La-related protein 1 (LARP1) is a 150 kDa protein that in humans is encoded by the LARP1 gene.[5][6][7] LARP1 is a novel target of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway, a circuitry often hyperactivated in cancer which regulates cell growth and proliferation primarily through the regulation of protein synthesis.[8]

Function

LARP1 is the largest of a 7-member family of LARP proteins (others are: LARP1B, LARP3 (aka genuine La or SSB), LARP4A, LARP4B, LARP6 and LARP7).

mesenchymal interactions.[6] Human LARP1 is present at low levels in normal, non-embryonic cells but is highly expressed in epithelial cancers (such as ovarian, colorectal, prostate, non-small cell lung, hepatocellular and cervical cancers).[11][12][13][14] Some studies have shown that high levels of LARP1 protein correlate with worse prognosis in cancer patients.[15][16]

LARP1 binds to and regulates the translation of terminal oligopyrimidine motif (TOP

Ras-MAPK mRNAs. The cluster of LARP1 homologs may function to control the expression of key developmental regulators.[19]

Several studies have demonstrated that LARP1 deficiency selectively affects the recruitment of TOP mRNAs to polysomes[citation needed]. In some cancer cells, LARP1 deficiency reduces proliferation and activates apoptotic cell death.[13] Even though a decrease abundance of proteins encoded by TOP mRNAs has been reported in LARP1 silenced cells, some researchers believe that this can be explained simply by the reduced number of TOP mRNA transcripts in LARP1-deficient cells[citation needed].
