Integrative Analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans Genome by the modENCODE Project

…, WJ Kent, E Kephart, V Khivansara, E Khurana, JK Kim… - Science, 2010 - science.org
We systematically generated large-scale data sets to improve genome annotation for the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a key model organism. These data sets include …

Functional Genomic Analysis of RNA Interference in C. elegans

JK Kim, HW Gabel, RS Kamath, M Tewari… - Science, 2005 - science.org
RNA interference (RNAi) of target genes is triggered by double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs)
processed by conserved nucleases and accessory factors. To identify the genetic components …

The Landscape of C. elegans 3′UTRs

…, V Khivansara, O Attie, K Chen, K Salehi-Ashtiani… - Science, 2010 - science.org
Three-prime untranslated regions (3′UTRs) of metazoan messenger RNAs (mRNAs) contain
numerous regulatory elements, yet remain largely uncharacterized. Using polyA capture, 3…

MORC family ATPases required for heterochromatin condensation and gene silencing

…, AR Frand, M Pellegrini, J Dekker, JK Kim… - Science, 2012 - science.org
Transposable elements (TEs) and DNA repeats are commonly targeted by DNA and histone
methylation to achieve epigenetic gene silencing. We isolated mutations in two Arabidopsis …

Somatic misexpression of germline P granules and enhanced RNA interference in retinoblastoma pathway mutants

D Wang, S Kennedy, D Conte Jr, JK Kim, HW Gabel… - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
Caenorhabditis elegans homologues of the retinoblastoma (Rb) tumour suppressor complex
specify cell lineage during development 1 , 2 . Here we show that mutations in Rb pathway …

[HTML][HTML] The microRNA miR-1 regulates a MEF-2-dependent retrograde signal at neuromuscular junctions

…, M Soskis, GB Ruvkun, JM Kaplan, JK Kim - Cell, 2008 - cell.com
We show that miR-1, a conserved muscle-specific microRNA, regulates aspects of both pre-
and postsynaptic function at C. elegans neuromuscular junctions. miR-1 regulates the …

LARP1 functions as a molecular switch for mTORC1-mediated translation of an essential class of mRNAs

…, A Kamath, Y Yao, T Fukuda, T Suzuki, JK Kim, K Inoki - Elife, 2017 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.25237.001 The RNA binding protein, LARP1, has been proposed to function
downstream of mTORC1 to regulate the translation of 5’TOP mRNAs such as those encoding …

26G endo-siRNAs regulate spermatogenic and zygotic gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans

…, J Thierry-Mieg, JK Kim - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Endogenous small interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) regulate diverse gene expression
programs in eukaryotes by either binding and cleaving mRNA targets or mediating …

[PDF][PDF] Glycolytic enzymes coalesce in G bodies under hypoxic stress

…, JR Yates, AD Gitler, K Inoki, DJ Klionsky, JK Kim - Cell reports, 2017 - cell.com
Glycolysis is upregulated under conditions such as hypoxia and high energy demand to
promote cell proliferation, although the mechanism remains poorly understood. We find that …

[HTML][HTML] Endogenous RNAi pathways in C. elegans

AC Billi, SEJ Fischer, JK Kim - WormBook: The Online Review of C …, 2018 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In addition to several hundred microRNAs, C. elegans produces thousands of other small
RNAs targeting coding genes, pseudogenes, transposons, and other noncoding RNAs. Here …
