  2. 1. PARN - A Tale of A de-Tailor : Functional importance of poly(A) degradation in developmental and telomere biology disorders

    Author : Sethu Madhava Rao Gunja; Anders Virtanen; Jonas von Hofsten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PARN; Telomere biology disorders; snoRNAs; scaRNAs; TR TERC; Zebrafish; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) is a eukaryotic 3’-5’exoribonuclease that removes poly(A) tails of many coding and non-coding RNAs. In this thesis, we have studied the physiological role of PARN. READ MORE

  4. 2. The deep evolutionary roots of non-coding RNA - a comparative genomics approach

    Author : Marc Patrick Hoeppner; Anthony M. Poole; Britt-Marie Sjöberg; Jürgen Brosius; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; non-coding RNA; evolution; comparative genomics; RNA world; introns; snoRNA; miRNA; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) are a diverse group of genes that do not encode proteins but function exclusively on the level of RNA and were originally suggested to be remnants of a pre-DNA stage of life known as the RNA world. More recent work, however, has uncovered a rich repertoire of previously unknown families with possible consequences for our understanding of the origin and evolution of the modern RNA infrastructure.

  5. 3. High-resolution phenotypic profiling of a eukaryotic ribosome

    Author : Jonathan Esguerra; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ribosome; ribosomal protein genes; box C D snoRNA; box H ACA snoRNA; 2’-O-ribose methylation; pseudouridylation; high-resolution phenotypic profiling; chemogenetic profiling; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; rRNA modification;

    Abstract : All living cells contain ribosomes, complex macromolecular assemblies of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins, responsible for synthesizing polypeptides in a process called translation. High-resolution three-dimensional ribosomal structures coupled with biochemical studies have paved the way in understanding the various mechanistic events during protein synthesis. READ MORE

  6. 4. RNA modifications and post-transcriptional control in cancer and stem cells

    Author : Giulia Beneventi; Avdelningen för molekylär hematologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RNA modifications; Pseudouridine; 2’-O-methylation; Splicing; Translation; non-coding RNAs; Cancer; Stem cells; Differentiation; Stress response;

    Abstract : Splicing and translation are two of the key steps of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Their tight regulation is essential for development, whereas their deregulation is involved in cancer pathogenesis. Nevertheless, many of the molecular mechanisms controlling these processes are still unknown. READ MORE

  7. 5. PARN – The Tail End : Function and mechanisms of specificity and processivity

    Author : Mikael Nissbeck; Anders Virtanen; Renée Schroeder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Poly A specific ribonuclease; Adenosine; Specificity; Processivty; Telomere biology disorders; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) is an exoribonuclease that is processive, poly(A) specific and cap-binding. PARN deadenylates the poly(A) tails present on a subset of mRNAs and non-coding RNAs, including among others certain snoRNAs, miRNAs and precursor rRNAs. READ MORE
