Journal ArticleDOI

Exportin 5 is a RanGTP-dependent dsRNA-binding protein that mediates nuclear export of pre-miRNAs

TL;DR: Nuclear export of pre-miRNAs is studied and it is shown that the process is saturable and thus carrier-mediated, and that exportin 5 interacts with double-stranded RNA in a sequence-independent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuning the ribosome: The influence of rRNA modification on eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis and function

TL;DR: Changes in the rRNA modification pattern have been observed in response to environmental changes, during development, and in disease, which suggests that rRNA modifications may contribute to the translational control of gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human METTL16 is a N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase that targets pre‐mRNAs and various non‐coding RNAs

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that METTL16 is responsible for N6‐methylation of A43 of the U6 snRNA and the early U6 biogenesis factors La, LARP7 and the methylphosphate capping enzyme MEPCE asMETTL16 interaction partners.
Journal ArticleDOI

The box C/D and H/ACA snoRNPs: key players in the modification, processing and the dynamic folding of ribosomal RNA.

TL;DR: High resolution structures of the archaeal C/D and H/ACA sRNPs have not only provided a detailed understanding of the molecular architecture of these complexes but also produced key insights into substrate binding and product release.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human 18S rRNA m6A methyltransferase METTL5 is stabilized by TRMT112.

TL;DR: It is proposed that METTL5–TRMT112 acts by extruding the adenosine to be modified from a double-stranded nucleic acid, supporting that its RNA-binding mode differs distinctly from that of other m6A RNA methyltransferases.
