To decipher the molecular bases governing seed germination, this study presents the pivotal role of the cap-binding complex (CBC), comprising CBP20 and CBP80, in modulating the inhibitory effects of abscisic acid (ABA) in barley. Using both single and double barley mutants in genes encoding the CBC, we revealed that the double mutant hvcbp20.ab/hvcbp80.b displays ABA insensitivity, in stark contrast to the hypersensitivity observed in single mutants during germination. Our comprehensive transcriptome and metabolome analysis not only identified significant alterations in gene expression and splicing patterns but also underscored the regulatory nexus among CBC, ABA, and brassinosteroid (BR) signaling pathways.

The PB2 subunit of the influenza virus polymerase complex is essential for viral replication, primarily through a mechanism known as cap-snatching. In this process, PB2 binds to the 5' cap structure of host pre-mRNAs, enabling the viral polymerase to hijack the host transcriptional machinery. This binding facilitates the cleavage and integration of the capped RNA fragment into viral mRNA, thereby promoting efficient viral replication.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed single-stranded RNAs produced predominantly through a back-splicing process. They play regulatory roles in various biological and physiological processes; however, the molecular mechanisms by which circRNAs operate remain unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that circRNAs facilitate rapid mRNA degradation through RNA-RNA interactions between circRNAs and the 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) of mRNAs.

Article Synopsis
- Hantaviridae is a family of RNA viruses that includes pathogens affecting humans and animals, and they contain a polymerase essential for their genome replication.
- The study focuses on the expression and purification of the polymerase from the Hantaan virus, utilizing Cryo-EM to explore its structure in detail, achieving resolutions between 2.7 to 3.3 Å.
- Important findings include the identification of new conformations of the polymerase and the observation of its interaction with RNA and nucleotides, which provide insights into its transcription and replication mechanism, paving the way for potential therapeutic developments.

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4 A (eIF4A) plays critical roles during translation initiation of cellular mRNAs by forming the cap-binding eIF4F complex, recruiting the 40S small ribosome subunit, and scanning the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) for the start codon. eIF4A1 and eIF4A2, two isoforms of eIF4A, are highly conserved and exchange freely within eIF4F complexes. The understanding of their biological and molecular functions remains incomplete if not fragmentary.

In eukaryotes, RNAs transcribed by RNA Pol II are modified at the 5' end with a 7-methylguanosine (mG) cap, which is recognized by the nuclear cap binding complex (CBC). The CBC plays multiple important roles in mRNA metabolism, including transcription, splicing, polyadenylation, and export. It promotes mRNA export through direct interaction with a key mRNA export factor, ALYREF, which in turn links the TRanscription and EXport (TREX) complex to the 5' end of mRNA.
