Abstract
► We review the mechanisms of translational control by the CPEB family of RNA-binding proteins. ► CPEBs regulate, cytoplasmically, the length of the poly(A) tail of hundreds of mRNAs. ► Functions of CPEBs include the balance between senescence and proliferation. ► CPEB4 activates the translation of pro-oncogenic mRNAs in pancreatic adenocarcinomas.
