Loss of Daxx, a promiscuously interacting protein, results in extensive apoptosis in early mouse development.

abstract：:The PWI motif is a highly conserved domain of unknown function in the SRm160 splicing and 3'-end cleavage-stimulatory factor, as well as in several other known or putative pre-mRNA processing components. We show here that the PWI motif is a new type of RNA/DNA-binding domain that has an equal preference for single- an...
