  2. ncbi Special issue: Novel RNA nucleotidyl transferases and gene regulation. Preface
    Chris J Norbury
    Biochim Biophys Acta 1779:205. 2008
  3. ncbi Structural basis for the activity of a cytoplasmic RNA terminal uridylyl transferase
    Luke A Yates
    Division of Structural Biology, Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK
    Nat Struct Mol Biol 19:782-7. 2012
    ..Overall, our structures provide a basis for understanding the activity of Cid1 and a mechanism of UTP selectivity conserved in its human orthologs, suggesting potential implications for anticancer drug design...
  4. ncbi Decapping is preceded by 3' uridylation in a novel pathway of bulk mRNA turnover
    Olivia S Rissland
    Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, UK
    Nat Struct Mol Biol 16:616-23. 2009
    ..As human cells contain Cid1 orthologs, uridylation may form the basis of a widespread, conserved mechanism of mRNA decay...
  5. ncbi The Cid1 poly(U) polymerase
    Olivia S Rissland
    Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, UK
    Biochim Biophys Acta 1779:286-94. 2008
    ..Here, we review the literature on Cid1, other PUPs and uridylation, a conserved and previously under-appreciated mechanism of RNA regulation...
  6. ncbi Polyadenylation and beyond: emerging roles for noncanonical poly(A) polymerases
    Marie Joëlle Schmidt
    Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, UK
    Wiley Interdiscip Rev RNA 1:142-51. 2010

    Olivia S Rissland
    Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3RE, United Kingdom
    Mol Cell Biol 27:3612-24. 2007
    ..Finally, Hs2 (ZCCHC6), a human ortholog of Cid1, shows similar activity. These data suggest that uridylation of mRNA forms the basis of an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of gene regulation...
