abstract：:The 3'UTR of eukaryotic mRNA is an important regulation region, on which many trans factors act. In recent years, a series of 3'UTRs were shown to have tumor suppressor function, including the 3'UTR of the human nuclear factor for interleukin-6 (NF-IL6 3'UTR). To understand molecular basis for this function, we have t...
