A sart1 Zebrafish Mutant Results in Developmental Defects in the Central Nervous System
The spliceosome consists of accessory proteins and small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) that remove introns from RNA. As splicing defects are associated with degenerative conditions, a better understanding of spliceosome formation and function is ...

Evidence for a nuclear compartment of transcription and splicing located at chromosome domain boundaries [PDF]
The nuclear topography of splicing snRNPs, mRNA transcripts and chromosome domains in various mammalian cell types are described. The visualization of splicing snRNPs, defined by the Sm antigen, and coiled bodies, revealed distinctly different ...

The C-group Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Proteins Bind to the 5′ Stem-Loop of the U2 Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Particle [PDF]
The C-group heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) proteins bind to nascent pre-messenger RNA. In vitro studies have indicated that the C hnRNP proteins bind particularly strongly to the intron polypyrimidine tract of pre-mRNA and may be important for pre-mRNA splicing.

SNUPN deficiency causes a recessive muscular dystrophy due to RNA mis-splicing and ECM dysregulation
SNURPORTIN-1, encoded by SNUPN, plays a central role in the nuclear import of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. However, its physiological function remains unexplored.

U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein studied by in vitro assembly. [PDF]
The small nuclear RNAs are known to be complexed with proteins in the cell (snRNP). To learn more about these proteins, we developed an in vitro system for studying their interactions with individual small nuclear RNA species. Translation of HeLa cell poly(A)+ mRNA in an exogenous message-dependent reticulocyte lysate results in the synthesis of snRNP ...

Smart Nanotechnologies for Multimodal Neuromodulation and Brain Interfacing
Recent advances in smart nanotechnologies are expanding the toolbox for brain interfacing, from wireless neuromodulation and high‐resolution sensing to targeted delivery within the central nervous system. By combining responsive nanomaterials with bioinspired design, these platforms enable multimodal interactions with neurons and glia, while also ...

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...
