Messenger Ribonucleoprotein (Mrnp) Complexes: Proteomic and Functional Analysis
… identify the detailed molecular mechanisms for RNA transport, we developed an in vivo functional assay and went on to provide evidence that dFMRP and associated mRNAs are actively transported by molecular motors. We were able to not only identify the motors that are required for the movement of …

Translocation of a Semiflexible Polymer Through a Nanopore
<p>The transport of a biomolecule through a nanopore occurs in many biological functions such as, DNA or RNA transport across nuclear pores and the translocation of proteins across the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum. In addition to the biological processes, it has potential applications in …

Lysosomes and Ribonucleoprotein Dynamics in Neurons
… lysosomal surface. ANXA11 is also a component of RNA granules, and its bipartite domain organization allows it to act as a tether between RNA granules (N-terminal phase separation) and the lysosomal surface (C-terminal phospholipid binding). We find that ANXA11 enables RNA granule hitchhiking on …

A Proteomic Approach to Elucidating the Function of Picornavirus 2A Protease
… metabolism, protein synthesis, nuclear and RNA transport across the nuclear pore complex, apoptosis, and innate immune responses. Picornaviruses are the most dominant human disease-causing viruses and present an excellent clinical target for research studies into their molecular mechanisms. …

Understanding compound-induced histopathology in rat liver using gene expression network methods
… This found underlying biological terms such as RNA transport, ribosome biogenesis and translation as well as toxicity-specific terms (aminoacyl t-RNA synthesis in metabolic processes for the histopathological observations of glycogen accumulation, cellular infiltrate, hepatocellular necrosis and …

New Roles in RNA Stability and Transcription for the RNA Export Protein, REF/Aly
Pre-mRNA processing consists of a series of events including capping, splicing, and polyadenylation, which occur co-transcriptionally, are interdependent, and are coupled to other steps in gene expression including transcription and RNA export. For example, in mammalian cells the TREX …

Computational analysis of regulatory networks using genome-scale data
… regulatory networks respond to the external environment, optimizing the cell at a given time for survival in this environment. Thus a yeast cell, finding itself in a sugar solution, will turn on genes to make enzymes that process the sugar to alcohol. Central dogma of molecular biology …

The role of the RNA-binding protein FUS in axonal organisation and disease
The role of the RNA-binding protein FUS in axonal organisation and disease In this thesis, I discuss the role of the RNA-binding protein Fused in sarcoma (FUS) in axonal organisation and disease. FUS aggregates in forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and …

Biochemical and Structural Analysis of the Nucleoporin Nup214 and its Involvement in mRNA Export
… sense of the architecture and regulation of the mRNA export machinery at the NPC, I set out to biochemically and structurally characterize Nup214. In this thesis, I present the crystal structure of the human Nup214 N-terminal domain at 1.65 Å resolution. The structure reveals a sevenbladed …

Identification of hepatitis C virus core protein residues critical for the interaction with the cellular DEAD-Box Helicase DDX3 and their functional relevance
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae and infects approximately 170 million people worldwide. Unlike other known RNA viruses, HCV causes a persistent infection in the majority of infected people and can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular …
