GABP complex regulates transcription of eIF6 (p27BBP), an essential trans-acting factor in ribosome biogenesis.

چکیده
Eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6, alias p27BBP) is required for the biogenesis of 60S ribosomal subunits. eIF6 expression levels are tightly regulated in vivo, where they correlate with cellular growth. We analyzed how transcriptional regulation of eIF6 is achieved. We show that the human eIF6 promoter contains consensus sites for the GABP (GA-binding protein) transcription factor complex. Functional analysis of GABP consensus sequences by point mutations, EMSA (electrophoretic mobility shift assay) and a dominant negative mutant indicates that GABP is essential for eIF6 promoter activity. These data strengthen the hypothesis that GABP is a global regulator of ribosome synthesis.

The β4 Integrin Interactor p27BBP/eIF6 Is an Essential Nuclear Matrix Protein Involved in 60S Ribosomal Subunit Assembly
p27(BBP/eIF6) is an evolutionarily conserved protein that was originally identified as p27(BBP), an interactor of the cytoplasmic domain of integrin beta4 and, independently, as the putative translation initiation factor eIF6. To establish the in vivo function of p27(BBP/eIF6), its topographical distribution was investigated in mammalian cells and the effects of disrupting the corresponding gen...

Eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis and translation are linked processes that limit the rate of cell growth. Although ribosome biogenesis and translation are mainly controlled by distinct factors, eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6) has been found to regulate both processes. eIF6 is a necessary protein with a unique anti-association activity, which prevents the interaction of 40S ribosomal subunit...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae TIF6 gene encoding translation initiation factor 6 is required for 60S ribosomal subunit biogenesis.
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (eIF6), a monomeric protein of about 26 kDa, can bind to the 60S ribosomal subunit and prevent its association with the 40S ribosomal subunit. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, eIF6 is encoded by a single-copy essential gene. To understand the function of eIF6 in yeast cells, we constructed a conditional mutant haploid yeast strain in which a functional but...

During the process of ribosomal assembly, the essential eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (eIF6) is known to act as a ribosomal anti-association factor. However, a molecular understanding of the anti-association activity of eIF6 is still missing. Here we present the cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of a complex of the large ribosomal subunit with eukaryotic eIF6 from Saccharomyc...

Ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotic organisms involves the coordinated assembly of 78 ribosomal proteins onto the four ribosomal RNAs, mediated by a host of trans-acting factors whose specific functions remain largely unknown. The essential GTPase Bms1, the putative endonuclease Rcl1 and the essential U3 small nucleolar RNA form a stable subcomplex thought to control an early step in the assembly...
