Marked for translation: long A/U tails as an interface between completion of RNA editing and ribosome recruitment

The mechanism by which ribosomes select translatable mRNAs from the complex mixture of incompletely edited mRNAs in trypanosome mitochondria has remained a mystery. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Aphasizheva and colleagues (Aphasizheva et?al., 2011) reveal a role for long 3' A/U tails in signaling ribosome recruitment to a fully edited, translatable mRNA.
