Abstract excerpt
GW182 family proteins play important roles in microRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene silencing. They interact with Argonaute (Ago) proteins and localize in processing bodies, which are cytoplasmic foci involved in mRNA degradation and storage. Here, we demonstrated that human GW182 paralog, TNRC6A, is a nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling protein, and its subcellular localization is conducted by a nuclear export signal (NES)...
