Abstract excerpt
Cajal bodies (CBs) are nuclear suborganelles implicated in the post-transcriptional maturation of small nuclear and small nucleolar RNAs. The number of CBs displayed by various cell lines and tissues varies, and factors that control CB numbers within a given cell have yet to be described. In this report, we show that specific regions within the C-terminus of coilin, the CB marker protein, are responsible for...
