Tristetraprolin inhibits poly(A)-tail synthesis in nuclear mRNA that contains AU-rich elements by interacting with poly(A)-binding protein nuclear 1.
BACKGROUND: Tristetraprolin binds mRNA AU-rich elements and thereby facilitates the destabilization of mature mRNA in the cytosol. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To understand how tristetraprolin mechanistically functions, we biopanned with a phage-display library for proteins that interact with tr...
