Аннотация:Y-box-binding protein 1 (YB-1) is an animal multifunctional DNA/RNA-binding protein that is involved in reproduction, storing, and expression of genetic information. YB-1 accompanies mRNA throughout its life, from synthesis to degradation, and has a high specific and nonspecific affinity for RNA. In the nucleus YB-1 regulates mRNA processing. In the cytoplasm YB-1 is responsible for global and selective regulation of protein synthesis, as well as the mRNA life. This review focuses on the role of YB-1 in regulating translation. The possible mechanisms of the positive and negative effects of YB-1 on this process are considered. The recent original data are described, supporting the role of YB-1 as a major structural component of mRNP. Data about specific interactions of YB-1 with RNA are summarized for the first time.
