On again, off again: the SRC-3 transcriptional coactivator moonlights as a translational corepressor

Mol Cell. 2007 Mar 23;25(6):796-7. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2007.03.005.

Abstract

In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Yu et al. (2007) reported that the steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3) has a novel cytoplasmic function: it activates the translational silencers TIA-1 and TIAR and thus inhibits the translation of proinflammatory cytokines.
