Function

Translation regulator forming a complex with DENR to promote translation reinitiation. Translation reinitiation is the process where the small ribosomal subunit remains attached to the mRNA following termination of translation of a regulatory upstream ORF (uORF), and resume scanning on the same mRNA molecule to initiate translation of a downstream ORF, usually the main ORF (mORF). The MCTS1/DENR complex is pivotal to two linked mechanisms essential for translation reinitiation. Firstly, the dissociation of deacylated tRNAs from post-termination 40S ribosomal complexes during ribosome recycling. Secondly, the recruitment in an EIF2-independent manner of aminoacylated initiator tRNA to P site of 40S ribosomes for a new round of translation (PubMed:16982740, PubMed:20713520, PubMed:37875108). This regulatory mechanism governs the translation of more than 150 genes which translation reinitiation is MCTS1/DENR complex-dependent (PubMed:16982740, PubMed:20713520, PubMed:37875108). Consequently, modulates various unrelated biological processes including cell cycle regulation and DNA damage signaling and repair (PubMed:10440924, PubMed:11709712, PubMed:12637315, PubMed:15897892, PubMed:16322206, PubMed:17016429, PubMed:17416211, PubMed:9766643). Notably, it positively regulates interferon gamma immunity to mycobacteria by enhancing the translation of JAK2 (PubMed:37875108).

Activity summary

MCTS1 also known as malignancy-associated gene protein MCT-1 is a protein with a molecular weight of about 18 kDa. It functions as a translation enhancer and is involved in the regulation of protein synthesis. The protein can bind to the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) and is expressed in a variety of tissues with higher expression levels often observed in tumor cells. MCTS1's role in promoting efficient translation initiation highlights its mechanistic involvement in the cellular growth process.

Biological function summary

This protein influences cell cycle progression and survival. It forms part of a complex with density-regulated protein (DENR) which aids in ribosomal recycling and the translation initiation of short upstream open reading frames. MCTS1 contributes to the modulation of cellular response to stress and is significant in processes related to cancer cell proliferation.

Pathways

The role of MCTS1 includes involvement in the mTOR and MAPK signaling pathways which regulate cell growth and survival. MCTS1 interacts with the mTOR signaling pathway and can influence translation machinery components linking it to growth-related processes. Additionally its association with eIF3 positions it within the context of translation initiation pathways where it cooperates with other proteins to fine-tune protein synthesis.

Associated diseases and disorders

The overexpression of MCTS1 links it to cancers such as breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Research indicates that MCTS1 alongside proteins like mTOR and eIF3 play a role in tumor progression and oncogenesis. The protein's involvement in translation initiation and cell growth processes suggests potential as a biomarker and target for therapeutic interventions in these malignancies.
