Abstract excerpt
A key aspect of cellular function is the proper assembly and utilization of ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). Recent studies have shown that hyper- or hypo-assembly of various RNPs can lead to human diseases. Defects in the formation of RNPs lead to 'RNP hypo-assembly diseases', which can be caused by RNA degradation outcompeting RNP assembly. By contrast, excess RNP assembly, either in higher order RNP granules, or due...
