Gene Description

RACK1 (Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1; formerly GNB2L1) is a highly conserved seven-bladed WD40 beta-propeller protein that is an integral component of the small (40S) ribosomal subunit, where it sits on the head of the subunit near the mRNA exit channel. As a ribosomal protein it contributes to translational control and is a central platform for ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) of stalled and collided ribosomes, promoting regulatory ubiquitylation of a subset of 40S ribosomal proteins together with the E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNF598 to resolve poly(A)-induced and other terminal stalls. Independently of the ribosome, RACK1 is a versatile signaling scaffold whose WD40 propeller mediates interactions with a large set of partners; it binds and stabilizes activated protein kinase C, inhibits Src-family tyrosine kinases, and acts as an adaptor that assembles and regulates diverse signaling complexes affecting cell growth, migration, apoptosis, receptor/channel trafficking and the stability of clients such as HIF1A. RACK1 is predominantly cytosolic and ribosome-associated, with additional context-dependent localizations (plasma membrane, perinuclear region, nucleus, neuronal projections). It is also exploited by numerous viruses and pathogens to remodel translation or subvert host signaling.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0005080 protein kinase C binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: RACK1 binds and stabilizes activated protein kinase C; this is a well-documented direct molecular function and the origin of its name (Receptor for Activated C Kinase).
Reason: Direct PKC binding is experimentally established (also captured by the IDA annotation from PMID:11279199) and represents a genuine scaffold molecular function, but it is secondary to RACK1's core role as a ribosomal/RQC component.
Supporting Evidence:
file:human/RACK1/RACK1-uniprot.txt
Binds to and stabilizes activated protein kinase C (PKC), increasing PKC-mediated phosphorylation.
GO:0072344 rescue of stalled cytosolic ribosome
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: RACK1 participates in resolving stalled cytosolic ribosomes as part of ribosome-associated quality control, supported by phylogenetic transfer from yeast Asc1 and directly demonstrated in human cells.
Reason: This is a core function. RACK1 helps resolve poly(A)-induced stalled ribosomes by regulating 40S ubiquitylation (PMID:28132843); the IBA transfer from Asc1 is concordant with direct human evidence.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:28132843

GO:0043022 ribosome binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: RACK1 binds the ribosome; as an integral 40S component this is well supported structurally and functionally.
Reason: RACK1 is a constituent of the 40S subunit and binds the 80S ribosome (cryo-EM, PMID:23636399); ribosome binding is a core molecular function underlying its RQC role.

GO:2001125 negative regulation of translational frameshifting
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Phylogenetic transfer from yeast Asc1, which suppresses translational frameshifting/readthrough at stalls; consistent with RACK1's role in preventing readthrough of stall sequences.
Reason: Concordant with RACK1's RQC role (loss causes readthrough of poly(A) stalls, PMID:28132843), but this specific frameshifting term is an Asc1-derived facet kept as supporting rather than the primary core term.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:28132843

GO:0001891 phagocytic cup
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Localization to phagocytic cups reported during Yersinia infection; a specialized infection context rather than a core compartment.
Reason: Supported by IDA in an infection setting (PMID:21347310) but peripheral to the core cytosolic/ribosomal localization.

Summary: A nuclear pool of RACK1 is reported in some contexts (e.g. with HIF1A/AR signaling), but the predominant localization is cytosolic/ribosomal.
Reason: Context-dependent nuclear localization is documented (IDA PMID:10849009, PMID:17108144) but is non-core relative to the cytosolic ribosomal pool.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: To what extent are RACK1's many signaling/moonlighting functions performed by the ribosome-bound pool versus a free cytosolic pool, and is there a regulated equilibrium between them?

Q: What is the precise mechanistic role of RACK1 in collision sensing relative to ZNF598 and EDF1 - does it act as the primary platform that positions the E3 ligase on collided ribosomes?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Selective ribosome profiling and disome-seq in RACK1-knockout versus wild-type cells to quantify the contribution of RACK1 to collision-induced stalling resolution and 40S ubiquitylation genome-wide.

Experiment: Separation-of-function mutagenesis of the RACK1 WD40 surface to uncouple ribosome binding from PKC/Src scaffold interactions, testing which surfaces are required for RQC versus signaling outputs.

Experiment: Cryo-EM of collided disomes reconstituted with RACK1, ZNF598 and EDF1 to define the structural basis of RACK1-dependent recruitment of the ubiquitylation machinery.
