The top shows the structure of the mTOR mRNA with the 5’untranslated region (5′-UTR), the coding region, and the 3′-UTR. The 3′-UTR of the mTOR messenger RNA has a structure that is recognized by an RNA-binding protein. In the lower part of the image, the RNA-binding protein enables the transport of the mRNA by a microtubule motor protein so that mTOR transcripts are delivered to the injured part of the axon to mediate local synthesis of mTOR protein.
