title: HuR-SIRT: the hairy world of posttranscriptional control.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, demonstrate that the RNA binding protein HuR selectively up- or downregulates the stability of the SIRT1 mRNA (which encodes an important regulatory deacetylase) depending upon phosphorylation by Chk2.
