Structured Summary
Abstract
Cytoplasmic RNP granules constitutively found in eukaryotic cells. Various proteins related to RNA regulation including RNA decay are found in P-bodies. P-bodies and STRESS GRANULES both sequester inactive mRNPs via different pathways. In P-bodies mRNAs from the stalled translational machinery are deadenylated and condensed for sequestration.
