The human cap-binding complex is functionally connected to the nuclear RNA exosome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Nuclear processing and quality control of eukaryotic RNA is mediated by the multi-subunit RNA exosome, which utilizes accessory factors to regulate its enzymatic activity. However, the mechanism of exosome recruitment to its ribonucleoprotein (RNP) targets remains poorly understood. Here we disclose a physical link between the human nuclear RNA exosome and the cap-binding complex (CBC). The CBC associates with the ARS2 protein to form CBC-ARS2 (CBCA), and then further connects together with the uncharacterized ZC3H18/NHN1 protein to the nuclear exosome targeting (NEXT) complex, forming CBC-NEXT (CBCN). RNA immunoprecipitation analysis using CBCN factors as baits as well as the combinatorial depletion of CBCN and exosome components underscore the functional relevance of CBC-exosome bridging at the level of target RNA. Specifically, CBCA suppresses read-through transcription of several RNA families by promoting their transcriptional termination. We suggest that the RNP 5’cap links transcription termination to exosomal RNA degradation via CBCN.
