En la complexitat dels éssers vius intervenen propietats físico-químiques del medi cel·lular

Un treball dirigit per Eduardo Eyras, investigador ICREA i responsable del Grup de Regulació Genòmica del GRIB (IMIM-UPF) mostra com les formes o estructures secundàries d'ARN regulen l'splicing o empalmament alternatiu en cèl·lules de llevat (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) emprades com a model experimental.

S'ha comprovat que aquestes conformacions secundàries de l'ARN estan modificades per propietats físiques i químiques intrínseques de la cèl·lula, com ara la temperatura i el pH.

RNAs associate with proteins to form highly complex and dynamic ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes. The goal of this Marie Curie ITN is first to bring together existing labs from different discipline, to join forces and tackle key questions in the field, and second, to produce highly-trained young researchers that will be sensitized to RNA and possess a multidisciplinary approach to research.
