Tissue-specific consequences of impaired RNA surveillance converge on mitochondrial homeostasis

Lauryn Higginson, Xingjun Wang, Derrick Jerone Morton

This study shows that impaired RNA surveillance has tissue-specific effects, with mitochondrial dysfunction being a shared consequence in Drosophila.

The RNA exosome maintains cellular RNA homeostasis by controlling transcript abundance in the brain

Lauryn A. Higginson, Xingjun Wang, Kevin He, Maggie Torstrick, Minhoo Kim, H. R. Sagara Wijeratne, Avery M. Runnebohm, Bérénice Anath Benayoun, Adam L. MacLean, Guillaume Chanfreau, Derrick J. Morton

This study uses a Drosophila model to show that RNA exosome mutations disrupt brain transcriptomes and cause neurodegeneration by altering rRNA processing.
