The estrogen and c-Myc target gene HSPC111is over-expressed in breast cancer and associated with poor patient outcome (2008)

Butt, Alison J, Sergio, C Marcelo, Inman, Claire K, Anderson, Luke R, McNeil, Catriona M, Russell, Amanda J, ...

Abstract Introduction Estrogens play a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of breast cancer. The genes that mediate these processes are not fully defined, but potentially include the known...

Termination and Peptide Release at the Upstream Open Reading Frame Are Required for Downstream Translation on Synthetic Shunt-Competent mRNA Leaders

Hemmings-Mieszczak, Maja, Hohn, Thomas, Preiss, Thomas

We have shown recently that a stable hairpin preceded by a short upstream open reading frame (uORF) promotes nonlinear ribosome migration or ribosome shunt on a synthetic mRNA leader (M....

Yeast 18S rRNA Dimethylase Dim1p: a Quality Control Mechanism in Ribosome Synthesis?

Lafontaine, Denis L. J., Preiss, Thomas, Tollervey, David

One of the few rRNA modifications conserved between bacteria and eukaryotes is the base dimethylation present at the 3′ end of the small subunit rRNA. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this...

A report on the Comparative and Functional Genomics Workshop, Hinxton, UK, 2-5 November 2003.

The interaction of the cap-binding complex (CBC) with eIF4G is dispensable for translation in yeast

BARON-BENHAMOU, JULIE, FORTES, PURI, INADA, TOSHIFUMI, PREISS, THOMAS, HENTZE, MATTHIAS W.

In eukaryotes, the m7GpppN cap structure is added to all nascent RNA polymerase II transcripts, and serves important functions at multiple steps of RNA metabolism. The predominantly nuclear...

The antiviral drug ribavirin does not mimic the 7-methylguanosine moiety of the mRNA cap structure in vitro

WESTMAN, BELINDA, BEEREN, LISA, GRUDZIEN, EWA, STEPINSKI, JANUSZ, WORCH, REMIGIUSZ, ZUBEREK, JOANNA, ...

The eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4E binds the mRNA 5′ cap structure and has a central role during translational initiation. eIF4E and the mechanisms to control its activity have oncogenic...

MicroRNAs control translation initiation by inhibiting eukaryotic initiation factor 4E/cap and poly(A) tail function

Humphreys, David T., Westman, Belinda J., Martin, David I. K., Preiss, Thomas

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) repress translation of target mRNAs by interaction with partially mismatched sequences in their 3′ UTR. The mechanism by which they act on translation has remained largely...

A Network of Multiple Regulatory Layers Shapes Gene Expression in Fission Yeast

Lackner, Daniel H., Beilharz, Traude H., Marguerat, Samuel, Mata, Juan, Watt, Stephen, Schubert, Falk, ...

Gene expression is controlled at multiple layers, and cells may integrate different regulatory steps for coherent production of proper protein levels. We applied various microarray-based approaches...

The eIF4G–homolog p97 can activate translation independent of caspase cleavage

Nousch, Marco, Reed, Victoria, Bryson-Richardson, Robert J., Currie, Peter D., Preiss, Thomas

The eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4G family plays a central role during translation initiation, bridging between the 5′ and 3′ ends of the mRNA via its N-terminal third while recruiting...

Widespread use of poly(A) tail length control to accentuate expression of the yeast transcriptome

Beilharz, Traude H., Preiss, Thomas

Control of poly(A) tail length can affect translation and stability of eukaryotic mRNAs. Although well established for individual cases, it was not known to what extent this type of adjustable gene...
