中文简介:
一旦DNA被转录成RNA,各种RNA结合蛋白(RBPs)就与RNA相互作用,从而调节蛋白质的表达。这在高度极化的细胞中尤其重要,比如大脑中的神经元和胶质细胞。RBPs控制选择性mRNA亚型的产生,并将这些mRNA定位到特定的细胞室,在那里mRNA的翻译可以根据局部刺激进行调节。我们发现了大脑中产生的转录物的新的调控特征,包括转座因子和零长度外显子。我将讨论这些特征如何促进基因表达的调控、多样性和进化。我还将介绍RBPs与mRNAs二级结构的相互作用。我们最近开发了一种高通量的方法,可以在体内识别与RBPs相互作用的RNA双工体。这揭示了长程RNA环的存在,它调节mRNA的稳定性和翻译。总之,我将讨论蛋白质-核糖核酸的相互作用如何使大脑中基因表达的多样性和独特机制得以实现。
课程简介: As soon as DNA is transcribed into RNA, various RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) interact with the RNA, and thereby regulate the expression of proteins. This is particularly important in highly polarised cells, such as neurons and glia in the brain. RBPs control production of alternative mRNA isoforms and localisation of these mRNAs to specific cellular compartments, where mRNA translation can then be regulated in response to local stimuli. We have uncovered new regulatory features in transcripts that are produced in the brain, including transposable elements and zero-length exons. I will discuss how these features contribute to the regulation, diversity and evolution of gene expression. I will also present interactions of RBPs with the secondary structure of mRNAs. We recently developed a high-throughput method that can identify RNA duplexes that interact with RBPs in vivo. This revealed the existence of long-range RNA loops, which regulate mRNA stability and translation. Together, I will discuss how protein-RNA interactions enable the diverse and unique mechanisms for regulating gene expression in the brain.
