Abstract
MRNA transcripts are coated by a variety of RBPs. Some of these are essential for mRNA localization and can be detected even when the mRNA is still nuclear. In many cases, specific sequence elements, `zipcodes', in the untranslated region (UTR) form a secondary structure that serves as a docking site for the RBPs and thus promotes the localization process.Keywords
