Super cool to see the result of our collaborative work with @heick.bsky.social 's lab finally out! Shaped through many discussions with @abugai.bsky.social, @lorenzoana.bsky.social & @max2max.bsky.social, @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social & Clemens, trying to decipher LENG8's secrets!

Now published! We investigated how polyadenylated RNAs are targeted for decay in the human nucleus. www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/5)

How are RNAs sorted for export vs. degradation in the nucleus? In collaboration with @heick.bsky.social’s lab we (@clemensplaschka.bsky.social and @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social labs) discovered a direct mechanistic link between the export and decay machineries: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/x)

biorxiv.orgMolecular basis of polyadenylated RNA fate determination in the nucleusEukaryotic genomes generate a plethora of polyadenylated (pA+) RNAs[1][1],[2][2], that are packaged into ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs). To ensure faithful gene expression, functional pA+ RNPs, in...

Dream collaboration with the groups of Torben Heick Jensen (@heick.bsky.social; @au.dk) and Clemens Plaschka (@impvienna.bsky.social). Building in part on the incredible work from Ulrich Hohmann on human mRNA export. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thrilled to see my work with @adelmanlab.bsky.social on INT/dsRNA highlighted by @willgarland.bsky.social and @heick.bsky.social ! Thanks for beautifully capturing how nuclear RNA guardians prevent cellular chaos. The ripple effects of transcriptional dysregulation are indeed profound! #RNABiology

William Garland@willgarland.bsky.social

We put together a spotlight for @cp-cellchembiol.bsky.social highlighting the recent work from @baluapuri.bsky.social and @adelmanlab.bsky.social published in @cp-cell.bsky.social. Here they show how a breakdown in nuclear RNA regulation sends ripples of stress throughout the cell.

I’m thrilled to share a collaborative story from @Mendell_lab and Jan Erzberger labs, led by postdoc extraordinaire Xiaoqiang Zhu. We showed that in addition to their canonical decoding function, tRNAs play a key role in regulating mRNA stability during translation! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

science.orgSpecific tRNAs promote mRNA decay by recruiting the CCR4-NOT complex to translating ribosomesThe CCR4-NOT complex is a major regulator of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) stability. Slow decoding during translation promotes association of CCR4-NOT with ribosomes, accelerating mRNA degradation....
