A team of EU-funded Spanish and Polish researchers have revealed the structure of a protein complex that is essential for messenger RNA (mRNA) biogenesis and export. Writing in the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) Journal, the team describe how the data on its architecture helped identify a mechanism by which this assembly factor recognises and binds nucleic acids.
