This study shows that endosomal mRNA transport coordinates mitochondrial bioenergetics in fungal hyphae, with Rrm4 essential for mitochondrial protein import and function.

The paper investigates the RNA binding roles of Rrm4's RRM domains in Ustilago maydis, revealing how different RRM interactions influence mRNA transport and stability.

This study develops a microbial iCLIP2 protocol to identify RNA-protein interactions in fungi, revealing Rrm4 binds mitochondrial mRNA stop codons.

This study identifies RS2Z35 and RS2Z36 as plant-specific splicing factors that regulate HSFA2 intron splicing and thermotolerance in tomato under heat stress.
