pubmed:abstractText
The cytoplasmic messenger ribonucleoprotein particles of mammalian somatic cells contain the protein YB-1, also called p50, as a major core component. YB-1 is multifunctional and involved in regulation of mRNA transcription and translation. Our previous studies demonstrated that YB-1 stimulates initiation of translation in vitro at a low YB-1/mRNA ratio, whereas an increase of YB-1 bound to mRNA resulted in inhibition of protein synthesis in vitro and in vivo. Here we show that YB-1-mediated translation inhibition in a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free system is followed by a decay of polysomes, which is not a result of mRNA degradation or its functional inactivation. The inhibition does not change the ribosome transit time, and therefore, it affects neither elongation nor termination of polypeptide chains and only occurs at the stage of initiation. YB-1 induces accumulation of mRNA in the form of free messenger ribonucleoprotein particles, i.e. it blocks mRNA association with the small ribosomal subunit. The accumulation is accompanied by eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4G dissociation from mRNA. The C-terminal domain of YB-1 is responsible for inhibition of translation as well as the disruption of mRNA interaction with eIF4G.
