Abstract
In nature, the majority of known RNA-protein interactions are transient. Our recent study has depicted a novel mechanism known as RNAylation, which covalently links proteins and RNAs. This novel modification bridges the realms of RNA and protein modifications. This review specifically explores RNAylation catalyzed by bacteriophage T4 ADP-ribosyltransferase ModB, with a focus on its protein targets and RNA substrates in the context of Escherichia coli-bacteriophage T4 interaction. Additionally, we discuss the biological significance of RNAylation and present perspectives on RNAylation as a versatile bioconjugation strategy for RNAs and proteins.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Cell Research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cellular processes at the molecular level. These include aspects of cellular signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking, secretory and endocytic pathways, biogenesis of cell organelles, cytoskeletal structures, cellular interactions, cell/tissue differentiation and cellular enzymology. Also included are studies at the interface between Cell Biology and Biophysics which apply for example novel imaging methods for characterizing cellular processes.
