Stable, intronic RNAs explain preservation of introns in Cyanidioschyzon merolae

Patrick Geertz, Viktor Slat, Alison Ziesel, Maryam Ghaffarzadeh, Breanne M. Hatfield, Hosna Jabbari, Ben Montpetit, Martha R. Stark, Stephen D. Rader

The paper identifies stable intronic RNAs (sieRNAs) in Cyanidioschizoon merolae that explain the preservation of introns by encoding functional non-coding RNAs involved in stress response and gene regulation.

Gle1 is required for tRNA to stimulate Dbp5 ATPase activity in vitro and to promote Dbp5 mediated tRNA export in vivo.

Arvind Arul Nambi Rajan, Ryuta Asada, Ben Montpetit

This study shows Dbp5 requires Gle1 to activate its ATPase activity for tRNA export and functions parallel to Los1 in tRNA transport.
