title: HuR and translation--the missing linc(RNA).
abstract: In this issue, Yoon et al. (2012) reveal that HuR influences decay of a long noncoding RNA (lincRNA-p21) that in turn hybridizes to mRNA targets and represses their translation-an indirect, but elegant explanation for the impact of HuR on translation efficiency.
