In the past decades an extensive mathematical literature was developed to model and analyze gene networks under both deterministic and stochastic formalisms. However, such literature is predominantly focused to deal with the modeling of transcriptional and translational regulation, but results related to post-transcriptional regulation and its connection with transcriptional regulation are poorly investigated. However, it is becoming of paramount importance the need for modeling post-transcriptional regulation via splicing especially for minor organisms or viruses.The aim of this study is to propose a first general basic modeling scheme for modeling gene expression via alternative splicing and investigating the basic deterministic and stochastic features of the pre-mRNA, mRNAs and proteins under different biological conditions.This first study showed the dynamical properties of alternative splicing, the faster kinetics of the pre-mRNA compared to the mRNA and the importance to stochastically model gene networks when considering the post-transcriptional regulation.

Faced with nutritional stress, some bacteria form endospores capable of enduring extreme conditions for long periods of time; yet the function of many proteins expressed during sporulation remains a mystery. We identify one such protein, KapD, as a 3'-exoribonuclease expressed under control of the mother cell-specific transcription factors SigE and SigK in Bacillus subtilis. KapD dynamically assembles over the spore surface through a direct interaction with the major crust protein CotY.

Ferroptosis is linked to various tumor biological traits, and alternative splicing (AS), a crucial step in mRNA processing, plays a role in the post-transcriptional regulation of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs). A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalized Cox regression analysis was utilized to build a prognostic signature based on 12 AS events (p < 0.05), which was validated in gastric cancer (GC) patients.

The oral epithelium, a dynamic interface constantly facing environmental challenges, relies on intricate molecular pathways to maintain its homeostasis. This comprehensive review delves into the nuanced interplay between T-lymphocytic cells (T cells) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) within the oral epithelium, elucidating their roles in orchestrating immune responses and influencing tissue plasticity. By synthesizing current knowledge, we aim to unravel the molecular intricacies that govern this interplay, with a focus on potential therapeutic implications for oral health and diseases.

Upon stimulation and activation, mast cells (MCs) release soluble mediators, including histamine, proteases, and cytokines. These mediators are often stored within cytoplasmic granules in MCs and may be released in a granulated form. The secretion of cytokines and chemokines occurs within hours following activation, with the potential to result in chronic inflammation.

Pseudouridine (Ψ) is the most abundant RNA modification in nature; however, not much is known about the biological functions of this modified nucleoside. Employing an unbiased quantitative proteomics method, we identified multiple candidate reader proteins of Ψ in RNA, including a cytoskeletal protein profilin-1 (PFN1). We demonstrated that PFN1 binds directly and selectively to Ψ-containing RNA.
