The GIGYF proteins associate with 4EHP and RNA-associated proteins to elicit transcript-specific translational repression. However, the mechanism by which the GIGYF1/2-4EHP complex is recruited to its target transcripts remain unclear. Here we report the crystal structures of the GYF domains from GIGYF1 and GIGYF2 in complex with proline-rich sequences from miRISC-binding proteins TNRC6C and TNRC6A, respectively. The TNRC6 proline-rich motifs bind to a conserved array of aromatic residues on the surface of the GIGYF1/2 GYF domain, bridging 4EHP to Argonaute-miRNA mRNA targets. Our structures also reveal a phenylalanine residue conserved from yeast to human GYF domains that contributes to GIGYF2 thermostability. The molecular details we outline here are likely to be conserved between GIGYF1/2 and other RNA-binding proteins to elicit 4EHP-mediated repression in different biological contexts.
