To help our understanding of how DDX6 performs these multiple functions, we conducted the first unbiased, large-scale study to map the DDX6-centric protein-protein interactome using immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. Using DDX6 as bait, we identify a high-confidence and high-quality set of protein interaction partners which are enriched for functions in RNA metabolism and ribosomal proteins.

  • Identification of Edc3p As an Enhancer of Mrna Decapping In
    Copyright 2004 by the Genetics Society of America Identification of Edc3p as an Enhancer of mRNA Decapping in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Meenakshi Kshirsagar and Roy Parker1 Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721-0106 Manuscript received July 8, 2003 Accepted for publication October 27, 2003 ABSTRACT The major pathway of mRNA decay in yeast initiates with deadenylation, followed by mRNA decapping and 5Ј–3Ј exonuclease digestion. An in silico approach was used to identify new proteins involved in the mRNA decay pathway. One such protein, Edc3p, was identified as a conserved protein of unknown function having extensive two-hybrid interactions with several proteins involved in mRNA decapping and 5Ј–3Ј degradation including Dcp1p, Dcp2p, Dhh1p, Lsm1p, and the 5Ј–3Ј exonuclease, Xrn1p. We show that Edc3p can stimulate mRNA decapping of both unstable and stable mRNAs in yeast when the decapping enzyme is compromised by temperature-sensitive alleles of either the DCP1 or the DCP2 genes. In these cases, deletion of EDC3 caused a synergistic mRNA-decapping defect at the permissive temperatures. The edc3⌬ had no effect when combined with the lsm1⌬, dhh1⌬,orpat1⌬ mutations, which appear to affect an early step in the decapping pathway. This suggests that Edc3p specifically affects the function of the decapping enzyme per se. Consistent with a functional role in decapping, GFP-tagged Edc3p localizes to cytoplasmic foci involved in mRNA decapping referred to as P-bodies. These results identify Edc3p as a new protein involved in the decapping reaction. N eukaryotic cells, mRNA turnover and its regulation al.

In eukaryotic cells, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) constitutes an mRNA surveillance pathway for sensing and degrading aberrant transcripts harboring premature termination codons (PTCs). NMD functions also as a post-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanism by downregulating naturally occurring mRNAs. As NMD is activated only after a ribosome reaches a PTC, PTC-containing mRNAs inevitably produce truncated and potentially misfolded polypeptides as byproducts. To cope with the emergence of misfolded polypeptides, eukaryotic cells have evolved sophisticated mechanisms such as chaperone-mediated protein refolding, rapid degradation of misfolded polypeptides through the ubiquitin–proteasome system, and sequestration of misfolded polypeptides to the aggresome for autophagy-mediated degradation. In this review, we discuss how UPF1, a key NMD factor, contributes to the selective removal of faulty transcripts via NMD at the molecular level. We then highlight recent advances on UPF1-mediated communication between mRNA surveillance and protein quality control.

  • Unraveling Regulation and New Components of Human P-Bodies Through a Protein Interaction Framework and Experimental Validation
    Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press PERSPECTIVE Unraveling regulation and new components of human P-bodies through a protein interaction framework and experimental validation DINGHAI ZHENG,1,2 CHYI-YING A. CHEN,1 and ANN-BIN SHYU3 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Texas Medical School, Houston, Texas 77021, USA ABSTRACT The cellular factors involved in mRNA degradation and translation repression can aggregate into cytoplasmic domains known as GW bodies or mRNA processing bodies (P-bodies). However, current understanding of P-bodies, especially the regulatory aspect, remains relatively fragmentary. To provide a framework for studying the mechanisms and regulation of P-body formation, maintenance, and disassembly, we compiled a list of P-body proteins found in various species and further grouped both reported and predicted human P-body proteins according to their functions. By analyzing protein–protein interactions of human P-body components, we found that many P-body proteins form complex interaction networks with each other and with other cellular proteins that are not recognized as P-body components. The observation suggests that these other cellular proteins may play important roles in regulating P-body dynamics and functions. We further used siRNA-mediated gene knockdown and immunofluorescence microscopy to demonstrate the validity of our in silico analyses. Our combined approach identifies new P-body components and suggests that protein ubiquitination and protein phosphorylation involving 14-3-3 proteins may play critical roles for post-translational modifications of P-body components in regulating P-body dynamics. Our analyses provide not only a global view of human P-body components and their physical interactions but also a wealth of hypotheses to help guide future research on the regulation and function of human P-bodies.

The 5؅33؅ degradation machinery localizes to cytoplasmic P bodies (PBs). We followed the dynamic properties of PBs in vivo and investigated the mechanism by which PBs scan the cytoplasm. Using proteins of the decapping machinery, we asked whether PBs actively scan the cytoplasm or whether a diffusion-based mechanism is sufficient. Live-cell imaging showed that PBs were anchored mainly to microtubules. Quantitative single-particle tracking demonstrated that most PBs exhibited spatially confined motion depen- dent on microtubule motion, whereas stationary PB pairs were identified at the centrosome. Some PBs translocated in long-range movements on microtubules. PB mobility was compared with mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, SMN bodies, and stress granules, and diffusion coefficients were calculated. Disruption of the microtubule network caused a significant reduction in PB mobility together with an induction of PB assembly. However, FRAP measurements showed that the dynamic flux of assembled PB components was not affected by such treatments.

  • Molecular Basis for the Distinct Cellular Functions of the Lsm1-7 and Lsm2-8 Complexes
    Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on October 3, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Molecular basis for the distinct cellular functions of the Lsm1-7 and Lsm2-8 complexes Eric J. Montemayor1,2, Johanna M. Virta1, Samuel M. Hayes1, Yuichiro Nomura1, David A. Brow2, Samuel E. Butcher1 1Department of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA. 2Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA. Correspondence should be addressed to E.J.M. ([email protected]) and S.E.B. ([email protected]). Abstract Eukaryotes possess eight highly conserved Lsm (like Sm) proteins that assemble into circular, heteroheptameric complexes, bind RNA, and direct a diverse range of biological processes. Among the many essential functions of Lsm proteins, the cytoplasmic Lsm1-7 complex initiates mRNA decay, while the nuclear Lsm2-8 complex acts as a chaperone for U6 spliceosomal RNA. It has been unclear how these complexes perform their distinct functions while differing by only one out of seven subunits. Here, we elucidate the molecular basis for Lsm-RNA recognition and present four high-resolution structures of Lsm complexes bound to RNAs. The structures of Lsm2-8 bound to RNA identify the unique 2′,3′ cyclic phosphate end of U6 as a prime determinant of specificity. In contrast, the Lsm1-7 complex strongly discriminates against cyclic phosphates and tightly binds to oligouridylate tracts with terminal purines. Lsm5 uniquely recognizes purine bases, explaining its divergent sequence relative to other Lsm subunits. Lsm1-7 loads onto RNA from the 3′ end and removal of the Lsm1 C-terminal region allows Lsm1-7 to scan along RNA, suggesting a gated mechanism for accessing internal binding sites.

Dcp2 is a dynamic 1234567890():,; enzyme that functions in concert with the essential activator Dcp1 and a diverse set of coactivators to selectively and efficiently decap target mRNAs in the cell. Here we present a 2.84 Å crystal structure of K. lactis Dcp1–Dcp2 in complex with coactivators Edc1 and Edc3, and with substrate analog bound to the Dcp2 active site. Our structure shows how Dcp2 recognizes cap substrate in the catalytically active conformation of the enzyme, and how coactivator Edc1 forms a three-way interface that bridges the domains of Dcp2 to consolidate the active conformation. Kinetic data reveal Dcp2 has selectivity for the first transcribed nucleotide during the catalytic step. The heterotetrameric Edc1–Dcp1–Dcp2–Edc3 structure shows how coactivators Edc1 and Edc3 can act simultaneously to activate decapping catalysis. 1 Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA. 2 Program in Chemistry and Chemical Biology, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA. 3 Division of Biophysics, Institute of Experimental Physics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, 02-089 Warsaw, Poland. 4 Centre of New Technologies, University of Warsaw, 02-097 Warsaw, Poland.
