ABSTRACT This paper is a review of the data concerning the nature, structural organization, properties and biological significance of the particles, containing mRNA and pre-mRNA (precursor of mRNA), i. e., (1) nuclear pre-mRNA-containing particles (2) free cytoplasmic mRNP (ribonucleoproteins), or informosomes (3) polysome-bound mRNP. Some new data on the comparison of nuclear and cytoplasmic particles, the nature of poly A-containing structures, involvement of informofers in Adenovirusspecific RNA transfer are presented. The general scheme of mRNA transport from nucleus to cytoplasm is discussed.

Functional Features

AbstractPosttranscriptional gene regulation includes mRNA transport, localization, translation, and regulation of mRNA stability. CPEB (cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding) family proteins bind to specific sites within the 3′-untranslated region and mediate poly- and deadenylation of transcripts, activating or repressing protein synthesis. As part of ribonucleoprotein complexes, the CPEB proteins participate in mRNA transport and localization to different sub-cellular compartments. The CPEB proteins are evolutionarily conserved and have similar functions in vertebrates and invertebrates. In the nervous system, the CPEB proteins are involved in cell division, neural development, learning, and memory. Here we consider the functional features of these proteins in the nervous system of phylogenetically distant organisms: Drosophila, a well-studied model, and mammals. Disruption of the CPEB proteins functioning is associated with various pathologies, such as autism spectrum disorder and brain cancer. At the same time, CPEB gene regulation can provide for a recovery of the brain function in patients with fragile X syndrome and Huntington's disease, making the CPEB genes promising targets for gene therapy.

Adenovirus E1b

Late in adenovirus infection, large amounts of viral mRNA accumulate while cell mRNA transport and translation decrease. Viruses deleted in the E1B region of type 5 adenovirus do not produce the same outcome: (i) viral mRNA synthesis by the mutants is normal, delivery to the cytoplasm is 50 to 75% of normal, but steady-state levels of viral mRNA are decreased 10-fold; (ii) cell mRNA synthesis and transport continue normally in the mutant virus-infected cell; and (iii) translation of preexisting cell mRNA which is disrupted in wild-type infection remains normal in mutant-virus-infected cells. Thus E1B proteins are required for accumulation of virus mRNA and for induction of the failure of host cell mRNA transport and translation. If a single function is involved, by inference the transport and some aspect of translation of mRNAs could be linked.
