Cell division promotes efficient retrotransposition in a stable L1 reporter cell line [PDF]
Background: Long interspersed element type one (L1) actively modifies the human genome by inserting new copies of itself. This process, termed retrotransposition, requires the formation of an L1 ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex, which must enter the ...

Activation of interferon regulatory factor-3 via toll-like receptor 3 and immunomodulatory functions detected in A549 lung epithelial cells exposed to misplaced U1-snRNA [PDF]
U1-snRNA is an integral part of the U1 ribonucleoprotein pivotal for pre-mRNA splicing. Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling has recently been associated with immunoregulatory capacities of U1-snRNA.

Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein remodeling during catalytic activation of the spliceosome [PDF]
Major structural changes occur in the spliceosome during its activation just before catalyzing the splicing of pre-messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Whereas changes in small nuclear RNA ( snRNA) conformation are well documented, little is known about ...

A human U2 RNA mutant stalled in 3' end processing is impaired in nuclear import
The biosynthesis of U1, U2, U4 and U5 spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) involves the nuclear export of precursor molecules extended at their 3' ends, followed by a cytoplasmic phase during which the pre-snRNAs assemble into ribonucleoprotein ...

Nuclear RNA-binding proteins meet cytoplasmic viruses [PDF]
Cytoplasmic viruses interact intricately with the nuclear pore complex and nuclear import/export machineries, affecting nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking.

Higher order nuclear organization: three-dimensional distribution of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles [PDF]
The structural and functional organization of the cell nucleus has been investigated using three-dimensional reconstruction, immunoelectron microscopy, and high-resolution in situ autoradiography.

Modulation of nuclear localization of the influenza virus nucleoprotein through interaction with actin filaments [PDF]
The influenza virus genome is transcribed in the nuclei of infected cells but assembled into progeny virions in the cytoplasm. This is reflected in the cellular distribution of the virus nucleoprotein (NP), a protein which encapsidates genomic RNA to ...

Structure-function analysis of the U2 snRNP-associated splicing factor SF3a
Human splicing factor SF3a is a part of the 17 S U2 snRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein), which interacts with the pre-mRNA branch site early during spliceosome formation.

In the assembly of a prespliceosome, U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) functions in pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing together with splicing factors (SFs) 3a, SF3b, and several other proteins.
