Understanding the molecular principles governing mRNP architecture
Eukaryotic messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles are the functional entities that carry genetic information to the protein synthesizing machinery. These ribonucleoprotein complexes are dynamic and diverse, as highlighted by the copious number of proteins and transcripts identified in global proteomic and transcriptomic studies. However, little is known about the composition and architecture of individual mRNPs, and how changes in mRNP structure relate to their function or to dysfunction. The GOVERNA project will address this gap in knowledge by purifying specific mRNPs and delving into their molecular and structural arrangement. With our preliminary data serving as a springboard, the…
