The targeting of mRNA and local protein synthesis is important for the generation and maintenance of cell polarity. As part of the translational machinery as well as an actin/microtubule-binding protein, elongation factor 1alpha (EF1alpha ) is a candidate linker between the protein translation apparatus and the cytoskeleton. We demonstrate in this work that EF1alpha colocalizes with beta -actin mRNA and F-actin in protrusions of chicken embryo fibroblasts and binds directly to F-actin and beta -actin mRNA simultaneously in vitro in actin cosedimentation and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. To investigate the role of EF1alpha in mRNA targeting, we mapped the two actin-binding sites on EF1alpha at high resolution and defined one site at the N-terminal 49 residues of domain I and the other at the C-terminal 54 residues of domain III. In vitro actin-binding assays and localization in vivo of recombinant full-length EF1alpha and its various truncates demonstrated that the C terminus of domain III was the dominant actin-binding site both in vitro and in vivo. We propose that the EF1alpha -F-actin complex is the scaffold that is important for beta -actin mRNA anchoring. Disruption of this complex would lead to delocalization of the mRNA. This hypothesis was tested by using two dominant negative polypeptides: the actin-binding domain III of EF1alpha and the EF1alpha -binding site of yeast Bni1p, a protein that inhibits EF1alpha binding to F-actin and also is required for yeast mRNA localization. We demonstrate that either domain III of EF1alpha or the EF1alpha -binding site of Bni1p inhibits EF1alpha binding to beta -actin mRNA in vitro and causes delocalization of beta -actin mRNA in chicken embryo fibroblasts. Taken together, these results implicate EF1alpha in the anchoring of beta -actin mRNA to the protrusion in crawling cells.
