Lysine acetylation facilitates competitive recruitment of translation termination factor eRF3a by PABPC1 C-terminal domain

Etienne Dubiez, Yiu To Yeung, Tajekesa K.P. Blee…·Matthew Brook

This study shows that acetylation of PABPC1 at K606 enhances its affinity for eRF3a, promoting competitive recruitment and modulating mRNA fate.

Mammalian Pabpc4 is non-essential for development, but has roles in growth, post-natal survival and haematopoiesis

Matthew Brook, Mathias Lorbeer, Jessica P. Scanlon…·Nicola K. Gray

This paper shows that Pabpc4 is not essential for development but is important for post-natal growth, survival, and hematopoiesis in mice, with effects on red blood cell morphology.

DAZL regulates mRNA deadenylation independently of translation in germ cells

Richard W. Smith, Barbara Gorgoni, Zoe C Johnston…·Nicola K. Gray

This study shows DAZL regulates mRNA poly(A) tail length independently of translation in germ cells, revealing two distinct roles for the DAZL-PABP complex in mRNA stabilization.
