“…Transport endosomes are important carriers that move messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes (mRNPs), consisting of RNA-binding proteins and cargo mRNAs on their cytoplasmic surface (Mofatteh & Bullock, 2017;Müntjes et al, 2021;Niessing et al, 2018). This process is evolutionarily conserved in fungi, plants, and animals (Baumann et al, 2012;Cioni et al, 2019;Tian et al, 2020a;Liao et al, 2019;Müntjes et al., 2021;Quentin et al, 2021;Schuhmacher et al, 2021). In endosperm cells of developing rice seeds, cargo mRNAs are transported to the cortical endoplasmic reticulum ER by the action of the two RNA recognition motif (RRM)-containing proteins RBP-P and RBP-L.…”
