Happy to share the Preview by RTG PIs Cornelia Kilchert & Katja Sträßer on the recent paper @cp-molcell.bsky.social by Tian et al on LENG8's role in nuclear RNA quality control. Here's 50 days' free access - so check it out before June 05, 2026! kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Very happy to share the paper on nuclear mRNA export by Nataliia Stefanyshena now out in #NAR! Nataliia uncovered that, counterintuitively, an excess of the conserved mRNA exporter Mex67 in yeast messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) impairs mRNA export. academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

An elevated level of the mRNA exporter Mex67-Mtr2 in nuclear mRNPs impairs nuclear mRNA export

Abstract. In eukaryotes, nuclear messenger RNA (mRNA) export is a crucial step in gene expression, mediated by the conserved mRNA exporter Mex67-Mtr2 in Sa

Happy to share the work by Fabienne Becker et al in #NAR, showing how yeast Tho1-CTD stimulates helicase activity of Sub2, homologue of human DDX39B/UAP56, by promoting Sub2 oligomerization on RNA. The scaffolding mechanism is shared across species: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Tho1 and MOS11 promote nucleic acid double-strand unwinding by facilitating DEAD-box helicase oligomerization

Abstract. DEAD-box helicases are essential for gene expression and RNA metabolism. However, the mechanisms regulating their activity remain largely elusive

Happy to announce our RTG 2355 International Conference “Regulatory landscapes of RNA: From code to control”, Sept 14-16, 2026 in Giessen, Germany. Topics cover #RNA as messenger, recruiting platform, sponge, regulator & sensor. 👉tinyurl.com/rtg2355conf Save the date – registration opens May 1!

And here goes another one - @rtg2355.bsky.social-member Fabienne Becker from the Friedhoff lab presented her research at the 2025 Helicase Conference in Lisbon today: "The Conserved C-terminal Domain of Tho1 Stimulates the DEAD-box Helicase Sub2" - more coming soon #proudCoordinator 😉

Palina Kot from @straesserlab.bsky.social recently gave a talk on her "Structural and Functional Insights into the Sub2-Yra1-Tho1 Complex in Nuclear mRNP Biogenesis" at the 2nd Polish RNA Biology Meeting in Poznan - #proudPI

Congratulations to our biochemistry professor Utz Fischer: he has been elected to @embo.org ! His research focuses on the macromolecular machines of the cell. 📷 Christoph Weiss www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

What does it mean to be a woman in science 👩‍🔬? It’s up to you: Join the 9th Women’s Careers and Networks symposium on June 4 and 5 on our Fassberg Campus to explore career opportunities and engage with experts and peers. Learn more about #WoCaNet2025 here 👉 uni-goettingen.de/de/203891.html

The two talks were indeed a great start for a great meeting. I am looking forward to more to come!

The first night of #RNA25 is in the books kicked off by two amazing keynote speakers- Erin Schuman for Mac Planck and Tracy Johnson from UCLA! Main program starts tomorrow! @rnasociety.bsky.social

We are excited to share the work of Nataliia Stefanyshena who showed that maintenance of an optimal Mex67 level in nuclear mRNPs is required for efficient mRNA export: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

An elevated level of the mRNA exporter Mex67-Mtr2 in nuclear mRNPs impairs nuclear mRNA export

In eukaryotes, a crucial step in gene expression is the export of the mRNA out of nucleus. The conserved mRNA exporter Mex67-Mtr2 (NXF1-NXT1 in human) is a key factor in this process. In S. cerevisiae...
