Show abstract
Fragmentation of the Balbiani body in Xenopus oocytes engenders a region extending from the germinal vesicle (GV) towards the vegetal pole that is enriched in mitochondria. This area is later transversed by RNA that is being localized to the vegetal cortex. Inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthesis prevents the perinuclear formation of these RNA transport granules that can be reversed by the nonhydrolyzable ATP analog, adenosine 5-({beta}{gamma}-imido) triphosphate. The protein composition and sensitivity of the transport granules to hexanediol indicate that they are liquid phase condensates. Mitochondria in the remnants of the Balbiani body produce a region of elevated ATP that appears to act as a hydrotrope to support the perinuclear phase transition leading to granule formation. SummaryMitochondria in the remnants of the Balbiani body produce elevated levels of ATP required for the formation of liquid phase condensates containing RNA transport granules.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
