TIA1 has three RNA-Recognition Motifs (RRMs) and a prion-like carboxyl C-terminal domain (LCD) with intrinsically disordered regions (IDR) implicated in the dynamics (i.e., formation, assembly, and disassembly) of transient RNA-protein aggregates known as stress granules (SGs). A protein related to TIA1 is its paralog TIA1-related\/like protein (TIAR\/TIAL1), whose amino acid sequence, structural organisation, and molecular and cellular functions are highly conserved with TIA1. Both proteins are the main components of SGs, which are non-membranous RNA-protein condensates formed under stress to promote cell survival. Welander distal myopathy (WDM) is a late-onset muscular dystrophy that has been linked to a single-nucleotide substitution (c.1362G&gt;A; p.E384K) in the gene encoding the TIA1 protein, which impacts TIA1-dependent SGs dynamics. Herein, we have analysed cellular and molecular aspects by targeting mutagenesis to position 384 to understand its molecular grammar in an amino acid\/proteinogenic-dependent or -independent manner under oxidative stress. The observations suggest differential, even opposing, behaviours between TIA1 and TIAR in the presence of specific amino acids with negative and positive charges, and also uncharged acids, at equivalent positions of TIA1 and TIAR, respectively. Collectively, these findings illustrate a characteristic molecular grammar of TIAR- and TIA1-dependent SGs under oxidative conditions, suggesting a gain of versatility between two structurally and functionally highly conserved\/related proteins.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells13231961","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]],"date-time":"2024-11-27T04:20:12Z","timestamp":1732681212000},"page":"1961","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Decoding the Molecular Grammar of TIA1-Dependent Stress Granules in Proteostasis and Welander Distal Myopathy Under Oxidative Stress"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5113-4248","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Alcalde-Rey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Biolog\u00eda Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBM), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid (CSIC\/UAM), C\/Nicol\u00e1s Cabrera 1, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beatriz Ramos","family":"Velasco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Biolog\u00eda Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBM), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid (CSIC\/UAM), C\/Nicol\u00e1s Cabrera 1, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Alcalde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Biolog\u00eda Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBM), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid (CSIC\/UAM), C\/Nicol\u00e1s Cabrera 1, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7942-4046","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 M.","family":"Izquierdo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Biolog\u00eda Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBM), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid (CSIC\/UAM), C\/Nicol\u00e1s Cabrera 1, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"629","DOI":"10.1016\/0092-8674(91)90536-8","article-title":"A polyadenylate binding protein localized to the granules of cytolytic lymphocytes induces DNA fragmentation in target cells","volume":"67","author":"Tian","year":"1991","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3227","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.115.16.3227","article-title":"Stressful initiations","volume":"115","author":"Anderson","year":"2002","journal-title":"J.
