RNA-binding proteins as versatile metabolic regulators by Ellie Koletsou, Ina Huppertz

“…This review highlights the various mechanisms by which RBPs regulate these changes, ranging from active involvement in the post-transcriptional regulation of metabolically relevant genes to alteration of an RBP’s function by specific RNAs, metabolites or growth factors. Finally, we consider how ageing and disease affect the function of RBPs and how RBPs can disrupt the delicate balance of metabolic regulation. …”
