The genes belonging to Pumilio gene family of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe) were compared with genome information of the several fungi and their functions have been inferred using public-access databases disclosed on the internet websites. The Pumilio-family genes are conserved from yeast to man and have been considered to suppress the expression of other genes by binding their specific target messenger RNAs. In S. pombe genome, nine genes belonging to Pumilio gene family were found and were clustered into four groups by homology of their amino acid sequences. Each gene has been analyzed to search 'close orthologue' in the genomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida parapsilosis, Aspergillus fumigatus, Phytophthora infestans, Pneumocystis carinii and Neurospora crassa, using protein-protein blast P search. Consequently, we found several genes belonging to Pumilio gene family in the genomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida parapsilosis, and Neurospora crassa. Evolution and function of these genes can be expected from the analysis based on the molecular phylogenies.

Plant survival in a warmer world requires the timely adjustment of biological processes to cyclical changes in the new environment. Circadian oscillators have been proposed to contribute to thermal adaptation and plasticity. However, the influence of temperature on circadian clock performance and its impact on plant behaviour in natural ecosystems are not well-understood.

RNA binding proteins orchestrate the post-transcriptional fate of RNA molecules, but the principles of their action remain poorly understood. Pumilio (PUM) proteins bind 3' UTRs of mRNAs and lead to mRNA decay. To comprehensively map the determinants of recognition of sequences by PUM proteins in cells and to study the binding outcomes, we developed a massively parallel RNA assay that profiled thousands of PUM-binding sites in cells undergoing various perturbations or RNA immunoprecipitation.

The translational repressor Nanos (Nos) regulates a single target, maternal hunchback (hb) mRNA, to govern abdominal segmentation in the early Drosophila embryo. Nos is recruited to sites in the 3' UTR of hb mRNA in collaboration with the sequence-specific RNA-binding protein Pumilio (Pum); on its own, Nos has no binding specificity. Nos is expressed at other stages of development, but very few mRNA targets that might mediate its action at these stages have been described.

Article Synopsis
- Histological analysis of testicular sections is essential for infertility research but often requires extensive training, prompting the need for faster methods.
- A new deep learning model was developed to analyze mouse testicular sections stained with H&E, resulting in improved accuracy and reduced analysis time while identifying spermatogenic defects in mutant mice.
- The SCSD-Net model enables rapid assessment of reproductive defects in just 2.5-3 hours, revealing significant interactions between Sertoli and DAZ family proteins that impact testis size and meiotic function.

Article Synopsis
- Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are unique RNA molecules that resist degradation, offering potential as stable biomarkers and therapeutic targets for diseases.
- This study focused on analyzing circRNAs during the response to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine by sequencing blood samples from healthcare workers.
- A total of 4706 circRNAs were identified, with 4217 being newly expressed during vaccination, suggesting they play a role in immune response and are associated with stress granule assemblies and specific RNA binding proteins.
