Identification of a signature motif in target mRNAs of RNA-binding protein AUF1 (2009)

Mazan-Mamczarz, Krystyna, Kuwano, Yuki, Zhan, Ming, White, Elizabeth J., Martindale, Jennifer L., Lal, Ashish, ...

The ubiquitous RNA-binding protein AUF1 promotes the degradation of some target mRNAs, but increases the stability and translation of other targets. Here, we isolated AUF1-associated mRNAs by...

HuR recruits let-7/RISC to repress c-Myc expression (2009)

Kim, Hyeon Ho, Kuwano, Yuki, Srikantan, Subramanya, Lee, Eun Kyung, Martindale, Jennifer L., Gorospe, Myriam

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are potent post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Here, we show that the RBP HuR reduced c-Myc expression by associating with the c-Myc...

Elucidation of a C-Rich Signature Motif in Target mRNAs of RNA-Binding Protein TIAR▿ †

Kim, Henry S., Kuwano, Yuki, Zhan, Ming, Pullmann, Rudolf, Mazan-Mamczarz, Krystyna, Li, Huai, ...

The RNA-binding protein TIAR (related to TIA-1 [T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen 1]) was shown to associate with subsets of mRNAs bearing U-rich sequences in their 3′ untranslated regions....

RNA-Binding Proteins HuR and PTB Promote the Translation of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1α▿ †

Galbán, Stefanie, Kuwano, Yuki, Pullmann, Rudolf, Martindale, Jennifer L., Kim, Hyeon Ho, Lal, Ashish, ...

The levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) are tightly controlled. Here, we investigated the posttranscriptional regulation of HIF-1α expression in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells...

MKP-1 mRNA Stabilization and Translational Control by RNA-Binding Proteins HuR and NF90▿ †

Kuwano, Yuki, Kim, Hyeon Ho, Abdelmohsen, Kotb, Pullmann, Rudolf, Martindale, Jennifer L., Yang, Xiaoling, ...

The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphatase 1 (MKP-1) plays a major role in dephosphorylating and thereby inactivating the MAP kinases extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun...

miR-519 reduces cell proliferation by lowering RNA-binding protein HuR levels

Abdelmohsen, Kotb, Srikantan, Subramanya, Kuwano, Yuki, Gorospe, Myriam

Gene expression is potently regulated through the action of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). Here, we present evidence of a miRNA regulating an RBP. The RBP HuR can stabilize and...

Analysis of Nitric Oxide-Stabilized mRNAs in Human Fibroblasts Reveals HuR-Dependent Heme Oxygenase 1 Upregulation▿ †

Kuwano, Yuki, Rabinovic, Ariel, Srikantan, Subramanya, Gorospe, Myriam, Demple, Bruce

We previously observed that nitric oxide (NO) exposure increases the stability of mRNAs encoding heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and TIEG-1 in human and mouse fibroblasts. Here, we have used microarrays to...
