Structure of the Rna15 RRM–RNA complex reveals the molecular basis of GU specificity in transcriptional 3′-end processing factors

چکیده
Rna15 is a core subunit of cleavage factor IA (CFIA), an essential transcriptional 3'-end processing factor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. CFIA is required for polyA site selection/cleavage targeting RNA sequences that surround polyadenylation sites in the 3'-UTR of RNA polymerase-II transcripts. RNA recognition by CFIA is mediated by an RNA recognition motif (RRM) contained in the Rna15 subunit of the complex. We show here that Rna15 has a strong and unexpected preference for GU containing RNAs and reveal the molecular basis for a base selectivity mechanism that accommodates G or U but discriminates against C and A bases. This mode of base selectivity is rather different to that observed in other RRM-RNA structures and is structurally conserved in CstF64, the mammalian counterpart of Rna15. Our observations provide evidence for a highly conserved mechanism of base recognition amongst the 3'-end processing complexes that interact with the U-rich or U/G-rich elements at 3'-end cleavage/polyadenylation sites.

Crystal structure of the Rna14-Rna15 complex.
A large protein machinery is required for 3'-end processing of mRNA precursors in eukaryotes. Cleavage factor IA (CF IA), a complex in the 3'-end processing machinery in yeast, contains four subunits, Rna14, Rna15, Clp1, and Pcf11. Rna14 has a HAT (half a TPR) domain at the N terminus and a region at the C terminus that mediates interactions with Rna15. Rna15 contains a RNA recognition module (...

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, four factors [cleavage factor I (CF I), CF II, polyadenylation factor I (PF I), and poly(A) polymerase (PAP)] are required for maturation of the 3' end of the mRNA. CF I and CF II are required for cleavage; a complex of PAP and PF I, which includes CF II subunits, participates in polyadenylation, along with CF I. These factors are directed to the appropriate site on...

The accuracy of the 3'-end processing by cleavage and polyadenylation is essential for mRNA biogenesis and transcription termination. In yeast, two poorly conserved neighboring elements upstream of cleavage sites are important for accuracy and efficiency of this process. These two RNA sequences are recognized by the RNA binding proteins Hrp1 and Rna15, but efficient processing in vivo requires ...

Introduction: Metastasis is one the most important causes of mortality in cancer patients. Recent studies have shown the metastatic potential of a specific group of microRNAs called metastamirs. miR-126 is shown to be correlated with the colorectal liver metastasis. Also, overexpression of miR-10b has been reported in metastatic breast cancer. Therefore, down regulation of these miRNAs at tra...
