Function

Mediates pre-mRNA alternative splicing regulation. Acts either as activator or repressor of splicing on specific pre-mRNA targets. Inhibits cardiac troponin-T (TNNT2) pre-mRNA exon inclusion but induces insulin receptor (IR) pre-mRNA exon inclusion in muscle. Antagonizes the alternative splicing activity pattern of CELF proteins. Regulates the TNNT2 exon 5 skipping through competition with U2AF2. Inhibits the formation of the spliceosome A complex on intron 4 of TNNT2 pre-mRNA. Binds to the stem-loop structure within the polypyrimidine tract of TNNT2 intron 4 during spliceosome assembly. Binds to the 5'-YGCU(U/G)Y-3'consensus sequence. Binds to the IR RNA. Binds to expanded CUG repeat RNA, which folds into a hairpin structure containing GC base pairs and bulged, unpaired U residues. Together with RNA binding proteins RBPMS and RBFOX2, activates vascular smooth muscle cells alternative splicing events (PubMed:37548402). Regulates NCOR2 alternative splicing (By similarity).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

The MBNL1 protein also known as Muscleblind-like protein 1 or MBNL1 is a RNA-binding protein with a molecular mass of approximately 38 kDa. This protein has a central role in the regulation of alternative splicing. It binds to specific RNA motifs and affects the splicing of pre-mRNA. MBNL1 is expressed widely in many tissues including skeletal and cardiac muscles as well as the brain indicating its wide-ranging importance in various cellular processes.

Biological function summary

The MBNL1 protein is involved in the regulation of mRNA metabolism. It functions not just individually but often as a part of larger ribonucleic complexes impacting RNA stability and translation. MBNL1 controls the alternative splicing of numerous transcripts which is necessary for the proper development and function of tissues. Disruptions in MBNL1 activity can lead to mis-splicing of transcripts which demonstrates the key role it plays in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

The MBNL1 protein contributes significantly to splicing regulation and muscle-specific gene expression pathways. It interacts with proteins like CELF1 which modulate pre-mRNA processing. These pathways are vital for muscle cell differentiation and maintenance with MBNL1 acting alongside other splicing factors to ensure the correct expression patterns necessary for tissue-specific functions. The balance between MBNL1 and its interacting partners influences splicing outcomes and gene expression.

Associated diseases and disorders

The dysregulation of MBNL1 activity is implicated in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). In these conditions expanded CUG or CCUG repeat RNAs sequester MBNL1 disrupting its function and leading to splicing abnormalities. Through this mechanism MBNL1 connects to other proteins like CUGBP1 which also influences splicing in muscle and other tissues. The resulting mis-splicing from impaired MBNL1 activity underlies many symptoms seen in these muscular disorders highlighting the protein's clinical relevance.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-MBNL1 antibody (ab45899)

    IHC image of ab45899 staining in human skeletal muscle formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab45899, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
