Molecular ‘hub’ regulates gene-silencing proteins

A protein called GW182/TNRC6 acts as a hub to integrate the activities of different protein complexes involved in RNA silencing.

To keep their vital functions in balance, many organisms use small snippets of RNA to ‘silence’ messenger RNAs that code for certain proteins. New research from FMI scientists revealed a molecular hub that integrates the activities of different protein complexes involved in such RNA silencing. The findings provide insights into a key mechanism that helps to coordinate cellular functions.
