Abstract

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that associate with specific mRNA sequences and function as mRNA turnover and translation regulatory (TTR) RBPs are emerging as pivotal posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. However, little is known about the mechanisms that govern the expression of TTR-RBPs. Here, we employed human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells to test the hypothesis that TTR-RBP expression is influenced posttranscriptionally by TTR-RBPs themselves. Systematic testing of the TTR-RBPs AUF1, HuR, KSRP, NF90, TIA-1, and TIAR led to three key discoveries. First, each TTR-RBP was found to associate with its cognate mRNA and with several other TTR-RBP-encoding mRNAs, as determined by testing both endogenous and biotinylated transcripts. Second, silencing of individual TTR-RBPs influenced the expression of other TTR-RBPs at the mRNA and/or protein level. Third, further analysis of two specific ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes revealed that TIA-1 expression was controlled via HuR-enhanced mRNA stabilization and TIAR-repressed translation. Together, our findings underscore the notion that TTR-RBP expression is controlled, at least in part, at the posttranscriptional level through a complex circuitry of self- and cross-regulatory RNP interactions.

  • HuD binds mRNAs of several RBPs, including its own, HuB, HuR, Cugbp2, Musashi 2, and Staufen 2, indicating a complex regulatory network between HuD and other components of the ribonome.

    “Of particular interest, this study also found that HuD binds mRNAs of several RBPs, including its own, HuB, HuR, Cugbp2, Musashi 2, and Staufen 2, indicating a complex regulatory network between HuD and other components of the ribonome (Pullmann et al. 2007; Mansfield and Keene 2009; Bolognani et al. 2010).”

    The Abstract (page unavailable) says the study investigated AUF1, HuR, KSRP, NF90, TIA-1, and TIAR, and found binding among some of their mRNAs. Neither it nor the additional passages retrieved for HuD, Cugbp2, Musashi 2, and Staufen 2 reports the claimed HuD binding relationships. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
