Developing rat brain as well as cultured astrocytes contain H1° mRNA-protein complexes
2015
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate intracellular transport, pre-localization, stability, and translation of mRNAs [1]. We previously identified a set of proteins which interact with mRNAs encoding H1° and H3.3 histones [2-5]. All these proteins are probably part of a ribonucleoprotein particle [6]. Here we report the results of a more detailed study on the expression and intracellular localization of some of these RBPs, such as hnRNP K and A1, and Hsc70, during rat brain development and in cultured rat astrocytes. We also investigated the presence in the complexes of PIPPin/CSD-C2 protein. Affinity chromatography was performed as already described [6]. Preparation of total lysates and cel…
Expression and intracellular localization of H1° mRNA-containing complexes in developing rat brain and astrocytes
2015
INTRODUCTION: Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression relies on RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which regulate intracellular transport, stability, and translation of mRNAs [1]. We previously identified a set of proteins which interact with mRNAs encoding H1° and H3.3 histones [2-5]. All these proteins are probably part of a ribonucleoprotein particle [6]. Here we report more details on the expression and intracellular localization of some of these RBPs, during rat brain development and in isolated rat astrocytes. METHODS: Affinity chromatography was performed as already described [6]. Preparation of total lysates and cellular sub-fractions was done as reported in [3]. Possible co-lo…
