Synonyms:KIAA0731, LARP Background:RNA-binding protein that promotes translation of specific classes of mRNAs downstream of the mTORC1 complex. Associates with the mRNA 5'cap in an MTOR-dependent manner and associates with mRNAs containing a 5' terminal oligopyrimidine(5'TOP) motif, which is present in mRNAs encoding for ribosomal proteins and several components of the translation machinery. Associates with actively translating ribosomes via interaction with PABPC1/PABP and stimulates translation of mRNAs containing a 5'TOP, thereby regulating cell growth and proliferation. Positively regulates the replication of dengue virus(DENV)(PubMed:26735137).
