The Functional Relationship Between the Nonsense-Mediated MRNA Decay Pathway and the Prematurely Terminating Ribosome
Author: Lucas D. Serdar

ISBN:
Category : Gene expression
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
The fidelity of gene expression depends on quality control pathways that act to detect and resolve errors in the transmission of genetic information. Premature termination of translation at nonsense codons within mRNA open reading frames leads to the production of C-terminally truncated polypeptides with potentially deleterious functions in the cell. The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway is a conserved quality control pathway in eukaryotes that limits accumulation of these aberrant protein products by recognizing the nonsense-containing mRNA and targeting it to accelerated degradation. Recognition and rapid destabilization of NMD substrates requires a conserved machinery consisting of the proteins UPF1, UPF2, and UPF3. Recent transcriptome-wide studies have shown that the RNA helicase UPF1 associates with both nonsense-containing and normal mRNAs, suggesting that the mechanistic distinction between normal and aberrant mRNAs occurs after UPF1 associates with the transcript. To investigate the requirements for NMD at steps downstream of UPF1 association with mRNA, we applied tethered function analysis in yeast cells and found that destabilization of mRNAs by tethered UPF1 requires ATP hydrolysis by UPF1, and is enhanced by premature termination. Surprisingly, the activity of tethered UPF1 was robust upon inhibition of translation, and in cells lacking UPF2 and UPF3. Next, we provide evidence that ATP hydrolysis by UPF1 is required for efficient translation termination and ribosome release at a premature termination codon. Ribosome stalling at or near premature termination codons in UPF1 ATPase mutants impedes the progress of the exonuclease XRN1, leading to the accumulation of 3’ RNA decay fragments. We show also that the ability of UPF1 to impinge upon premature termination requires NMD co-factors UPF2 and UPF3. Unexpectedly, ribosome stalling in cells expressing ATPase-deficient UPF1 occurs at a position downstream of the premature stop codon. The position of stalling is dependent on the mRNA sequence downstream of the stop codon, and transit of ribosomes to these positions did not require ongoing polypeptide synthesis. Our results reveal that ATP hydrolysis by UPF1 modulates a functional interaction between the NMD machinery and terminating ribosomes necessary for targeting substrates to accelerated degradation.

RNA Turnover in Eukaryotes: Analysis of Specialized and Quality Control RNA Decay Pathways
Author: Lynne E. Maquat
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 9780123745842
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Specific complexes of protein and RNA carry out many essential biological functions, including RNA processing, RNA turnover, and RNA folding, as well as the translation of genetic information from mRNA into protein sequences. Messenger RNA (mRNA) decay is now emerging as an important control point and a major contributor to gene expression. Continuing identification of the protein factors and cofactors and mRNA instability elements responsible for mRNA decay allow researchers to build a comprehensive picture of the highly orchestrated processes involved in mRNA decay and its regulation. * Covers the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) or mRNA surveillance pathway * Expert researchers introduce the most advanced technologies and techniques * Offers step-by-step lab instructions, including necessary equipment and reagents
