YTH-RNA-BINDING PROTEIN PREVENTS DELETERIOUS EXPRESSION OF MEIOTIC PROTEINS BY TETHERING THEIR MRNAS TO NUCLEAR FOCI

YTH-RNA-binding protein prevents deleterious expression of meiotic proteins by tethering their mRNAs to nuclear foci

Accurate and extensive regulation of meiotic gene expression is crucial to distinguish germ cells from somatic cells.In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a YTH family RNA-binding protein, Mmi1, directs the nuclear exosome-mediated elimination of meiotic transcripts during vegetative proliferation.Mmi1 also induces the formation of facult
