The spen family protein FPA controls alternative cleavage and polyadenylation of RNA.
The spen family protein FPA is required for flowering time control and has been implicated in RNA silencing. The mechanism by which FPA carries out these functions is unknown. We report the identification of an activity for FPA in controlling mRNA 3' end formation. We show that FPA functions redundantly with FCA, another RNA binding protein that controls flowering and RNA silencing, to control ...
متن کاملThe RNA-binding protein FPA regulates flg22-triggered defense responses and transcription factor activity by alternative polyadenylation
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play an important role in plant host-microbe interactions. In this study, we show that the plant RBP known as FPA, which regulates 3'-end mRNA polyadenylation, negatively regulates basal resistance to bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae in Arabidopsis. A custom microarray analysis reveals that flg22, a peptide derived from bacterial flagellins, induces expression...
متن کاملTranscriptional activity regulates alternative cleavage and polyadenylation
Genes containing multiple pre-mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation sites, or polyA sites, express mRNA isoforms with variable 3' untranslated regions (UTRs). By systematic analysis of human and mouse transcriptomes, we found that short 3'UTR isoforms are relatively more abundant when genes are highly expressed whereas long 3'UTR isoforms are relatively more abundant when genes are lowly expressed....
متن کاملAlternative polyadenylation and RNA-binding proteins.
Our understanding of the extent of microRNA-based gene regulation has expanded in an impressive pace over the past decade. Now, we are beginning to better appreciate the role of 3'-UTR (untranslated region) cis-elements which harbor not only microRNA but also RNA-binding protein (RBP) binding sites that have significant effect on the stability and translational rate of mRNAs. To add further com...
متن کاملThe Poly(A)-Binding Protein Nuclear 1 Suppresses Alternative Cleavage and Polyadenylation Sites
Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as an important layer of gene regulation. Factors controlling APA are largely unknown. We developed a reporter-based RNAi screen for APA and identified PABPN1 as a regulator of this process. Genome-wide analysis of APA in human cells showed that loss of PABPN1 resulted in extensive 3' untranslated region shortening. Messenger RNA transc...
