What's a GeneRIF?

our work reveals useful insights to explain why Drosophila Tailor can preferentially select RNA substrates ending in 3'G and provides important values for further understanding the biological significances of biogenesis pathway of mirtron in flies.
Title: Structural insights into a unique preference for 3' terminal guanine of mirtron in Drosophila TUTase tailor.
Analysis of crystal structures reveal specific amino acid residues of Tailor that are involved in donor and acceptor substrate recognition, and complementary biochemical assays confirm the critical role of an active site arginine in conferring selectivity toward 3'-guanosine terminated RNAs.
Title: Structural basis for acceptor RNA substrate selectivity of the 3' terminal uridylyl transferase Tailor.
The mutants of Tailor and Dis3L2 are viable and lack overt morphological defects. Instead, these mutants exhibit defects in female and male fertility, implying specific requirements in the germline.
Title: Characterization of a TUTase/RNase complex required for Drosophila gametogenesis.
Tailor is an uridylyltransferase that is required for the majority of 3' end modifications of microRNAs and predominantly targets precursor hairpins
Title: Uridylation of RNA Hairpins by Tailor Confines the Emergence of MicroRNAs in Drosophila.
