Abstract
Messenger RNA localization is a common way of targeting proteins to their site of function. This process is dependent on RNA signals that are interpreted by trans-acting factors. A putative RNA helicase and translational initiation factor is now shown to form a conserved complex, important for localization of oskar mRNA in Drosophila melanogaster and RNA surveillance in human cells.
