RNA decay: NoBody binds to mRNA decapping proteins

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 18, 4 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrm.2016.170 Author: Kim Baumann Recent studies have revealed that genomes contain thousands of small open reading frames that encode microproteins, but the functional significance of microproteins is unclear. D'Lima et al. now report the identification of a human microprotein, NoBody (non-annotated P-body dissociating polypeptide), that interacts with the
