The mammalian cell nucleus contains membraneless suborganelles referred to as nuclear
bodies (NBs). Some NBs are formed with an architectural RNA (arcRNA) as the structural core…

Prion-like domains (PLDs) are low complexity sequences found in RNA binding proteins
associated with the neurodegenerative disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Recently, PLDs …

The mammalian cell nucleus is a highly organized organelle that contains membrane-less
structures referred to as nuclear bodies (NBs). Some NBs carry specific RNA types that play …

Mutations in the RNA-binding protein FUS cause familial amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Several mutations that affect the proline-tyrosine nuclear localization signal (PY-NLS) of …

Nuclear import receptors (NIRs) not only transport RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) but also
modify phase transitions of RBPs by recognizing nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Toxic …

PIWI (P-element-induced wimpy testis) proteins are a subset of the Argonaute proteins and
are expressed predominantly in the germlines of a variety of organisms, including Drosophila …

PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) biogenesis consists of two sequential steps: primary piRNA
processing and the ping-pong cycle that depends on reciprocal Slicer-mediated RNA …

Dss1p is an evolutionarily conserved small protein that interacts with BRCA2, a tumor suppressor
protein, in humans. The Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain lacking the dss1 + gene (…

Silkworm ovarian germ cells produce the Siwi‐pi RNA ‐induced silencing complex (pi RISC
) through two consecutive mechanisms, the primary pathway and the secondary ping‐pong …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have long been collectively and passively defined as
transcripts that do not encode proteins. However, extensive functional studies performed over …
