Abstract excerpt
Localization of mRNAs provides a novel mechanism for synthesis of proteins close to their site of function. MT1 (metallothionein-1) is a small, metal-binding protein that is largely cytoplasmic but which can be found in the nucleus. The localization of rat MT1 requires the perinuclear localization of its mRNA by a mechanism dependent on the 3'-UTR (3'-untranslated region). The present study investigates the...
