“…Notably, a multitude of novel interactors belonged to the “neuronal cell body” and “neuron projections” clusters, proposing potential neuron-specific partners of ORF1p such as Grm2/5, Bai1, Epha4, Kcnn2, Grik2 and Dmd among others. A last cluster, formed by Ncoa5 (Nuclear Receptor Coactivator 5), Nxf1 (Nuclear RNA Export Factor 1), Ranbp2 and Nup133 (both nucleoporins), might imply a role for these interactions in L1-RNA nuclear export and/or a mechanism for the LINE-1 RNP to gain access to the nucleus in post- mitotic neurons, a process we described recently in human neurons 28 . Altogether, the identification of known and novel interactors of ORF1p in the mouse brain suggests roles of ORF1p in the LINE-1 life cycle (RNA binding and metabolism, RNP formation, nuclear access) but also suggests potential novel physiological roles of ORF1p in the brain related to cytoskeleton organization, cGMP signaling, neuron-specific functions (i.e.…”
