The RNA-Binding Protein YBX3 Controls Amino Acid Levels by Regulating SLC mRNA Abundance
Summary: Sufficient amino acid supplies are critical for protein synthesis and, thus, cell growth and proliferation. Specialized transporters mediate amino acid exchange across membranes and their regulation is critical for amino acid homeostasis. Here, we report that the DNA- and RNA-binding protei...
