摘要: TDP-43 regulates cellular levels of Cajal bodies (CBs) that provide platforms for the assembly and RNA modifications small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Alterations these snRNPs may be linked to pathogenesis amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, specific roles CBs remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate CB localization four UG-rich motif-bearing C/D-box-containing body-specific RNAs (C/D scaRNAs; i.e. scaRNA2, 7, 9 28) through direct binding scaRNAs. enhances a CB-localizing protein, WD40-repeat protein 79 (WDR79), subpopulation scaRNA2 scaRNA28; remaining population C/D scaRNAs was localized CB-like structures even with WDR79 depletion. Depletion TDP-43, contrast, shifted scaRNAs, mainly into nucleolus, as well destabilizing reduced site-specific 2'-O-methylation U1 U2 snRNAs, including at 70A snRNA and, 19G, 25G, 47U 61C snRNA. Collectively, suggest have separate determining subsets H/ACA
