The Complex Enzymology Of mRNA Decapping
Single stranded RNAs with a free 5′ monophosphate end are susceptible to rapid degradation. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are stabilized by hairpin structures and by “hiding” their 5′ ends within complex protein structures.
Unconventional RNA-Binding Proteins Step into the Virus–Host Battlefront
Recent proteome‐wide approaches have greatly expanded the census of RNA‐binding proteins, discovering hundreds of proteins that interact with RNA through unconventional RBDs.
The Devil Fights Back: How the Tasmanian Devil Adapts to Transmissible Cancer
In their review in BioEssays, Beata Ujvari and colleagues review how the transmissible cancer termed ‘devil facial tumor disease’ affects life history adaptations in Tasmanian devils.
Phenotypic Plasticity in C. elegans: In “Dauer” Need of Stress Relief
Interestingly, C. elegans is capable of a remarkable case of phenotypic plasticity, called the dauer stage, where it is capable of surviving without food for three months. (Image credit: D. Kucharski K. Kucharska/Shutterstock)
