Transposable elements (TEs) are widespread genetic parasites known to be kept under tight transcriptional control. Here, we describe a functional connection between the mouse-orthologous "nuclear exosome targeting" (NEXT) and "human silencing hub" (HUSH) complexes, involved in nuclear RNA decay epigenetic of TEs, respectively. Knocking out NEXT component ZCCHC8 embryonic stem cells results elevated TE levels. We identify physical interaction MPP8 protein HUSH establish that recruits...

Abstract Regulation of messenger RNA stability is pivotal for programmed gene expression in bacteria and achieved by a myriad molecular mechanisms. By bulk sequencing 5′ monophosphorylated mRNA decay intermediates (5′P), we show that cotranslational degradation conserved among both Gram-positive -negative bacteria. We demonstrate that, species with 5′–3′ exonucleases, the exoribonuclease RNase J tracks trailing ribosome to produce an vivo single-nucleotide toeprint 5' position ribosome. In...

Pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) constitute an essential cellular niche sustained by epigenomic and transcriptional regulation. Any role of post-transcriptional processes remains less explored. Here, we identify a link between nuclear RNA levels, regulated the poly(A) exosome targeting (PAXT) connection, control polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Knockout PAXT component ZFC3H1 impairs mouse ESC differentiation. In addition to upregulation bona fide substrates, Zfc3h1−/− abnormally...

Stem and progenitor cells have the capacity to balance self-renewal differentiation. Hematopoietic myeloid progenitors replenish more than 25 billion terminally differentiated neutrophils every day under homeostatic conditions can increase this output in response stress or infection. At what point along spectrum of maturation do lose for become irreversibly committed differentiation? Using a system conditional development that be toggled between differentiation, we interrogate determinants...

Abstract The ribonucleolytic exosome complex is central for nuclear RNA degradation, primarily targeting non-coding RNAs. Still, the could have protein-coding (pc) gene-specific regulatory activities. By depleting an core component, or components of adaptor complexes, we identify ∼2900 transcription start sites (TSSs) from within pc genes that produce exosome-sensitive transcripts. At least 1000 these overlap with annotated mRNA TSSs and a considerable portion their transcripts share 3′ end....
