Extensive 5'-Surveillance Guards Against Non-Canonical NAD-Caps of Nuclear mRNAs in Yeast

The paper identifies NAD-RNAs in yeast, showing they are abundant, short, and guarded by decapping enzymes, with in vitro evidence of translational rejection.

The 5’-NAD cap of RNAIII modulates toxin production in Staphylococcus aureus isolates

This study shows that the 5’-NAD cap of RNAIII in Staphylococcus aureus modulates toxin production and virulence by affecting toxin expression without altering RNA structure.
