[PDF][PDF] The RNA binding protein quaking regulates formation of circRNAs

SJ Conn, KA Pillman, J Toubia, VM Conn… - Cell, 2015 - cell.com
Circular RNAs (circRNAs), formed by non-sequential back-splicing of pre-mRNA transcripts,
are a widespread form of non-coding RNA in animal cells. However, it is unclear whether …

[HTML][HTML] Dichotomy in the NRT Gene Families of Dicots and Grass Species

D Plett, J Toubia, T Garnett, M Tester, BN Kaiser… - PloS one, 2010 - journals.plos.org
A large proportion of the nitrate (NO 3 − ) acquired by plants from soil is actively transported
via members of the NRT families of NO 3 − transporters. In Arabidopsis, the NRT1 family has …

HvZIP7 mediates zinc accumulation in barley (Hordeum vulgare) at moderately high zinc supply

…, Y Genc, P Pedas, JE Hayes, J Toubia… - New …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
High expression of zinc ( Z n)‐regulated, iron‐regulated transporter‐like protein ( ZIP ) genes
increases root Z n uptake in dicots, leading to high accumulation of Z n in shoots. However, …

[HTML][HTML] Genomic autopsy to identify underlying causes of pregnancy loss and perinatal death

…, DM Lawrence, L Eshraghi, L Arriola, J Toubia… - Nature Medicine, 2023 - nature.com
Pregnancy loss and perinatal death are devastating events for families. We assessed ‘genomic
autopsy’ as an adjunct to standard autopsy for 200 families who had experienced fetal or …

[HTML][HTML] Combinatorial targeting by microRNAs co-ordinates post-transcriptional control of EMT

…, PA Gregory, M Foroutan, S Hediyeh-Zadeh, J Toubia… - Cell systems, 2018 - cell.com
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression,
functioning in part by facilitating the degradation of target mRNAs. They have an established role …

miR‐200/375 control epithelial plasticity‐associated alternative splicing by repressing the RNA‐binding protein Quaking

KA Pillman, CA Phillips, S Roslan, J Toubia… - The EMBO …, 2018 - embopress.org
Members of the miR‐200 family are critical gatekeepers of the epithelial state, restraining
expression of pro‐mesenchymal genes that drive epithelial–mesenchymal transition ( EMT ) …

Targeting sphingosine kinase 1 induces MCL1-dependent cell death in acute myeloid leukemia

JA Powell, AC Lewis, W Zhu, J Toubia… - Blood, The Journal …, 2017 - ashpublications.org
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive malignancy where despite improvements in
conventional chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation, overall survival remains poor…

A Prox1 enhancer represses haematopoiesis in the lymphatic vasculature

J Kazenwadel, P Venugopal, A Oszmiana, J Toubia… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Transcriptional enhancer elements are responsible for orchestrating the temporal and
spatial control over gene expression that is crucial for programming cell identity during …

Naturally existing isoforms of miR-222 have distinct functions

F Yu, KA Pillman, CT Neilsen, J Toubia… - Nucleic acids …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
