Pshennikova mRNPs: From Informosomes to Stress Granules Bach Institute of Biochemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119071 Russia*voronina_a@mail.ru Eukaryotic cytoplasmic mRNA-containing ribonucleotides (mRNPs), which were named informosomes when discovered, have intensely been investigated as various mRNP granules in the past decade. The review considers the structure and functioning of mRNPs. The mRNA status depends on spectrum of RNA-bound proteins and changes in response to signals from signaling pathways. informosomes, mRNP, p-bodies, stress granules, germinal granules, neuronal granules |
