This study shows that RNA recognition by the Sxl protein depends on a dynamic conformational ensemble rather than a single structure, and perturbing this balance impairs RNA binding.

The paper uses single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to study mRNP assembly mechanisms in translation repression, revealing synergistic roles of RNA-binding proteins.

This paper identifies the RNA binding specificity of Hrp48, showing it binds the msl-2 mRNA 3' UTR independently of Sxl and Unr downstream of their binding sites.
