During egg cell development (called oogenesis), the mother deposits gene products—consisting largely of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and some proteins—into the developing egg. These mRNAs take over after fertilization to orchestrate the earliest stages of embryogenesis. As the embryo devel...

متن کاملDecapper comes into focus.
In this issue of Structure, Scarsdale et al. (2006) report structures of the Xenopus X29 Nudix decapping protein, including homodimer structures in complex with cap nucleotides. These structures reveal insights into the mechanism of cap substrate recognition and predict an RNA binding path on the protein surface. The small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a group of non-coding RNAs that associate w...
