Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay02:27

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay

11.6K
The Upf proteins that carry out nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) are found in all eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Each protein has an individual role, but they need to work in collaboration. Upf1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that unwinds the RNA helix. Because Upf1 can unwind any RNA, Upf2 and Upf3 are required to help Upf1 discriminate between nonsense and normal mRNAs.
Usually, Upf3 binds to an Exon Junction Complex (EJC) at mRNA splice sites. If a ribosome fully translates the mRNA,...

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

6.2K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis02:53

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

14.6K
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,...

Necrosis01:16

Necrosis

6.2K
Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become...

Area of Science:

  • Cellular Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Necrosome assembly is critical for necroptosis, a programmed cell death pathway.
  • The precise spatiotemporal regulation of necrosome assembly is not well understood.
  • Necroptosis is implicated in various diseases, including neurodegeneration and inflammation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the spatiotemporal rules governing necrosome assembly.
  • To define the optimal stoichiometry of key proteins within the necrosome.
  • To understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling necrosome formation and signaling.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative super-resolution microscopy (STORM).
  • Mathematical modeling of protein assembly dynamics.
  • Biochemical assays to assess signaling activity.

Main Results:

  • An optimal RIP3 to RIP1 ratio of approximately 3:1 was identified for efficient necroptosis.
  • Excessive RIP3 oligomerization was found to attenuate necroptosis signaling.
  • RIP3 assembly is dynamically regulated by stimulation, RIP1, RIP3 itself, and MLKL.
  • Caspase-8 assembly is limited by c-FLIP and recruited linearly by RIP1.

Conclusions:

  • Necrosome assembly involves a flexible, multi-strategic approach to signalosome formation.
  • The balance between necrosome quantity and RIP3 assembly degree is crucial for MLKL phosphorylation.
  • Distinct assembly behaviors of RIP3 and Caspase-8 contribute to the biphasic necroptotic response.
  • Findings provide insights for therapeutic strategies targeting necroptosis and for synthetic biology applications.
