A genetic screen for terminator function in yeast identifies a role for a new functional domain in termination factor Nab3

TJ Loya, TW O'Rourke, D Reines - Nucleic acids research, 2012 - academic.oup.com
The yeast IMD2 gene encodes an enzyme involved in GTP synthesis. Its expression is
controlled by guanine nucleotides through a set of alternate start sites and an intervening …

[HTML][HTML] A network of interdependent molecular interactions describes a higher order Nrd1-Nab3 complex involved in yeast transcription termination

TJ Loya, TW O'Rourke, N Degtyareva… - Journal of Biological …, 2013 - ASBMB
Nab3 and Nrd1 are yeast heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP)-like proteins
that heterodimerize and bind RNA. Genetic and biochemical evidence reveals that they are …

[HTML][HTML] Recent advances in understanding transcription termination by RNA polymerase II

TJ Loya, D Reines - F1000Research, 2016 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Transcription termination is a fundamental process in which RNA polymerase ceases RNA
chain extension and dissociates from the chromatin template, thereby defining the end of the …

[HTML][HTML] Yeast Nab3 protein contains a self-assembly domain found in human heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein-C (hnRNP-C) that is necessary for …

TJ Loya, TW O'Rourke, D Reines - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 - ASBMB
Nab3 is an RNA-binding protein whose function is important for terminating transcription by
RNA polymerase II. It co-assembles with Nrd1, and the resulting heterodimer of these …

Amyloid-like assembly of the low complexity domain of yeast Nab3

TW O'Rourke, TJ Loya, PSE Head, JR Horton… - Prion, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Termination of transcription of short non-coding RNAs is carried out in yeast by the Nab3-Nrd1-Sen1
complex. Nab3 and Nrd1 are hnRNP-like proteins that dimerize and bind RNA with …

[HTML][HTML] The hnRNP-like Nab3 termination factor can employ heterologous prion-like domains in place of its own essential low complexity domain

TJ Loya, TW O'Rourke, D Reines - PLoS One, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Many RNA-binding proteins possess domains with a biased amino acid content. A common
property of these low complexity domains (LCDs) is that they assemble into an ordered …

[HTML][HTML] Nab3's localization to a nuclear granule in response to nutrient deprivation is determined by its essential prion-like domain

TJ Loya, TW O'Rourke, WC Simke, JB Kelley… - PLoS …, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules are higher order assemblies of RNA, RNA-binding proteins,
and other proteins, that regulate the transcriptome and protect RNAs from environmental …

Imaging and tracking mRNA in live mammalian cells via fluorogenic photoaffinity labeling

TM Ayele, T Loya, AN Valdez-Sinon, GJ Bassell… - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Cellular RNA labeling using light-up aptamers that bind to and activate fluorogenic molecules
has gained interest in recent years as an alternative to protein-based RNA labeling …

[PDF][PDF] RNA polymerase II [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

TJ Loya, D Reines - 2016 - pdfs.semanticscholar.org
Transcription termination is a fundamental process in which RNA polymerase ceases RNA
chain extension and dissociates from the chromatin template, thereby defining the end of the …

Investigating the structure and function of a prion-like domain in the Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1 transcription termination system

T Loya - 2019 - etd.library.emory.edu
From a single genome, yeast must adapt their transcriptional profile to respond to or initiate
changes in the cell. A key step in this process is transcriptional termination, which in yeast is …
