Neuronal RNA Granules: Movers and Makers
RNA localization contributes to cell polarity and synaptic plasticity. Evidence will be discussed that RNA transport and local translation in neurons may be more intimately linked than originally thought. Second, neuronal RNA granules, originally defined as intermediates involved in mRNA transport, are much more diverse in their composition and functions than previously anticipated. We focus on...
متن کاملMicrotubules and neurodevelopmental disease: the movers and the makers.
The development of the mammalian cortex requires the generation, migration and differentiation of neurons. Each of these cellular events requires a dynamic microtubule cytoskeleton. Microtubules are required for interkinetic nuclear migration, the separation of chromatids in mitosis, nuclear translocation during migration and the outgrowth of neurites. Their importance is underlined by the find...
متن کاملNeuronal RNA Granules A Link between RNA Localization and Stimulation-Dependent Translation
RNA granules are a macromolecular structure observed in neurons, where they serve as motile units that translocate mRNAs. Isolated RNA granules are highly enriched in Staufen protein and ultrastructurally contain densely packed clusters of ribosomes. With depolarization, many mRNAs, including those involved in plasticity, rapidly shift from the RNA granule fraction to polysomes. Depolarization ...
متن کاملRNA granules
Cytoplasmic RNA granules in germ cells (polar and germinal granules), somatic cells (stress granules and processing bodies), and neurons (neuronal granules) have emerged as important players in the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. RNA granules contain various ribosomal subunits, translation factors, decay enzymes, helicases, scaffold proteins, and RNA-binding proteins, and the...
متن کاملA novel RNA-binding protein in neuronal RNA granules: regulatory machinery for local translation.
Local translation in neuronal dendrites is an important basis for long-term synaptic plasticity, and RNA granules in the dendrites are involved in the local translation. Here, we identify RNG105 (RNA granule protein 105), a novel RNA-binding protein, as a component of the RNA granules in dendrites of hippocampal neurons. The RNG105-localizing RNA granules contain mRNAs, the translational produc...
