Coilin Mutation in Zebrafish Impairs the Innate Immune Zebrafish
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Coilin is a nuclear protein known for its roles in assembling the Cajal Body and participating in the biogenesis of ribonucleoproteins. We have uncovered novel functions for coilin in promoting microRNA biogenesis and the phosphorylation/SUMOylation of various proteins, through which we have observed a role for coilin in responding to stress signals. Coilin has also been found to participate in the stress response in plants through the regulated expression of immunity genes and activation of defense mechanisms. In this study, we further investigated this role of coilin in regulating the immune response by applying transcriptomic analyses to examine the response to lipopolysaccharide-mediated stress in coilin-depleted human cells and coilin mutant zebrafish embryos. Our results indicate a vital function for coilin in regulating the expression of immunity-related genes and establish a conserved role for vertebrate coilin in the promotion of the innate immune response across humans and zebrafish.
