title: UneCLIPsing HuR nuclear function.
abstract: The RNA-binding protein HuR, while known to stabilize cytoplasmic mRNAs, is largely nuclear. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Mukherjee et al. (2011) and Lebedeva et al. (2011) identify transcriptome-wide HuR-RNA interactions using PAR-CLIP, unveiling HuR's nuclear role in pre-mRNA processing.
