Post-transcriptional regulation of programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) mRNA by the RNA-binding proteins human antigen R (HuR) and T-cell intracellular antigen 1 (TIA1).

Post-transcriptional processing of mRNA transcripts plays a critical role in establishing the gene expression profile of a cell. Such processing events are mediated by a host of factors, including RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs. A number of critical cellular pathways are subject to regulation at multiple levels that allow fine-tuning of key biological responses.
