Resumen

El exosoma eucariótico, un complejo crucial de degradación del ARN, ahora se puede entender para degradar o recortar el ARN. Los estudios estructurales revelan un mecanismo oscilante en el exosoma que dicta el procesamiento de ARN basado en la interacción del sustrato.

Nuclear 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...
