The G3BP Stress-Granule Proteins Reinforce the Translation Program of the Integrated Stress Response

When mammalian cells are exposed to stress, they coordinate the condensation of stress granules (SGs) through the action of proteins G3BP1 and G3BP2 (G3BPs) and, simultaneously, undergo a massive reduction in translation. Although SGs and G3BPs have been linked to this translation response, their overall impact has been unclear. Here, we investigate the question of how, and indeed whether, G3BPs and SGs shape the stress translation response. We find that SGs are enriched for mRNAs that are resistant to the stress-induced translation shutdown. Although the accurate recruitment of these stress-resistant mRNAs does require the context of stress, a combination of optogenetic tools and spike-normalized ribosome profiling demonstrates that G3BPs and SGs are necessary and sufficient to both help prioritize the translation of their enriched mRNAs and help suppress cytosolic translation. Together these results support a model in which G3BPs and SGs reinforce the stress translation program by prioritizing the translation of their resident mRNAs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
