Ribosomal RNA Synthesis02:53

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

15.0K
Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

Chromatin Structure Regulates pre-mRNA Processing02:41

Chromatin Structure Regulates pre-mRNA Processing

8.3K
In eukaryotic cells, nascent mRNA transcripts need to undergo many post-transcriptional modifications to reach the cell cytoplasm and translate into functional proteins. For a long time, transcription and pre-mRNA processing were considered two independent events that occur sequentially in the cell. However, it has now been well established that transcription and pre-mRNA processing are two simultaneous processes that are precisely regulated inside the cell.
The chromatin structure, especially...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

3.0K
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

Ribozymes02:47

Ribozymes

13.5K
The term ribozyme is used for RNA that can act as an enzyme. Ribozymes are mainly found in selected viruses, bacteria, plant organelles, and lower eukaryotes. Ribozymes were first discovered in 1982 when Tom Cech’s laboratory observed Group I introns acting as enzymes. This was shortly followed by the discovery of another ribozyme, Ribonulcease P, by Sid Altman’s laboratory. Both Cech and Altman received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1989 for their work on ribozymes.
Ribozymes can...

Protein Complex Assembly02:41

Protein Complex Assembly

16.9K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs02:57

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

7.7K
PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

  • RNA Biology

Background:

  • The HEXIM1 protein is known to interact with the 7SK small nuclear RNA to regulate transcription.
  • The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cellular processes, including immunity, is an emerging area of research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Co-immunoprecipitation assays to identify interacting proteins and RNAs.
  • RNA sequencing and analysis to characterize the NEAT1 lncRNA.
  • Functional assays to assess the impact of the complex on innate immune signaling pathways.

Main Results:

  • A new ribonuclear complex composed of HEXIM1 and the NEAT1 lncRNA was identified.
  • This HEXIM1-NEAT1 complex was found to regulate the innate immune response specifically against DNA viruses.
  • The HEXIM1-NEAT1 complex is functionally and compositionally distinct from the previously described HEXIM1-7SK RNA transcriptional repressor complex.

Conclusions:

  • HEXIM1 participates in distinct ribonucleoprotein complexes with different functions.
