CaVT can act as both a translational activator and repressor. While mRNAs containing a weak binding motif are translationally activated by CaVT, mRNAs containing a strong binding motif are translationally repressed by CaVT. Through these translational regulations, CaVT can be used to control reporter expression, apoptosis induction, and genome editing. The implementation of microRNA- or small molecule responsiveness to CaVT enables cell selective or conditional regulation of these biological phenomena.
