4/ 🔬 Mechanistically, we observed increased association of IGF2BP3 with the mRNA decapping complex during ER stress, which can result in enhanced degradation of IGF2BP3 targets

3/📉 By tracking changes in total and newly transcribed mRNAs, we show that IGF2BP3 facilitates UPR via two distinct mechanisms:
• It reduces protein folding load by destabilizing most of its target mRNAs
• It upregulates UPR effectors stabilizing mRNAs encoding select transcriptional regulators

2/🔬 IGF2BP3 is an RNA-binding protein known for regulating mRNA stability, particularly in development & cancer. Surprisingly, under ER stress, IGF2BP3 binds key UPR effector transcripts including XBP1, HSPA5, and DDIT3 (CHOP) —major regulators of ER stress adaptation & apoptosis

1/ Thrilled to share the core of my PhD project—just posted on BioRxiv!🚨 We uncover a novel role for IGF2BP3 in regulating the cellular response to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress – the unfolded protein response (UPR). Thread 🧵 (1/6) ⬇️
