Abstract
Stress triggers the formation of two distinct cytoplasmic biomolecular condensates: stress granules (SGs) and processing bodies (PBs), both of which may contribute to stress-responsive translation regulation. Though PBs can be present constitutively, stress can increase their number and size and lead to their interaction with stress-induced SGs. The mechanism of such interaction, however, is largely unknown. Formation of canonical SGs requires the RNA binding protein Ubiquitin-Associated Protein 2-Like (UBAP2L), which is a central SG node protein in the RNA-protein interaction network of SGs and PBs. UBAP2L binds to the essential SG and PB proteins G3BP and DDX6, respectively. Research on UBAP2L has mostly focused on its role in SGs, but not its connection to PBs. We find that UBAP2L is not solely an SG protein but also localizes to PBs in certain conditions, contributes to PB biogenesis and SG-PB interactions, and can nucleate hybrid granules containing SG and PB components in cells. These findings inform a new model for SG and PB formation in the context of UBAP2L's role.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a comprehensive journal dedicated to publishing original discoveries across all realms of cell biology. We invite papers presenting novel cellular or molecular advancements in various domains of basic cell biology, along with applied cell biology research in diverse systems such as immunology, neurobiology, metabolism, virology, developmental biology, and plant biology. We enthusiastically welcome submissions showcasing significant findings of interest to cell biologists, irrespective of the experimental approach.
