The C-terminal region of hPrp8 interacts with the conserved GU dinucleotide at the 5' splice site.

ABSTRACT: A U5 snRNP protein, hPrp8, forms a UV-induced crosslink with the 5' splice site (5'SS) RNA within splicing complex B assembled in trans- as well as in cis-splicing reactions. Both yeast and human Prp8 interact with the 5'SS, branch site, polypyrimidine tract, and 3'SS during splicing. To begin to define functional domains in Prp8 we have mapped the site of the 5'SS crosslink within the hPrp8 protein. Immunoprecipitation analysis limited the site of crosslink to the C-terminal 5060-kDa segment of hPrp8. In addition, size comparison of the crosslink-containing peptides generated with different proteolytic reagents with the pattern of fragments predicted from the hPrp8 sequence allowed for mapping of the crosslink to a stretch of five amino acids in the C-terminal portion of hPrp8 (positions 1894-1898). The site of the 5'SS:hPrp8 crosslink falls within a segment spanning the previously defined polypyrimidine tract recognition domain in yPrp8, suggesting that an overlapping region of Prp8 may be involved both in the 5'SS and polypyrimidine tract recognition events. In the context of other known interactions of Prp8, these results suggest that this protein may participate in formation of the catalytic center of the spliceosome.

Project description:The PDE4A (type IV) cAMP-specific, rolipram-inhibited phosphodiesterase RPDE-6 (RNPDE4A5), when transiently expressed in COS7 cells, could be complexed with the v-Src-SH3 domain expressed as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein. RPDE-6 did not interact with GST itself. This complex was not disrupted by treatment with high NaCl concentration together with Triton X-100. Interaction was apparently determined by the N-terminal splice region of RPDE-6, as the PDE4A splice variant RPDE-39, which differs from RPDE-6 at the extreme N-terminus, failed to associate with v-Src-SH3; met26RD1 (where RD1 is rat 'dunc-like' PDE), which has the N-terminal splice region deleted, failed to associate with v-Src-SH3, and the association of RPDE-6 and v-Src-SH3 was blocked by a fusion protein formed from the N-terminal splice region. RDPE-6 showed binding to GST fusion proteins of both the intact Src kinase and an SH2-SH3 construct but did not bind to the Src-SH2 domain or to the adaptor protein Grb-2. RPDE-6 could be co-immunoprecipitated from cytosol extracts of transfected cells by using anti-Src antiserum. RPDE-6 exhibited selectivity in binding to the SH3 domains of c-Abl, Crk, Csk, Lck, Lyn, Fyn and v-Src, with binding to the SH3 regions of the Src-related tyrosyl kinases Lyn and Fyn being the most effective. The binding of RPDE-6 to the SH3 domains of Crk, Csk and Lck led to a marked reduction in PDE activity, but no change was apparent in complexes with other species. Endogenous RPDE-6 from brain, but not endogenous RPDE-39 from testis, bound to the Src-SH3 domain. We suggest that the PDE4A splice variant RPDE-6 has a propensity for interaction with selective SH3 domains, in particular those from Src and the Src-related tyrosyl kinases Lyn and Fyn. This interaction seems to be governed by alternative splicing of the PDE4A gene, because RPDE-39, a splice variant that lacks the proline-rich N-terminal splice region of RPDE-6, does not interact with these SH3 domains. It is proposed that the binding site on RPDE-6 for SH3 domains lies within the unique first 102 residues of its N-terminal splice domain, where two motifs representing Class I SH3 binding sites with selectivity for Src kinase SH3 domains can be identified and one motif for a putative Class II SH3 binding site.
