Description
Function: Sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translation initiation during oocyte maturation, early development and at postsynapse sites of neurons. Binds to the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE), an uridine-rich sequence element (consensus sequence 5'-UUUUUAU-3') within the mRNA 3'-UTR. RNA binding results in a clear conformational change analogous to the Venus fly trap mechanism (PubMed:24990967). In absence of phosphorylation and in association with TACC3 is also involved as a repressor of translation of CPE-containing mRNA; a repression that is relieved by phosphorylation or degradation (By similarity). Involved in the transport of CPE-containing mRNA to dendrites; those mRNAs may be transported to dendrites in a translationally dormant form and translationally activated at synapses (By similarity). Its interaction with APLP1 promotes local CPE-containing mRNA polyadenylation and translation activation (By similarity). Induces the assembly of stress granules in the absence of stress. Required for cell cycle progression, specifically for prophase entry (PubMed:26398195).
Subunit Structure: Interacts with kinesin, dynein, APLP1, APLP2, PAPD4/GLD2 and APP. Both phosphorylated and non phosphorylated forms interact with APLP1 (By similarity).
Post-translational Modifications: Phosphorylated on serine/threonine residues by AURKA within positions 166 and 197. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation on Thr-172 regulates cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translation of CPE-containing mRNAs. Phosphorylation on Thr-172 by AURKA and CAMK2A activates CPEB1. Phosphorylation on Thr-172 may be promoted by APLP1. Phosphorylation increases binding to RNA (By similarity).
Similarity: The 2 RRM domains and the C-terminal region mediate interaction with CPE-containing RNA (PubMed:24990967). The interdomain linker (411-429) acts as a hinge to fix the relative orientation of the 2 RRMs (PubMed:24990967). The ZZ domain (509-566) coordinates 2 Zn ions and is probably implicated in mediating interactions with other proteins in addition to increasing the affinity of the RRMs for the CPEs (PubMed:23500490, PubMed:24990967). A continuous hydrophobic interface is formed between the 2 RRMs (PubMed:24990967). Belongs to the RRM CPEB family
