Crystallography of the yeast complex establishes a Lsm1-2-3-6-5-7-4 ring topology in which the Lsm1 C-terminal extension plugs the central channel near the RNA-binding pockets, while Pat1 is recognized through Lsm2 and Lsm3 rather than Lsm1 [PMID:24139796, PMID:24247251]. The complex preferentially binds oligoadenylated and oligouridylated RNA 3' ends, a discrimination that requires both the Lsm1 Sm domain and its C-terminal extension and is amplified by Pat1, which itself contacts RNA and broadens specificity within the assembled complex [PMID:32518066, PMID:18719247, PMID:22450758, PMID:25035297]. Decapping activation requires both the RNA-binding step and facilitation of post-binding steps, whereas 3'-end protection requires only binding, separating the complex's two activities mechanistically [PMID:19643916]. Through this decay activity LSM1 controls histone mRNA levels: failure of histone mRNA turnover in lsm1Δ cells produces excess histones and replication-fork instability that is suppressed by reducing histone gene dosage [PMID:21487390], and in mouse zygotes LSM1-mediated decay of major satellite repeat RNA governs correct histone variant incorporation and asymmetric H3K9me3 in the male pronucleus [PMID:36810573]. Beyond bulk decay, the complex acts as a selective translational repressor of osmostress-induced mRNAs [PMID:30059503], and in neurons LSm1-containing mRNPs assembled in the nucleus relocate to dendritic spines upon glutamate receptor stimulation, marking them for regulated local translation [PMID:19188494].
