Multiple RNA-binding proteins can simultaneously bind to a single mRNA molecule
Multiple RNA-binding proteins can and frequently do bind simultaneously to a single mRNA molecule, forming complex messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles that cooperatively regulate gene expression.
The claim asserts that multiple RNA-binding proteins can simultaneously bind to a single mRNA molecule. Papers [5] and [11] directly support this by demonstrating both natural multi-RBP co-occupancy on individual mRNPs and the cooperative functional effects of multiple RNA-binding proteins targeting the same mRNA transcript. The other papers discuss general RNA-protein interactions or multiprotein complexes without contradicting the statement. Thus, the evidence strongly supports the claim.

This study uses single-molecule imaging to demonstrate that multiple copies of various RNA-binding proteins (such as Yra1, Nab2, and Npl3) simultaneously co-occupy individual nuclear mRNA molecules.

This research shows that combining multiple programmable RNA-binding proteins targeting independent sequences on a single mRNA molecule effectively and cooperatively regulates transcript function.
