Ribonucleoprotein complexes as autoantigens.
Many intracellular proteins and nucleic acids, that are involved in important biosynthetic pathways, are targeted by autoantibodies occurring spontaneously in the sera of patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. Frequently, the autoantigens are assembled into multicomponent complexes containing both nucleic acid(s) and proteins. Recently, progress has been made in the study of autoantigenic ...
متن کاملThe Fate of Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Complexes
Using immunochemical techniques, we have examined the macromolecular state of association of the major heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) core proteins in mitotic HeLa cells. We find that these proteins are not free but are associated with high-molecular-weight RNA in the form of particles that sediment as a broad band between 80 and 200 S. We have termed these complexes MhnRNP for...
متن کاملCharacterization of Staufen 1 ribonucleoprotein complexes.
In Drosophila oocytes and neuroblasts, the double-stranded RNA binding protein Staufen assembles into ribonucleoprotein particles, which mediate cytoplasmic mRNA trafficking and translation. Two different mammalian orthologues also appear to reside in distinct RNA-containing particles. To date, relatively little is known about the molecular composition of Staufen-containing ribonucleoprotein co...
متن کاملRibonucleoprotein Complexes That Control Circadian Clocks
Circadian clocks are internal molecular time-keeping mechanisms that enable organisms to adjust their physiology and behavior to the daily surroundings. Misalignment of circadian clocks leads to both physiological and health impairment. Post-transcriptional regulation and translational regulation of circadian clocks have been extensively investigated. In addition, accumulating evidence has shed...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes using human anti-nuclear ribonucleoprotein antibodies.
We have investigated the feasibility of using human autoimmune antibodies to isolate and characterize specific nuclear ribonucleoprotein (nRNP) complexes. High titers of anti-nRNP antibodies occur in a syndrome called mixed connective tissue disease. IgG antibodies from two mixed connective tissue disease patients were used to construct affinity columns to isolate the antigenic complexes from r...
