title: Translation by remote control.
abstract: Efficient and accurate gene expression requires the coordination of multiple steps along the pathway of mRNA and protein synthesis. Now, Harel-Sharvit et al. (2010) show that transcriptional imprinting of mRNAs with two subunits of RNA polymerase II, Rbp4p and Rpb7p, guides transcripts to the translation apparatus.
