Scientists Discover How Protein Crucial For Motion Is Synthesized At The Right Place In The Cell

Scientists Discover How Protein Crucial For Motion Is Synthesized At The Right Place In The Cell: "A protein called ZBP1 binds to the messenger RNA and 'escorts' it out of the fibroblast nucleus and into the cytoplasm. On reaching the cell's periphery, the messenger RNA is translated into actin protein responsible for cell motility.
This new study reveals another key role for ZBP1: Not only does ZBP1 bind to actin messenger RNA and guide it to the cell's periphery, but it also helps regulate where in the cell the messenger RNA is translated into actin."
