| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated on serine/threonine residues by AURKA within positions 166 and 197. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation on Thr-172 regulates cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translation of CPE-containing mRNAs. Phosphorylation on Thr-172 by AURKA and CAMK2A activates CPEB1. Phosphorylation on Thr-172 may be promoted by APLP1. Phosphorylation increases binding to RNA. |
| Function | Sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translation initiation during oocyte maturation, early development and at postsynapse sites of neurons. Binds to the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE), an uridine-rich sequence element (consensus sequence 5'-UUUUUAU-3') within the mRNA 3'-UTR. RNA binding results in a clear conformational change analogous to the Venus fly trap mechanism. In absence of phosphorylation and in association with TACC3 is also involved as a repressor of translation of CPE-containing mRNA.a repression that is relieved by phosphorylation or degradation. Involved in the transport of CPE-containing mRNA to dendrites.those mRNAs may be transported to dendrites in a translationally dormant form and translationally activated at synapses. Its interaction with APLP1 promotes local CPE-containing mRNA polyadenylation and translation activation. Induces the assembly of stress granules in the absence of stress. Required for cell cycle progression, specifically for prophase entry. |
