Function
RSSA_RABIT Required for the assembly and/or stability of the 40S ribosomal subunit (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755). Required for the processing of the 20S rRNA-precursor to mature 18S rRNA in a late step of the maturation of 40S ribosomal subunits (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755). Also functions as a cell surface receptor for laminin (By similarity). Plays a role in cell adhesion to the basement membrane and in the consequent activation of signaling transduction pathways (By similarity). May play a role in cell fate determination and tissue morphogenesis (By similarity). Also acts as a receptor for several other ligands, including the pathogenic prion protein, viruses, and bacteria. Acts as a PPP1R16B-dependent substrate of PPP1CA (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_03016][1] [2]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The cricket paralysis virus (CrPV) uses an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) to hijack the ribosome. In a remarkable RNA-based mechanism involving neither initiation factor nor initiator tRNA, the CrPV IRES jumpstarts translation in the elongation phase from the ribosomal A site. Here, we present cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps of 80SCrPV-STOPeRF1eRF3GMPPNP and 80SCrPV-STOPeRF1 complexes, revealing a previously unseen binding state of the IRES and directly rationalizing that an eEF2-dependent translocation of the IRES is required to allow the first A-site occupation. During this unusual translocation event, the IRES undergoes a pronounced conformational change to a more stretched conformation. At the same time, our structural analysis provides information about the binding modes of eRF1eRF3GMPPNP and eRF1 in a minimal system. It shows that neither eRF3 nor ABCE1 are required for the active conformation of eRF1 at the intersection between eukaryotic termination and recycling.
