Translational Control by Prion-like Proteins

Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

Prion-like proteins overlap with intrinsically disordered and low-complexity sequence families. These proteins are widespread, especially among mRNA-binding proteins. A salient feature of these proteins is the ability to form protein assemblies with distinct biophysical and functional properties. While prion-like proteins are involved in myriad of cellular processes, we propose potential roles for protein assemblies in regulated protein synthesis. Since proteins are the ultimate functional output of gene expression, when, where, and how much of a particular protein is made dictates the functional state of a cell. Recent finding suggests that the prion-like proteins offer unique advantages in translation regulation and also raises questions regarding formation and regulation of protein assemblies.
