Structural basis of RNA-induced autoregulation of the DExH-type RNA helicase maleless

This study reveals how the dsRBD2 domain of the DExH-type helicase maleless orchestrates RNA unwinding through structural transitions, independent of ATP.

Upstream of N-Ras C-terminal cold shock domains mediate poly(A) specificity in a novel RNA recognition mode and bind poly(A) binding protein during translation regulation

The paper shows how multiple RNA binding domains in Unr mediate poly(A) specificity and interact with poly(A) binding protein during translation regulation.

Structure and dynamics of the quaternary hunchback mRNA translation repression complex

The paper characterizes the quaternary hunchback mRNA repression complex formed by Brat, Pum, and Nanos, revealing its flexibility and independent binding of RNA components.
