Evidence that RBPs modulate multiple cancer traits, emphasize their functional diversity, and assess future trends in the study of RBPs in cancer are reviewed.
Abstract
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key players in post-transcriptional events. The combination of versatility of their RNA-binding domains with structural flexibility enables RBPs to control the metabolism of a large array of transcripts. Perturbations in RBP–RNA networks activity have been causally associated with cancer development, but the rational framework describing these contributions remains fragmented. We review here the evidence that RBPs modulate multiple cancer traits, emphasize their functional diversity, and assess future trends in the study of RBPs in cancer.

Influenza A Virus Cell Entry, Replication, Virion Assembly and Movement.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to present the current mechanistic understanding for how IAVs facilitate cell entry, replication, virion assembly, and intercellular movement, in an effort to highlight some of the unanswered questions regarding the coordination of the IAV infection process.

Expanded Expression Landscape and Prioritization of Circular RNAs in Mammals.

TL;DR: A large-scale study of circRNA repertoires from multiple tissues from human, macaque, and mouse finds thousands of evolutionarily conserved circRNAs that were valuable for functional screening and prioritization and constructed both species-specific and conserved gene co-expression networks.

Identification of cancer driver genes based on nucleotide context

TL;DR: This study observed that mutations in contexts that deviate from the characteristic contexts around passenger mutations provide a signal in favor of driver genes, and developed a method that combines this feature with the signals traditionally used for driver-gene identification.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Somatic Cells

TL;DR: This article showed that OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28 factors are sufficient to reprogram human somatic cells to pluripotent stem cells that exhibit the essential characteristics of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Supporting Online Material for Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Somatic Cells

TL;DR: Yu et al. as discussed by the authors proposed online material for induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from human Somatic Cells, which can be used for transplanting human stem cells to humans.

Transcriptome-wide Identification of RNA-Binding Protein and MicroRNA Target Sites by PAR-CLIP

TL;DR: This study developed a cell-based crosslinking approach to determine at high resolution and transcriptome-wide the binding sites of cellular RBPs and miRNPs and revealed that these factors bind thousands of sites containing defined sequence motifs and have distinct preferences for exonic versus intronic or coding versus untranslated transcript regions.
