ER morphology: sculpting with XendoU.

Zhao G , Blackstone C .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sheet membranes are covered with ribosomes and RNAs that are involved in protein synthesis. A new study reveals that a calcium-activated endoribonuclease of the EndoU protein family promotes the formation of tubular ER networks, contributing to dynamic shaping of the ER in cells.
