Cell 104, 281-290 (2001). Shows that LOK mRNA translation is controlled by a specific mRNA-protein complex formed between the differentiation control element (DICE) in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR). hnRNPs K and E1 bind to the DICE and impair the joining of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form a translation competent 80S ribosome.

38. Mendez, R. et al. Phosphorylation of CPE binding factor by Eg2 regulates translation of c-mos mRNA. Nature 404, 302-307 (2000). Shows that an early site-specific phosphorylation of CPEB is necessary and sufficient for the activation of c-mos mRNA polyadenylation and its subsequent translation, as well as for oocyte maturation. This regulatory phosphorylation event is catalysed by Eg2, a member of the Aurora family of serine/threonine protein kinases.

The cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor in Xenopus laevis oocytes is a cytoplasmic factor involved in regulated polyadenylation. Mol. Cell. Biol. 19, 5707-5717 (1999). The authors report the cloning of the 100-kDa subunit of Xenopus CPSF, which is predominantly localized to the cytoplasm. This cytoplasmic CPSF forms a specific complex with RNAs that contain both the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE) and the polyadenylation element AAUAAA. When the 100-kDa subunit is immunodepleted, there is a reduction of cytoplasmic polyadenylation.

The authors describe four CPEB homologues in C. elegans: cpb-1, cpb-2, cpb-3 and fog-1.
