The vimentin 3′ UTR protein-binding region is an RNA element that contains a Y-shaped structure which has been shown to have protein-binding activity.[1] The same region has been implicated in the control of mRNA localisation to the perinuclear region of the cytoplasm, possibly at sites of intermediate filament assembly.[2] The identity of the proteins involved and the localisation mechanism are not known.
