Nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling of RNA-binding factors: mRNA buffering and beyond.
2022
Gene expression is a highly regulated process that adapts RNAs and proteins content to the cellular context. Under steady-state conditions, mRNA homeostasis is robustly maintained by tight controls that act on both nuclear transcription and cytoplasmic mRNA stability. In recent years, it has been revealed that several RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that perform functions in mRNA decay can move to the nucleus and regulate transcription. The RBPs involved in transcription can also travel to the cytoplasm and regulate mRNA degradation and/or translation. The multifaceted functions of these shuttling nucleo-cytoplasm RBPs have raised the possibility that they can act as mRNA metabolism coordinator…

Evidence for a novel cytoplasmic processing event in ribosome maturation in the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus
2010
In this work, we demonstrate the existence of a cytoplasmic processing step, never before described, involving both the pre-ribosomal subunits in the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. Northern-blot hybridization, primer extension, S1 mapping experiments and in situ hybridizations allowed us to demonstrate that cytoplasmic processed particles are successively re-imported into the nucleus, where maturation of their RNAs is completed prior to being exported to the cytoplasm. Our findings lead to the proposal of a new model of ribosome maturation and shuttling. Moreover, preliminary data from our laboratory suggest that the maturation pathway we propose in P. lividus may not be unique to the se…
Synthesis and Characterization of Isotactic Poly(1-hexene)/Branched Polyethylene Multiblock Copolymer via Chain Shuttling Polymerization Technique
2018
Understanding from the underlying mechanism of chain shuttling polymerization (CSP) is limited due to scarceness of successful reports and incompetence of traditional characterization techniques to distinguish blocky structures. Here, a simple synthesis approach for production of an isotactic poly(1-hexene)/branched polyethylene multiblock copolymer from a 1-hexene monomer is presented. Resulting copolymers can be easily characterized because of their solubility in most organic solvents. This novel blocky architecture is synthesized using ansa-ethylenebis(1-η5-indenyl)zirconium dichloride and α-diimine nickel(II) bromide catalysts. While the former participates in 1,2-enchainment of monomer…
