Disease relevance of STAU1

 

High impact information on STAU1

  • Here we describe an mRNA decay mechanism that involves Stau1, the NMD factor Upf1, and a termination codon [2].
  • Immunofluorescent double labeling of transfected mammalian cells revealed that Stau is localized to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), implicating this RNA-binding protein in mRNA targeting to the RER, perhaps via a multistep process involving microtubules [3].
  • Although Stau2 has many features in common with its paralogue Stau1, it does not colocalize with Stau1-containing particles, indicating that these proteins are components of different complexes in dendrites [4].
  • Apart from those three exons, the overall organization of the stau gene is similar in the two species, and the positions of the exon-intron junctions are perfectly conserved [5].
  • However, Stau1 nuclear transit seems to be regulated by mechanisms that involve cytoplasmic retention and/or facilitated nuclear export [6].
 

Anatomical context of STAU1

 

Physical interactions of STAU1

  • SMD depends on the recruitment of Upf1 by the RNA-binding protein Stau1 but does not depend on the other Upf proteins [7].
