Localized mRNAs are transported to sites of local protein synthesis in large RNP granules, but their molecular composition is incompletely understood. IMP zipcode-binding proteins participate in mRNA localization, and in motile cells IMP-containing granules are dispersed around the nucleus and in cellular protrusions. We isolated the IMP1-containing RNP granules, and found that they represent a unique RNP entity, distinct from neuronal hStaufen and/or FMRP granules, P-bodies and stress-granules. Granules were 100-300 nm in diameter and consisted of IMPs, 40S ribosomal subunits, shuttling hnRNPs, poly(A)-binding proteins, and mRNAs. Moreover, granules contained CBP80 and factors belonging to the exon-junction complex, and lacked eIF4E, eIF4G and 60S ribosomal subunits, indicating that embodied mRNAs are not translated. Granules embodied mRNAs corresponding to about 3% of the HEK293 mRNA transcriptome. Messenger RNAs encoding proteins participating in the secretory pathway and ER-associated quality control, as well as ubiquitin-dependent metabolism, were enriched in the granules, reinforcing the concept of RNP granules as post-transcriptional operons.
