We link these two sets of enigmatic results. We find that antisense transcripts are the target for agRNAs that activate or repress expression of progesterone receptor (PR). agRNAs recruit Argonaute proteins to PR antisense transcripts and shift localization of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleopro...

Abstract
We have set up an inducible human erythroid cell system. We show that, during induction, K562 cells exhibit changes in morphology and protein expression that are characteristic for terminal erythroid maturation: nuclear exclusion, expression of endogenous human r15-LOX regulated by hnRNP K and hnRNP...

Abstract
Cytoplasmic hnRNP K and high TP are associated with shorter OS and distant metastasis-free survival in NPC patients. In vitro experiments suggest that NPC tumors with high TP expression may be sensitive to 5'-DFUR treatment. Cytoplasmic hnRNP K and high TP may be potential prognostic and therapeutic...

Abstract
We observed that hnRNP K was markedly arginine methylated in response to UV radiation. Furthermore, arginine methylation of hnRNP K enhanced its affinity with p53. Inhibition of methylation in hnRNP K attenuated the recruitment of p53 to p21 promoter, and reduced p53 transcriptional activity. These...

Abstract
We have previously shown that Ang II rapidly increases VEGF protein synthesis in proximal tubular epithelial (MCT) cells by augmenting mRNA translation, which is partly dependent on activation and binding of hnRNP K to 3' untranslated region (UTR) of VEGF mRNA. Regulation of hnRNP K activation by PK...

We address the question how hnRNP K interacts with and activates c-Src. We define the proline residues in hnRNP K in the proline-rich motifs P2 (amino acids [aa] 285 to 297) and P3 (aa 303 to 318), which are necessary and sufficient for the specific activation of c-Src, and we dissect the amino acid...

We identify a direct interaction between N-WASP and hnRNPK.

PDGF is a potent chemotactic mitogen and a strong inductor of fibroblast motility.

Nutrient regulation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) expression occurs through changes in the rate of splicing of G6PD pre-mRNA.
