YB-1 is a member of the numerous families of proteins with an evolutionary ancient cold-shock domain. It is involved in many DNA- and RNA-dependent events and regulates gene expression at different levels. Previously, we found a regulatory element within the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of YB-1 mRNA that specifically interacted with YB-1 and poly(A)-binding protein (PABP); we also showed that PABP positively affected YB-1 mRNA translation in a poly(A) tail-independent manner (O. V. Skabkina, M. A. Skabkin, N.V. Popova, D. N. Lyabin, L. O. Penalva, and L. P. Ovchinnikov, J. Biol. Chem. 278:18191-18198, 2003). Here, YB-1 is shown to strongly and specifically inhibit its own synthesis at the stage of initiation, with accumulation of its mRNA in the form of free mRNPs. YB-1 and PABP binding sites have been mapped on the YB-1 mRNA regulatory element. These were UCCAG/ACAA for YB-1 and a similar to 50-nucleotide A-rich sequence for PABP that overlapped each other. PABP competes with YB-1 for binding to the YB-1 mRNA regulatory element and restores translational activity of YB-1 mRNA that has been inhibited by YB-1. Thus, YB-1 negatively regulates its own synthesis, presumably by specific interaction with the 3'UTR regulatory element, whereas PABP restores translational activity of YB-1 mRNA by displacing YB-1 from this element.
