Posttranscriptional controls in higher eukaryotes are central to cell differentiation and developmental programs. These controls reflect sequence-specific interactions of mRNAs with one or more RNA binding proteins. The {alpha}-globin poly(C) binding proteins ({alpha}CPs) comprise a highly abundant subset of K homology (KH) domain RNA binding proteins and have a characteristic preference for binding single-stranded C-rich motifs. {alpha}CPs have been implicated in translation control and stabilization of multiple cellular and viral mRNAs. To explore the full contribution of {alpha}CPs to cell function, we have identified a set of mRNAs that associate in vivo with the major {alpha}CP2 isoforms. One hundred sixty mRNA species were consistently identified in three independent analyses of {alpha}CP2-RNP complexes immunopurified from a human hematopoietic cell line (K562). These mRNAs could be grouped into subsets encoding cytoskeletal components, transcription factors, proto-oncogenes, and cell signaling factors. Two mRNAs were linked to ceroid lipofuscinosis, indicating a potential role for {alpha}CP2 in this infantile neurodegenerative disease. Surprisingly, {alpha}CP2 mRNA itself was represented in {alpha}CP2-RNP complexes, suggesting autoregulatory control of {alpha}CP2 expression. In vitro analyses of representative target mRNAs confirmed direct binding of {alpha}CP2 within their 3' untranslated regions. These data expand the list of mRNAs that associate with {alpha}CP2 in vivo and establish a foundation for modeling its role in coordinating pathways of posttranscriptional gene regulation.
