unique structure, which can both stably bind to mRNAs and function as an anchor for diverse …

[HTML][HTML] RNA-binding proteins and post-transcriptional gene regulation

T Glisovic, JL Bachorik, J Yong, G Dreyfuss - FEBS letters, 2008 - Elsevier
RNAs in cells are associated with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to form ribonucleoprotein
