PAP-gamma associates with PAXT nuclear exosome to control the abundance of PROMPT ncRNAs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Pervasive transcription of the human genome generates an abundance of RNAs that must be processed and degraded. The nuclear RNA exosome is the main RNA degradation machinery in the nucleus. However, nuclear exosome must be recruited to its substrates by targeting complexes, such as NEXT or PAXT. By proteomic analysis, we have identified additional subunits of PAXT, including many orthologs of MTREC found in S. pombe. In particular, we show that polyA polymerase gamma was associated with PAXT. Genome-wide mapping of the binding sites of ZFC3H1, RBM26 and PAPgamma, showed that PAXT is recruited to the TSS of hundreds of genes. Loss of ZFC3H1 abolished recruitment of PAXT subunits including PAPgamma to TSSs and concomitantly increased the abundance of PROMPTs at the same sites. Moreover, PAPgamma polyadenylated PROMPTs and modulated their stability. Our results thus provide key insights into the direct targeting and degradation of PROMPT ncRNAs by PAXT, at their genomic sites and depending on polyadenylation of RNAs.
