Abstract excerpt
Human proteins Hel-N1 and Hel-N2 contain three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), and are members of a family of proteins highly homologous to Drosophila ELAV, which is essential for neuronal differentiation. Both proteins bind to A+U-rich 3' untranslated regions of a variety of growth-related mRNAs in vitro. Here we demonstrate that in medulloblastoma cells derived from childhood brain tumors, Hel-N1 and Hel-N2 are...
