RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) orchestrate transcript fate and function. Even though alterations in post-transcriptional events contribute to key steps of tumor initiation and progression, RBP-mediated control has remained relatively unexplored in cancer. Here, we discuss examples of this promising field focusing on translation regulation, and highlight the variety of molecular mechanisms by which RBPs impinge on translation with consequences for tumorigenesis. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Translation and Cancer.
RNA结合蛋白(RBPs)调控转录本的命运和功能。尽管转录后事件的改变有助于肿瘤起始和进展的关键步骤,但RBP介导的调控在癌症中仍相对未被充分探索。在此,我们讨论这个有前景领域中专注于翻译调控的例子,并强调RBP影响翻译从而对肿瘤发生产生影响的多种分子机制。本文是名为《翻译与癌症》的特刊的一部分。
