title: A genomic glance at the components of the mRNA export machinery in Plasmodium falciparum.
abstract: Nuclear export of mRNAs is one of the steps critically important for gene expression and different steps of mRNA processing are linked to the export of the mRNA out of the nucleus. This coupling probably provides a quality control mechanism as well as a higher efficiency for the synthesis of mRNAs. The mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and then exported to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), which are embedded in the nuclear envelope. The Mex67-Mtr2 complex in yeast and its counterpart Tap-p15 in higher eukaryotes function as an mRNA exporter through the NPC. Some of the DEAD box proteins such as UAP56 and Dbp5 have been implicated in mRNA export also. In this report using the bioinformatics approach we have analyzed the components of the mRNA export machinery in Plasmodium falciparum and also highlighted the salient features of some of the components. Further detailed studies on various components of nuclear mRNA export in Plasmodium falciparum will be essential to understand this important pathway.
