Rolling Circle DNA Synthesis: Small Circular Oligonucleotides as Efficient Templates for DNA Polymerases

TL;DR: It is reported that small, single-stranded circular DNA oligonucleotides 26 to 74 nucleotides in size can behave as catalytic templates for DNA synthesis by several DNA polymerase enzymes, and it is demonstrated that the multimeric products can be cleaved enzymatically to short, sequence-defined oligodeoxynucleotide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Symplekin and xGLD-2 are required for CPEB-mediated cytoplasmic polyadenylation.

TL;DR: Two new factors that are essential for polyadenylation are defined: symplekin, a CPEB and CPSF binding protein that serves as a scaffold upon which regulatory factors are assembled, and xGLD-2, an unusual poly(A) polymerase that is anchored to CPEb and CPSf even before polyadenyation begins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of CPEB by Eg2 mediates the recruitment of CPSF into an active cytoplasmic polyadenylation complex.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the molecular function of Eg2-phosphorylated CPEB is to recruit CPSF into an active cytoplasmic polyadenylation complex.
