Messenger RNA localization is a common way of targeting proteins to their site of function. This process is dependent on RNA signals that are interpreted by _trans_-acting factors. A
putative RNA helicase and translational initiation factor is now shown to form a conserved complex, important for localization of _oskar_ mRNA in _Drosophila melanogaster_ and RNA
