Joining the dots: production, processing and targeting of U snRNP to nuclear bodies

Abstract

The spliceosome is the RNP complex than catalyses the removal of introns from the Uridine-rich small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (U snRNPs) that make up the main components of this complex. The production of these RNPs is an intricate process, involving several key stages. These include: 1) the transcription of the U snRNAs; 2) their nuclear export; 3) the cytoplasmic assembly of the U snRNP; 4) their nuclear import; 5) their processing within Cajal bodies and the nucleolus; and 6) their storage in interchromatin granule clusters (IGCs). This review focuses on each of these stages, discussing the key complexes involved as well as the trafficking and targeting mechanisms involved.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
