Nematode P granules are cytoplasmic RNA–protein biomolecule condensates central to germ cell development. Here the authors show that dimerization of the PGL-1 scaffolding protein is crucial to granule formation and mRNA repression, and that the WAGO-1 Argonaute protein is a cofactor in repressing PGL-1 bound mRNAs.
