The 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine cap structure is found on the 5’ end of small nuclear RNAs and small nucleolar RNAs. Initially, these RNA molecules are capped with 7-monomethylguanosine (m7G) which is then methylated by the trimethylguanosine synthase enzyme to form 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine. The synthesis of 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine occurs in the cytoplasm and is an important marker for nuclear localization of RNA molecules. Capping of RNAs is an important requirement for RNA transport and splicing processes. Uncapped RNAs are rapidly degraded by the 5′ exoribonuclease enzyme. 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine capping may play a role in the expression of viral RNAs.

The Cajal body (CB) is an evolutionarily conserved nuclear subcompartment, enriched in components of the RNA processing machinery. The composition and dynamics of CBs in cells of living organisms is not well understood. Here we establish the zebrafish embryo as
Neuronal degeneration in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by reduced expression of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein. The SMN protein is ubiquitously expressed and is present both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus where it localizes
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme typically required for sustained cell proliferation. Although both telomerase activity and the telomerase catalytic protein component, TbTERT, have been identified in the eukaryotic pathogen Trypanosoma brucei, the RNA molecule that dictates telomere synthesis remains unknown.
Cajal bodies are nuclear organelles involved in the nuclear phase of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) biogenesis. In this study, we identified the splicing factor TCERG1 as a coilin-associated factor that is essential for Cajal body integrity. Knockdown of TCERG1 disrupts
The telomerase holoenzyme is critical for maintaining eukaryotic genome integrity. In addition to a reverse transcriptase and an RNA template, telomerase contains additional proteins that protect the telomerase RNA and promote holoenzyme assembly. Here we report that the methyl phosphate
