Subgroup-specific structural variation across 1,000 medulloblastoma genomes

Paul A. Northcott, +139 more
- 02 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: Somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs) in 1,087 unique medulloblastomas are reported, including recurrent events targeting TGF-β signalling in Group 3, and NF-κB signalling in Groups 4, which suggest future avenues for rational, targeted therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The RNA-binding SAM domain of Smaug defines a new family of post-transcriptional regulators.

TL;DR: It is shown here that the SAM domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Vts1 binds RNA with the same specificity as Smaug and that VTS1 induces transcript degradation through a mechanism involving the cytoplasmic deadenylase CCR4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence-specific recognition of RNA hairpins by the SAM domain of Vts1p

TL;DR: The 2.0-Å X-ray structure of the Vts1p SAM domain bound to a high-affinity RNA ligand is reported and NNF1 is validated as an endogenous target of VTS1p among 79 transcripts that copurify with Vts 1p.
