Abstract:
As part of gene exptession within the cell, the regulation of mRNA stability, translation and transport is facilitated by trans-acting proteins that bind to cis-acting signals, present mainly within the 3'UTR. These processes can all contribute to the localisation of a transcript, vital in the development of many eukaryotic cell types, including oocytes, fibroblasts and epithelial cells. The majority of mRNA locahsation studies have concerned mRNAs encoding cytoplasmic proteins. Recent studies, however, have also shown that mRNAs encoding membrane and secreted proteins can also be localised. R

Abstract:
The microtubule-associated protein tau forms pathological neuronal filaments in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders, known collectively as tauopathies. Previous studies in transgenic mouse models of AD suggest that reducing tau expression may be safe and beneficial for the prevention or treatment of AD and possibly other tauopathies. As a first step toward identifying novel therapeutic strategies to reduce tau levels, the studies presented in this dissertation aim to investigate the role of the human tau 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) in regulating tau expression.

Abstract:
CHOP, or Gadd153, is a 29 kDa protein that plays a pivotal role in the mediation of cellular stress-induced cell death. The expression of the gene encoding CHOP/Gadd153 is regulated at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Compared to transcription, the regulation of Chop gene expression at the post-transcriptional level is much less understood. In this study, the role played by the 3’-untranslated region of CHOP mRNA (3UTRChop) in mediating mRNA stability was examined. A reporter plasmid was constructed so that the mRNA expressed has 3UTRChop as its 3’-untranslated region

Abstract:
A cell integrates mitogenic signals received at the plasma membrane with intracellular biochemical changes to direct the events of cell division. Oocytes from Xenopus laevis offer a system that allows molecular dissection of pathways controlling cell growth and division in response to extracellular cues. Xenopus oocytes, physiologically arrested in a G2 like state, respond to the hormone progesterone to reinitiate meiosis and mature into a fertilizable egg. Signals received at the oocyte membrane induce translation of dormant maternal mRNAs that not only drive meiotic entry but also maintain t

Abstract:
In most metazoans, early embryogenesis is controlled by the translational regulation of maternally supplied mRNA. Sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins play an important role in regulating early embryogenesis, yet their specificities and regulatory targets are largely unknown. To understand how these RNA-binding proteins select their targets, my research focused on the C. elegans CCCH-type tandem zinc finger protein POS-1. Embryos lacking maternally supplied POS-1 die prior to gastrulation, and exhibit defects in the specification of pharyngeal, intestinal, and germline precursor cells. To

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>分子醫學研究所<br>93<br>Post-transcriptional control, which includes determining transcript stability, level of translation, mRNA targeting, poly (A) shortening and alternative polyadenylation, has been shown to regulate protein expression via interaction of untranslated regions (5’ and 3’UTR) with regulatory proteins. Recent studies reveal the power of 3’UTR in controlling cell–fate determination, location and timing of cell division, and shaping the expression pattern during development. Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is an autocrine/paracrine growth factor that plays important
