4、scripts begins in the nucleus,where HuR associates with the pre-mRNA introns and affects splicing and likely other nuclear processing events.After assisting with export of the mature mRNA out of the nucleus,HuRs impact continues in the cytoplasm,where it stabilizes mRNAs,may help with transient mRNA storage,and modulates the recruitment of the mRNA with the translation machinery(polysomes).
