Abstract excerpt
Cajal bodies (CBs) are nuclear suborganelles involved in biogenesis of small RNAs. Twin structures, called gems, contain high concentrations of the survival motor neurons (SMN) protein complex. CBs and gems often colocalize, and communication between these subdomains is mediated by coilin, the CB marker. Coilin contains symmetrical dimethylarginines that modulate its affinity for SMN, and, thus, localization of...
