DUAL AGONISTIC AND ANTAGONISTIC ROLES OF ZC3H18 PROVIDE FOR CO-ACTIVATION OF DISTINCT NUCLEAR RNA DECAY PATHWAYS

Dual agonistic and antagonistic roles of ZC3H18 provide for co-activation of distinct nuclear RNA decay pathways

Summary: The RNA exosome is a versatile ribonuclease.In the nucleoplasm of mammalian cells, it is assisted by its adaptors the nuclear exosome targeting (NEXT) complex and the poly(A) exosome targeting Dugouts (PAXT) connection.Via its association with the ARS2 and ZC3H18 proteins, NEXT/exosome is recruited to capped and short unadenylated transcri

Gugulipid causes hypercholesterolemia leading to endothelial dysfunction, increased atherosclerosis, and premature death by ischemic heart disease in male mice.

For proper cholesterol metabolism, normal expression and function of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, is required.Among the factors that regulate overall cholesterol homeostasis and HDL metabolism, the nuclear farnesoid X receptor plays an important role.Guggulsterone, a bioactive compound presen
