The ELAVL (embryonic lethal, abnormal vision and Drosophila-like) family of proteins includes ELAVL1/HuR, ELAVL2/HuB, ELAVL3/HuC and ELAVL4/HuD. ELAVL1/HuR is ubiquitously expressed whereas expression of the other three members is neuronal-specific. ELAVL/Hu proteins are highly conserved RNA-binding proteins. Besides three RNA recognition motifs, these proteins also contain nuclear localization signals that enable them to shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm. Upon inhibition of transcription by actinomycin D, ELAVL1/HuR relocates from nucleus to cytoplasm where it binds the AU-rich elements within 3 UTRs to stabilize mRNAs. ELAVL1/HuR is suggested to increase translation by binding to mRNAs. In addition, ELAVL1/HuR interacts with microRNAs (miRNAs).
