The hnRNPs Hrb27C and Squid function in the localization and translational regulation of gurken (grk) mRNA; Hrb27C directly binds to grk RNA and Sqiud protein, whereas Otu is proposed to complex Hrb27C.

XStau RNPs also complex with Kinesin 1, suggesting an active kinesin-dependant mechanism for late pathway RNAs.

King Localization of RNAs to the mitochondrial cloud in Xenopus oocytes through entrapment and association with endoplasmic reticulum Mol Biol Cell 15 2004 4669 4681 Time-lapse microscopy and fluorescent recovery after photobleaching enabled the authors to observe free movement of early pathway RNAs. Localized RNA associates with the endoplasmic reticulum in the mitochondrial cloud. The localization does not depend on cold or nocodazol treatments, which depolymerize the microtubule network. The results indicate that the localization of early pathway RNA is motor independent.

Deshler Evidence for common machinery utilized by the early and late RNA localization pathways in Xenopus oocytes Dev Biol 278 2005 103 117 Data from RNA microinjection assays show that early and late pathway RNAs compete for common localization factors, and that the same short RNA sequence motifs are required for localization in both pathways. The late localization factor Vg RBP/Vera binds specifically to several early pathway RNA localization elements. In addition, early pathway RNAs associate with a perinuclear microtubule network that connects to the mitochondrial cloud of stage I Xenopus oocytes. A common motor machinery might function during the early and late pathways.

St Johnston The Drosophila hnRNPA/B homolog, Hrp48, is specifically required for a distinct step in osk mRNA localization Dev Cell 6 2004 625 635 Missense mutations in hrp48 disrupt the localization of oskar RNA and Staufen-containing particles. Hrp48 is shown to bind the 3′UTR and 5′ region of oskar mRNA and is thought to act upstream of Staufen.

Interaction between the first intron of osk RNA and splicing factors, such as Mago nashi and Y14/Tsunagi, appears essential for localization of osk mRNA during mid-oogenesis in Drosophila.

Upon export to the cytoplasm, the RNP complexes get remodeled and recruit additional factors such as Staufen and Prrp.
