In Figure 3A, the authors inadvertently duplicated the input levels of two different FLAG-tagged LARP1 fragments.

The C-terminal half of LARP1 selectively binds TOP sequences and the adjacent cap structure. (A) LARP1497–1019 selectively recognizes oligopyrimidine RNA sequences and the 5′ cap structure. Extracts were prepared from LARP1-null HEK-293T cells expressing either FLAG-tagged LARP1497–1019 or an N-terminal fragment (1–496) and treated with vehicle (DMSO) or 250 nM Torin 1 for 2 h. Extracts were then incubated with TOP or non-TOP (nTOP) 10 nt RNAs that were either capped or uncapped and containing a 3′ biotin. RNAs were then isolated using streptavidin-coated beads and analyzed by western blotting for the indicated proteins. (B) Endogenous LARP1 selectively recognizes capped oligopyrimidine RNA sequences. Extracts were prepared from WT HEK-293T cells treated with DMSO or 250 nM Torin 1 for 2 h, and then incubated with TOP or non-TOP (nTOP) 10 nt RNA probes that were either capped or uncapped and contained a 3′ biotin. RNA probes were isolated as in (A) and analyzed by western blotting for the indicated proteins. (C) LARP1497–1019 fails to interact with PABP. Extracts were prepared from LARP1-null HEK-293T cells expressing either FLAG-tagged LARP1497–1019 or an N-terminal fragment (1–496) and treated with vehicle (DMSO) or 250 nM Torin 1 for 2 h. FLAG-tagged proteins were then isolated by FLAG-affinity purification in the presence of RNase A, and analyzed by western blotting for the indicated proteins. (D) LARP1 mutation that disrupts cap binding prevents TOP mRNA regulation. LARP1-null HEK-293T cells were transfected with the indicated LARP1 cDNAs, along with TOP and non-TOP (nTOP) reporters as in Figure 1D, treated with vehicle (DMSO) or 250 nM Torin 1 for 6 h, and then analyzed for levels of Renilla and firefly luciferase. Data are Renilla/firefly, normalized to vehicle-treated nTOP levels for each LARP1 construct (n = 3, error bars are SD). (E) Expression levels of LARP1497–1019 WT and Y883A fragments. Cell extracts from cells treated as in (D) were analyzed by western blotting for the indicated proteins.
