Novel LOTUS-domain proteins are organizational hubs that recruit C. elegans Vasa to germ granules
We describe MIP-1 and MIP-2, novel paralogous C.elegans germ granule components that interact with the intrinsically disordered MEG-3 protein.These proteins promote P granule condensation, form granules independently of MEG-3 in the postembryonic germ line, and balance each other in regulating SWEETS P granule growth and localization.MIP-1 and MIP-
