Title	TDRD6 instructs correct assembly of mRNPs in the chromatoid body to potentiate UPF1 dependent mRNA decay.
Description	RNA sequencing of heterozygote or Tudor domain contian protein 6 (TDRD6) knockout round spermatid cells. Chromatoid bodies (CBs) are germ cell-specific organelles of largely unknown function. CBs harbor various RNA species, RNA-associated proteins and proteins of the tudor domain family such as TDRD6. Proteome analysis of purified CBs revealed components of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay machinery such as UPF1. TDRD6 is essential for UPF1 localization to CBs, for UPF1-UPF2 interaction, and for assembly of UPFs and other RNA binding proteins into super-complexes. In absence of TDRD6, the association of some mRNAs with UPF1 is impaired, and the long 3 UTR-stimulated but not the exon junction complex-stimulated pathway of NMD is distorted. Reduced association of mRNAs with UPF1 correlated with increased stability and presence in polysome fractions, i.e. enhanced translational activity. Thus, we define CBs as sites of UPF1-dependent mRNA degradation and provide evidence for the requirement for NMD in spermiogenesis. This function of CBs depends on TDRD6-promoted assembly of mRNA decay enzymes within mRNPs.
