Binding of the heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) to the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) enhances viral LMP2A expression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) -encoded EBNA2 protein, which is essential for the in vitro transformation of B-lymphocytes, interferes with cellular processes by binding to proteins via conserved sequence motifs.

Expression of muscle-specific MiRNA 206 in the progression of disease in a murine SMA model [PDF]

, 2015
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disease, the most common in infancy, and the third one among young people under 18 years. The major pathological landmark of SMA is a selective degeneration of lower motor neurons, resulting in ...

Molecular medicine of microRNAs: structure, function and implications for diabetes [PDF]

, 2008
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous small noncoding RNA molecules, of 19–28 nucleotides in length. In humans, up to 3% of all genes are estimated to encode these evolutionarily conserved sequences.

The Survival of Motor Neuron Protein Acts as a Molecular Chaperone for mRNP Assembly

Cell Reports, 2017
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease caused by reduced levels of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein. SMN is part of a multiprotein complex that facilitates the assembly of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs).

The Ribosome Cooperates with the Assembly Chaperone pICln to Initiate Formation of snRNPs

Cell Reports, 2016
The formation of macromolecular complexes within the crowded environment of cells often requires aid from assembly chaperones. PRMT5 and SMN complexes mediate this task for the assembly of the common core of pre-mRNA processing small nuclear ...

Schizophrenia gene networks and pathways and their applications for novel candidate gene selection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a heritable, complex mental disorder. We have seen limited success in finding causal genes for schizophrenia from numerous conventional studies.

Functional and structural deficiencies of Gemin5 variants associated with neurological disorders

Life Science Alliance, 2022
Gemin5 clinical variants perturbing the dimerization module and the noncanonical RNA-binding site impair oligomerization, RNA–protein interaction networks, ribosome association, and protein stability.

WRAP53 Unwrapped; Roles in Nuclear Architecture and Cancer [PDF]

, 2011
WRAP53 is a gene of multiple functions; it encodes for a natural antisense transcript that regulates the actions of the tumour suppressor p53, and it gives rise to a protein with oncogenic properties that is important for Cajal body formation and ...

Self-oligomerization regulates stability of survival motor neuron protein isoforms by sequestering an SCF^Slmb degron [PDF]

, 2017
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by homozygous mutations in human SMN1. Expression of a duplicate gene (SMN2) primarily results in skipping of exon 7 and production of an unstable protein isoform, SMNΔ7.
