TRanscription and EXport (TREX) is a conserved multisubunit complex essential for
embryogenesis, organogenesis and cellular differentiation throughout life. By linking …

Regulation of gene expression can occur at many different levels. One important step in the
gene expression process is the transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In …

PIWI-family proteins and their associated small RNAs (piRNAs) act in an evolutionarily
conserved innate immune mechanism to provide essential protection for germ-cell genomes …

Land plants have evolved increasingly complex regulatory modes of their flowering time (or
heading date in crops). Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a short-day plant that flowers more rapidly in …

Background CCCH-type zinc finger proteins comprise a large protein family. Increasing
evidence suggests that members of this family are RNA-binding proteins with regulatory …

RNA interactome studies have revealed that hundreds of zinc-finger proteins (ZFPs) are
candidate RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), yet their RNA substrates and functional …

Bacterial blight is a devastating disease of rice (Oryza sativa) caused by Xanthomonas
oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo). Zinc finger proteins harboring the motif with three conserved …

Recruitment of the human ribonucleolytic RNA exosome to nuclear polyadenylated (pA+)
RNA is facilitated by the Poly (A) Tail eXosome Targeting (PAXT) connection. Besides its …

Cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) are rapidly degraded by the nuclear exosome. However,
the mechanism by which they are recognized and targeted to the exosome is not fully …

Recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) induces multiple defense
mechanisms to limit pathogen growth. Here, we show that the Arabidopsis thaliana tandem …
