A cryptic RNA-binding domain mediates Syncrip recognition and exosomal partitioning of miRNA targets

Syncrip is a conserved RNA-binding protein that mediates selective miRNA loading into cell-secreted exosomes, which is important for cell–cell communication. Here the authors provide mechanistic insights into how Syncrip recognises its target miRNAs by combining NMR and crystallography.
