Roschdi S, Montemayor E, Vivek R, Bingman C, Butcher S
Nucleic Acids Res . 2024 Oct; 52(20):12582-12591. PMID: 39373474
Poly(UG) or 'pUG' dinucleotide repeats are highly abundant sequences in eukaryotic RNAs. In Caenorhabditis elegans, pUGs are added to RNA 3' ends to direct gene silencing within Mutator foci, a...

Sanchez J, Montemayor E, Ploscariu N, Parrell D, Baumgardt J, Yang J, et al.
bioRxiv . 2023 Jul; PMID: 37503001
Flagella are dynamic, ion-powered machines with assembly pathways that are optimized for efficient flagella production. In bacteria, dozens of genes are coordinated at specific times in the cell lifecycle to...

Fu X, Kaur H, Rodgers M, Montemayor E, Butcher S, Hoskins A
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Nov; 119(48):e2206815119. PMID: 36417433
Spliceosome activation is the process of creating the catalytic site for RNA splicing and occurs de novo on each intron following spliceosome assembly. Dozens of factors bind to or are...

Roschdi S, Yan J, Nomura Y, Escobar C, Petersen R, Bingman C, et al.
Nat Struct Mol Biol . 2022 Nov; 29(11):1113-1121. PMID: 36352138
The addition of poly(UG) ('pUG') repeats to 3' termini of mRNAs drives gene silencing and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in the metazoan Caenorhabditis elegans. pUG tails promote silencing by recruiting an...

Montemayor E, Ploscariu N, Sanchez J, Parrell D, Dillard R, Shebelut C, et al.
J Bacteriol . 2020 Dec; 203(5). PMID: 33288623
is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium that commonly lives in oligotrophic fresh- and saltwater environments. is a host to many bacteriophages, including ϕCbK and ϕCbK-like bacteriophages, which require interaction with the bacterial...

Montemayor E, Virta J, Hayes S, Nomura Y, Brow D, Butcher S
RNA . 2020 Jun; 26(10):1400-1413. PMID: 32518066
Eukaryotes possess eight highly conserved Lsm (like Sm) proteins that assemble into circular, heteroheptameric complexes, bind RNA, and direct a diverse range of biological processes. Among the many essential functions...

Nomura Y, Montemayor E, Virta J, Hayes S, Butcher S
Nucleic Acids Res . 2019 Dec; 48(3):1423-1434. PMID: 31832688
U6 snRNA undergoes post-transcriptional 3' end modification prior to incorporation into the active site of spliceosomes. The responsible exoribonuclease is Usb1, which removes nucleotides from the 3' end of U6...

Montemayor E, Virta J, Hagler L, Zimmerman S, Butcher S
Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun . 2019 Oct; 75(Pt 10):652-656. PMID: 31584014
The structure of a 22-base-pair RNA helix with mismatched pyrimidine base pairs is reported. The helix contains two symmetry-related CUG sequences: a triplet-repeat motif implicated in myotonic dystrophy type 1....

Nomura Y, Roston D, Montemayor E, Cui Q, Butcher S
Nucleic Acids Res . 2018 Sep; 46(21):11488-11501. PMID: 30215753
Post-transcriptional modification of snRNA is central to spliceosome function. Usb1 is an exoribonuclease that shortens the oligo-uridine tail of U6 snRNA, resulting in a terminal 2',3' cyclic phosphate group in...

Montemayor E, Didychuk A, Yake A, Sidhu G, Brow D, Butcher S
Nat Commun . 2018 May; 9(1):1749. PMID: 29717126
The spliceosome removes introns from precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) to produce mature mRNA. Prior to catalysis, spliceosomes are assembled de novo onto pre-mRNA substrates. During this assembly process, U6 small...
