Abstract excerpt
AUF1 is an RNA-binding protein that targets mRNAs containing A+U-rich elements (AREs) for rapid cytoplasmic turnover. Alternative pre-mRNA splicing produces five variants of AUF1 mRNA that differ in the composition of their 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs). Previous work suggested that this heterogeneity in 3'-UTR sequence could regulate AUF1 expression by two potential mechanisms. First, AUF1 may regulate its...
