Characterization of sequence specific binding of LARP6 to the 5’ stem-loop of type I collagen mRNAs and implications for rational design of antifibrotic drugs
2020-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Excessive synthesis of type I collagen characterizes fibrotic diseases. Binding of LARP6 to the 5’ stem-loop (5’SL) of collagen mRNAs regulates their translation and the high rate of biosynthesis in fibrosis. LARP6 needs two domains to form stable complex with 5’SL RNA, the La-domain and the juxtaposed RRM domain (jointly called the La-module). We describe that the La-domain of LARP6 is necessary and sufficient fo...
