Here, we aimed at identifying regulators of cytoplasmic RNP granules characterized by the presence of the evolutionarily conserved Imp RNA-binding protein (a homolog of IGF2BP proteins).

Combining functional approaches, phospho-mapping and generation of phospho-variants, we further showed that EGFR signaling inhibits Imp-positive RNP granule assembly through activation of the MAPK-ERK pathway and downstream phosphorylation of Imp at the S15 residue.

Work in vitro has suggested that RA1 and RA2 differ in GTPase affinity, but their individual functions in vivo remain unknown. Combining bioinformatic and biochemical approaches, we find that both RA1 and RA2 bind to active Rap1 with similar affinities, and that their conserved N-terminal extensions enhance binding. We created Drosophila canoe mutants to test RA1 and RA2 function in vivo. Despite their similar affinities for Rap1, RA1 and RA2 play strikingly different roles.
