Excited to share the published version of our work @Nature! We revealed the mechanism structural basis of microRNA degradation, and showed how ZSWIM8 defines a novel class of Cullin–RING E3 ligases targets an asymmetric substrate as a dimer uses RNAs in recognition. [1/2]

biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Delighted to share the story of two germline RBPs - with little (DND1) or no (NANOS3) intrinsic sequence-specificity - that together build a continuous RNA binding surface recognizing a 7-mer (AUGAAUU) in target mRNA 3’UTRs, leading to deadenylation.
