Lineage-specific roles of the cytoplasmic polyadenylation factor CPEB4 in the regulation of melanoma drivers

Cytoplasmic polyadenylated transcripts have been poorly characterized, particularly in cancer. Here the authors identify a lineage-specific requirement of the cytoplasmic polyadenylation binding protein 4 (CPEB4) in malignant melanoma and show that it controls melanoma drivers MITF and RAB27A.
