TLDR
In this paper, the authors discuss recent studies in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes showing that structure formation may carry a more widespread regulatory logic during RNA synthesis, showing that local structures forming close to the catalytic center of RNA polymerases have the potential to regulate transcription.

Merging Established Mechanisms with New Insights: Condensates, Hubs, and the Regulation of RNA Polymerase II Transcription

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the conventional and condensate-dependent models of RNA polymerase II (pol II) and highlight the central role of RNA in these processes, and discuss mutations that disrupt normal partitioning of transcription factors.

Transcription complexes as RNA chaperones.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role of transcription complexes as RNA chaperones based on recent examples from bacterial transcription, and show that RNA polymerase and associated transcription factors play a role in co-transcriptional RNA folding by fostering or preventing strategic contacts to the nascent transcripts.

Cotranscriptional RNA strand exchange underlies the gene regulation mechanism in a purine-sensing transcriptional riboswitch

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the structure and function of the Bacillus subtilis yxjA purine riboswitch, a transcriptional RNA downregulator that downregulates a nucleoside transporter in response to binding guanine.

A practical guide to single-molecule FRET

TL;DR: A practical guide to using smFRET, focusing on the study of immobilized molecules that allow measurements of single-molecule reaction trajectories from 1 ms to many minutes, is provided.

How RNA folds.

TL;DR: A folding algorithm to predict the structure of an RNA from its sequence is suggested, but to solve the RNA folding problem one needs thermodynamic data on tertiary structure interactions, and identification and characterization of metal-ion binding sites.

Deciphering the splicing code

TL;DR: The assembly of a ‘splicing code’ is described, which uses combinations of hundreds of RNA features to predict tissue-dependent changes in alternative splicing for thousands of exons and facilitates the discovery and detailed characterization of regulatedAlternative splicing events on a genome-wide scale.

Context-dependent control of alternative splicing by RNA-binding proteins

TL;DR: Some of the emerging rules that govern the highly context-dependent and combinatorial nature of alternative splicing regulation are described.
