Exciting Publication by Senthil and Team!

Congratulations to Senthil and coworkers on their latest publication in PNAS: "Deciphering the RNA-binding protein network during endosomal mRNA transport." This groundbreaking study uncovers the structural mechanisms behind mRNA attachment during microtubule-dependent endosomal transport, with insights into the MLLE domain's role in RNA-protein interactions.

This work not only advances our understanding of polar growth in Ustilago maydis but also highlights parallels in human MLLE domains!
