Iuchi and Paulo identify a large metabolic complex for macromolecule biogenesis composed of numerous RNA processing proteins in HEK293T cells, which the authors term the RNAmetasome. The authors identify the complex by mass-spec using ELMSAN1 as bait and utilize reciprocal immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry for validation, and find that MKI67, GNL2, and MDN1 have important roles organizing the RNAmetasome network.
