Many cells localize mRNAs to discrete locations in the cytoplasm. Coupled to local translation, this process affords precise spatial and temporal control of protein function. This SnapShot provides an overview of the key events in subcellular mRNA localization and highlights recent progress in understanding how cytoskeletal motors orchestrate mRNA trafficking.
