RNA-Binding Proteins in Dinoflagellates.

ABSTRACT: The described features of dinoflagellate gene expression indicate the predominance of post-transcriptional and translational regulation over transcriptional control. These microorganisms also exhibit extensive RNA editing and distinctive splicing characteristics. This regulatory landscape underscores the central role of RNA-binding proteins in dinoflagellate biology. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on major RNA-binding protein groups identified or bioinformatically annotated in dinoflagellates, including RNA recognition motif domain-containing proteins, Sm and Sm-like family, KH domain-containing proteins, zinc-finger proteins, and Pumilio family proteins, S1 domain-containing and cold shock domain-containing proteins, DEAD/DEAH-box RNA helicases, and pentatricopeptide repea
