IPR002344

Description

IPR002344 is a Lupus La protein.

<p>The La protein is a 47kDa polypeptide that often acts as an autoantigen in systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren's syndrome patients [[cite:PUB00014753]]. It occurs in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm, where it takes on different roles [[cite:PUB00014754]]. In the nucleus, La facilitates the production of tRNAs, acting as a RNA polymerase III (RNAP III) transcription factor by binding to the U-rich 3'UTR of nascent transcripts, assisting in their folding and maturation [[cite:PUB00014760]]. In the cytoplasm, La facilitates the translation of specific mRNAs, acting as a translation factor. As a RNA binding protein (RBP), La associates with subsets of mRNAs that contain a 5'-terminal oligopyrimidine (5'TOP) motif known to control protein synthesis. The binding of La to specific classes of RNA molecules regulates their downstream processing, protects them from endonuclease digestion, and organises their export from the nucleus [[cite:PUB00014755], [cite:PUB00014756], [cite:PUB00014757], [cite:PUB00014758]].</p>

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function RNA binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an RNA molecule or a portion thereof.
Cellular component Nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
Biological process RNA processing Any process involved in the conversion of one or more primary RNA transcripts into one or more mature RNA molecules.
Cellular component Ribonucleoprotein complex A macromolecular complex containing both protein and RNA molecules.
