HuR protein attenuates miRNA-mediated repression by promoting miRISC dissociation from the target RNA

The microRNA (miRNA)-mediated repression of protein synthesis in mammalian cells is a reversible process. Target mRNAs with regulatory AU-rich elements (AREs) in their 3′-untranslated regions (3′-UTR) can be relieved of miRNA repression under cellular stress in a process involving the embryonic leth...
