TIA-1 acts downstream of eIF-2alpha phosphorylation to promote assembly of stress granules (SGs). A phosphomimetic eIF-2alpha mutant (S51D) induces SG assembly, a non-phosphorylatable mutant (S51A) prevents it, and a TIA-1 mutant lacking RNA-binding domains acts as a transdominant inhibitor of SG formation, placing TIA-1 downstream of eIF-2alpha in the pathway. |

Stress granule assembly is mediated by prion-like aggregation of TIA-1's glutamine-rich prion-related domain (PRD). The PRD is required for SG recruitment and exhibits concentration-dependent aggregation inhibited by HSP70; substitution of the PRD with the yeast prion domain SUP35-NM reconstitutes SG assembly. MEFs lacking TIA-1 show impaired SG formation with normal eIF2alpha phosphorylation, confirming TIA-1 acts downstream of eIF2alpha. |

TIA-1 and PABP-I dynamically and continuously shuttle in and out of stress granules, as demonstrated by FRAP of GFP-tagged proteins in live cells. Drugs that stabilize polysomes (emetine) dissolve preformed SGs, while drugs that destabilize polysomes (puromycin) promote SG assembly, indicating SGs and polysomes exist in equilibrium. |

In TIA-1 knockout macrophages, TNF-alpha protein production is significantly increased without change in transcript levels or half-life, but with increased polysome association of TNF-alpha mRNA, indicating TIA-1 inhibits translation rather than mRNA stability. |
