Function

RNA-binding protein that binds to the 3'-UTR region of mRNAs and increases their stability (PubMed:14517288, PubMed:18285462, PubMed:31358969). Involved in embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation: preferentially binds mRNAs that are not methylated by N6-methyladenosine (m6A), stabilizing them, promoting ESC differentiation (By similarity). Has also been shown to be capable of binding to m6A-containing mRNAs and contributes to MYC stability by binding to m6A-containing MYC mRNAs (PubMed:32245947). Binds to poly-U elements and AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3'-UTR of target mRNAs (PubMed:14731398, PubMed:17632515, PubMed:18285462, PubMed:23519412, PubMed:8626503). Binds avidly to the AU-rich element in FOS and IL3/interleukin-3 mRNAs. In the case of the FOS AU-rich element, binds to a core element of 27 nucleotides that contain AUUUA, AUUUUA, and AUUUUUA motifs. Binds preferentially to the 5'-UUUU[AG]UUU-3' motif in vitro (PubMed:8626503). With ZNF385A, binds the 3'-UTR of p53/TP53 mRNA to control their nuclear export induced by CDKN2A. Hence, may regulate p53/TP53 expression and mediate in part the CDKN2A anti-proliferative activity. May also bind with ZNF385A the CCNB1 mRNA (By similarity). Increases the stability of the leptin mRNA harboring an AU-rich element (ARE) in its 3' UTR (PubMed:29180010).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

HuR also known as ELAVL1 is a protein that binds RNA in cells. It weighs about 36 kDa and is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Its name HuR comes from its similarity to human antigen R. Researchers often call it the HuR protein or ELAVL1 protein. This protein helps stabilize certain mRNA molecules by binding to AU-rich elements (AREs) in their 3' untranslated regions. Its binding affects mRNA decay rates and therefore influences protein synthesis.

Biological function summary

HuR influences cell growth differentiation and stress responses. It does not work alone; it often forms part of larger ribonucleoprotein complexes. By stabilizing mRNAs HuR ensures the continuous production of proteins necessary for cell survival and adaptation to stressors. This regulatory role highlights its involvement in many cellular processes making it a focus for study in relation to cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

HuR is part of the mRNA surveillance pathway and the response to cellular stress. HuR modulates gene expression by interacting with proteins involved in transcription and translation regulation. It frequently partners with proteins like TTP (tristetraprolin) that also bind to AREs affecting mRNA stability and translation processes. Such interactions extend HuR's influence across pathways related to gene expression regulation and response to stress.

Associated diseases and disorders

Researchers associate HuR with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer HuR stabilizes mRNAs of many oncogenes aiding tumor growth and progression. It may interact with proteins like p53 affecting tumor suppressor pathways. For neurodegenerative diseases HuR's role in mRNA stability can influence neural health connected to proteins like TDP-43 in conditions such as Alzheimer's and ALS. Understanding HuR's function offers insights into potential therapeutic targets for these diseases.
