DNA double-strand break (DSB) induction leads to local transcriptional silencing at damage sites, raising the question: Why are RNA processing factors (RPFs), including splicing factors, rapidly recruited to these sites? Recent findings show that DSBs cluster in a chromatin compartment termed the 'D compartment', where DNA damage response (DDR) genes relocate and undergo transcriptional activation. Here, we propose two non-mutually exclusive models to elucidate the rationale behind the recruitment of RPFs to DSB sites. First, RPFs circulate through the D compartment to process transcripts of the relocated DDR genes. Second, the D compartment serves as a 'post-translational modifications (PTMs) hub', altering RPF activity and leading to the production of unique DNA damage-induced transcripts, which are essential for orchestrating the DDR.

Sponge exhalent metabolites influence coral reef picoplankton dynamics.

Coral reef sponges efficiently take up particulate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the water column and release compounds such as nucleosides, amino acids, and other dissolved metabolites to the surrounding reef via their exhalent seawater, but the influence of this process on reef picoplankton and nutrient processing is relatively unexplored. Here we examined the impact of sponge exhalent on the reef picoplankon community and subsequent alterations to the reef dissolved metabolite pool. We exposed reef picoplankton communities to a sponge exhalent water mixture (Niphates digitalis and Xestospongia muta) or filtered reef seawater (control) in closed, container-based dark incubations.

Alternative splicing (AS) contributes to transcript and protein diversity, affecting their structure and function. However, the specific transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying AS in the context of hepatic ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury in mice have not been extensively characterized. In this study, we investigated differentially alternatively spliced (DAS) genes and differentially expressed transcripts (DETs) in a mouse model of hepatic IR injury using the high throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis and replicate multivariate analysis of transcript splicing (rMATS) analysis.

Background: Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the locations of PTM-modified sites across protein secondary structures and regulatory patterns in HCC remain largely uncharacterized.
Methods: Total proteome and nine PTMs (phosphorylation, acetylation, crotonylation, ubiquitination, lactylation, N-glycosylation, succinylation, malonylation, and β-hydroxybutyrylation) in tumor sections and paired normal adjacent tissues derived from 18 HCC patients were systematically profiled by 4D-Label free proteomics analysis combined with PTM-based peptide enrichment.

Background: Aberrant alternative splicing (AS) contributes to tumor progression. A crucial component of AS is cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 4 (CPSF4). It remains unclear whether CPSF4 plays a role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression through AS regulation.

RNA modifications are widespread throughout the mammalian transcriptome and play pivotal roles in regulating various cellular processes. These modifications are strongly linked to the development of many cancers. One of the most prevalent forms of RNA modifications in humans is adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing, catalyzed by the enzyme adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).
