hnRNP F Complexes with Tristetraprolin and Stimulates ARE-mRNA Decay
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tristetraprolin (TTP) family of zinc-finger proteins, TTP, BRF1 and BRF2, regulate the stability of a subset of mRNAs containing 3'UTR AU-rich elements (AREs), including mRNAs coding for cytokines, transcription factors, and proto-oncogenes. To better understand the mechanism by which TTP-family proteins control mRNA stability in mammalian cells, we aimed to identify TTP- and BRF1-interacting proteins as potential TTP-family co-factors. This revealed hnRNP F as a prominent interactor of TTP and BRF1. While TTP, BRF1 and hnRNP F are all RNA binding proteins (RBPs), the interaction of hnRNP F with TTP and BRF1 is independent of RNA. Depletion of hnRNP F impairs the decay of a subset of TTP-substrate ARE-mRNAs by a mechanism independent of the extent of hnRNP F binding to the mRNA. Taken together, these findings implicate hnRNP F as a co-factor in a subset of TTP/BRF-mediated mRNA decay and highlight the importance of RBP cooperativity in mRNA regulation.

Interaction between the human nuclear cap-binding protein complex and hnRNP F.
hnRNP F was identified in a screen for proteins that interact with human CBP80 and CBP20, the components of the nuclear cap-binding complex (CBC). In vitro interaction studies showed that hnRNP F can bind to both CBP20 and CBP80 individually. hnRNP F and CBC bind independently to RNA, but hnRNP F binds preferentially to CBC-RNA complexes rather than to naked RNA. The hnRNP H protein, which is 7...
متن کاملPre-mRNA splicing imprints mRNA in the nucleus with a novel RNA-binding protein that persists in the cytoplasm.
We describe a novel RNA binding protein, Y14, a predominantly nuclear nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein. Interestingly, Y14 associates preferentially with mRNAs produced by splicing but not with pre-mRNAs, introns, or mRNAs produced from intronless cDNAs. Y14 associates with both nuclear mRNAs and newly exported cytoplasmic mRNAs. Splicing of a single intron is sufficient for Y14 association....
متن کاملThe hnRNP F protein: unique primary structure, nucleic acid-binding properties, and subcellular localization.
More than 20 different heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus of mammalian cells and these proteins appear to influence pre-mRNA processing and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport. The arrangement of hnRNP proteins on pre-mRNAs is likely to be unique for each RNA and may be determined by the different RNA-binding preferences of ...
متن کاملTransportin-mediated Nuclear Import of Heterogeneous Nuclear RNP Proteins
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A1 is an abundant nuclear protein that plays an important role in pre-mRNA processing and mRNA export from the nucleus. A1 shuttles rapidly between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, and a 38-amino acid domain, M9, serves as the bidirectional transport signal of A1. Recently, a 90-kD protein, transportin, was identified as the mediator of A1 nuclear i...
متن کاملMK2-induced tristetraprolin:14-3-3 complexes prevent stress granule association and ARE-mRNA decay.
Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic cytoplasmic foci at which stalled translation initiation complexes accumulate in cells subjected to environmental stress. SG-associated proteins such as TIA-1, TIAR and HuR bind to AU-rich element (ARE)-containing mRNAs and control their translation and stability. Here we show that tristetraprolin (TTP), an ARE-binding protein that destabilizes ARE-mRNAs, is re...
