Abstract

Signal-peptide-mediated ER localization of mRNAs encoding for membrane and secreted proteins, and RNA-zipcode-mediated intracellular targeting of mRNAs encoding for cytosolic proteins are two well-known mechanisms for mRNA localization. Here, we report a previously unidentified mechanism by which mRNA encoding for Dia1, a cytosolic protein without the signal peptide, is localized to the perinuclear ER in an RNA-zipcode-independent manner in fibroblasts. Dia1 mRNA localization is also independent of the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton but requires translation and the association of Dia1 nascent peptide with the ribosome–mRNA complex. Sequence mapping suggests that interactions of the GTPase binding domain of Dia1 peptide with active Rho are important for Dia1 mRNA localization. This mechanism can override the β-actin RNA zipcode and redirect β-actin mRNA to the perinuclear region, providing a new way to manipulate intracellular mRNA localization.
