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!

With the labs of @heick.bsky.social and @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social, we show LENG8-PS is structurally similar to TREX-2 and that both act on a central mRNP protein, the RNA clampase UAP56. But while TREX-2 connects to the nuclear pore for export, LENG8-PS connects to the RNA exosome for decay.(3/5)

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)

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

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....
