Detection of antibodies to small nuclear ribonucleoproteins and small cytoplasmic ribonucleoproteins using unlabeled cell extracts [PDF]
AbstractRNA molecules immunoprecipitated with sera from patients who have rheumatic diseases can be readily detected in polyacrylamide gels by using ethidium bromide and silver stains. With these stains, we found that RNA patterns characteristic of a broad range of specific small nuclear ribonucleoproteins and small cytoplasmic ribonucleoproteins were ...

Nuclear organization of splicing small nuclear ribonucleoproteins in adenovirus-infected cells [PDF]
We have studied the effect of adenovirus infection on the nuclear organization of splicing small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) in HeLa cells. In uninfected HeLa cells, snRNPs are widespread throughout the nucleoplasm but also are concentrated in specific nuclear structures, including coiled bodies, interchromatin granules, and perichromatin ...

U1RNP/lncRNA/Transcription Cycle Axis Promotes Tumorigenesis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
As a component of the spliceosome, U1 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (U1RNPs) play critical roles in RNA splicing, and recent studies have shown that U1RNPs could recruit long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to chromatin which are involved in cancer ...

PRP4: a protein of the yeast U4/U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle [PDF]
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae prp mutants (prp2 through prp11) are known to be defective in pre-mRNA splicing at nonpermissive temperatures. We have sequenced the PRP4 gene and shown that it encodes a 52-kilodalton protein.

Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
We report here on the isolation and characterization of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and corresponding small nuclear RNA (snRNA) species from nuclei of Drosophila melanogaster. Velocity sedimentation in sucrose gradients was used to partially fractionate the RNPs; analysis of fractions so obtained suggests that, in general, one snRNP ...

Crystal Structures of Influenza A Virus Matrix Protein M1: Variations on a Theme [PDF]
Matrix protein 1 (M1) of the influenza A virus plays multiple roles in virion assembly and infection. Interest in the pH dependence of M1\u27s multiple functions led us to study the effect of subtle pH changes on M1 structure, resulting in the ...

Functional rescue of dystrophin deficiency in mice caused by frameshift mutations using Campylobacter jejuni Cas9 [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal, X-linked muscle wasting disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene. In 51% of DMD cases, a reading frame is disrupted because of deletion of several exons.

Polypeptide components of human small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. [PDF]
Small nuclear RNA molecules (snRNAs) are associated with polypeptides in vivo, forming small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes (snRNPs). These snRNP complexes are targets for certain autoimmune antisera. Antisera of the type anti-Sm precipitate (and therefore define) a class including U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 snRNAs, whereas antisera of the anti-RNP ...

Cellular bases of the RNA metabolism dysfunction in motor neurons of a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy: Role of Cajal bodies and the nucleolus [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by a homozygous deletion or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene that leads to reduced levels of SMN protein resulting in degeneration of motor neurons (MNs).

Rpl13a small nucleolar RNAs regulate systemic glucose metabolism [PDF]
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that form ribonucleoproteins to guide covalent modifications of ribosomal and small nuclear RNAs in the nucleus. Recent studies have also uncovered additional non-canonical roles for snoRNAs.
