Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic mRNAs are exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm as complex mRNA-protein particles (mRNPs), and translocation through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is accompanied by extensive structural changes of the mRNP. We have tested the hypothesis that the DEAD-box ATPase Dbp5p is required for such an mRNP rearrangement. In dbp5 mutant cells, the mRNA export receptor Mex67p accumulates on mRNA. This...
