Background: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play crucial roles in many biological processes, and computationally identifying RNA-RBP interactions provides insights into the biological mechanism of diseases associated with RBPs.
Results: To make the RBP-specific deep learning-based RBP binding sites prediction methods easily accessible, we developed an updated easy-to-use webserver, RBPsuite 2.0, with an updated web interface for predicting RBP binding sites from linear and circular RNA sequences. RBPsuite 2.0 has a higher coverage on the number of supported RBPs and species compared to the original RBPsuite, supporting an increased number of RBPs from 154 to 353 and expanding the supported species from one to seven. Additionally, RBPsuite 2.0 replaces the CRIP built into RBPsuite 1.0 with iDeepC, a more accurate RBP binding site predictor for circular RNAs. Furthermore, RBPsuite 2.0 estimates the contribution score of individual nucleotides on the input sequences as potential binding motifs and links to the UCSC browser track for better visualization of the prediction results.
Conclusions: RBPsuite 2.0 is an updated, more comprehensive webserver for predicting RBP binding sites in both linear and circular RNA sequences. It supports more RBPs and species and provides more accurate predictions for circular RNAs. The tool is freely available at http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/RBPsuite/ .

Herein, we fabricate the graphene oxide-supported nanofilms coated by roughened nanoboxes (GO@AuAgRNB) for the ultrasensitive and simultaneous determination of multiple stroke subtype-specific biomarkers. Initially, Au-Ag roughened nanobox (AuAgRNB) with abundant coupling and tip hotspots is prepared by the partial surface passivation strategy. AuAgRNB is uniformly, densely and firmly assembled onto graphene oxide (GO) by metal-sulfur bonds, generating extensive high-density hotspots.

Background: Tumor metastasis is one of the main causes of death in cancer patients; however, the mechanism controlling metastasis is unclear. The posttranscriptional regulation of metastasis-related genes mediated by AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 4A (Arid4a), an RNA-binding protein (RBP), has not been elucidated.
Methods: Bioinformatic analysis, qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and immunoblotting were employed to determine the expression of Arid4a in breast tumor tissues and its association with the survival of cancer patients.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is marked by cytoplasmic proteinopathies, primarily involving misfolded Tau protein. Pathogenic Tau species, such as soluble oligomers and fibrils, disrupt RNA metabolism, though the mechanisms are unclear. Recent research indicates that RNA has a crucial role in Tau aggregation.

Background: circHIPK3 role in cancer as oncogene or tumor suppressor is still debated, therefore, this study aimed to understand the dual role of this circRNA in different cancers. Furthermore, all available evidence of circHIPK3 interactions with sponged-miRNA and RBPs in oncological diseases were systematically gathered to better understand the its functional role in cancer.
Methods: PubMed, BioMedCentral, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus databases were searched for articles published until October 2024, following the PRISMA guideline.
