Background: LIN-28B

Lin-28B (Lineage protein 28 homolog B) is a 35-37 kDa member of the Lin28 family of proteins. Although there is an accompanying Lin-28/28A molecule, Lin-28 and Lin-28B are not alternative splice forms but represent products of separate genes. Lin-28B is found in both the cytoplasm and nucleus of fetal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, embryonic liver and multiple tumor types. It is considered a regulator of miRNA activity. Active miRNAs arise from transcribed RNAs that are first cleaved by nuclear RNase III, next cleaved by cytoplasmic Dicer, and finally associate with Argonaute to generate a RISC RNA silencing complex. Lin-28A participates in the cytoplasmic uridylation of miRNAs on their 3’-end, blocking Dicer processing and initiating RNA degradation. Lin-28B, by contrast, acts in the nucleus and blocks the initial RNase III cleavage step. Human Lin-28B is 250 amino acids (aa) in length (SwissProt # Q6ZN17). It contains one CSD/cold shock domain (aa 29-102) plus two CCHC-type Zn-finger RNA bindingdomains (aa 127-144 and 149-166). Phosphorylation is known to occur on Ser105. There is one reported alternate start site at Met71, and there is a potential 11 aa substitution for aa 1-4. Two isoforms of LIN28B with apparent MWs of 22 kDa and 37 kDa have been reported. Over aa 83-250, human Lin-28B shares 84% aa sequence identity with mouse Lin-28B.
