RNA Splicing01:32

RNA Splicing

59.8K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

Alternative RNA Splicing02:18

Alternative RNA Splicing

24.2K
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...

Chromatin Structure Regulates pre-mRNA Processing

7.9K
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...

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting01:45

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

3.0K
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Chromatin Biology

Background:

  • Nucleolar structure is dynamic, responding to internal and external cues.
  • The precise mechanisms governing nucleolar morphology and number regulation are not fully understood.
  • The linker of the nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex, involving SUN proteins, is implicated in nucleolar organization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the function of SUN1 splicing variants in determining nucleolar morphology.
  • To elucidate the distinct roles of SUN1_888 and SUN1_916 variants in nucleolar regulation.
  • To explore the impact of SUN1 variants on chromatin structure and histone modifications.

Main Methods:

  • RNA interference (RNAi) strategy to deplete specific SUN1 splicing variants.
  • Analysis of nucleolar morphology and number.
  • Assessment of chromatin structure and histone modification distribution.

Main Results:

  • Predominantly expressed SUN1 variants (SUN1_888 and SUN1_916) are crucial for nucleolar morphology.
  • SUN1_888 and SUN1_916 exhibit distinct functional roles in regulating nucleoli.
  • Depletion of either SUN1 variant alters chromatin structure and affects histone modification patterns.

Conclusions:

  • The LINC complex, through its SUN1 splicing variants, plays a significant role in modulating nucleolar morphology and number.
  • SUN1 variants influence nucleolar organization by affecting chromatin structure and histone modifications.
  • A model is proposed where the LINC complex regulates nucleoli via chromatin interactions.
