Tethered interactions between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other membrane-bound organelles allow for efficient transfer of ions and/or macromolecules and provide a platform for organelle fission. Here, we describe an unconventional interface

Stress granules (SGs) are membraneless organelles that form in eukaryotic cells after stress exposure [1] (reviewed in [2,��3,��4]). Following translation inhibition, polysome disassembly releases 48S preinitiation complexes (PICs). mRNA,

Stress granules comprised of RNA (red) and protein assemblies (green) formed in part through RNA-RNA interactions. A recent study from ���������� Boulder researchers shows that cells must actively work to keep sticky molecules, known as ribonucleic acid (

Stress granules (SGs) are ribonucleoprotein (RNP) assemblies that form in eukaryotic cells as a result of limited translation in response to stress. SGs form during viral infection and are thought to promote the antiviral response since many viruses

The proper regulation of mRNA processing, localization, translation, and degradation occurs on mRNPs. However, the global principles of mRNP organization are poorly understood. Although much information remains to be discovered, we utilize existing

RNA viruses are a major source of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases around the world. We developed a method to identify RNA viruses that is based on the fact that RNA viruses produce double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) while replicating.

Toxic protein assemblies, or "amyloids," long considered to be key drivers in many neuromuscular diseases, also play a beneficial role in the development of healthy muscle tissue, University of Colorado Boulder researchers have found. "Ours is the

With approval Sept. 14 by the Board of Regents, the University of Colorado has introduced seven newly designated distinguished professors, six of whom are affiliated with the ���������� Boulder campus. They are Natalie Ahn, James Anaya, Elizabeth Fenn, John
