    Large-scale tethered function assays identify factors that regulate mRNA stability and translation

    The molecular functions of the majority of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) remain unclear, highlighting a major bottleneck to a full understanding of gene expression regulation. Here, we develop a plasmid resource...

    Short poly(A) tails are a conserved feature of highly expressed genes

    Although deadenylation induces translational inhibition and mRNA decay, well-expressed transcripts are now shown to possess short, well-defined poly(A) tails, suggesting that pruned tails may be ideal for prot...

    RNA-binding protein CPEB1 remodels host and viral RNA landscapes

    The RNA-binding protein CPEB1 drives post-transcriptional changes in the host transcriptome and poly(A)-tail lengthening of viral RNAs, processes essential for productive HCMV infection.
