In vivo kinetics of Cajal body components
Cajal bodies (CBs) are subnuclear domains implicated in small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) biogenesis. In most cell types, CBs coincide with nuclear gems, which contain the survival of motor neurons (SMN) complex, an essential snRNP assembly factor. Here, we analyze the exchange kinetics of multiple components of CBs and gems in living cells using photobleaching microscopy. We demonstrate ...
متن کاملIn vivo kinetics of U4/U6·U5 tri-snRNP formation in Cajal bodies
The U4/U6·U5 tri-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (tri-snRNP) is an essential pre-mRNA splicing factor, which is assembled in a stepwise manner before each round of splicing. It was previously shown that the tri-snRNP is formed in Cajal bodies (CBs), but little is known about the dynamics of this process. Here we created a mathematical model of tri-snRNP assembly in CBs and used it to f...
متن کاملSteady-state dynamics of Cajal body components in the Xenopus germinal vesicle
Cajal bodies (CBs) are evolutionarily conserved nuclear organelles that contain many factors involved in the transcription and processing of RNA. It has been suggested that macromolecular complexes preassemble or undergo maturation within CBs before they function elsewhere in the nucleus. Most such models of CB function predict a continuous flow of molecules between CBs and the nucleoplasm, but...
متن کاملThe Cajal body and histone locus body.
The Cajal body (CB) is a nuclear organelle present in all eukaryotes that have been carefully studied. It is identified by the signature protein coilin and by CB-specific RNAs (scaRNAs). CBs contain high concentrations of splicing small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and other RNA processing factors, suggesting that they are sites for assembly and/or posttranscriptional modification of the...
متن کاملCajal body finds its function
he Cajal body (CB, formerly coiled body) is a prominent nuclear structure, yet its function remains obscure. Now, speculate that the CB is where small nuclear RNAs go for modification. Last year, Kiss's team identified a small guide RNA, U85, that directs both 2'-O-methylation and pseudouridylation of the spliceosomal component U5 snRNA. This year, they've identified six more RNAs, Novel guide ...
