Posttranslational control of HuR function.

TLDR
Modifications of HuR function are described that alter its subcellular localization and its ability to bind target RNAs and impact on gene expression programs and disease states.
Abstract
The RNA-binding protein HuR (human antigen R) associates with numerous transcripts, coding and noncoding, and controls their splicing, localization, stability, and translation. Through its regulation of target transcripts, HuR has been implicated in cellular events including proliferation, senescence, differentiation, apoptosis, and the stress and immune responses. In turn, HuR influences processes such as cancer and inflammation. HuR function is primarily regulated through posttranslational modifications that alter its subcellular localization and its ability to bind target RNAs; such modifications include phosphorylation, methylation, ubiquitination, NEDDylation, and proteolytic cleavage. In this review, we describe the modifications that impact upon HuR function on gene expression programs and disease states.

The expanding regulatory mechanisms and cellular functions of circular RNAs.

TL;DR: Recent studies have shed new light on the biogenesis and functions of circular RNAs, which include the modulation of transcription and splicing, and interference with microRNAs and other cellular signalling pathways.

Identification of HuR target circular RNAs uncovers suppression of PABPN1 translation by CircPABPN1.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the extensive binding of CircPABPN1 to HuR prevents HuR binding to P ABPN1 mRNA and lowers PABPN1 translation, providing the first example of competition between a circRNA and its cognate mRNA for an RBP that affects translation.

Cellular retinoid binding-proteins, CRBP, CRABP, FABP5: effects on retinoid metabolism, function and related diseases

TL;DR: Michaelis-Menten and other kinetic approaches verify that BP channel retinoids to select enzymes and receptors by protein-protein interactions, and the extent of BP interactions with retinoid metabolon enzymes and their impact onretinoid physiology remains incompletely understood.

UPFront and center in RNA decay: UPF1 in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and beyond

TL;DR: This review focuses on how the NMD machinery recognizes an NMD target and triggers mRNA degradation, and compares and contrast the mechanisms by which UPF1 functions in the decay of other mRNAs and also in microRNA decay.
