Terminal oligopyrimidine motif-containing mRNAs (TOPs) encode all ribosomal proteins in mammals and are regulated to tune ribosome synthesis to cell state. Previous studies implicate LARP1 in 40S- or 80S-ribosome complexes that repress and stabilize TOPs. However, a mechanistic understanding of how LARP1 and TOPs interact with these complexes to coordinate TOP outcomes is lacking. Here, we show that LARP1 senses the cellular supply of ribosomes by directly binding non-translating ribosomal subunits. Cryo-EM structures reveal a previously uncharacterized domain of LARP1 bound to and occluding the 40S mRNA channel. Free cytosolic ribosomes induce sequestration of TOPs in repressed 80S-LARP1-TOP complexes independent of alterations in mTOR signaling. Together, this work demonstrates a general ribosome-sensing function of LARP1 that allows it to tune ribosome protein synthesis to cellular demand.

Unlabelled: Single-cell transcriptomics studies have begun to identify breast epithelial cell and stromal cell specific transcriptome differences between BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and non-carriers. We generated a single-cell transcriptome atlas of breast tissues from BRCA1, BRCA2 mutation carriers and compared this single-cell atlas of mutation carriers with our previously described single-cell breast atlas of healthy non-carriers. We observed that BRCA1 but not BRCA2 mutations altered the ratio between basal (basal-myoepithelial), luminal progenitor (luminal adaptive secretory precursor, LASP), and mature luminal (luminal hormone sensing) cells in breast tissues.

Translation of 5' terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) mRNAs encoding the protein synthesis machinery is strictly regulated by an amino-acid-sensing mTOR pathway. However, its regulatory mechanism remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that TOP mRNA translation positively correlates with its poly(A) tail length under mTOR active/amino-acid-rich conditions, suggesting that TOP mRNAs are post-transcriptionally controlled by poly(A) tail-length regulation.

La-related protein 1 (LARP1) has been identified as a key translational inhibitor of terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) mRNAs downstream of the nutrient sensing protein kinase complex, mTORC1. LARP1 exerts this inhibitory effect on TOP mRNA translation by binding to the mRNA cap and the adjacent 5'TOP motif, resulting in the displacement of the cap-binding protein eIF4E from TOP mRNAs. However, the involvement of additional signaling pathway in regulating LARP1-mediated inhibition of TOP mRNA translation is largely unexplored.

Terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) motifs are sequences at the 5' ends of mRNAs that link their translation to the mTOR Complex 1 (mTORC1) nutrient-sensing signaling pathway. They are commonly regarded as discrete elements that reside on ∼100 mRNAs that mostly encode translation factors. However, the full spectrum of TOP sequences and their prevalence throughout the transcriptome remain unclear, primarily because of uncertainty over the mechanism that detects them.
