loading . . . Transcriptome-wide mRNP condensation precedes stress granule formation and excludes new mRNAs Glauninger, Bard, Wong Hickernell, et al. reveal that stress causes transcriptome-wide mRNP condensation, largely independent of length and often without stress granule formation, but newly synthesized mRNAs escape this sequestration, enabling their selective translation. Translation initiation inhibition causes condensation of mRNA, and these condensates are present even in unstressed cells. http://dlvr.it/TPgPvq
