Abstract

The cytoplasmic RNA-binding protein UNR influences key developmental processes by controlling mRNA turnover and translation initiation. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Wurth et al. report that UNR is highly expressed in melanoma and enhances invasion and metastasis at least partly by inducing translation elongation of VIM and RAC1 mRNAs.
