Myxoma virus protein M029 is a dual function immunomodulator that inhibits PKR and also conscripts RHA/DHX9 to promote expanded host tropism and viral replication. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Myxoma virus (MYXV)-encoded protein M029 is a member of the poxvirus E3 family of dsRNA-binding proteins that antagonize the cellular interferon signaling pathways.

The Cajal body and the nucleolus : “in a relationship” or “it's complicated”? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
From their initial identification as 'nucleolar accessory bodies' more than a century ago, the relationship between Cajal bodies and nucleoli has been a subject of interest and controversy.

In vitro RNase and nucleic acid binding activities implicate coilin in U snRNA processing.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Coilin is known as the marker protein for Cajal bodies (CBs), subnuclear domains important for the biogenesis of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) which function in pre-mRNA splicing.

WRAP53 is essential for Cajal body formation and for targeting the survival of motor neuron complex to Cajal bodies. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2010
The WRAP53 gene gives rise to a p53 antisense transcript that regulates p53. This gene also encodes a protein that directs small Cajal body-specific RNAs to Cajal bodies.

Host Factors interacting with the Pestivirus N terminal protease, Npro are Components of the Ribonucleoprotein Complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The viral N-terminal protease N(pro) of pestiviruses counteracts cellular antiviral defenses through inhibition of IRF3. Here we used mass spectrometry to identify a new role for N(pro) through its interaction with over 55 associated proteins, mainly ...

Coilin association with Box C/D scaRNA suggests a direct role for the Cajal body marker protein in scaRNP biogenesis

open access: yesBiology Open, 2014
Spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) are enriched in the Cajal body (CB). Guide RNAs, known as small Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs), direct modification of the small nuclear RNA (snRNA) component of the snRNP.

Regulation of RNA Splicing: Aberrant Splicing Regulation and Therapeutic Targets in Cancer

open access: yesCells, 2021
RNA splicing is a critical step in the maturation of precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) by removing introns and exons. The combination of inclusion and exclusion of introns and exons in pre-mRNA can generate vast diversity in mature mRNA from a limited number of ...

Structural basis for dual roles of Aar2p in U5 snRNP assembly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Yeast U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) is assembled via a cytoplasmic precursor that contains the U5-specific Prp8 protein but lacks the U5-specific Brr2 helicase.

Regulation of Pre-mRNA Splicing: Indispensable Role of Post-Translational Modifications of Splicing Factors

open access: yesLife, 2023
Pre-mRNA splicing is a process used by eukaryotic cells to generate messenger RNAs that can be translated into proteins. During splicing, the non-coding regions of the RNAs (introns) are removed from pre-mRNAs and the coding regions (exons) are joined ...
