With their categorical requirement for host ribosomes to translate mRNA, viruses provide a wealth of genetically tractable models to investigate how gene expression is remodeled post-transcriptionally by infection-triggered biological stress. By co-opting and subverting cellular pathways that control mRNA decay, modification, and translation, the global landscape of post-transcriptional processes is swiftly reshaped by virus-encoded factors. Concurrent host cell-intrinsic countermeasures likewise conscript post-transcriptional strategies to mobilize critical innate immune defenses. Here we review strategies and mechanisms that control mRNA decay, modification, and translation in animal virus-infected cells. Besides settling infection outcomes, post-transcriptional gene regulation in virus-infected cells epitomizes fundamental physiological stress responses in health and disease.

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are cellular factors involved in every step of RNA metabolism. During HIV-1 infection, these proteins are key players in the fine-tuning of viral and host cellular and molecular pathways, including (but not limited to) viral entry, transcription, splicing, RNA modification, translation, decay, assembly, and packaging, as well as the modulation of the antiviral response. Targeted studies have been of paramount importance in identifying and understanding the role of RNA-binding proteins that bind to HIV-1 RNAs.

This study evaluated the stability and reusability of amino-functionalized nanocellulose aerogels as CO-adsorbent materials. The modified aerogels, synthesized via a controlled silylation using N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] ethylenediamine (DAMO), demonstrated excellent thermal stability up to 250 °C (TGA) and efficient CO adsorption through chemisorption, which was the main adsorption mechanism. The performance of the aerogels was assessed using both adsorption isotherms and the decay pressure technique, revealing that CO adsorption capacity increased with higher amino group loading (4.

Eutectic-based polymer electrolytes have emerged as promising solid electrolytes because of their ionic liquid-like properties, while modifications are essential to further increase their ionic conductivity at room temperature and solve their compatibility with lithium anode. In this work, an in situ polymerized composite electrolyte is modified by the addition of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) whose beneficial effect is systematically investigated in different contents. Poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), deep eutectic solvent (LiTFSI:-methylacetamide = 1:3), and alumina fiber work as the monomer, solvent, and three-dimensional skeleton, respectively.

Although Pus1 is highly conserved, and mutations are associated with human disease, little is known about eukaryotic Pus1 biology. Here, we show that Schizosaccharomyces pombe pus1Δ mutants are temperature sensitive due to decay of tRNAIle(UAU), as tRNAIle(UAU) levels are reduced, and its overexpression suppresses the defect.

RNA metabolism is focused on RNA molecules and encompasses all the crucial processes an RNA molecule may or will undergo throughout its life cycle. It is an essential cellular process that allows all cells to function effectively. The transcriptomic landscape of a cell is shaped by the processes such as RNA biosynthesis, maturation (RNA processing, folding, and modification), intra- and inter-cellular transport, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, modification, catabolic decay, and retrograde signaling, all of which are interconnected and are essential for cellular RNA homeostasis.
