RNAi in budding yeast

IA Drinnenberg, DE Weinberg, KT Xie, JP Mower… - Science, 2009 - science.org
RNA interference (RNAi), a gene-silencing pathway triggered by double-stranded RNA, is
conserved in diverse eukaryotic species but has been lost in the model budding yeast …

[HTML][HTML] Improved ribosome-footprint and mRNA measurements provide insights into dynamics and regulation of yeast translation

DE Weinberg, P Shah, SW Eichhorn, JA Hussmann… - Cell reports, 2016 - Elsevier
Ribosome-footprint profiling provides genome-wide snapshots of translation, but technical
challenges can confound its analysis. Here, we use improved methods to obtain ribosome-…

Structure of yeast Argonaute with guide RNA

K Nakanishi, DE Weinberg, DP Bartel, DJ Patel - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
The RNA-induced silencing complex, comprising Argonaute and guide RNA, mediates RNA
interference. Here we report the 3.2 Å crystal structure of Kluyveromyces polysporus …

The helicase Ded1p controls use of near-cognate translation initiation codons in 5′ UTRs

UP Guenther, DE Weinberg, MM Zubradt, FA Tedeschi… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The conserved and essential DEAD-box RNA helicase Ded1p from yeast and its mammalian
orthologue DDX3 are critical for the initiation of translation 1 . Mutations in DDX3 are linked …

[HTML][HTML] Perinatal licensing of thermogenesis by IL-33 and ST2

…, Y Sogawa, AM Bertholet, RM Locksley, DE Weinberg… - Cell, 2016 - cell.com
For placental mammals, the transition from the in utero maternal environment to postnatal
life requires the activation of thermogenesis to maintain their core temperature. This is …

CAT-tailing as a fail-safe mechanism for efficient degradation of stalled nascent polypeptides

…, BA Osuna, JA Hussmann, A Frost, DE Weinberg… - Science, 2017 - science.org
Ribosome stalling leads to recruitment of the ribosome quality control complex (RQC),
which targets the partially synthesized polypeptide for proteasomal degradation through the …

The subcellular distribution of an RNA quality control protein, the Ro autoantigen, is regulated by noncoding Y RNA binding

S Sim, DE Weinberg, G Fuchs, K Choi… - Molecular biology of …, 2009 - Am Soc Cell Biol
The Ro autoantigen is a ring-shaped RNA-binding protein that binds misfolded RNAs in nuclei
and is proposed to function in quality control. In the cytoplasm, Ro binds noncoding RNAs…

[HTML][HTML] The inside-out mechanism of Dicers from budding yeasts

DE Weinberg, K Nakanishi, DJ Patel, DP Bartel - Cell, 2011 - cell.com
The Dicer ribonuclease III (RNase III) enzymes process long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)
into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that direct RNA interference. Here, we describe the …

In vitro analysis of RQC activities provides insights into the mechanism and function of CAT tailing

BA Osuna, CJ Howard, S Kc, A Frost, DE Weinberg - Elife, 2017 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.27949.001 Ribosomes can stall during translation due to defects in the mRNA
template or translation machinery, leading to the production of incomplete proteins. The …

Candida albicans Dicer (CaDcr1) is required for efficient ribosomal and spliceosomal RNA maturation

DA Bernstein, VK Vyas, DE Weinberg… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
The generation of mature functional RNAs from nascent transcripts requires the precise and
coordinated action of numerous RNAs and proteins. One such protein family, the …
