The hnRNP family: insights into their role in health and disease
TLDR
This review will discuss the current knowledge about the different hnRNP family members, focusing on their structural and functional divergence, and highlight their involvement in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, and the potential to develop RNA-based therapies.Abstract:
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) represent a large family of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that contribute to multiple aspects of nucleic acid metabolism including alternative splicing, mRNA stabilization, and transcriptional and translational regulation Many hnRNPs share general features, but differ in domain composition and functional properties This review will discuss the current knowledge about the different hnRNP family members, focusing on their structural and functional divergence Additionally, we will highlight their involvement in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, and the potential to develop RNA-based therapiesread more

Messenger-RNA-binding proteins and the messages they carry.
TL;DR: From sites of transcription in the nucleus to the outreaches of the cytoplasm, messenger RNAs are associated with RNA-binding proteins that communicate crucial information to the translation machinery for the surveillance of nonsense mutations and for mRNA localization and translation.
