Abstract excerpt
In mammals, rapid mRNA turnover directed by AU-rich elements (AREs) is mediated by selective association of cellular ARE-binding proteins. These trans-acting factors display overlapping RNA substrate specificities and may act to either stabilize or destabilize targeted transcripts; however, the mechanistic features of AREs that promote preferential binding of one trans-factor over another are not well understood....
