The RNA-binding protein PTBP1 is recruited to sites near stop codons in retroviral and human mRNAs, shielding them from detection and degradation by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway.

The myopathic transcription factor DUX4 induces discordant dysregulation of transcript and protein levels, demonstrating a key role for post-transcriptional gene regulation in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
Cryo-EM reveals the regulation of RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 AAA-ATPases by DHX34, a helicase involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and suggests mechanisms for how RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 function in NMD.
Expression of the disease gene DUX4 inhibits RNA quality control in skeletal muscle, thereby stabilizing thousands of aberrant RNAs, including its own transcript.
Brain region-specific profiling of O-GlcNAcylation interactome in Drosophila mushroom body suggests that hypo-O-GlcNAcylation impacts cognitive function by regulating translational activity.
Dcp2 C-terminal domain cis-regulatory elements collaborating with specific activators control decapping enzyme targeting and activation by orchestrating sequential assembly of distinct decapping complexes.
