Title:	Mechanistic insights into the basis of widespread RNA localization
Creators Name:	Chekulaeva, M.
Abstract:	The importance of subcellular mRNA localization is well established, but the underlying mechanisms mostly remain an enigma. Early studies suggested that specific mRNA sequences recruit RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to regulate mRNA localization. However, despite the observation of thousands of localized mRNAs, only a handful of these sequences and RBPs have been identified. This suggests the existence of alternative, and possibly predominant, mechanisms for mRNA localization. Here I re-examine currently described mRNA localization mechanisms and explore alternative models that could account for its widespread occurrence.
