Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable non-coding RNAs with a closed circular structure. One of the best studied circRNAs is ciRS-7 (CDR1as), which acts as a regulator of the microRNA miR-7; however, its biosynthetic pathway has remained an enigma. H...

One of the morphological hallmarks of terminally differentiated secretory cells is highly proliferated membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but the molecular basis for the high rate of protein biosynthesis in these cells remains poorl...
Spliceostatin A (SSA) is a methyl ketal derivative of FR901464, a potent antitumor compound isolated from a culture broth of Pseudomonas sp. no. 2663. These compounds selectively bind to the essential spliceosome component SF3b, a subcomplex of th...

A recent massive parallel sequencing analysis has shown the fact that more than 80% of the human genome is transcribed into RNA. Among many kinds of the non-protein coding RNAs, we focus on the metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript ...
A previously mysterious small RNA molecule in mice is found to play a crucial role in gene expression, and may be the first identified member of a new class of regulatory RNAs.
Specialized enzymes add methyl groups to the nitrogens of the amino acid histidine, altering the chemical properties of its imidazole ring and, in turn, the function of the modified (poly)peptide. In this issue of Genes & Development, Shimazu and ...
