RESUMO

Eukaryotic Y-box proteins are nucleic acid-binding proteins implicated in a wide range of gene regulatory mechanisms. They contain the cold shock domain, which is a nucleic acid-binding structure also found in bacterial cold shock proteins. The Y-box protein YB-1 is known to be a core component of messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) in the cytoplasm. Here we disrupted the YB-1 gene in chicken DT40 cells. Through the immunoprecipitation of an epitope-tagged YB-1 protein, which complemented the slow-growth phenotype of YB-1-depleted cells, we isolated YB-1-associated complexes that likely represented general mRNPs in somatic cells. RNase treatment prior to immunoprecipitation led to the identification of a Y-box protein-associated acidic protein (YBAP1). The specific association of YB-1 with YBAP1 resulted in the release of YB-1 from reconstituted YB-1-mRNA complexes, thereby reducing the translational repression caused by YB-1 in the in vitro system. Our data suggest that YBAP1 induces the remodeling of YB-1-mRNA complexes.
