Article Abstract
In this extra view, we comment on our recent work concerning the mRNA localization of the gene slow as molasses (slam). slam is a gene essential for the polarized invagination of the plasma membrane and separation of basal and lateral cortical domains during cellularization as well as for germ cell migration in later embryogenesis. We have demonstrated an intimate relationship between slam RNA and its encoded protein. Slam RNA co-localizes and forms a complex with its encoded protein. Slam mRNA localization not only is required for reaching full levels of functional Slam protein but also depends on Slam protein. The translation of slam mRNA is subject to tight spatio-temporal regulation leading to a rapid accumulation of Slam protein and zygotic slam RNA at the furrow canal. In this extra view, we first discuss the mechanism controlling localization and translation of slam RNA. In addition, we document in detail the maternal and zygotic expression of slam RNA and protein and provide data for a function in membrane stabilization. Furthermore, we mapped the region of Slam protein mediating cortical localization in cultured cells.

RNA expression levels are partially determined by RNA stabilities. Long-lived RNAs accumulate to higher levels than rapidly degraded RNAs when transcribed at the same rate. The extent to which RNA decay contributes to differences in gene expression between genes in the same cell or between different cell types has not been extensively examined.

To discover the molecular features that distinguish cHL, we deployed flow cytometric cell sorting and low-input RNA sequencing to generate full transcriptome data from viable, isolated Hodgkin and Red-Sternberg (HRS) cells from eighteen primary tumors, alongside matched intra-tumoral non-neoplastic B cells and four cell lines. Comparison of HRS cells to normal cellular subsets revealed evidence of abortive plasma cell differentiation, with an unfolded protein response signature, shared with plasma cell neoplasms, but not other B-cell lymphoma types.

Measuring RNA residence time within nuclear compartments provides insight into their roles as either storage sites or transient processing hubs. This protocol describes SLAM-RT&Tag, a genomic technique that integrates RNA metabolic labeling with RT&Tag, an RNA proximity labeling method. We detail steps for RNA labeling, library preparation, and computational quantification of T-to-C conversion events to infer RNA dynamics within nuclear compartments in human cell lines.

Nucleotide recoding RNA sequencing methods (NR-seq; TimeLapse-seq, SLAM-seq, TUC-seq, etc.) are powerful approaches for assaying transcript population dynamics. In addition, these methods have been extended to probe a host of regulated steps in the RNA life cycle.
