Also, by binding with a structure containing an AU-rich sequence, ELAVL2 and ELAVL4 together inhibit the assembly of the core complex of telomerase to reduce its activity and cell growth in human neuroblastoma cells; notably, the activity of this complex antagonizes the function of ELAVL1 (Cheng et al., 2021). The gene discussed is ELAVL4; the disease is neuroblastoma.
