Tien-Hsien Chang’s laboratory has recently published a highly significant paper in the January issue of Molecular Cell, one of the pre-eminent journals in molecular life sciences. Chen, J. Y.-F., Stands, L., Staley, J. P., Jackups, Jr., R. R., Latus, L. J., and Chang, T.-H. (2001). Specific alterations of U1-C protein or U1 small nuclear RNA can eliminate the requirement of Prp28p, an essential DEAD-box splicing factor. Mol. Cell. 7, 227-232. This paper was immediately highlighted by two review articles, first in Nature Structural Biology (February issue) and then in Science (March 9 issue, just appeared online), two other leading scientific journals: Schwer, B. (2001) A new twist on RNA helicases: DExH/D box proteins as RNPases. Nature Struct. Biol. 8, 113-116. Will, C. L. and Luhrmann, R. (2001) RNP Remodeling With DExH/D Boxes. Science 291, 1916-1917. (Perspective in Molecular Biology). |
