Binding of NUFIP2 to Roquin promotes recognition and regulation of ICOS mRNA

The RNA-binding proteins Roquin-1 and Roquin-2 are essential for immune cell function and postnatal survival in mice. Here, the authors identify NUFIP2 as a cofactor of Roquin; Roquin binds and stabilizes NUFIP2 in cells while NUFIP2 regulates Roquin mRNA target recognition.
