A Novel Role of the Mammalian GSPT/eRF3 Associating with Poly(A)-binding Protein in Cap/Poly(A)-dependent Translation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The mammalian GSPT, which consists of amino-terminal (N) and carboxyl-terminal (C) domains, functions as the eukaryotic releasing factor 3 (eRF3) by interacting with eRF1 in translation termination. This function requires only the C-domain that is homologous to the elongation factor (EF) 1alpha, while the N-domain interacts with polyadenylate-binding protein (PABP), which binds the poly(A) tail of mRNA and associates with the eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4G. Here we describe a novel role of GSPT in translation. We first determined an amino acid sequence required for the PABP interaction in the N-domain. Inhibition of this interaction significantly attenuated translation of capped/poly(A)-tailed mRNA not only in an in vitro translation system but also in living cells. There was a PABP-dependent linkage between the termination factor complex eRF1-GSPT and the initiation factor eIF4G associating with 5' cap through eIF4E. Although the inhibition of the GSPT-PABP interaction did not affect the de novo formation of an 80 S ribosomal initiation complex, it appears to suppress the subsequent recycle of ribosome. These results indicate that GSPT/eRF3 plays an important role in translation cycle through the interaction with PABP, in addition to mediating the termination with eRF1.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
