Proteins that bind to each mRNA may affect the latter's abundance and location in the cell and how well ribosomes will translate that mRNA into a protein. Hence, mRNA-binding proteins (mRBPs) represent obvious control points in gene expression. Surprisingly, little is known about mRBPs and cell-cycle progression.

Memory formation involves a complex interplay of molecular and cellular processes, including synaptic plasticity mechanisms such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). These processes rely on activity-dependent gene expression and local protein synthesis at synapses. A central unresolved question in neuroscience is how memories can be stably maintained over time, despite the transient nature of the proteins involved in their initial encoding.

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression and RNA processing during mammalian oocyte development. SERPINE1 mRNA-binding protein 1 (SERBP1), a conserved RNA-binding protein (RBP), exhibits prominent expression in the female reproductive system and throughout oogenesis. Conditional deletion of Serbp1 using oocyte-specific Zp3/Gdf9-Cre drivers resulted in arrested oocyte growth, female infertility, and failure of blastocyst formation from two-cell embryos.

Meiotic maturation of vertebrate oocytes occurs in the near-absence of transcription. Thus, female fertility relies on timely translational activation of maternal transcripts stockpiled in full-grown prophase-I-arrested oocytes. However, how expression of these mRNAs is suppressed to maintain the long-lasting prophase-I arrest remains mysterious.

The present study aims to investigate the impact of glucose-dependent control of , , , , , and gene expression in U87MG glioblastoma cells in response to the inhibition of both enzymatic activities of signaling protein ERN1. The U87MG glioblastoma cells with inhibited both enzymatic activities of ERN1 (endoribonuclease and protein kinase; dnERN1) were used.
