I would really like to know 🙂 we do not have the exact mechanism which is crucial for better understanding. My guess is that the unfolded protein response (Ed Figure 6 a-b in the manuscript) is somehow connected. But we don't have a definitive answer yet.

It's about spatial distribution. TENT5A is anchored to the ER membrane, thus being close to the RNAs being translated there. In our previous works we were unable to find any specific sequence motifs in TENT5 mRNA substrates.

This publication represents the culmination of a long,challenging journey.We initially posted our findings as a #preprint on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social in December 2022.The rigorous review process demanded additional experiments,which significantly strengthened our final manuscript.(18/n)

These findings have immediate implications for therapeutic mRNA design: optimization of ER-targeting signals could enhance TENT5A-mediated re-adenylation, potentially improving vaccine efficacy and reducing dosage requirements. (17/n)

🐭 In vivo studies showed that TENT5A-deficient mice produced significantly less antigen-specific #antibodies following #mRNA #vaccination. This highlights the essential role of #TENT5A in mounting an effective immune response to mRNA-based vaccines. (15/n)

Our findings reveal a mechanistic principle: spatial proximity to ER-resident #TENT5A governs re-adenylation efficiency. This positions the #endoplasmic #reticulum as a central hub not only for #mRNA translation, but also for post-transcriptional regulation. (14/n)

Surprisingly, comparative analysis revealed differential re-adenylation efficiency between vaccine formulations:

We identified #TENT5A -a polyA polymerase our lab has studied extensively - as responsible for this effect. Its expression is induced by vaccine delivery, most likely through innate immune signaling (please compare our previous paper: doi.org/10.1126/scia...).
