    text
  • located in the nucleus as well as in the cytoplasm (PMID;
  • targeted to mitochondria where it forms granules that colocalize with foci of newly synthesized mtRNA next to mitochondrial nucleoids (PMID;
  • previously reported to localize in the cytosol, but an isoform of GRSF1 accumulates in discrete foci in the mitochondrial matrix (PMID;
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in the binding of RNAS containing the 14 bases G-rich element
  • mRNA-binding protein involved in translation activation
  • functions by selectively recruiting cellular and viral mRNAs containing 5prime UTR GRSF1 binding sites to polyribosomes, which is mediated through interactions with cellular proteins
  • implicated in the influenza viral life cycle, embryonic brain development and the regulation of apoptosis
  • functional component of several cellular signalling pathways as well as of the regulation of the cellular redox homeostasis
  • is a key regulator of posttranscriptional mitochondrial gene expression
  • regulates RNA processing in mitochondrial RNA granules

    protein
  • GRSF1 up-regulates translation of GPX4 mRNA and implicate the two proteins in embryonic brain development
  • preferentially binds RNAs transcribed from three contiguous genes on the light strand of mtDNA, the MT-ND6 mRNA, and the long noncoding RNAs for MT-CYB and MT-ND5
  • interact with RNase P and required for processing of both classical and tRNA-less RNA precursors
  • GRSF1 controls translation of the SNARE protein USE1, possibly by positioning the 40S ribosomal subunit and associated translation factors in front of the translation start site
