Tethered Function Assays as Tools to Elucidate the Molecular Roles of RNA-Binding Proteins.
Advances in experimental medicine and biology · 2016 · 907: 61-88
Dynamic regulation of RNA molecules is critical to the survival and development of cells. Messenger RNAs are transcribed in the nucleus as intron-containing pre-mRNAs and bound by RNA-binding proteins, which control their fate by regulating RNA stability, splicing, polyadenylation, translation, …

RNA-binding protein CPEB1 remodels host and viral RNA landscapes.
Nature structural & molecular biology · 2016 · 23(12): 1101-1110
Host and virus interactions occurring at the post-transcriptional level are critical for infection but remain poorly understood. Here, we performed comprehensive transcriptome-wide analyses revealing that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection results in widespread alternative splicing (AS), shortening of 3' untranslated regions …

The Calcineurin Variant CnAβ1 Controls Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation by Directing mTORC2 Membrane Localization and Activation.
Cell chemical biology · 2016 · 23(11): 1372-1382
Embryonic stem cells (ESC) have the potential to generate all the cell lineages that form the body. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying ESC differentiation and especially the role of alternative splicing in this process remain poorly understood. Here, we show …

Applications of Cas9 as an RNA-programmed RNA-binding protein.
BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology · 2015 · 37(7): 732-9
The Streptococcus pyogenes CRISPR-Cas system has gained widespread application as a genome editing and gene regulation tool as simultaneous cellular delivery of the Cas9 protein and guide RNAs enables recognition of specific DNA sequences. The recent discovery that Cas9 can …

Differential L1 regulation in pluripotent stem cells of humans and apes.
Nature · 2013 · 503(7477): 525-529
Identifying cellular and molecular differences between human and non-human primates (NHPs) is essential to the basic understanding of the evolution and diversity of our own species. Until now, preserved tissues have been the main source for most comparative studies between …

Integrative genome-wide analysis reveals cooperative regulation of alternative splicing by hnRNP proteins.
Cell reports · 2012 · 1(2): 167-78
Understanding how RNA binding proteins control the splicing code is fundamental to human biology and disease. Here, we present a comprehensive study to elucidate how heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoparticle (hnRNP) proteins, among the most abundant RNA binding proteins, coordinate to regulate …

RNA-seq analysis of gene expression and alternative splicing by double-random priming strategy.
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) · 2011 · 729: 247-55
Transcriptome analysis by deep sequencing, more commonly known as RNA-seq is, becoming the method of choice for gene discovery and quantitative splicing detection. We published a double-random priming RNA-seq approach capable of generating strand-specific information [Li et al., Proc Natl …

LIN-28 co-transcriptionally binds primary let-7 to regulate miRNA maturation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Nature structural & molecular biology · 2011 · 18(3): 302-8
The highly conserved let-7 microRNA (miRNA) regulates developmental pathways across animal phyla. Mis-expression of let-7 causes lethality in C. elegans and has been associated with several human diseases. We show that timing of let-7 expression in developing worms is under …

Alternative splicing in stem cell self-renewal and diferentiation.
Advances in experimental medicine and biology · 2010 · 695: 92-104
This chapter provides a review of recent advances in understanding the importance of alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing in stem cell biology. The majority of transcribed pre-mRNAs undergo RNA splicing where introns are excised and exons are juxtaposed to form mature …

An RNA code for the FOX2 splicing regulator revealed by mapping RNA-protein interactions in stem cells.
Nature structural & molecular biology · 2009 · 16(2): 130-7
The elucidation of a code for regulated splicing has been a long-standing goal in understanding the control of post-transcriptional gene expression events that are crucial for cell survival, differentiation and development. We decoded functional RNA elements in vivo by constructing …

Multiple layers of molecular controls modulate self-renewal and neuronal lineage specification of embryonic stem cells.
Human molecular genetics · 2008 · 17(R1): R67-75
Elucidating the molecular changes that arise during neural differentiation and fate specification is crucial for building accurate in vitro models of neurodegenerative diseases using human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Here we review the importance of hESCs and derived progenitors in …
