Posttranscriptional Regulation and RNA Binding Proteins in Development.
The precise spatial and temporal control of gene expression during the development of multicellular organisms is achieved by the use of both transcriptional and posttranscriptional control mechanisms. In fact, for some developmental processes, posttranscriptional regulation can be more important than transcriptional control. The mechanisms and proteins involved in posttranscriptional regulation are increasingly well understood. This review focuses on three well-characterized examples of posttranscriptional regulation in development, and highlights recent progress in each area. Copyright 1995 S. Karger AG, Basel
