Sentences with phrase «rna stress granules»

This RNA binding protein, upregulated upon B cell activation, post-transcriptionally regulates components of the DNA damage repair machinery, such as p53, silencing the mRNA and keeping the transcripts captive in RNA stress granules.

But when cells undergo stress — anything from heat to starvation or infection — proteins and ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules can clump into stress granules, which are free of enclosing membranes and often form small globs akin to hair gel suspended in a tub of water.

The scientists are now modifying the iPOLYMER system so that the hydrogels integrate RNA molecules into their structures, making them better mimics of the stress granules seen in human cells.

Another part of the stress response takes remaining untranslated cellular RNAs and gloms them together into structures called stress granules.

Indeed, we have shown that Sec16, a protein related to ER exit sites and protein transport, is also required in stress granule formation specifically during amino - acid starvation because it binds a modified form of the RNA binding protein Rasputin and stabilises it (9).

The work focused on a class of RNA granules called stress granules.

Proteins found in stress granules include RNA - binding proteins like TDP - 43, FUS, hnRNPA1 and hnRNPA2B1 that regulate gene activity.
