The subcellular localization of mRNAs plays a pivotal role in biological processes, including cell migration. For instance, β-actin mRNA and its associated RNA-binding protein (RBP), ZBP1/IGF2BP1, are recruited to focal adhesions (FAs) support localized synthesis, crucial for However, whether other RBPs also localize at FAs remains unclear. Here, we identify hundreds that enriched (FA-mRNAs). FA-mRNAs share characteristics with stress granule (SG) found ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes the SG RBP. Mechanistically, G3BP1 binds FA proteins an RNA-dependent manner, dimerization domains, essential form RNPs SG, required We find promote speed by enhancing mobility size. These findings suggest previously unappreciated regulating function under non-stress conditions.

RNA binding proteins (RBPs) act as critical facilitators of spatially regulated gene expression. Muscleblind-like (MBNL) proteins, implicated in myotonic dystrophy and cancer, localize RNAs to myoblast membranes neurites through unknown mechanisms. We find that MBNL forms motile anchored granules neurons myoblasts, selectively associates with kinesins Kif1bα Kif1c its zinc finger (ZnF) domains. Other RBPs similar ZnFs associate these kinesins, implicating a motor-RBP specificity code. kinesin perturbation leads widespread mRNA mis-localization, including depletion Nucleolin transcripts from neurites. Live cell imaging fractionation reveal the unstructured carboxy-terminal tail MBNL1 allows for anchoring at membranes. An approach, termed RBP Module Recruitment Imaging (RBP-MRI), reconstitutes kinesin- membrane-recruitment functions using MBNL-MS2 coat protein fusions. Our findings decouple association, binding, membrane while establishing general strategies studying multi-functional, modular domains RBPs.

Subcellular localization of messenger RNA (mRNA) is a widespread phenomenon that can impact the regulation and function encoded protein. In nonneuronal cells, specific mRNAs localize to cell protrusions, proper mRNA required for migration. However, mechanisms by which regulates protein in this setting remain unclear. Here, we examined functional consequences encoding KIF1C. KIF1C kinesin motor migration trafficking, including trafficking its own mRNA. We show Kif1c does not regulate KIF1C's abundance, distribution, or ability traffic other mRNAs. Conversely, protrusions directed used mass spectrometry identify binding partners endogenous KIF1C, revealed dramatic dysregulation number identity interactors response mislocalization. These results therefore uncovered mechanistic connection between specificity protein–protein interactions. anticipate mechanism limited likely be general principle impacts functions proteins protrusion-enriched cells.
