Stapling of the botulinum type A protease to growth factors and neuropeptides allows selective targeting of neuroendocrine cells.

abstract：:Staufen is an RNA-binding protein, first identified for its role in oogenesis and CNS development in Drosophila. Two mammalian homologs of Staufen have been identified and shown to bind double-stranded RNA and tubulin, and to function in the somatodendritic transport of mRNA in neurons. Here, we examined whether Stauf...
