Resumen
El interferón (IFN) regula al alza las nucleoporinas Nup98 y Nup96, revirtiendo la inhibición de la proteína de la matriz del virus de la estomatitis vesicular de la exportación de ARNm. Este mecanismo mediado por IFN restaura la expresión génica.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Virología Virología.
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
Sus antecedentes:
- El complejo de poros nucleares (NPC, por sus siglas en inglés) regula el transporte nucleocitoplasmático.
- Las nucleoporinas (Nups) Nup98 y Nup96 son componentes de NPC que se encuentran en el interior del núcleo.
- La proteína de la matriz (M) del virus de la estomatitis vesicular (VSV) inhibe la exportación nuclear del ARN mensajero (ARNm) al dirigirse a Nup98.8.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el efecto del interferón (IFN) en la expresión de Nup98 y Nup96.
- Para determinar si el IFN puede revertir la inhibición mediada por la proteína M de la exportación de ARNm.
Principales métodos:
- Tratamientos celulares con el IFN-gamma.
- Transfección con ADN complementario (ADNc) que codifica para Nup98 y Nup96.
- Análisis de la exportación nuclear de ARNm y la expresión génica.
Principales resultados:
- El interferón (IFN) regula al alza la expresión de Nup98 y Nup96.
- El tratamiento con IFN-gamma o la transfección de ADNc Nup98/Nup96 invirtió la inhibición inducida por la proteína M de la exportación de ARNm.
- El aumento de la expresión de Nup98 y Nup96 contrarrestó los efectos inhibidores de la proteína M sobre la expresión génica.
Conclusiones:
- La regulación al alza por IFN de Nup98 y Nup96 es un mecanismo inmune innato.
- Este mecanismo invierte efectivamente la inhibición viral de la expresión génica del huésped.
- Nup98 y Nup96 juegan un papel crítico en la defensa antiviral mediante la restauración de la exportación de ARNm.

02:31Nuclear Export of mRNA
Before mRNAs are exported to the cytoplasm, it is crucial to check each mRNA for structural and functional integrity. Eukaryotic cells use several different mechanisms, collectively known as mRNA surveillance, to look for irregularities in mRNAs. Irregular or aberrant mRNA are rapidly degraded by various enzymes. If a defective mRNA escapes the surveillance, it would be translated into a protein which would either be non-functional or not function properly. One of the primary irregularities in...
02:27Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay
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,...

02:22Regulated mRNA Transport
In eukaryotes, transcription and translation are compartmentalized; an mRNA is first synthesized in the nucleus and then selectively transported to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. Before transport, a pre-mRNA undergoes several steps of post-transcriptional modifications including splicing, 5' capping, and the addition of a poly-adenine tail. Various proteins bind to the pre-mRNA during these modifications. The mRNA transport takes place with the help of multiple proteins playing specific...
01:42Nuclear Export
The nucleus restricts several proteins within and allows others to pass. The restricted proteins possess a nuclear retention sequence or NRS, anchoring them to the nuclear lamins and preventing their transport to the cytosol. The non-restricted proteins, after their synthesis, are transported to their site of action, such as the cytosol or other organelles, with the help of nuclear export signals or NES.
NES are of three types- the canonical 10-residue long leucine-rich signal and other...
