Decapping and decay of messenger RNA occur in cytoplasmic processing bodies.
A major pathway of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) turnover begins with deadenylation, followed by decapping and 5' to 3' exonucleolytic decay. We provide evidence that mRNA decapping and 5' to 3' degradation occur in discrete cytoplasmic foci in yeast, which we call processing bodies (P bodies). First, proteins that activate or catalyze decapping are concentrated in P bodies. Second, inhibitin...
متن کاملRNA decapping inside and outside of processing bodies.
Decapping is a central step in eukaryotic mRNA turnover. Recent studies have identified several factors involved in catalysis and regulation of decapping. These include the following: an mRNA decapping complex containing the proteins Dcp1 and Dcp2; a nucleolar decapping enzyme, X29, involved in the degradation of U8 snoRNA and perhaps of other capped nuclear RNAs; and a decapping 'scavenger' en...
متن کاملThe messenger RNA decapping and recapping pathway in Trypanosoma.
The 5' terminus of trypanosome mRNA is protected by a hypermethylated cap 4 derived from spliced leader (SL) RNA. Trypanosoma brucei nuclear capping enzyme with cap guanylyltransferase and methyltransferase activities (TbCgm1) modifies the 5'-diphosphate RNA (ppRNA) end to generate an m7G SL RNA cap. Here we show that T. brucei cytoplasmic capping enzyme (TbCe1) is a bifunctional 5'-RNA kinase ...
متن کاملMessenger RNA in HeLa cells: kinetics of formation and decay.
The polyadenylic acid-containing messenger RNA fraction of HeLa cells was measured by its affinity for oligodeoxythymidylate cellulose. Both the kinetics of initial labeling and the decay after a brief pulse of incorporation were examined. The kinetics of decay are complex, but can be approximated by assuming two populations ; a short-lived species with a half-life of seven hours and a longlive...
متن کاملPoliovirus-mediated disruption of cytoplasmic processing bodies.
Metazoan cells form cytoplasmic mRNA granules such as stress granules (SG) and processing bodies (P bodies) that are proposed to be sites of aggregated, translationally silenced mRNAs and mRNA degradation. Poliovirus (PV) is a plus-strand RNA virus containing a genome that is a functional mRNA; thus, we investigated if PV antagonizes the processes that lead to formation of these structures. We ...
