LIN28 acts as a 'translational enhancer', driving specific mRNAs to polysomes and thus increasing the efficiency of protein synthesis. The association of LIN28 with the translational machinery and target mRNAs results in an increased number of initiation events per molecule of mRNA and, indirectly, in stabilizing the mRNAs. IT binds IGF2 mRNA, MYOD1 mRNA, ARBP/36B4 ribosomal protein mRNA and its own mRNA. LIN28 is Essential for skeletal muscle differentiation program through the translational up-regulation of IGF2 expression.1) Gregory, S.G., (2006) Nature 441 (7091), 315-321.
