DDX3 Modulates Neurite Development via Translationally Activating an RNA Regulon Involved in Rac1 Activation
21 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The RNA helicase DDX3 is a component of neuronal granules, and its gene mutations are linked to intellectual disability (ID). Here we demonstrate that DDX3 depletion in neurons impairs neurite development by downregulating Rac1 level and activation. Moreover, DDX3 activates the translation of functionally coherent mRNAs involved in Rac1 activation including Rac1 Among the DDX3 regulon, Prkaca encodes...
