Nuclear Localization of G3BP6 Is Essential for the Flowering Transition in Arabidopsis
The Ras GTPase-activating protein SH3 domain-binding protein (G3BP) belongs to the highly conserved family of RNA-binding proteins, which has been well-investigated in humans and animals.

Alphaviruses infect a diverse range of host organisms including mosquitoes, mammals, and birds. The enigmatic alphavirus non-structural protein 3 (nsP3) has an intrinsically disordered, C-terminal hypervariable domain (HVD) that can interact with a ...

Combined structural, biochemical and cellular evidence demonstrates that both FGDF motifs in alphavirus nsP3 are required for efficient replication [PDF]
Recent findings have highlighted the role of the Old World alphavirus non-structural protein 3 (nsP3) as a host defence modulator that functions by disrupting stress granules, subcellular phase-dense RNA/protein structures formed upon environmental ...

Sequestration of G3BP coupled with efficient translation inhibits stress granules in Semliki Forest virus infection [PDF]
Dynamic, mRNA-containing stress granules (SGs) form in the cytoplasm of cells under environmental stresses, including viral infection. Many viruses appear to employ mechanisms to disrupt the formation of SGs on their mRNAs, suggesting that they represent

Identification of small molecule inhibitors of G3BP-driven stress granule formation
ABSTRACTStress granule formation is triggered by the release of mRNAs from polysomes and is promoted by the action of the paralogs G3BP1 and G3BP2. G3BP1/2 proteins bind mRNAs and thereby promote the condensation of mRNPs into stress granules. Stress granules have been implicated in several disease states, including cancer and neurodegeneration ...

Identification of a non-canonical G3BP-binding sequence in a Mayaro virus nsP3 hypervariable domain
Ras-GTPase-activating SH3 domain-binding-proteins 1 (G3BP1) and 2 (G3BP2) are multifunctional RNA-binding proteins involved in stress granule nucleation, previously identified as essential cofactors of Old World alphaviruses.

Visualization of G3BP Stress Granules Dynamics in Live Primary Cells [PDF]
SGs can be visualized in cells by immunostaining of specific protein components or polyA+ mRNAs. SGs are highly dynamic and the study of their assembly and fate is important to understand the cellular response to stress. The deficiency in key factors of SGs like G3BP (RasGAP SH3 domain Binding Protein) leads to developmental defects in mice and ...

RIG-I Mediated Neuron-Specific IFN Type 1 Signaling in FUS-ALS Induces Neurodegeneration and Offers New Biomarker-Driven Individualized Treatment Options for (FUS-)ALS. [PDF]
Using iPSC‐derived motoneurons and postmortem tissue from FUS‐ALS patients, it is demonstrated that increased mitochondrial transcription leads to elevated cytosolic double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) levels. This aberrant accumulation activates a RIG‐I–dependent innate immune response leading to neurodegeneration, which is amenable for FDA‐ and EMA‐approved ...

Novel role of Ras-GTPase Activating Protein SH3 Domain-Binding Protein G3BP in adhesion and migration of 32D myeloid progenitor cells [PDF]
Rho GTPases are involved in homing and mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells due to their impact on cytoskeleton remodeling. We have previously shown that inhibition of Rho, Rac and Cdc42 clearly impairs adhesion of normal and leukemic ...

Summary: Stress granules (SGs) constitute a signaling hub that plays a critical role in type I interferon responses. Here, we report that growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible beta (Gadd45β) act as a positive regulator of SG-mediated interferon ...
