“…With the notable exception of Stress Granules, most of these RNP granules are found constitutively and have been implicated in the regulation of various aspects of RNA expression, from decay to subcellular RNA localization and translation ( Besse and Ephrussi, 2008 ; Buchan, 2014 ; De Graeve and Besse, 2018 ; Formicola et al, 2019 ; Ivanov et al, 2019 ; Marnik and Updike, 2019 ; Trcek and Lehmann, 2019 ). Intriguingly, both repressor and activator functions have been assigned to RNA condensation: clustering of transcripts into translation factories, for example, appears to enhance translation ( Pichon et al, 2016 ; Pizzinga et al, 2019 ; Chouaib et al, 2020 ; Dufourt et al, 2021 ), while recruitment of mRNAs to P-bodies, germ granules, or neuronal granules is rather associated with translational repression ( Krichevsky and Kosik, 2001 ; Fritzsche et al, 2013 ; Hubstenberger et al, 2017 ; Ivanov et al, 2019 ; Kim et al, 2019 ; Tsang et al, 2019 ).…”
