Abstract excerpt
Importins could inhibit the condensation of RNA-binding proteins, while it remains unknown whether exportins elicit a similar function. Here, we identified that exportin CRM1 binds to the nuclear protein NPAT, which initiates and maintains the formation of the histone locus body (HLB), a membraneless nuclear body regulating histone transcription. CRM1 drives the nuclear export of NPAT by targeting a nuclear...
