The yeast EDC1 mRNA undergoes deadenylation-independent decapping stimulated by Not2p, Not4p, and Not5p.

ABSTRACT: A major mechanism of eukaryotic mRNA degradation initiates with deadenylation followed by decapping and 5' to 3' degradation. We demonstrate that the yeast EDC1 mRNA, which encodes a protein that enhances decapping, has unique properties and is both protected from deadenylation and undergoes deadenylation-independent decapping. The 3' UTR of the EDC1 mRNA is sufficient for both protection from deadenylation and deadenylation-independent decapping and an extended poly(U) tract within the 3' UTR is required. These observations highlight the diverse forms of decapping regulation and identify a feedback loop that can compensate for decreases in activity of the decapping enzyme. Surprisingly, the decapping of the EDC1 mRNA is slowed by the loss of Not2p, Not4p, and Not5p, which interact with the Ccr4p/Pop2p deadenylase complex. This indicates that the Not proteins can affect decapping, which suggests a possible link between the mRNA deadenylation and decapping machinery.

RNA degradation triggered by decapping is largely independent of initial deadenylation

Project description:RNA stability, important for eukaryotic gene expression, is thought to depend on deadenylation rates, with shortened poly(A) tails triggering decapping and 5' to 3' degradation. In contrast to this view, recent large-scale studies indicate that the most unstable mRNAs have, on average, long poly(A) tails. To clarify the role of deadenylation in mRNA decay, we first modelled mRNA poly(A) tail kinetics and mRNA stability in yeast. Independent of deadenylation rates, differences in mRNA decapping rates alone were sufficient to explain current large-scale results. To test the hypothesis that deadenylation and decapping are uncoupled, we used rapid depletion of decapping and deadenylation enzymes and measured changes in mRNA levels, poly(A) length and stability, both transcriptome-wide and with individual reporters. These experiments revealed that perturbations in poly(A) tail length did not correlate with variations in mRNA stability. Thus, while deadenylation may be critical for specific regulatory mechanisms, our results suggest that for most yeast mRNAs, it is not critical for mRNA decapping and degradation.

Human Pat1b connects deadenylation with mRNA decapping and controls the assembly of processing bodies.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, degradation of many mRNAs is initiated by removal of the poly(A) tail followed by decapping and 5'-3' exonucleolytic decay. Although the order of these events is well established, we are still lacking a mechanistic understanding of how deadenylation and decapping are linked. In this report we identify human Pat1b as a protein that is tightly associated with the Ccr4-Caf1-Not deadenylation complex as well as with the Dcp1-Dcp2 decapping complex. In addition, the RNA helicase Rck and Lsm1 proteins interact with human Pat1b. These interactions are mediated via at least three independent domains within Pat1b, suggesting that Pat1b serves as a scaffold protein. By tethering Pat1b to a reporter mRNA, we further provide evidence that Pat1b is also functionally linked to both deadenylation and decapping. Finally, we report that Pat1b strongly induces the formation of processing (P) bodies, cytoplasmic foci that contain most enzymes of the RNA decay machinery. An amino-terminal region within Pat1b serves as an aggregation-prone domain that nucleates P bodies, whereas an acidic domain controls the size of P bodies. Taken together, these findings provide evidence that human Pat1b is a central component of the RNA decay machinery by physically connecting deadenylation with decapping.

Membrane-association of mRNA decapping factors is independent of stress in budding yeast.

Project description:Recent evidence has suggested that the degradation of mRNA occurs on translating ribosomes or alternatively within RNA granules called P bodies, which are aggregates whose core constituents are mRNA decay proteins and RNA. In this study, we examined the mRNA decapping proteins, Dcp1, Dcp2, and Dhh1, using subcellular fractionation. We found that decapping factors co-sediment in the polysome fraction of a sucrose gradient and do not alter their behaviour with stress, inhibition of translation or inhibition of the P body formation. Importantly, their localisation to the polysome fraction is independent of the RNA, suggesting that these factors may be constitutively localised to the polysome. Conversely, polysomal and post-polysomal sedimentation of the decapping proteins was abolished with the addition of a detergent, which shifts the factors to the non-translating RNP fraction and is consistent with membrane association. Using a membrane flotation assay, we observed the mRNA decapping factors in the lower density fractions at the buoyant density of membrane-associated proteins. These observations provide further evidence that mRNA decapping factors interact with subcellular membranes, and we suggest a model in which the mRNA decapping factors interact with membranes to facilitate regulation of mRNA degradation.

Deadenylation-independent stage-specific mRNA degradation in Leishmania.

Project description:The life cycle of Leishmania alternates between developmental forms residing within the insect vector (e.g. promastigotes) and the mammalian host (amastigotes). In Leishmania nearly all control of gene expression is post-transcriptional and involves sequences in the 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of mRNAs. Very little is known as to how these cis-elements regulate RNA turnover and translation rates in trypanosomatids and nothing is known about mRNA degradation mechanisms in Leishmania in particular. Here, we use the amastin mRNA-an amastigote-specific transcript-as a model and show that a approximately 100 nt U-rich element (URE) within its 3'UTR significantly accounts for developmental regulation. RNase-H-RNA blot analysis revealed that a major part of the rapid promastigote-specific degradation of the amastin mRNA is not initiated by deadenylation. This is in contrast to the amastin mRNA in amastigotes and to reporter RNAs lacking the URE, which, in common with most eukaryotic mRNAs studied to-date, are deadenylated before being degraded. Moreover, our analysis did not reveal a role for decapping in the stage-specific degradation of the amastin mRNA. Overall, these results suggest that degradation of the amastin mRNA of Leishmania is likely to be bi-phasic, the first phase being stage-specific and dependent on an unusual URE-mediated pathway of mRNA degradation.

The yeast POP2 gene encodes a nuclease involved in mRNA deadenylation.

Project description:The major mRNA degradation pathway involves deadenylation of the target molecule followed by decapping and, finally, 5'-->3' exonuclease digestion of the mRNA body. While yeast factors involved in the decapping and exonuclease degradation steps have been identified, the nature of the factor(s) involved in the deadenylation step remained elusive. Database searches for yeast proteins related to the mammalian deadenylase PARN identified the Pop2 protein (Pop2p) as a potential deadenylase. While Pop2p was previously identified as a factor affecting transcription, we identified a non-canonical RNase D sequence signature in its sequence. Analysis of the fate of a reporter mRNA in a pop2 mutant demonstrates that Pop2p is required for efficient mRNA degradation in vivo. Characterisation of mRNA degradation intermediates accumulating in this mutant supports the involvement of Pop2p in mRNA deadenylation in vivo. Similar phenotypes are observed in yeast strains lacking the Ccr4 protein, which is known to be associated with Pop2p. A recombinant Pop2p fragment encompassing the putative catalytic domain degrades poly(A) in vitro demonstrating that Pop2p is a nuclease. We also demonstrate that poly(A) is a better competitor than poly(G) or poly(C) of the Pop2p nuclease activity. Altogether, our study indicates that Pop2p is a nuclease subunit of the yeast deadenylase and suggests that Pop2p homologues in other species may have similar functions.

Host deadenylation-dependent mRNA decapping factors are required for a key step in brome mosaic virus RNA replication.

Project description:The genomes of positive-strand RNA [+RNA] viruses perform two mutually exclusive functions: they act as mRNAs for the translation of viral proteins and as templates for viral replication. A universal key step in the replication of +RNA viruses is the coordinated transition of the RNA genome from the cellular translation machinery to the viral replication complex. While host factors are involved in this step, their nature is largely unknown. By using the ability of the higher eukaryotic +RNA virus brome mosaic virus (BMV) to replicate in yeast, we previously showed that the host Lsm1p protein is required for efficient recruitment of BMV RNA from translation to replication. Here we show that in addition to Lsm1p, all tested components of the Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p/Dhh1p decapping activator complex, which functions in deadenylation-dependent decapping of cellular mRNAs, are required for BMV RNA recruitment for RNA replication. In contrast, other proteins of the decapping machinery, such as Edc1p and Edc2p from the deadenylation-dependent decapping pathway and Upf1p, Upf2p, and Upf3p from the deadenylation-independent decapping pathway, had no significant effects. The dependence of BMV RNA recruitment on the Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p/Dhh1p complex was linked exclusively to the 3' noncoding region of the BMV RNA. Collectively, our results suggest that the Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p/Dhh1p complex that transfers cellular mRNAs from translation to degradation might act as a key regulator in the switch from BMV RNA translation to replication.

MicroRNAs direct rapid deadenylation of mRNA.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ubiquitous regulators of eukaryotic gene expression. In addition to repressing translation, miRNAs can down-regulate the concentration of mRNAs that contain elements to which they are imperfectly complementary. Using miR-125b and let-7 as representative miRNAs, we show that in mammalian cells this reduction in message abundance is a consequence of accelerated deadenylation, which leads to rapid mRNA decay. The ability of miRNAs to expedite poly(A) removal does not result from decreased translation; nor does translational repression by miRNAs require a poly(A) tail, a 3' histone stem-loop being an effective substitute. These findings suggest that miRNAs use two distinct posttranscriptional mechanisms to down-regulate gene expression.

Modeling of mRNA deadenylation rates reveal a complex relationship between mRNA deadenylation and decay

Project description:Complete cytoplasmic polyadenosine tail (polyA-tail) deadenylation is thought to be essential for initiating mRNA decapping and subsequent degradation. To investigate this prevalent model, we conducted direct RNA sequencing of S. cerevisiae mRNAs derived from chase experiments under steady-state and stress condition. Subsequently, we developed a numerical model based on a modified gamma distribution function, which estimated the transcriptomic deadenylation rate at 10 A/min. A simplified independent method, based on the delineation of quantile polyA-tail values, showed a correlation between the decay and deadenylation rates of individual mRNAs, which appeared consistent within functional transcript groups and associated with codon optimality. Notably, these rates varied during the stress response. Detailed analysis of ribosomal protein-coding mRNAs (RPG mRNAs), constituting 40 % of the transcriptome, singled out this transcript group. While deadenylation and decay of RPG mRNAs accelerated under heat stress, their degradation could proceed even when deadenylation was blocked, depending entirely on ongoing nuclear export. Our findings support the general primary function of deadenylation in dictating the onset of decapping, while also demonstrating complex relations between these processes.

Control of mRNA decapping by autoinhibition.

Project description:5' mediated cytoplasmic RNA decay is a conserved cellular process in eukaryotes. While the functions of the structured core domains in this pathway are well-studied, the role of abundant intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) is lacking. Here we reconstitute the Dcp1:Dcp2 complex containing a portion of the disordered C-terminus and show its activity is autoinhibited by linear interaction motifs. Enhancers of decapping (Edc) 1 and 3 cooperate to activate decapping by different mechanisms: Edc3 alleviates autoinhibition by binding IDRs and destabilizing an inactive form of the enzyme, whereas Edc1 stabilizes the transition state for catalysis. Both activators are required to fully stimulate an autoinhibited Dcp1:Dcp2 as Edc1 alone cannot overcome the decrease in activity attributed to the C-terminal extension. Our data provide a mechanistic framework for combinatorial control of decapping by protein cofactors, a principle that is likely conserved in multiple 5' mRNA decay pathways.

Molecular Insights into mRNA Polyadenylation and Deadenylation.

Project description:Poly(A) tails are present on almost all eukaryotic mRNAs, and play critical roles in mRNA stability, nuclear export, and translation efficiency. The biosynthesis and shortening of a poly(A) tail are regulated by large multiprotein complexes. However, the molecular mechanisms of these protein machineries still remain unclear. Recent studies regarding the structural and biochemical characteristics of those protein complexes have shed light on the potential mechanisms of polyadenylation and deadenylation. This review summarizes the recent structural studies on pre-mRNA 3'-end processing complexes that initiate the polyadenylation and discusses the similarities and differences between yeast and human machineries. Specifically, we highlight recent biochemical efforts in the reconstitution of the active human canonical pre-mRNA 3'-end processing systems, as well as the roles of RBBP6/Mpe1 in activating the entire machinery. We also describe how poly(A) tails are removed by the PAN2-PAN3 and CCR4-NOT deadenylation complexes and discuss the emerging role of the cytoplasmic poly(A)-binding protein (PABPC) in promoting deadenylation. Together, these recent discoveries show that the dynamic features of these machineries play important roles in regulating polyadenylation and deadenylation.
