Coilin also known as Coilin protein or its gene name COIL is a nuclear phosphoprotein with a mass of approximately 62 kDa. It plays a mechanical role in the formation and maintenance of Cajal bodies which are subnuclear structures involved in various RNA processes. Coilin is mainly expressed in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells including a high expression in HeLa cells where its localization to Cajal bodies can be easily studied with tools like Alexa Fluor 488. Occasionally references may be made to terms like 'HeLa coil' which pertain to specific structural features noted in these contexts.
This protein facilitates the organization and biogenesis of nuclear bodies associated with RNA processing and small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) assembly. Coilin operates as part of a larger complex involving several other proteins that interact within Cajal bodies. These nuclear bodies serve as sites where components necessary for RNA processing are concentrated. Coilin aids in the trafficking and modification of snRNP elements which are essential for pre-mRNA splicing.
Coilin affects RNA metabolism and processing notably within the spliceosome assembly pathway and in snRNP biogenesis. The pathways include interactions with proteins such as SMN (Survival of Motor Neuron) protein which links to spinal muscular atrophy-related processes. Additionally Coilin contributes to the broader framework of nucleic acid processing systems impacting the outcome of RNA transcription and modification through its regulatory roles.
Coilin shows connections to neurological conditions and cancer. For instance alterations or dysregulation in Coilin expression can correlate with spinal muscular atrophy where it associates with the SMN protein if there are disruptions in Cajal body integrity. Furthermore links exist with certain cancers where the mismanagement of RNA processes influenced by Coilin and its interaction partners like PDEdelta can lead to aberrant cell behaviors and tumor progression. Coilin’s involvement in such diseases makes it an appealing target for therapeutic exploration reflected in ongoing cancer research and therapeutic developments.
