RNA seeds nuclear bodies

Maria Carmo-Fonseca et al. Nat Cell Biol. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

The interior of the eukaryotic cell nucleus is populated by a multitude of microscopic domains termed nuclear bodies. Despite having attracted much attention, how these compartments form and are maintained remained elusive. Now, two live-cell imaging studies provide compelling evidence that nascent RNAs can act as transiently immobilized scaffolds that recruit specific nuclear body proteins.
