Programmed Delayed Splicing: A Mechanism for Timed Inflammatory Gene Expression

Jacob S. Dearborn, Luke S. Frankiw, Damas W. Limoge, Christian Shizuo Burns, Logan Vlach, Patricia Turpin, Tylar Kirch, Zachary D. Miller, William Dowell, Sylvester Languon, Yvette Garcia-Flores, Robert C. Cockrell, David Baltimore, Devdoot S. Majumdar

The paper identifies delayed splicing as a mechanism for timed inflammatory gene expression, showing that introns with suboptimal splice donor sites can delay mRNA production and limit expression amplitude.

PABPC1 Modulates Immunoglobulin pre-mRNA Alternative Polyadenylation

Zachary D. Miller, Jacob Dearborn, Ramiro Barrantes-Reynolds, Hana Paculová, Drew D. Honson, Jihui Sha, Weixian Deng, Tylar Kirch, William Dowell, Sylvester Languon, Kalev Freeman, Seth E. Frietze, James Wohlschlegel, Devdoot S. Majumdar

The paper investigates PABPC1's role in alternative polyadenylation during B cell development, finding it primarily shortens and downregulates its targets in a context-dependent manner.

Proximity proteomics reveals a role for IFI16 during human coronavirus infection

Sylvester Languon, Ian T. Bailey, Madeleine Sorensen, Zachary D. Miller, Jihui Sha, Jacob Dearborn, William Dowell, Tylar Kirch, James Wohlschlegel, Devdoot S. Majumdar

The paper identifies IFI16 as a host protein interacting with SARS-CoV-2 NSP8/NSP10, showing that IFI16 promotes coronavirus infection independently of its role in type I IFN regulation.
