Activities of Ligatin and MCT-1/DENR in eukaryotic translation initiation and ribosomal recycling.

abstract：:Piwi-piRNA (Piwi-interacting RNA) ribonucleoproteins (piRNPs) enforce retrotransposon silencing, a function critical for preserving the genome integrity of germ cells. The molecular functions of most of the factors that have been genetically implicated in primary piRNA biogenesis are still elusive. Here we show that M...
