Principles of HuR-RNA targeting, interaction dynamics, and functional outcomes
… protein. Many of the mRNA targets of RBPs encode functionally related proteins, which for post-trascriptional operons, resulting in coordination of macromolecular complexes or specific cellular processes. Thus, identifying RNA targets, precise binding sites, and the dynamics of these interactions …
