摘要
Current models for the export of messenger RNA share the notion that the highly abundant class of nuclear RNA-binding proteins - the hnRNP proteins - have a key role in exporting mRNA. But recent studies have led to a new understanding of several non-hnRNP proteins, including SR proteins and the conserved mRNA export factor ALY, which are recruited to the mRNA during pre-mRNA splicing. These studies, together with older work on hnRNP particles and assembly of the spliceosome, lead us to a new view of mRNA export. In our model, the non-hnRNP factors form a splicing-dependent mRNP complex that specifically targets mature mRNA for export, while hnRNP proteins retain introns in the nucleus. A machinery that is conserved between yeast and higher eukaryotes functions to export the mRNA.
