This article contains experimental data examining the propensity of neuronal ELAVL proteins to become isoaspartylated. The data are related to the article "Isoaspartylation appears to trigger small cell lung cancer-associated autoimmunity against neuronal protein ELAVL4" (M.A. Pulido, M.K. DerHartunian, Z. Qin, E.M. Chung, D.S. Kang, A.W. Woodham, J.A. Tsou, R. Klooster, O. Akbari, L. Wang, W.M. Kast, S.V. Liu, J.J.G.M. Verschuuren, D.W. Aswad, I.A. Laird-Offringa, 2016) [1], in which it was reported that the N-terminal region of recombinant human ELAVL4 protein, incubated under physiological conditions, acquires a type of highly immunogenic protein damage. Here, we present Western blot analysis data generated by using an affinity-purified polyclonal rabbit antibody (raised against an N-terminal ELAVL4 isoaspartyl-converted peptide) to probe recombinant protein fragments of the other three members of the ELAVL family: the highly homologous neuronal ELAVL2 (HuB) and ELAVL3 (HuC), and the much less homologous ubiquitously expressed ELAVL1 (HuR).

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play central roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation. However, the function of RBP in retinal progenitor cell differentiation and synaptic signal transmission are largely unexplored. Previously we have shown that Elavl2 regulates amacrine cell (AC) differentiation during retinogenesis, by directly binding to Nr4a2 and Barhl2.

Regulation of lifespan by transcription factors has been well established. More recently, a role for RNA binding proteins (RBPs) in regulating lifespan has also emerged. In both cases, a major challenge is to determine which regulatory targets are functionally responsible for the observed lifespan phenotype.

Article Synopsis
- Loss of RNA balance in neurons is linked to various neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases, yet the details of how neuroinflammation starts are not well understood.
- Research shows that human neurons possess high levels of immunostimulatory double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) which are generated from long 3'UTRs, and specific genes can enhance both the length of these UTRs and the dsRNA levels.
- While normal neurons use dsRNAs to activate antiviral defenses, those lacking the dsRNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 face toxic inflammation and cell death, highlighting the need for RNA homeostasis to avoid harmful neuroinflammation.

Embryonic development requires tight control of gene expression levels, activity, and localisation. This control is coordinated by multiple levels of regulation on DNA, RNA and protein. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are recognised as key regulators of post-transcriptional gene regulation, where their binding controls splicing, polyadenylation, nuclear export, mRNA stability, translation rate and decay.

While astrocyte-to-neuron (AtN) reprogramming holds great promise in regenerative medicine, the molecular mechanisms that govern this unique biological process remain elusive. To understand the function of miRNAs during the AtN reprogramming process, we performed RNA-seq of both mRNAs and miRNAs on human astrocyte (HA) cultures upon NeuroD1 overexpression. Bioinformatics analyses showed that NeuroD1 not only activated essential neuronal genes to initiate the reprogramming process but also induced miRNA changes in HA.
