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.
Abbreviations used in this paper: scaRNP, small Cajal bodyspecific RNP; SMN, survival motor neuron; snoRNP, small nucleolar RNP; snRNP, small nuclear RNP.
