…nstrated how enzyme activity in intracellular condensates contributes to mRNA degradation. The findings will enable further development of mRNA-based therapies. The researchers described the results of their work in the journal “Nature Chemical Biology”. mRNA molecules have at their 5′ end a unique structure called a cap, which plays an essential role in protein biosynthesis. The process of cap removal is a step that precedes the deg…
