DescriptionDescription

Lin28 is a conserved cytoplasmic protein with an unusual pairing of RNA binding motifs: a cold shock domain and a pair of retroviral type CCHC zinc fingers. It plays a critical role in developmental transition, glucose metabolism, and tumorigenesis. At the molecular level, Lin28 is known to repress maturation of let-7 microRNAs and enhance translation of certain mRNAs. Mammals have two homologs, Lin28a and Lin28b. These two homologs are found from worms to humans.[1][2] Lin28a is highly expressed in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and was shown as one of the four factors that convert fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells.[3]

ActivityActivity

At the molecular level, Lin28 acts as a suppressor of let-7 microRNA biogenesis.[4][5][6][7] In the nucleus, Lin28 binds to the primary transcript of let-7 (pri-let-7) and prevents its processing by RNase III DROSHA.[8][9] In the cytoplasm, it interacts with the precursor form of let-7 (pre-let-7) and interferes with pre-let-7 processing. [10][11] Lin28 recruits TUTase 4 (ZCCHC11) to induce oligo-uridylation of pre-let-7, which effectively blocks DICER processing and facilitates degradation of the RNA. [12][13][14] Lin28A is found mostly in the cytoplasmic compartment and acts in concert with TUTase 4.[15]

Let-7 is a key target of Lin28 but there are four additional functions: First, during retinoic-acid-induced neurogliogenesis, Lin28a overexpression altered the expression of several transcription factors involved in early embryonic cell fate decision before any increase in let-7 level was detected. [16] Second, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance were observed in muscle-specific Lin28a knockout mice without significant changes in the let-7 level.[17] Third, Lin28A interacts with mRNAs and cosediments with polysome in sucrose gradient centrifugation.[18] Consistently, several studies reported that Lin28A can bind to and enhance translation of certain mRNAs such as Igf2 in differentiating myoblasts and Oct4 in ESCs.[19][20][21][22]

StructureStructure

Lin28 consists of two domains: a cold shock domain and a pair of CCHC zinc fingers. Both are RNA binding domains. The cold-shock domain (CSD) at the N-terminal part of lin28A interacts with a loop, with a GNGAY motif, of the RNA. The other domain has the binding element AAGNNG (most frequent sequence: AAGGAG) which can be found downstream of the GNGAY motif. The first G builds a hydrogen bond with in the zinc finger motif. [23]

When lin28A interacts with let-7 than they build a complex with a crystallographic structure together.
