Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) are a highly conserved family of RNA-binding proteins able to associate with nascent RNAs in order to support their localization, maturation and translation. Research over this last decade has remarked the importance of gene regulatory processes at post-transcriptional level, highlighting the emerging roles of hnRNPs in several essential biological events. Indeed, hnRNPs are key factors in regulating gene expression, thus, having a number of roles in many biological pathways. Moreover, failure of the activities catalysed by hnRNPs affects various biological processes and may underlie several human diseases including cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative syndromes. In this review, we summarize some of hnRNPs' roles in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, particularly focusing on their participation in all aspects of post-transcriptional regulation as well as their conserved role and involvement in the aetiology of human pathologies.

The foggy world(s) of p63 isoform regulation in normal cells and cancer.

Authors:
Zuzana Pokorná Jan Vysloužil Václav Hrabal Bořivoj Vojtěšek Philip J Coates

J Pathol 2021 Feb 26. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Research Centre of Applied Molecular Oncology (RECAMO), Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute, Brno, Czech Republic.

The p53-family member, p63, exists as two major protein variants (TAp63 and ΔNp63) with distinct expression patterns and functional properties. Whilst downstream target genes of p63 have been studied intensively, how p63 variants are themselves controlled has been relatively neglected. Here, we review advances in understanding ΔNp63 and TAp63 regulation, highlighting their distinct pathways. Read More

METTL3-dependent mA modification programs T follicular helper cell differentiation.

Authors:
Yingpeng Yao Ying Yang Wenhui Guo Lifan Xu Menghao You Yi-Chang Zhang Zhen Sun Xiao Cui Guotao Yu Zhihong Qi Jingjing Liu Fang Wang Juanjuan Liu Tianyan Zhao Lilin Ye Yun-Gui Yang Shuyang Yu

Nat Commun 2021 Feb 26;12(1):1333. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

T follicular helper (T) cells are specialized effector CD4 T cells critical to humoral immunity. Whether post-transcriptional regulation has a function in T cells is unknown. Here, we show conditional deletion of METTL3 (a methyltransferase catalyzing mRNA N-methyladenosine (mA) modification) in CD4 T cells impairs T differentiation and germinal center responses in a cell-intrinsic manner in mice.

Glutathione (GSH) is an abundant tripeptide that plays a crucial role in shielding cellular macromolecules from various reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in fungi. Understanding GSH metabolism is of vital importance to deciphering redox regulation in these microorganisms. In the present study, to better understand the GSH metabolism in filamentous fungi, we investigate functions of the and genes in the model fungus These genes are orthologues of involved in cytosolic GSH degradation in the yeast.

Functioning of PPR Proteins in Organelle RNA Metabolism and Chloroplast Biogenesis.

Xinwei Wang Yaqi An Pan Xu Jianwei Xiao

Front Plant Sci 2021 9;12:627501. Epub 2021 Feb 9.

Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Tree Breeding by Molecular Design, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, China.

The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins constitute one of the largest nuclear-encoded protein families in higher plants, with over 400 members in most sequenced plant species. The molecular functions of these proteins and their physiological roles during plant growth and development have been widely studied. Generally, there is mounting evidence that PPR proteins are involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of chloroplast and/or mitochondrial genes, including RNA maturation, editing, intron splicing, transcripts' stabilization, and translation initiation.

Jin-Seon Yook Mikyoung You Yongeun Kim Mi Zhou Zhenhua Liu Young-Cheul Kim Jaekwon Lee Soonkyu Chung

J Biol Chem 2021 Feb 22:100452. Epub 2021 Feb 22.

Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA; Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE. Electronic address:

The development of thermogenic adipocytes concurs with mitochondrial biogenesis, an iron-dependent pathway. Iron regulatory proteins (IRP) 1 and 2 are RNA-binding proteins that regulate intracellular iron homeostasis. IRPs bind to the iron-response element (IRE) of their target mRNAs, balancing iron uptake and deposition at the post-transcriptional levels. Read More
