The THO complex is a key component in the co-transcriptional formation of messenger ribonucleoparticles that are competent to be exported from the nucleus, yet its precise function is unknown. A recent study in BMC Biology on the role of the THOC5 subunit in cell physiology and mouse development provides new clues to the role of the THO complex in cell differentiation.
THO复合体是信使核糖核蛋白颗粒共转录形成过程中的关键组成部分,这些颗粒能够从细胞核输出,但其确切功能尚不清楚。《BMC生物学》最近一项关于THOC5亚基在细胞生理学和小鼠发育中作用的研究,为THO复合体在细胞分化中的作用提供了新线索。
