Abstract
In a recent article in Cell, Zhou etal. investigate the origins, composition, and biological consequences of UV-induced stress granules. They find that UV-induced stress granules are triggered by the formation of RNA-protein crosslinks, uniquely contain DHX9 as a marker, form during mitosis independently of translation repression, and are enriched in intron-containing RNAs and splicing factors. Moreover, UV-induced granules contain double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and trigger a dsRNA response. This work identifies a mechanism for resolving UV-damaged RNA and broadens the types of cytosolic "stress granules" that form.
