The RNA helicase MOV10L1 binds piRNA precursors to initiate piRNA processing.

abstract：:Post-translational processes are essential for the generation and dynamics of mammalian circadian rhythms. In particular, phosphorylation of the key circadian protein PER2 precisely controls the period and phase of circadian oscillations. However, the mechanisms underlying that control are poorly understood. Here, we ...
