Function

Two statio ry GW/P bodies reside at the centrosome in human malig nt cells [18653466] raises the possibility that miR could potentially be located at the centrosome in GW/P bodies and may play a role in posttranscriptio l regulation of mR involved in centrosome functions including primary ciliogenesis. Two GW/P bodies as marked by GW182 and hAgo2 colocalized to the basal body of primary human astrocytes as well as human synoviocytes during interphase and specifically with the distal end of the basal body in the pericentriolar region. knock down of GW182, hAgo2, Drosha and DGCR8 mR did not affect the appearance of the earliest stage of ciliogenesis but did prevent the formation and elongation of the ciliary axoneme(21880135).
