Abstract excerpt
Schlafens proteins (SLFNs) are interferon-inducible regulators of RNA metabolism that influence antiviral defense and cell fate. Human SLFN14 is a ribosome-associated endoribonuclease whose pathogenic variants cause autosomal dominant inherited thrombocytopenia (IT), but the molecular basis of this disorder remains unclear. Here, using HEK293T cells expressing human SLFN14 variants, we show that SLFN14 represses...
