Pre-mRNA processing is an essential feature of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. Coordination of gene expression and cell cycle progression is critical for cellular health. Nuclear speckles contain pre-mRNA processing factors, many of which remain to be characterized with regard to their specific nuclear functions and human disease relevance. Nearly 200 mRNA processing proteins have been identified, yet little is known about how these factors assemble into functional complexes within human cell nuclei. My lab discovered that two related mRNA processing proteins, Btf and TRAP150, have critical roles in cell cycle regulation. Research in the Bubulya laboratory has define mechanistic functions for Btf, TRAP150 and SON in fundamental cellular processes including nuclear speckle organization, gene regulation, chromatin condensation and cell cycle control.
