We previously reported that the human HER2 gene encodes the intronic microRNA mir-4728, which is overexpressed together with its oncogenic host gene and may act independently of the HER2 receptor. More recently, we also reported that the oncogenic miR-21-5p is regulated by 3' tailing and trimming by the non-canonical poly(A) polymerase PAPD5 and the ribonuclease PARN. Here we demonstrate a dual function for the HER2 locus in upregulation of miR-21-5p; while HER2 signalling activates transcription of mir-21, miR-4728-3p specifically stabilises miR-21-5p through inhibition of PAPD5. Our results establish a new and unexpected oncogenic role for the HER2 locus that is not currently being targeted by any anti-HER2 therapy.

Growing evidence suggests that ribosomes selectively regulate translation of specific mRNA subsets. Here, quantitative proteomics and cryoelectron microscopy demonstrate that poxvirus infection does not alter ribosomal subunit protein (RP) composition but skews 40S rotation states and displaces the 40S head domain. Genetic knockout screens employing metabolic assays and a dual-reporter virus further identified two RPs that selectively regulate non-canonical translation of late poxvirus mRNAs, which contain unusual 5' poly(A) leaders: receptor of activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) and RPLP2.

However, it has also been suggested that innate immune responses may be triggered by viral transcription. In this study, we investigated whether an immunostimulatory RNA is produced during IAV transcription.

Purpose: Terminal nucleotidyltransferase 5A (TENT5A), recently predicted as a non-canonical poly(A) polymerase, is critically involved in several human disorders including retinitis pigmentosa, cancer and obesity. However, the exact biological role of TENT5A in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been elucidated.
Methods: The transcription level of TENT5A and clinical correlation were analyzed using the LIRI-JP cohort, the TCGA-LIHC cohort, and clinical tissue samples of HCC patients in our laboratory.

The addition of non-templated nucleotides at the 3' terminus of RNA is a pervasive and evolutionarily conserved posttranscriptional modification in eukaryotes. Apart from canonical poly(A) polymerases (PAPs), which are responsible for catalyzing polyadenylation of messenger RNAs in the nucleus, a distinct group of non-canonical PAPs (ncPAPs), also known as nucleotidyl transferase proteins (NTPs), mediate the addition of uridine and adenosine or of more intricate combinations of nucleotides. Among these, HEN1 SUPPRESSOR 1 (HESO1) and UTP: RNA URIDYLYLTRANSFERASE (URT1) are the two most extensively studied NTPs responsible for the addition of uridine to the 3' ends of RNAs (RNA uridylation).

Transcripts from the human gene, which encodes a central component of the mRNA polyadenylation (PA) machinery, are subject to alternative polyadenylation (APA) within promoter-proximal introns/exons. This APA, which itself involves usage of multiple PA sites, results in the production of two non-canonical protein isoforms, V2 and V3, that are functionally completely unrelated to the full-length protein, with roles in innate immunity. The mechanism and regulation of APA are unclear.
