Functional Interplay between RNA-Binding Protein HuR and microRNAs

Abstract

The mammalian RNA-binding protein (RBP) HuR associates with numerous mRNAs encoding proteins with roles in cell division, cell survival, immune response, and differentiation. HuR was known to stabilize many of these mRNAs and/or modulated their translation, but the molecular processes by which HuR affected the fate of target mRNAs was largely unknown. Evidence accumulated over the past five years has revealed that the influence of HuR on many bound transcripts depends on HuR's interplay with microRNAs which associate with the same mRNAs. Here, we review the interactions of HuR and microRNAs - both competitive and cooperative - that govern expression of shared target mRNAs. Competition between HuR and microRNAs typically results in enhanced gene expression if the HuR-mRNA interaction prevails, and in repression if the microRNA remains associated. Cooperation between HuR and microRNAs leads to lower expression of the shared mRNA. We also describe the regulation of HuR levels by microRNAs as well as the regulation of microRNA levels by HuR. Finally, we discuss transcriptome-wide analyses of HuR-bound mRNAs with neighboring microRNA sites, and review the emerging mechanisms whereby microRNAs confer versatility and robustness to the post-transcriptional outcomes of HuR targets.

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.
