Atomic-level insight into mRNA processing bodies by combining solid and solution-state NMR spectroscopy

Processing bodies are membrane less organelles that contain enzymes involved in mRNA turnover, among them enhancer of decapping 3 (Edc3). Here the authors use solid- and solution-state NMR spectroscopy to characterize the structural organization and dynamics of Edc3 and find that its interactions wi...

Description
Summary:Processing bodies are membrane less organelles that contain enzymes involved in mRNA turnover, among them enhancer of decapping 3 (Edc3). Here the authors use solid- and solution-state NMR spectroscopy to characterize the structural organization and dynamics of Edc3 and find that its interactions with RNA and between the different Edc3 domains are largely preserved in the phase-separated state.
