Drosophila Cajal bodies: accessories not included

J Cell Biol. 2006 Mar 13;172(6):791-3. doi: 10.1083/jcb.200602002.

Abstract

Cajal bodies are nuclear sites of small ribonucleoprotein (RNP) remodeling and maturation. A recent study describes the discovery of the Drosophila Cajal body, revealing some interesting insights into the subnuclear organization of RNA processing machineries among different species.
