Abstract Several conserved nuclear RNA binding proteins ( sut-1, sut-2, and parn-2 ) control tau aggregation toxicity in C. elegans , mice, human cells. MSUT2 protein normally resides speckles, membraneless organelles composed of phase-separated RNAs RNA-binding that mediate critical steps mRNA processing including splicing. We used pathological tissue transgenic mice to identify Alzheimer’s disease-specific cellular changes related speckles. observed speckle constituent scaffold SRRM2 is mislocalized accumulates cytoplasmic lesions AD brain tissue. Furthermore, progression tauopathy accompanied by increasing mislocalization from the neuronal nucleus soma. In tissue, associates with increased severity deposition. These findings suggest potential mechanisms which impacts function diverse organisms ranging humans. Future translational studies aimed at restoring homeostasis may provide novel candidate therapeutic targets for pharmacological intervention.

Abstract Proper subcellular localization is crucial for the functioning of biomacromolecules, including proteins and RNAs. Nuclear transport a fundamental cellular process that regulates many macromolecules within nuclear or cytoplasmic compartments. In humans, approximately 60 are involved in transport, nucleoporins form membrane-embedded pore complexes, karyopherins cargoes through these Ran system ensure directed rapid transport. Many play additional essential roles mitosis, biomolecular condensation, gene transcription. Dysregulation linked to major human diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, viral infections. Selinexor (KPT-330), an inhibitor targeting export factor XPO1 (also known CRM1), was approved 2019 treat two types blood cancers, dozens clinical trials ongoing. This review summarizes three decades research data this field but focuses on structure function individual from recent studies, providing cutting-edge holistic view role health disease. In-depth knowledge rapidly evolving has potential bring new insights into biology, pathogenic mechanisms, therapeutic approaches.

Complex, multistep biochemical reactions that routinely take place in our cells require high concentrations of enzymes, substrates, and other structural components to proceed efficiently typically chemical environments can inhibit their immediate vicinity. Eukaryotic solve these problems by restricting such into diffusion‐restricted compartments within the cell called organelles be separated from environment a lipid membrane, or membrane‐less form through liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). One most easily noticeable earliest discovered organelle is nucleus, which harbors genetic material where transcription RNA polymerases produces messenger RNAs plethora noncoding RNAs, turn are required for translation mRNAs cytoplasm. The interior nucleus not uniform soup biomolecules rather consists variety bodies, as nucleolus, nuclear speckles (NS), paraspeckles, Cajal histone locus more. In this review, we will focus on NS with an emphasis recent developments including own findings about formation two large IDR‐rich proteins SON SRRM2.

Abstract SRRM2 is a nuclear-speckle marker containing multiple disordered domains, whose dysfunction associated with several human diseases. Using mainly EGFP-SRRM2 knock-in HEK293T cells, we show that forms biomolecular condensates satisfying most hallmarks of liquid-liquid phase separation, including spherical shape, dynamic rearrangement, coalescence and concentration dependence supported by in vitro experiments. Live-cell imaging shows organizes nuclear speckles along the cell cycle. As bona-fide splicing factor present spliceosome structures, deficiency induces skipping cassette exons short introns weak splice sites, tending to change large protein domains. In THP-1 myeloid-like depletion compromises viability, upregulates differentiation markers, sensitizes cells anti-leukemia drugs. FES isoform attenuates innate inflammatory responses, MUC1 isoforms undergo shedding oncogenic properties. We conclude acts as scaffold organize speckles, regulating alternative immunity homeostasis.

Nuclear speckles are dynamic membraneless bodies located in the cell nucleus. They harbor RNAs and proteins, many of which splicing factors, that together display complex biophysical properties dictating nuclear speckle formation maintenance. Although these were discovered decades ago, only recently has in-depth genomic analysis begun to unravel their essential functions modulation gene activity. Major advancements mapping techniques combined with microscopy approaches have enabled insights into roles may play enhancing expression, how positioning specific landmarks can regulate expression RNA processing. Some studies drawn a link between disease. Certain maladies either involve directly or dictate localization reorganization factors. This is most striking during viral infection, as viruses alter entire architecture highjack host machinery. As discussed this Review, represent fascinating target study not reveal links positioning, genome subcompartments activity, but also potential for therapeutics.

Pathological tau aggregation is a primary neuropathological feature of many neurodegenerative diseases. Intriguingly, despite the common presence aggregates in these diseases affected brain regions, clinical symptoms, and morphology, conformation, isoform ratio present varies widely. The tau-mediated disease mechanisms that drive are still unknown. Tau interactome studies critically important for understanding tauopathy. They reveal interacting partners define pathways, interactions provide potential insight into cellular environment protein during pathological aggregation. Here we combined analysis 12 human tissue, cell culture models rodent disease. Together, identified 2084 proteins interact with tissue 1152 Our revealed consistent enrichment between involved RNA binding, ribosome, proteasome function.
