FAM46C is one of the most frequently mutated genes in multiple myeloma. Here, using a combination vitro and vivo approaches, we demonstrate that encodes an active non-canonical poly(A) polymerase which enhances mRNA stability gene expression. Reintroduction into myeloma cell lines, but not its catalytically-inactive mutant, leads to broad polyadenylation stabilization mRNAs strongly enriched with those encoding endoplasmic reticulum-targeted proteins induces death. Moreover, silencing cells...

Among numerous enzymes involved in RNA decay, processive exoribonucleases are the most prominent group responsible for degradation of entire molecules. The role mammalian cytoplasmic 3'-5' exonuclease DIS3L at organismal level remained unknown. Herein, we established knock-in and knock-out mouse models to study functions mice. mice is indeed a subunit exosome complex, disruption which leads severe embryo degeneration death soon after implantation. These changes could not be prevented by...

Abstract Gametogenesis is a process in which dysfunctions lead to infertility, growing health and social problem worldwide. In both spermatogenesis oogenesis, post-transcriptional gene expression regulation crucial. Essentially, all mRNAs possess non-templated poly(A) tails, whose composition dynamics (elongation, shortening, modifications) determine the fate of mRNA. Moreover, gametogenesis, especially represents unique instance complexity tails metabolism, with oocyte-specific waves...

Abstract Despite the widespread use of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19, little is known about metabolism therapeutic RNAs. Here we nanopore sequencing 1–3 to analyse individual molecules, focusing on their poly(A) tails. We show that Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine 4 has a tail around 100 nucleotides, followed by an mΨCmΨAG sequence. In cell lines, undergoes rapid degradation initiated removal, CCR4–NOT-mediated deadenylation. However, in medically relevant preclinical models, particularly...

Summary Role of dominant DIS3 mutations in multiple myeloma (MM) remains elusive. These decrease the exoribonucleolytic activity DIS3, a key nuclear RNA-degrading enzyme. Utilizing knock-in mice with clinical Dis3 G766R variant, we demonstrate an increased frequency aberrant chromosomal translocations B-cells, leading to plasmacytoma, early-stage MM model. DIS3-dependent display characteristics activation-induced deaminase (AID) activity. In samples mutations, driver genes also show...

Abstract Osteoblasts orchestrate bone formation by secreting dense, highly cross-linked type I collagen and other proteins involved in osteogenesis. Mutations Col1α1, Col1α2, or biogenesis factors lead to the human genetic disease, osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Herein, we show that TENT5A gene, whose mutation is responsible for poorly characterized XVIII OI, encodes an active cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase regulating induced during osteoblast differentiation KO osteoblasts are defective...

We applied radio-telemetry on 21 individuals (10 females and 11 males) to provide data the temporal activity patterns of whiskered bat (Myotis mystacinus) in Carpathian Mountains (southern Poland). tested whether sex, season weather conditions affect their July-September. On average, bats left day roosts 18.9 minutes after sunset returned 198.1 before sunrise. The mean length was 330 (SE±25) per night. Bats were active mainly (85%) during whole night; they rarely (15% nights) interrupted...

Abstract There is increasing evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but the causal relationships are unclear. In an ASD patient whose identical twin was unaffected, we identified a postzygotic mosaic mutation p.Q639* TRAP1 gene, which encodes chaperone HSP90 family. Additional screening 176 unrelated probands revealed variant male who had inherited it from healthy mother. Notably, newly generated knock-in Trap1 p.Q641* mice display ASD-related behavioral...

Abstract DIS3 encodes an essential ribonucleic subunit of the nuclear exosome complex, responsible for degrading RNA in nucleus. Somatic mutations drive translocations B cells, leading to multiple myeloma (MM). Clinical data analysis reveals that 42% occur at three recurrent residues (D479, D488, and R780). These mutations, deactivating exonucleolytic activity, are never homozygous, often appearing as minor subclones advanced MM. Surprisingly, mutant alleles undergo loss-of-heterozygosity,...
