title: SRprises along a messenger's journey.
abstract: SR (serine/arginine-rich) proteins were originally identified as essential splicing factors. Recent work, however, has implicated these proteins in numerous additional steps of mRNA metabolism, including nuclear export, RNA stability, mRNA quality control, and translation.
