Early formation of mRNP: license for export or quality control?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eukaryotic mRNA is processed by enzymes and packaged with proteins within nuclei to generate functional messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles. Processing and packaging factors can interact with mRNA cotranscriptionally to form an early mRNP. Erroneous mRNP formation leads to nuclear retention and degradation of the mRNA. It therefore appears that one function of cotranscriptional mRNP assembly is to discard aberrant mRNPs early in their biogenesis. Cotranscriptional mRNP assembly may also enable the transcription machinery to respond to improper mRNP formation.

Co‐transcriptional mRNP formation is coordinated within a molecular mRNP packaging station in S. cerevisiae
In eukaryotes, the messenger RNA (mRNA), the blueprint of a protein-coding gene, is processed and packaged into a messenger ribonucleoprotein particle (mRNP) by mRNA-binding proteins in the nucleus. The steps of mRNP formation - transcription, processing, packaging, and the orchestrated release of the export-competent mRNP from the site of transcription for nuclear mRNA export - are tightly cou...
متن کاملModulation of transcription affects mRNP quality.
Cotranscriptional loading of proteins onto nascent transcripts contributes to the formation of messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) competent for nuclear export. The transcription machinery is believed to play a pivotal role in mRNP assembly, which is at least partially linked to the function of the THO/TREX complex and the mRNA termination/polyadenylation apparatus. Here we demonstrat...

Nuclear mRNA export is a crucial step in eukaryotic gene expression, which is in yeast coupled to cotranscriptional messenger ribonucleoprotein particle (mRNP) assembly and surveillance. Several surveillance systems that monitor nuclear mRNP biogenesis and export have been described, but the mechanism by which the improper mRNPs are recognized and eliminated remains poorly understood. Here we r...
متن کاملNuclear pore components affect distinct stages of intron-containing gene expression
Several nuclear pore-associated factors, including the SUMO-protease Ulp1, have been proposed to prevent the export of intron-containing messenger ribonucleoparticles (mRNPs) in yeast. However, the molecular mechanisms of this nuclear pore-dependent mRNA quality control, including the sumoylated targets of Ulp1, have remained unidentified. Here, we demonstrate that the apparent 'pre-mRNA leakag...
