Abstract excerpt
Brain tumor (Brat) is a Drosophila TRIM-NHL protein required for embryogenesis and neural stem cell differentiation. Although structural and biochemical studies established that the Brat NHL domain specifically binds RNA, the in vivo requirement for this activity has not been directly tested. Here, we used structure-guided mutagenesis and genome engineering to determine whether RNA recognition is essential for...
