“…With this in mind, CBF-A/hnRNPab may cotranscriptionally target cis -acting elements within nascent RNA and stabilize the formation of RNA G4 quadruplexes to sort transcripts that are not translationally active and can therefore be transported to the cellular periphery. Indeed, CBF-A/hnRNPab binds to the RTS located in the 3′ UTR of several transcripts, including the Myelin Basic Protein (MBP), β-actin, Arc, BDNF, CAMKIIα, and Protamine 2 mRNAs ( Ainger et al, 1997 ; Czaplinski et al, 2005 ; Czaplinski and Mattaj, 2006 ; Raju et al, 2008 , 2011 ; Kroll et al, 2009 ; Fukuda et al, 2013 ; Andreou et al, 2014 ). RTS binding by CBF-A/hnRNPab is required for transport and localization of all of the above transcripts to the cellular periphery where they are translated and deletion studies by siRNA or gene knockout have demonstrated impaired RTS-dependent mRNA transport in oligodendrocytes, neurons, and spermatogenic cells to specific cellular locations (reviewed in Percipalle, 2014 ).…”
