RNA Processing: Splicing and the Cytoplasmic Localisation of mRNA
نویسنده
چکیده
An unexpected link has been discovered between pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus and mRNA localisation in the cytoplasm. The new findings suggest that recruitment of the Mago Nashi and Y14 proteins upon splicing of oskar mRNA is an essential step in the localisation of the RNA to the posterior pole of the Drosophila oocyte.

Dual RNA Processing Roles of Pat1b via Cytoplasmic Lsm1-7 and Nuclear Lsm2-8 Complexes
Pat1 RNA-binding proteins, enriched in processing bodies (P bodies), are key players in cytoplasmic 5' to 3' mRNA decay, activating decapping of mRNA in complex with the Lsm1-7 heptamer. Using co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence approaches coupled with RNAi, we provide evidence for a nuclear complex of Pat1b with the Lsm2-8 heptamer, which binds to the spliceosomal U6 small nuclear RN...
متن کاملDcpS scavenger decapping enzyme can modulate pre-mRNA splicing.
The human scavenger decapping enzyme, DcpS, functions to hydrolyze the resulting cap structure following cytoplasmic mRNA decay yet is, surprisingly, a nuclear protein by immunofluorescence. Here, we show that DcpS is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein that contains separable nuclear import and Crm-1-dependent export signals. We postulated that the presence of DcpS in both cellular compartme...

The Ser/Arg-rich (SR) proteins constitute a family of highly conserved nuclear phosphoproteins that are involved in many steps of mRNA metabolism. Previously, we demonstrated that shuttling SR proteins can associate with translating ribosomes and enhance translation of reporter mRNAs both in vivo and in vitro. Here, we show that endogenous, cytoplasmic splicing factor 2/alternative splicing fac...
متن کاملCytoplasmic Viral RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Disrupts the Intracellular Splicing Machinery by Entering the Nucleus and Interfering with Prp8
The primary role of cytoplasmic viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is viral genome replication in the cellular cytoplasm. However, picornaviral RdRp denoted 3D polymerase (3D(pol)) also enters the host nucleus, where its function remains unclear. In this study, we describe a novel mechanism of viral attack in which 3D(pol) enters the nucleus through the nuclear localization signal (NLS) ...
