Pre-mRNP particles: From gene to nuclear pore
It has been difficult to establish whether pre-messenger ribonucleoprotein (pre-mRNP) particles move from the gene towards the periphery of the nucleus in a directed or random manner. Two recent in vivo studies indicate that most pre-mRNP particles move randomly in the nucleus, apparently by free diffusion.
متن کاملThe hrp23 Protein in the Balbiani Ring Pre-mRNP Particles Is Released Just before or at the Binding of the Particles to the Nuclear Pore Complex
Balbiani ring (BR) pre-mRNP particles reside in the nuclei of salivary glands of the dipteran Chironomus tentans and carry the message for giant-sized salivary proteins. In the present study, we identify and characterize a new protein component in the BR ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles, designated hrp23. The protein with a molecular mass of 20 kD has a single RNA-binding domain and a glycine-...
متن کاملFrom nuclear pore to kinetochore
From nuclear pore to kinetochore uclear proteins are turning up in some odd places lately. First, the nuclear-transport factor Ran was implicated in spindle formation. Then, the mitotic checkpoint proteins Mad1 and Mad2 turned up at the nuclear pore, in a switch with the mRNA export factor hRae1, which appeared with the mitotic checkpoint protein mBUB1 at the kinetochore. Now, Belgareh et al. r...
متن کاملThe nuclear pore complex and its link to mRNP and ribosome biogenesis
Background Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the sole mediator of transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Embedded into the double nuclear membrane, this huge assembly exhibits an eight-fold rotational symmetry with distinct substructures, including the spoke-ring complex, cytoplasmic pore filaments and the nuclear basket. The core structure also contains a central channel through whic...
متن کاملActive nuclear pore complexes in Chironomus: visualization of transporter configurations related to mRNP export.
The Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) regulates nucleocytoplasmic transport by providing small channels for passive diffusion and multiple docking surfaces that lead to a central translocation channel for active transport. In this study we have investigated by high resolution scanning and transmission electron microscopy the dynamics of NPC structure in salivary gland nuclei from Chironomus during Bal...
