Regulation of maternal mRNAs in early developmentBrian M Farley
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA
Crit Rev Biochem Mol Biol 43:135-62. 2008..Where possible, insights from mechanistic studies are presented...
Insights into the structural basis of RNA recognition by STAR domain proteinsSean P Ryder
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, 364 Plantation Street, LRB 906, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA
Adv Exp Med Biol 693:37-53. 2010..This chapter reviews the relevant literature on STAR domain protein structure and provides insights into how these proteins discriminate between different RNA sequences...
Pumilio RNA recognition: the consequence of promiscuitySean P Ryder
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, 364 Plantation Street, LRB 906, Worcester, MA 01605, USA
Structure 19:277-9. 2011..The structures suggest an appealing model where nucleotides that do not contribute to binding affinity define Pumilio regulatory activity by adopting distinctive conformations with differential ability to recruit regulatory cofactors...
RNA target specificity of the embryonic cell fate determinant POS-1Brian M Farley
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts 01605, USA
RNA 14:2685-97. 2008..The results enable prediction of novel targets that explain the pleiotropy of the pos-1 phenotype...
RNA recognition by the embryonic cell fate determinant and germline totipotency factor MEX-3John M Pagano
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, 364 Plantation Street, LRB 906, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01605, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:20252-7. 2009..Based on this work, we identify several candidate MEX-3 targets that help explain its dual role in regulating germline stem cell totipotency and embryonic cell fate specification...
Structure and function of nematode RNA-binding proteinsEbru Kaymak
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01605, USA
Curr Opin Struct Biol 20:305-12. 2010..In this review, we highlight example structures and identify the variable regions that likely contribute to functional divergence in nematodes...
