TLDR
This review focuses on one of the best characterized ARE binding proteins, tristetraprolin (TTP), the founding member of a small family of CCCH tandem zinc finger proteins, and discusses emerging evidence for TTP operating as a translational regulator.

A census of human RNA-binding proteins.

TL;DR: This work presents a census of 1,542 manually curated RBPs that are analysed for their interactions with different classes of RNA, their evolutionary conservation, their abundance and their tissue-specific expression, a critical step towards the comprehensive characterization of proteins involved in human RNA metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of microRNA biology.

TL;DR: The authors discuss the role of microRNAs in shaping the proteome of the cell in a way that is consistent with microRNA involvement in a highly regulated conversation, sensitive to outside influence and internal feedback.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tunable protein synthesis by transcript isoforms in human cells

TL;DR: The results expose the large dynamic range of transcript-isoform- specific translational control, identify isoform-specific sequences that control protein output in human cells, and demonstrate that transcript isoform diversity must be considered when relating RNA and protein levels.

RNA-binding proteins in immune regulation: a focus on CCCH zinc finger proteins

TL;DR: This Review focuses on the emerging roles of CCCH zinc finger proteins in the regulation of immune responses through their effects on cytokine production, immune cell activation and immune homeostasis.

A conserved AU sequence from the 3′ untranslated region of GM-CSF mRNA mediates selective mRNA degradation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the AU sequences are the recognition signal for an mRNA processing pathway which specifically degrades the mRNAs for certain lymphokines, cytokines, and proto-oncogenes.

Regulation of Translation Initiation in Eukaryotes: Mechanisms and Biological Targets

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of the molecular structures and biochemical functions of the translation initiation machinery are described and key strategies that mediate general or gene-specific translational control are summarized, particularly in mammalian systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress granules and processing bodies are dynamically linked sites of mRNP remodeling

TL;DR: It is proposed that mRNA released from disassembled polysomes is sorted and remodeled at SGs, from which selected transcripts are delivered to PBs for degradation, an interaction that is promoted by the related mRNA decay factors TTP and BRF1.

Impaired on/off regulation of TNF biosynthesis in mice lacking TNF AU-rich elements: implications for joint and gut-associated immunopathologies.

TL;DR: Development of two specific pathologies in mutant mice, i.e., chronic inflammatory arthritis and Crohn's-like inflammatory bowel disease, suggests that defective function of ARE may be etiopathogenic for the development of analogous human pathologies.
