Post-transcriptional gene silencing mediated by microRNAs is controlled by nucleoplasmic Sfpq

MicroRNAs have been best characterized for their functions in the cytoplasm; however, there is growing evidence of a nuclear localized role. Here, the authors identify Sfpq as an Ago2-interacting protein that modulates miRNA activity in both the nucleus and cytoplasm.
