[PDF][PDF] Granules harboring translationally active mRNAs provide a platform for P-body formation following stress

J Lui, LM Castelli, M Pizzinga, CE Simpson, NP Hoyle… - Cell reports, 2014 - cell.com
The localization of mRNA to defined cytoplasmic sites in eukaryotic cells not only allows
localized protein production but also determines the fate of mRNAs. For instance, translationally …

Translation factor mRNA granules direct protein synthetic capacity to regions of polarized growth

M Pizzinga, C Bates, J Lui, G Forte… - Journal of Cell …, 2019 - rupress.org
mRNA localization serves key functions in localized protein production, making it critical that
the translation machinery itself is present at these locations. Here we show that translation …
