Recent large-scale quantitative assessment of the proteome and transcriptome has revealed that transcript abundances only partially predict protein abundances. This article discusses ways in which such studies are informing our knowledge of protein expression regulation.
Protein–RNA interactions are central to the regulation of gene expression. Emerging technologies for pinpointing these interactions, both in large complexes and between individual proteins and RNA, are discussed. Methods for analysing these data are also considered.
