“…The list has considerably increased thanks to genomesequencing programs (Bakheet et al 2001). Many RBPs have been described, which selectively recognize these sequences and modulate their translation and/or stability (Ross 1995, Lal et al 2004, including Hu proteins (HuB, HuC, HuD, and HuR), BRF1, TIAR, TIA-1, KSRP, TTP, and AUF1 (Zhang et al 1993, Park-Lee et al 2003, Gherzi et al 2004, Fenger-Gron et al 2005, Lopez de Silanes et al 2005, Suswam et al 2005. Two AREs have been studied most extensively: AUF1, which is related to degradation of target mRNAs and HuR, which promotes stabilization of several transcripts by enhancing their stability, altering their translation, or performing both functions (Loflin et al 1999, Brennan & Steitz 2001.…”
