Associates with the mRNA 5'cap in an MTOR-dependent manner and associates with mRNAs containing a 5' terminal oligopyrimidine (5'TOP) motif, which is present in mRNAs encoding for ribosomal proteins and several components of the translation machinery. Associates with actively translating ribosomes via interaction with PABPC1/PABP and stimulates translation of mRNAs containing a 5'TOP, thereby regulating cell growth and proliferation. Publication Abstract from PubMed The RNA-binding protein La-related protein 1 (LARP1) plays a central role in ribosome biosynthesis. Its C-terminal DM15 region binds the 7-methylguanosine (m(7)G) cap and 5' terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) motif characteristic of transcripts encoding ribosomal proteins and translation factors. Under the control of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), LARP1 regulates translation of these transcripts. Characterizing the dynamics of DM15-TOP recognition is essential to understanding this fundamental biological process. We use molecular dynamics simulations, biophysical assays, and X-ray crystallography to reveal the mechanism of DM15 binding to TOP transcripts. Residues C-terminal to the m(7)G-binding site play important roles in cap recognition. Furthermore, we show that the unusually static pocket that recognizes the +1 cytosine characteristic of TOP transcripts drives binding specificity. Finally, we demonstrate that the DM15 pockets involved in TOP-specific m(7)GpppC-motif recognition are likely druggable. Collectively, these studies suggest unique opportunities for further pharmacological development.
