SRP9 and SRP14 form a heterodimer that is required for specific binding to SRP RNA; neither protein alone can bind SRP RNA, and heterodimerization occurs independently of RNA. Both proteins are required to reconstitute the elongation arrest function of the Alu domain. |

SRP9 and SRP14 can be expressed as a single fused polypeptide chain (permuted fusion) that folds into a heterodimer-like structure, binds SRP RNA as a monomer, and confers both elongation arrest and translocation activities, demonstrating that the N- and C-termini of both proteins are dispensable for folding and RNA-binding. |

In yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Srp14p is an SRP subunit whose disruption causes slow growth and inefficient ER translocation. Srp14p is required for stable expression of the yeast SRP; loss of Srp14p reduces SRP RNA and protein levels, unlike loss of Srp54p or Sec65p. |

In primate cells, SRP9/14 is present in over 20-fold molar excess over assembled SRP. The excess SRP9/14 is predominantly cytoplasmic and not bound to SRP RNA, but a significant fraction associates with small cytoplasmic Alu RNAs in an 8.5S RNP, indicating roles beyond SRP assembly. |

In anthropoid primates, the SRP14 gene acquired a GCA trinucleotide repeat in its 3'-coding region producing an extended C-terminal alanine-rich tail. This repeat expansion is associated with increased SRP14 protein abundance and increased Alu RNA-binding activity in anthropoids compared to rodents. |

A C-terminal truncation of SRP14 (SRP14-20C) forms a stable complex with SRP9 and SRP RNA but completely abolishes elongation arrest activity without affecting signal recognition, targeting, or ribosome binding, demonstrating that the C-terminus of SRP14 specifically mediates ribosome interactions required for elongation arrest and that this truncation causes tertiary structural changes in SRP RNA. |

Mutational analysis identified RNA-binding determinants: acidic residues in the N-terminal α-helix of SRP9 and a flexible internal loop region in SRP14 are critical for RNA binding. The dimerization requirements differ substantially between SRP9 and SRP14; SRP14 tolerates fewer changes without losing dimerization activity. |

A minimal 86-nucleotide Alu RNA folding domain (SA86) was identified that competes efficiently with 7SL RNA for SRP9/14 binding and contains two stem-loops connected by a conserved bulge plus a central adaptor stem; this domain functions as an autonomous RNA folding unit, suggesting Alu RNA identity is determined by a characteristic tertiary structure. |

In S. cerevisiae, Srp14p binds as a homodimer (not a heterodimer) to the 5' sequences of scR1 RNA; its minimal binding site is 99 nt comprising a short hairpin and extended stem. The conserved UGUAAU motif and basic amino acid residues are essential for RNA binding, confirming common ancestry with mammalian SRP14 despite substantial changes in RNA-protein recognition. |

Crystal structures of the SRP9/14 heterodimer bound to the 5' domain alone or to a construct containing both 5' and 3' domains of SRP RNA revealed that SRP9/14 binds strongly to the conserved core 5' domain forming a U-turn, and the 3' domain docks more weakly and reversibly; this reversibility may be mechanistically important for translational regulation. |

Yeast SRP has elongation arrest activity dependent on the C-terminus of Srp14p. A C-terminal truncation (ΔC29) abolishes elongation arrest and substantially reduces translocation efficiency in vitro, and confers temperature-sensitive growth in vivo, demonstrating that elongation arrest is a physiologically important and conserved function of eukaryotic SRP. |

Biochemical and biophysical analysis demonstrated a hierarchical assembly of the SRP Alu domain: SRP9 and SRP14 first heterodimerize, then bind the Alu RNA 5' domain, which creates a binding site for the 3' domain; the 3' domain then folds back 180° onto the 5' domain complex to form the compact Alu RNP. This final step is likely reversible. |

Protein cross-linking experiments showed that SRP14 (Alu domain) is in close physical proximity to ribosomal proteins in functional SRP-ribosome complexes. Without a signal sequence, SRP14 cross-links to a large-subunit protein; upon signal sequence recognition, the Alu domain repositions to the ribosomal subunit interface, cross-linking to proteins of both large and small subunits. |

SRP14 depletion in mammalian cells prevents efficient protein translocation into the ER due to rate-limiting SRP receptor concentrations. Complementation with elongation-arrest-deficient SRP14 mutants caused defective secretion, depletion of endogenous membrane proteins, and reduced cell growth; these defects were reversed by slowing global translation or increasing SRP receptor expression, demonstrating that the elongation arrest function of SRP14 is essential to keep nascent chains translocation-competent during targeting. |

Mutational analysis of human SRP9/14 identified two patches of basic residues essential for elongation arrest: one patch includes the KRDKK pentapeptide (replaceable by four lysines), and a second includes three lysines in the α2 helix of SRP9. All essential residues cluster on one face of the heterodimer and likely interact electrostatically with ribosomal RNA phosphate backbone. |

During ER stress, SRP14 protein levels are markedly reduced via PERK-mediated eIF2α phosphorylation (but independently of ATF4/ATF3). This reduction correlates with decreased protein translocation into the ER (translocational attenuation). Enforced expression of elongation-arrest-competent SRP14 prevents reduced translocation of cathepsin D, while an elongation-arrest-deficient mutant does not; SRP14 overexpression augments UPR and aggravates ER-stress-induced cell death, identifying a PERK-SRP14 axis as a protective UPR mechanism. |

The SRP9/SRP14 interaction with the Alu RNA pseudoknot is dependent on a U-turn motif; mutation of a critical guanosine in BC200's pseudoknot significantly reduces BC200 expression. A short Alu RNA (EB120) lacking the canonical U-turn triad adopts a non-canonical fold (confirmed by SAXS and computational structure prediction) and fails to associate with SRP9/14 in cellular context. |
