RNA localization and co‐translational interactions control RAB13 GTPase function and cell migration

Open access

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

Numerous RNAs exhibit specific distribution patterns in mammalian cells. However, the functional and mechanistic consequences are relatively unknown. Here, we investigate the functional role of RNA localization at cellular protrusions of migrating mesenchymal cells, using as a model the RAB13 RNA, which encodes a GTPase important for vesicle‐mediated membrane trafficking. While RAB13 RNA is enriched at peripheral protrusions, the expressed protein is concentrated perinuclearly. By specifically preventing RAB13 RNA localization, we show that peripheral RAB13 translation is not important for the overall distribution of the RAB13 protein or its ability to associate with membranes, but is required for full activation of the GTPase and for efficient cell migration. RAB13 translation leads to a co‐translational association of nascent RAB13 with the exchange factor RABIF. Our results indicate that RAB13‐RABIF association at the periphery is required for directing RAB13 GTPase activity to promote cell migration. Thus, translation of RAB13 in specific subcellular environments imparts the protein with distinct properties and highlights a means of controlling protein function through local RNA translation.

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.
