Abstract excerpt
A portion of the 3'UTR of the human transferrin receptor mRNA mediates iron-dependent regulation of mRNA stability. The minimal RNA regulatory region contains three conserved hairpins, so-called iron responsive elements (IREs), that are recognized specifically by iron regulatory proteins (IRPs). The structure of this regulatory region and its complex with IRP-1 was probed using a combination of enzymes and...
