Escaping the Nuclear Confines: Signal-Dependent Pre-mRNA Splicing in Anucleate Platelets

Abstract: Platelets are specialized hemostatic cells that circulate in the blood as anucleate cytoplasts. We report that platelets unexpectedly possess a functional spliceosome, a complex that processes pre-mRNAs in the nuclei of other cell types. Spliceosome components are present in the cytoplasm of human megakaryocytes and in proplatelets that extend from megakaryocytes. Primary human platelets also contain essential spliceosome factors including small nuclear RNAs, splicing proteins, and endogenous pre-mRNAs. In res… Show more

“…The presence of G-rich nontemplate strands can stabilize R-loops by folding into G-quadruplexes and further contribute to double-strand break formation (39,41). Knockdown of RNA splicing and transport factors has been associated with increased R-loop formation and DNA damage (42,43). Similarly, we found that splicing inhibition by the small molecule pladienolide B caused accumulation of γ-H2A.X in a time-dependent manner (Fig.…”

“…Em resumo, esta nova função plaquetária de sintetizar proteí-nas ocorre por um repertório pós-transcrição herdado dos megacariócitos, consistente com o fato de que as plaquetas são células anucleadas e não transcrevem mRNAs (com exceção da transcrição mitocondrial) 3 .…”

“…O diferencial atribuído à síntese de proteínas específicas por plaquetas é que o processo ocorre em plaquetas ativadas e não em plaquetas em repouso, ou seja, a tradução em plaquetas é sinal dependente 1,3,26 . O primeiro exemplo de que esse processo ocorre em plaquetas foi a síntese de BCl-3 (B cell lymphoma-3) por plaquetas humanas ativadas, tal processo atua sobre o controle especializado de tradução por uma quinase de mamífero mTOR (mammalian target of Rapamycin).…”
