AI Article Synopsis

  • Nuclear messenger RNA (mRNA) export is really important for cells to stay alive, especially when they're facing stress.
  • When cells are stressed, they stop sending out a lot of mRNA and focus on sending out just the ones that help deal with stress.
  • This review talks about how mRNA is exported from the nucleus, how cells adapt to stress by selecting specific mRNAs, and mentions that there’s still more to learn about these processes.

Article Abstract

Nuclear messenger RNA (mRNA) export is vital for cell survival under both physiological and stress conditions. To cope with stress, cells block bulk mRNA export while selectively exporting stress-specific mRNAs. Under physiological conditions, nuclear adaptor proteins recruit the mRNA exporter to the mRNA for export. By contrast, during stress conditions, the mRNA exporter is likely directly recruited to stress-specific mRNAs at their transcription sites to facilitate selective mRNA export. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of nuclear mRNA export. Importantly, we explore insights into the mechanisms that block bulk mRNA export and facilitate transcript-specific mRNA export under stress, highlighting the gaps that still need to be filled.
