A novel RNA-binding mode of the YTH domain reveals the mechanism for recognition of determinant of selective removal by Mmi1
The YTH domain-containing protein Mmi1, together with other factors, constitutes the machinery used to selectively remove meiosis-specific mRNA during the vegetative growth of fission yeast. Mmi1 directs meiotic mRNAs to the nuclear exosome for degradation by recognizing their DSR (determinant of selective removal) motif. Here, we present the crystal structure of the Mmi1 YTH domain in the apo ...
متن کاملHexanucleotide motifs mediate recruitment of the RNA elimination machinery to silent meiotic genes
The selective elimination system blocks the accumulation of meiosis-specific mRNAs during the mitotic cell cycle in fission yeast. These mRNAs harbour a region, the determinant of selective removal (DSR), which is recognized by a YTH-family RNA-binding protein, Mmi1. Mmi1 directs target transcripts to destruction in association with nuclear exosomes. Hence, the interaction between DSR and Mmi1 ...
متن کاملExpression of a Chimeric Protein Containing the Catalytic Domain of Shiga-Like Toxin and Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli and Its Recognition by Reciprocal Antibodies
Fusion of two genes at DNA level produces a single protein, known as a chimeric protein. Immunotoxins are chimeric proteins composed of specific cell targeting and cell killing moieties. Bacterial or plant toxins are commonly used as the killing moieties of the chimeric immunotoxins. In this investigation, the catalytic domain of Shiga-like toxin (A1) was fused to human granulocyte macrophage ...
متن کاملStructural basis for selective binding of m6A RNA by the YTHDC1 YTH domain.
N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is the most abundant internal modification of nearly all eukaryotic mRNAs and has recently been reported to be recognized by the YTH domain family proteins. Here we present the crystal structures of the YTH domain of YTHDC1, a member of the YTH domain family, and its complex with an m(6)A-containing RNA. Our structural studies, together with transcriptome-wide ident...
متن کاملA novel factor Iss10 regulates Mmi1-mediated selective elimination of meiotic transcripts
A number of meiosis-specific transcripts are selectively eliminated during the mitotic cell cycle in fission yeast. Mmi1, an RNA-binding protein, plays a crucial role in this selective elimination. Mmi1 recognizes a specific region, namely, the determinant of selective removal (DSR) on meiotic transcripts and induces nuclear exosome-mediated elimination. During meiosis, Mmi1 is sequestered by a...
