Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of pathologically stable mRNAs of proto-oncogenes, growth factors and cyclins has been proposed to contribute to experimental and human oncogenesis. In normal resting cells, mRNAs containing an AU-rich element (ARE) in their 3' untranslated region are subjected to rapid degradation. Tristetraprolin (TTP) is an RNA-binding zinc-finger protein that promotes decay of ARE-containing mRNAs. Here we...
