Small RNAs in HnRNP fibrils and their possible function in splicing

Molecular Biology Reports

Abstract

Several arguments are in favor of a function of snRNA in the processing of premessenger RNA. A large fraction of snRNA is localized in hnRNP which are assumed to be the site of processing. The different snRNA species are not bound to hnRNP in a unique manner but are associated with both proteins and hnRNA which suggests the possibility of metabolic exchanges in the course of processing. There is approximately 1-2 molecules of snRNA per individual hnRNP. We reexamined the possibility that U1A RNA might serve for the alignment of the extremities of the intron sequences of premessenger RNA insuring correct condition for cutting and splicing. We found that only a UCCA (3' leads to 5') sequence at position 8-11 of U1A RNA was complementary to an AG-GU (5' leads to 3') around a putative splice point for 69 different introns sequenced so far. On the basis of secondary structure of U1A RNA, the UCCA sequence would be available for hybridization. The UCCA sequence is also present in U2 RNA and 4.5 S RNAI. It might associate with AG-GU in a manner similar to that of codon-anticodon, the stability of the complex being insured by the configuration of hnRNP. The possible formation of larger hybrids stable by themselves is unlikely upon exam...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
