Abstract

Significance: Stress granules, which are ubiquitous, non–membrane-bound assemblies of protein and RNA, form when translation initiation is inhibited, contribute to the regulation of gene expression, and are implicated in the pathologies of cancer and neurodegenerative disease. Understanding the mechanisms of stress granule assembly is crucial to gaining greater insight into their biological function and pathological misregulation. We provide evidence that RNA–RNA interactions contribute to the assembly of stress granules. Furthermore, we show that pathogenic dipeptides increase the propensity of RNA to assemble. Together, this argues that RNAs are assembly prone and must be carefully regulated. A summative model of stress granule assembly, which includes trans -RNA–RNA interactions, can be extended to other ribonucleoprotein granules in the cell.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
