Control of protein expression through mRNA stability in calcium signalling

Abstract

Specific sequences (cis-acting elements) in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of RNA, together with stabilizing and destabilizing proteins (trans-acting factors), determine the mRNA stability, and consequently, the level of expression of several proteins. Such interactions were discovered initially for short-lived mRNAs encoding cytokines and early genes like c-jun and c-myc. However, they may also determine the fate of more stable mRNAs in a …
