Figure 1 Cytoplasmic Cycling of mRNA mRNA in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells may either engage in translation or be sequestered into translationally repressed mRNPs. Stress granules in mammals are formed during various cellular stresses and include mRNA, translation initiation factors, and TIA-R proteins. Alternatively, mRNA can be sequestered into P bodies where the mRNA is stored for future use in translation or decapped and degraded.
