Previous studies revealed that UPF1 is associated with the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNAs via as-yet-unknown sequence features. Herein, we aimed to identify characteristic sequence features of UPF1 targets. We identified 246 UPF1 targets by measuring RNA stabilization upon UPF1 depletion and by identifying mRNAs that associate with UPF1. By analyzing RNA footprint data of phosphorylated UPF1 and two CLIP-seq data of UPF1, we found that 3′ UTR but not 5′ UTRs or open reading frames of UPF1 targets have GC-rich motifs embedded in high GC-content regions. Reporter gene experiments revealed that GC-rich motifs in UPF1 targets were indispensable for UPF1-mediated mRNA decay. These findings highlight the important features of UPF1 target 3′ UTRs.

  • Crystal Structure of the UPF2-Interacting Domain of Nonsense-Mediated Mrna Decay Factor UPF1
    JOBNAME: RNA 12#10 2006 PAGE: 1 OUTPUT: Friday September 8 11:24:46 2006 csh/RNA/122854/rna1776 Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 28, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Crystal structure of the UPF2-interacting domain of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor UPF1 JAN KADLEC, DELPHINE GUILLIGAY, RAIMOND B. RAVELLI, and STEPHEN CUSACK European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Grenoble Outstation, BP 181, 38042 Grenoble Cedex 9, France ABSTRACT UPF1 is an essential eukaryotic RNA helicase that plays a key role in various mRNA degradation pathways, notably nonsense- mediated mRNA decay (NMD). In combination with UPF2 and UPF3, it forms part of the surveillance complex that detects mRNAs containing premature stop codons and triggers their degradation in all organisms studied from yeast to human. We describe the 3 A˚ resolution crystal structure of the highly conserved cysteine–histidine-rich domain of human UPF1 and show that it is a unique combination of three zinc-binding motifs arranged into two tandem modules related to the RING-box and U-box domains of ubiquitin ligases. This UPF1 domain interacts with UPF2, and we identified by mutational analysis residues in two distinct conserved surface regions of UPF1 that mediate this interaction. UPF1 residues we identify as important for the interaction with UPF2 are not conserved in UPF1 homologs from certain unicellular parasites that also appear to lack UPF2 in their genomes.

  • 4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
    Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4).

    Rules that govern UPF1 binding to mRNA 3′ UTRs Tatsuaki Kurosaki and Lynne E. Maquat1 Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, School of Medicine and Dentistry, and Center for RNA Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14642 Edited by James L. Manley, Columbia University, New York, NY, and approved January 18, 2013 (received for review November 14, 2012) Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), which degrades tran- recruits protein phosphatase 2A to return UPF1 to its steady-state scripts harboring a premature termination codon (PTC), depends hypophosphorylated status (19–22). on the helicase up-frameshift 1 (UPF1). However, mRNAs that are The importance of NMD in human pathologies is underscored not NMD targets also bind UPF1. What governs the timing, position, by the many genetically inherited diseases (23–25) that are due to and function of UPF1 binding to mRNAs remains unclear. We provide a PTC-containing mRNA. Read-through therapies have shown evidence that (i) multiple UPF1 molecules accumulate on the 3′-un- promise in generating full-length proteins without concomitantly translated region (3′ UTR) of PTC-containing mRNAs and to an ex- stabilizing PTC-bearing mRNAs (26, 27).
