Target Discrimination in Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Requires Upf1 ATPase Activity.

ABSTRACT: RNA quality-control pathways get rid of faulty RNAs and therefore must be able to discriminate these RNAs from those that are normal. Here we present evidence that the adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) cycle of the SF1 helicase Upf1 is required for mRNA discrimination during nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). Mutations affecting the Upf1 ATPase cycle disrupt the mRNA selectivity of Upf1, leading to indiscriminate accumulation of NMD complexes on both NMD target and non-target mRNAs. In addition, two modulators of NMD-translation and termination codon-proximal poly(A) binding protein-depend on the ATPase activity of Upf1 to limit Upf1-non-target association. Preferential ATPase-dependent dissociation of Upf1 from non-target mRNAs in vitro suggests that selective release of Upf1 contributes to the ATPase dependence of Upf1 target discrimination. Given the prevalence of helicases in RNA regulation, ATP hydrolysis may be a widely used activity in target RNA discrimination.

Upf1 ATPase-dependent mRNP disassembly is required for completion of nonsense- mediated mRNA decay.

Project description:Cellular mRNAs exist in messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) complexes, which undergo transitions during the lifetime of the mRNAs and direct posttranscriptional gene regulation. A final posttranscriptional step in gene expression is the turnover of the mRNP, which involves degradation of the mRNA and recycling of associated proteins. How tightly associated protein components are released from degrading mRNPs is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the ATPase activity of the RNA helicase Upf1 allows disassembly of mRNPs undergoing nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). In the absence of Upf1 ATPase activity, partially degraded NMD mRNA intermediates accumulate in complex with NMD factors and concentrate in processing bodies. Thus, disassembly and completion of turnover of mRNPs undergoing NMD requires ATP hydrolysis by Upf1. This uncovers a previously unappreciated and potentially regulated step in mRNA decay and raises the question of how other mRNA decay pathways release protein components of substrate mRNPs.

Hyperphosphorylation amplifies UPF1 activity to resolve stalls in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

Project description:Many gene expression factors contain repetitive phosphorylation sites for single kinases, but the functional significance is poorly understood. Here we present evidence for hyperphosphorylation as a mechanism allowing UPF1, the central factor in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), to increasingly attract downstream machinery with time of residence on target mRNAs. Indeed, slowing NMD by inhibiting late-acting factors triggers UPF1 hyperphosphorylation, which in turn enhances affinity for factors linking UPF1 to decay machinery. Mutational analyses reveal multiple phosphorylation sites contributing to different extents to UPF1 activity with no single site being essential. Moreover, the ability of UPF1 to undergo hyperphosphorylation becomes increasingly important for NMD when downstream factors are depleted. This hyperphosphorylation-dependent feedback mechanism may serve as a molecular clock ensuring timely degradation of target mRNAs while preventing degradation of non-targets, which, given the prevalence of repetitive phosphorylation among central gene regulatory factors, may represent an important general principle in gene expression.

UPF1 mutants with intact ATPase but deficient helicase activities promote efficient nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

Project description:The conserved RNA helicase UPF1 coordinates nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) by engaging with mRNAs, RNA decay machinery and the terminating ribosome. UPF1 ATPase activity is implicated in mRNA target discrimination and completion of decay, but the mechanisms through which UPF1 enzymatic activities such as helicase, translocase, RNP remodeling, and ATPase-stimulated dissociation influence NMD remain poorly defined. Using high-throughput biochemical assays to quantify UPF1 enzymatic activities, we show that UPF1 is only moderately processive (<200 nt) in physiological contexts and undergoes ATPase-stimulated dissociation from RNA. We combine an in silico screen with these assays to identify and characterize known and novel UPF1 mutants with altered helicase, ATPase, and RNA binding properties. We find that UPF1 mutants with substantially impaired processivity (E797R, G619K/A546H), faster (G619K) or slower (K547P, E797R, G619K/A546H) unwinding rates, and/or reduced mechanochemical coupling (i.e. the ability to harness ATP hydrolysis for work; K547P, R549S, G619K, G619K/A546H) can still support efficient NMD of well-characterized targets in human cells. These data are consistent with a central role for UPF1 ATPase activity in driving cycles of RNA binding and dissociation to ensure accurate NMD target selection.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor UPF1 promotes aggresome formation.

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) typifies an mRNA surveillance pathway. Because NMD necessitates a translation event to recognize a premature termination codon on mRNAs, truncated misfolded polypeptides (NMD-polypeptides) could potentially be generated from NMD substrates as byproducts. Here, we show that when the ubiquitin-proteasome system is overwhelmed, various misfolded polypeptides including NMD-polypeptides accumulate in the aggresome: a perinuclear nonmembranous compartment eventually cleared by autophagy. Hyperphosphorylation of the key NMD factor UPF1 is required for selective targeting of the misfolded polypeptide aggregates toward the aggresome via the CTIF-eEF1A1-DCTN1 complex: the aggresome-targeting cellular machinery. Visualization at a single-particle level reveals that UPF1 increases the frequency and fidelity of movement of CTIF aggregates toward the aggresome. Furthermore, the apoptosis induced by proteotoxic stresses is suppressed by UPF1 hyperphosphorylation. Altogether, our data provide evidence that UPF1 functions in the regulation of a protein surveillance as well as an mRNA quality control.
