The scaffold protein WRAP53β orchestrates the ubiquitin response critical for DNA double-strand break repair.

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...
