Abstract
Cell function depends on the proper internal organization and regulation of molecules. This chapter will discuss how the family of VICKZ RNA binding proteins are involved in regulating localization, stability, and translation of a set of mRNAs, and, as a result, help control certain cellular functions. The VICKZ proteins represent a paradigm for understanding how the internal design of a cell is intimately related to its physiology. Studying how these proteins function should provide important insights into what happens in cancer and other diseases in which they are aberrantly expressed.
