Telling Footprints: Exon Junction Complexes Mark Targets of Nonsense- and miRNA-Mediated mRNA Decay
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefRNA degradation mechanisms control the quality and quantity of mRNAs and are crucial for plant cell viability. The major pathways for RNA degradation involve 5’-3’ or 3’-5’ exonucleolytic cleavage by exoribonucleases or the exosome complex, respectively, whereas targets of miRNAs are cleaved…

The Rules of Attachment: REC8 Cohesin Connects Chromatin Architecture and Recombination Machinery in Meiosis
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefDuring cell division, accurate tethering and release of newly replicated sister chromatids is essential for ensuring that each daughter cell receives a full set of chromosomes. To accomplish this, cells use cohesins that act as the “chromosomal glue”. These cohesins are a group of ring-shaped protein…
