Reconstitution of chromatoid body-like particles in cultured cells: a novel approach to elucidate the mechanism of assembly and function of the chromatoid body.

abstract：:Post-transcriptional control of messenger RNA (mRNA) is an important layer of gene regulation that modulates mRNA decay, translation, and localization. Eukaryotic mRNA decay begins with the catalytic removal of the 3' poly-adenosine tail by deadenylase enzymes. Multiple deadenylases have been identified in vertebrates...
