Ulrich Hohmann @hohmannulrich.bsky.social · 20d

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)

Molecular basis of polyadenylated RNA fate determination in the nucleus

Eukaryotic 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.

A molecular switch orchestrates the nuclear export of human messenger RNA

The nuclear export of messenger RNA (mRNA) is a key step in eukaryotic gene expression ([Köhler and Hurt, 2007][1]). Despite recent insights into the packaging of newly transcribed mRNAs into ribonucl...

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.

First paper of our lab today @natureportfolio.bsky.social by Nussi!

We provide a real-time movie on how #transcription and #translation cooperate using #single-molecule FM: we find long-range #ribosome/ RNAP communication mediated by #RNA looping!

Josh Mendell @mendell-lab.bsky.social · Nov 22

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/...

Specific tRNAs promote mRNA decay by recruiting the CCR4-NOT complex to translating ribosomes

The 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....
