Bruno 1/CELF regulates splicing and cytoskeleton dynamics to ensure correct sarcomere assembly Drosophila flight muscles

The CELF family of RNA binding proteins are important regulators of RNA processing during myogenesis. This study shows that the Drosophila homolog Bruno1 promotes a transition to mature spliceD isoforms, which is necessary for myofibrillogenesis and balanced growth in sarcomere length and width in flight muscles.

ADAR-mediated regulation of PQM-1 expression in neurons impacts gene expression throughout C. elegans and regulates survival from hypoxia

An animal’s capacity to thrive hinges on the nervous system translating environmental information into physiological responses. This study identifies a post-transcriptional mechanism whereby ADAR RNA binding proteins regulate the key transcriptional effector PQM-1 in the C. elegans nervous system to promote survival in low oxygen.
