ATAXIN

The RNA-binding protein Ataxin-2 binds to and stabilizes numerous mRNA sequences, together with that of the transactive response DNA binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43). Ataxin-2 is moreover concerned in a number of processes requiring translation corresponding to germline formation, long run habituation and circadian rhythm formation. Nevertheless, it has but to be unambiguously demonstrated that Ataxin-2 is definitely concerned in activating the interpretation of its goal mRNAs. Right here we offer direct proof from a polysome profile evaluation displaying that Ataxin-2 enhances translation of … Continue reading "Direct evidence that Ataxin-2 is a translational activator mediating cytoplasmic polyadenylation"
