Abstract:The RNA-binding protein PURA is implicated in the rare, monogenetic, neurodevelopmental disorder PURA Syndrome. However, very little is known about the affected molecular pathways. PURA has been reported to bind DNA and RNA and to be connected to different cellular functions. Here, we show that PURA predominantly resides in the cytoplasm, where it binds to thousands of transcripts. Many of these transcripts change abundance in response to PURA depletion, in parts reflected in altered protein expression levels.… Show more
