== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PTBP1_HUMAN PTBP1_HUMAN] Plays a role in pre-mRNA splicing and in the regulation of alternative splicing events. Activates exon skipping of its own pre-mRNA during muscle cell differentiation. Binds to the polypyrimidine tract of introns. May promote RNA looping when bound to two separate polypyrimidine tracts in the same pre-mRNA. May promote the binding of U2 snRNP to pre-mRNA. Cooperates with RAVER1 to modulate switching between mutually exclusive exons during maturation of the TPM1 pre-mRNA. Represses the splicing of MAPT/Tau exon 10.<ref>PMID:11003644</ref> <ref>PMID:15009664</ref> <ref>PMID:16260624</ref> <ref>PMID:21518792</ref> <ref>PMID:16179478</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The N-terminal RNA recognition motif domain (RRM1) of polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) forms an additional C-terminal helix alpha3, which docks to one edge of the beta-sheet upon binding to a stem-loop RNA containing a UCUUU pentaloop. Importantly, alpha3 does not contact the RNA. The alpha3 helix therefore represents an allosteric means to regulate the conformation of adjacent domains in PTB upon binding structured RNAs. Here we investigate the process of dynamic adaptation by stem-loop RNA and RRM1 using NMR and MD in order to obtain mechanistic insights on how this allostery is achieved. Relaxation data and NMR structure determination of the free protein show that alpha3 is partially ordered and interacts with the domain transiently. Stem-loop RNA binding quenches fast time scale dynamics and alpha3 becomes ordered, however microsecond dynamics at the protein-RNA interface is observed. MD shows how RRM1 binding to the stem-loop RNA is coupled to the stabilization of the C-terminal helix and helps to transduce differences in RNA loop sequence into changes in alpha3 length and order. IRES assays of full length PTB and a mutant with altered dynamics in the alpha3 region show that this dynamic allostery influences PTB function in cultured HEK293T cells.
