Proposed Model of ZBP1-mRNA Localization
The travels of ZBP1. ZBP1 shuttles into and out of the nucleus. If
it encounters the nascent zipcode sequences, it binds there as the
nascent RNA and finishes transcription and processing/polyadenylation
before export to the cytoplasm. Once in the cytoplasm, it associates
with cytoskeletal elements (actin filament bundles are shown here)
and localizes to the leading edge.
