Small RNAs that function in a non-cell autonomous manner are becoming increasingly
recognized as regulatory molecules with the potential to transmit information between cells …

RNA-specific nucleotidyl transferases (rNTrs) are a diverse family of template-independent
polymerases that add ribonucleotides to the 3′-ends of RNA molecules. All rNTrs share a …

RNA uridylation is a potent and widespread posttranscriptional regulator of gene
expression. RNA uridylation has been detected in a range of eukaryotes including …

Nuclear poly (A) polymerase (PAP) polyadenylates nascent mRNAs, promoting their nuclear
export, stability, and translation, while the related cytoplasmic polymerase GLD-2 activates …

After their endosymbiotic acquisition, plastids become intimately connected with the biology
of their host. For example, genes essential for plastid function may be relocated from the …

Polyadenylation of mitochondrial RNAs in higher eukaryotic organisms have diverse effects
on their function and metabolism. Polyadenylation completes the UAA stop codon of a …

Expression of the mitochondrial genome in protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei is
controlled post‐transcriptionally and requires extensive U‐insertion/deletion mRNA editing …

RNA polymerases are important enzymes involved in the realization of the genetic
information encoded in the genome. Thereby, DNA sequences are used as templates to …

Dinoflagellate plastid genes are believed to be encoded on small generally unigenic
plasmid-like minicircles. The minicircle gene complement has reached saturation with an …

Polyuridylation is emerging as a ubiquitous post-translational modification with important
roles in multiple aspects of RNA metabolism. These poly (U) tails are added by poly (U) …
