Ethylene prunes translation

Cell. 2015 Oct 22;163(3):543-4. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2015.10.032. Epub 2015 Oct 22.

Abstract

Ethylene regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. In the presence of ethylene, the C terminus of EIN2 (EIN2C) translocates into the nucleus and activates transcription. Li et al. and Merchante et al. show that EIN2C also regulates translation through an interaction with the 3' UTRs of transcripts.
