mRNA localization: message on the move

R P Jansen. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

Cytoplasmic messenger RNA localization is a key post-transcriptional mechanism of establishing spatially restricted protein synthesis. The characterization of cis-acting signals within localized mRNAs, and the identification of trans-acting factors that recognize these signals, has opened avenues towards identifying the machinery and mechanisms involved in mRNA transport and localization.
