SummaryApproximately half of human genes generate mRNAs with alternative 3′ untranslated regions (3′UTRs). Through 3′UTR-mediated protein-protein interactions, alternative 3′UTRs enable multi-functionality of proteins with identical amino acid sequence. While studying how information on protein features is transferred from 3′UTRs to proteins, we discovered that the broadly expressed RNA-binding protein TIS11B forms a membraneless organelle, called TIS granule, that enriches membrane protein-encoding mRNAs with multiple AU-rich elements. TIS granules form a reticular meshwork intertwined with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The association between TIS granules and the ER creates a subcellular compartment—the TIGER domain—with a biophysically and biochemically distinct environment from the cytoplasm. This compartment promotes 3′UTR-mediated interaction of SET with membrane proteins, thus allowing increased surface expression and functional diversity of proteins, including CD47 and PD-L1. The TIGER domain is a subcellular compartment that enables formation of specific and functionally relevant protein-protein interactions that cannot be established outside.
