PABP1 Antibody - #AF4639

Binds the poly(A) tail of mRNA, including that of its own transcript, and regulates processes of mRNA metabolism such as pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA stability. Its function in translational initiation regulation can either be enhanced by PAIP1 or repressed by PAIP2. Can probably bind to cytoplasmic RNA sequences other than poly(A) in vivo. Involved in translationally coupled mRNA turnover. Implicated with other RNA-binding proteins in the cytoplasmic deadenylation/translational and decay interplay of the FOS mRNA mediated by the major coding-region determinant of instability (mCRD) domain. Involved in regulation of nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons; for the recognition of premature termination codons (PTC) and initiation of NMD a competitive interaction between UPF1 and PABPC1 with the ribosome-bound release factors is proposed. By binding to long poly(A) tails, may protect them from uridylation by ZCCHC6/ZCCHC11 and hence contribute to mRNA stability.

(Microbial infection) Positively regulates the replication of dengue virus (DENV).

Phosphorylated by MAPKAPK2.

Methylated by CARM1. Arg-493 is dimethylated, probably to asymmetric dimethylarginine.

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm>Stress granule.
Note: Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs, which may be different from stress granules (PubMed:17289661). Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus (PubMed:9582337).

Ubiquitous.

May interact with SETX. May form homodimers. Component of a multisubunit autoregulatory ribonucleoprotein complex (ARC), at least composed of IGF2BP1, PABPC1 and CSDE1. Directly interacts with IGF2BP1. Part of a complex associated with the FOS mCRD domain and consisting of HNRPD, SYNCRIP, PAIP1 and CSDE1/UNR. Interacts with the PABPC1-interacting motif-1 (PAM1) and -2 (PAM2) of PAIP1 and PAIP2. Interacts with PAIP1 with a 1:1 stoichiometry and with PAIP2 with a 1:2 stoichiometry. The interaction with CSDE1 is direct and RNA-independent. Found in a mRNP complex with YBX2 (By similarity). Interacts with TENT2/GLD2 (By similarity). Identified in the spliceosome C complex.
