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

We put together a spotlight for @cp-cellchembiol.bsky.social highlighting the recent work from @baluapuri.bsky.social and @adelmanlab.bsky.social published in @cp-cell.bsky.social. Here they show how a breakdown in nuclear RNA regulation sends ripples of stress throughout the cell.

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....
