Characterizing unique features of prion-like domains recruited to stress granules
… of assembly-propensity, where localization to stress granules is modulated by differences in residue composition of the domains. To measure the different degrees of assembly propensity of PrLDs, we developed a novel means of quantitative image analysis to determine the enrichment of PrLDs in …

STRESS GRANULES MODULATE SYK TO CAUSE MICROGLIAL DYSFUNCTION IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
… our lab indicates that SYK can associate with stress granules, ribonucleoprotein particles that form in stressed cells and contain inactive translation initiation complexes. I found that microglial cell lines and primary mouse brain microglia, when stressed by exposure to sodium arsenite or …

Sam68, Stress Granules, and translational control of HIV-1 nef mRNA
… to form a macromolecular structure called stress granules (SG). In addition, we demonstrated that these variants bound to nef mRNA in a sequence-specific manner. Furthermore, we showed that these variants co-localized with nef mRNA in SG. Importantly, we validated these findings in the …

Parallels and Divergences in Multisystem Proteinopathy Genes: Stress Granules, Autophagy, and Myogenic Deficits
… this, we examined three areas of interest: stress granules, autophagy, and myogenesis. The currently identified roster of MSP genes have several structural and functional commonalities which fall into two categories: LC3B-intracting domain containing autophagy adaptors (SQSTM1, VCP, OPTN) …

Role of Syk in the regulation of cytoskeleton and stress granules in breast cancer
… partners also found to be recruited to stress granules. Treatment of cells with inducers of stress granule formation leads to the recruitment of Syk to these protein-RNA complexes. This recruitment requires the phosphorylation of Syk on tyrosine and results in the phosphorylation of …

TDP-43 Is Directed to Stress Granules by Sorbitol, a Novel Physiological Osmotic and Oxidative Stressor
… suggests that TDP-43 associates with cytoplasmic stress granules, which are transient structures that form in response to stress. In this study, we establish sorbitol as a novel stressor that directs TDP-43 to stress granules in Hek293T cells and primary cultured glia. We quantify TDP-43 …

Translational Repression of G3BP in Cancer and Germ Cells Suppresses Stress Granules and Enhances Stress Tolerance
… and potential as therapeutic targets in disease. Stress granules (SG) are membrane-less ribonucleoprotein condensates that form in response to various stress stimuli via phase separation. SG act as a protective mechanism to cope with acute stress, but persistent SG have cytotoxic effects that are …

The NTF2L Domain Is a Date Hub That Interacts with SLiMs to Regulate Assembly of Stress Granules
… take a prototypical biomolecu- lar condensate, stress granule (SG), as an example to illustrate how the interactions between SLiMs and date hubs contribute to the interaction networks that drive biomolecular con-densation.</p> <p>We firstly confirmed that the NTF2L domain of G3BP1 protein, the …

Modulation of Stress Granules formation: Role of mGlu5 receptor and FMRP and implications for pathophysiology of Fragile X Syndrome
… role of FMRP in mRNA metabolism as component of stress granules (SGs) has been identified. FMRP seems to lead mRNAs in SGs upon cellular stress, during which protein synthesis is blocked. SGs are ribonucleoproteic aggregates containing translation initiation components and RNA binding proteins, …

Ruolo della TDP-43 nella formazione dei granuli da stress nella Sclerosi Laterale Amiotrofica
… Recent studies suggest that TDP-43 may regulates stress granules dynamics that are cytoplasmic structures composed of non-translating messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) that rapidly aggregate in cells exposed to adverse environmental conditions. Stress granules function in part to triage RNA and …

The Interaction Between Host G3BP and Viral Nucleocapsid Protein Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Replication
… proteins that promote condensation to form stress granules in response to various cellular stresses, including viral infection. G3BP1/2 are prominent interactors of the nucleocapsid (N) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, the functional …

Mechanisms of dynein-based mRNA transport processes in human cells
… motor. As FXR1 and FXR2 are highly enriched in stress granules – large RNPs that sequester mRNAs when cells receive an insult – this thesis also explores the role of the dynein-BICD2 complex in the assembly of these structures. For this purpose, biochemical assays, as well as fixed and live cell …

Investigating pathological mechanisms in the Thy1-hTDP43 ALS mouse model
… common link, causing the generation of cellular stress. The generation of cellular stress induces the activation of many protective mechanisms, such as the formation of stress granules (SGs). SGs are typically transient structures that sequester translationally-stalled mRNA, RNA-binding proteins, …

Characterization of the instability elements present within the 3' UTR of the glutaminase mRNA in WKPT kidney cells
… phospho-eIF2α and ζ-cryst may co-localize in stress granules. The treatment of WKPT-ζ+ cells with pH 6.9 medium activated the ER stress signaling pathway and resulted in the initial, but transient, association of ζ-cryst with stress granules. The completed experiments demonstrated the …

An investigation of proteoforms in health and disease using peptide-level readouts
… in response to osmotic, heat, and oxidative stresses. We identify shared and stress-type specific phosphorylation signatures that align with previously reported data. We also identify phosphorylation sites on proteins known to localize to stress granules, providing a candidate list of stress …

mRNA localization in Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis
… that many well-studied mRNA foci, such as germ granules, P-bodies, and stress granules, do not follow the lock-and-key principle of stoichiometric complex formation, but are actually phase-separated, biomolecular condensates. Due to their liquid-like nature, biomolecular condensates can …

Kap-[beta]2 Recognition of Cargoes Involved in Neurodegenerative/Neurodevelopmental Diseases
… mutations cause mislocalization of the cargo to stress granules in the cytoplasm. I performed biophysical and structural studies and found that the HNRNPH2 has a new type of epitope not observed before. Furthermore, I observed that this new epitope is essential for HNRNPH2 recognition. These …
