01Summary
Experimental validation confirms that 12 out of 15 selected human proteins enable particle formation and efficient mRNA transport in cells. Several TRIM family proteins, typically associated with antiviral responses, show strong assembly and delivery activity. Interpretability and perturbation analyses reveal structural features within TRIM domains influencing prediction scores, enabling targeted engineering of TRIM25 to enhance delivery performance.
Summarised from the original article by an open-source model, then checked automatically: every number and English name must appear in the source. The original article is authoritative.
