Intermitochondrial cement (IMC) harbors piRNA biogenesis machinery and exonuclease domain-containing proteins EXD1 and EXD2 in mouse spermatocytes

[Background] Germ granules are large cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein complexes that emerge in the germline to participate in RNA regulation. The two most prominent germ granules are the intermitochondrial cement (IMC) in meiotic spermatocytes and the chromatoid body (CB) in haploid round spermatids, b...

Sumario:[Background] Germ granules are large cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein complexes that emerge in the germline to participate in RNA regulation. The two most prominent germ granules are the intermitochondrial cement (IMC) in meiotic spermatocytes and the chromatoid body (CB) in haploid round spermatids, both functionally linked to the PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway.
