Research interests
The role of mRNA trafficking in myelin and synapse formation.Our laboratory studies the mechanism and regulation of mRNA transport, localization, and translation in oligodendrocytes and neurons. An 11-nucleotide sequence first identified in the 3’UTR of myelin basic protein, a major and essential component of myelin, is also present in several neuronal mRNAs implicated in synaptic plasticity. This sequence is recognized by the protein hnRNP A2 which in turn binds to TOG (tumor overexpressed gene) protein. The function of TOG may be to assemble mRNAs whose proteins function in an interdependent manner, in the same complex or RNA granule so that their translation can be regulated coordinately.
