Abstract

In this issue, Aeschimann et al. (2017) demonstrate that, depending on the target location site (5'UTR or 3'UTR), LIN41 triggers repression of translation or mRNA decay, suggesting that one factor may use two independent pathways of post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Keywords: RNA-binding protein; early development; gene regulation; mRNA decay; translation repression.
