As such, a tight control of mRNA localisation is essential for many biological processes during development and in adulthood, such as body axes determination in Drosophila melanogaster and synaptic plasticity in neurons. The mechanisms controlling how mRNAs are localised, including difusion and entrapment, local degradation and directed active transport, are largely conserved across evolution and have been under investigation for decades in diferent biological models. In this review, we will discuss the standing of the feld regarding directional mRNA transport in light of the recent discovery that RNA can hitchhike on cytoplasmic organelles, such as endolysosomes, and the impact of these transport modalities on our understanding of neuronal function during development, adulthood and in neurodegeneration date: 2020-12-20 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-020-03724-3 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1838615 doi: 10.1007/s00018-020-03724-3 pii: 10.1007/s00018-020-03724-3 lyricists_name: Schiavo, Giampietro lyricists_id: GSCHI71 actors_name: Bracey, Alan actors_id: ABBRA90 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences event_location: Switzerland citation: Abouward, R; Schiavo, G; (2020) Walking the line: mechanisms underlying directional mRNA transport and localisation in neurons and beyond.
