The prion-like domain of Drosophila Imp promotes axonal transport of RNP granules in vivo
Abstract
The physiological role of prion-like domains (PLDs) within RNA-binding proteins is not well understood. Here, authors show in Drosophila that the PLD in the protein Imp is required for localization of ribonucleoprotein granules to axons and axonal remodelling.
