PAP-1 has been identified by us as a Pim-1-binding protein and has recently been implicated as the defective gene in RP9, one type of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). We have then shown that PAP-1 plays a role in pre-mRNA splicing. Because four causative genes for adRP, including PAP-1, Prp31, Prp8, and Prp3, encode proteins that function as splicing factors or splicing-modulating factors, we investigated the interaction of PAP-1 with Prp3p and Prp31p in this study. The results showed that PAP-1 interacted with Prp3p but not Prp31p in human cells and yeast, and that the basic region of PAP-1 and the C-terminal region of Prp3p, regions beside spots found in adRP mutations, were needed for binding. Furthermore, both Prp3p and a part of PAP-1 were found to be components of the U4/U6.U5-tri-snRNP complex, one form of the spliceosome, in Ba/F3 and K562 cells by analysis of sucrose density gradients, suggesting that PAP-1 is weakly associated with the spliceosome. These results also suggest that splicing factors implicated in adRP contribute alone or mutually to proper splicing in the retina and that loss of their functions leads to onset of adRP. 相似文献

Protooncogene, pim-1, has been reported to be a predisposition for lymphomagenesis along with myc, and its protein product, Pim-1, has been shown to be a serine/threonine protein kinase, whose activity is involved in proliferation and differentiation of blood cells. The signal transduction pathways neither to nor from Pim-1, however, have been clarified. We have cloned a cDNA encoding a novel Pim-1 binding protein, PAP-1, comprising 213 amino acids with a basic amino-acid cluster near the C-terminus. PAP-1 was colocalized with Pim-1 in human HeLa cell nuclei. The in vitro binding assays using GST fusion proteins of the wild-type and various deletion mutants revealed that the whole molecule of Pim-1 is required for the binding activity to PAP-1 and that Pim-1 binds to the region from amino-acid numbers 1-147 of PAP-1, or to two segments in the region. The association of PAP-1 with Pim-1 was also shown in vivo in transfected cells. Furthermore, PAP-1 was phosphorylated in vitro by Pim-1, but not a kinase-negative Pim-1 mutant. The two serine residues of PAP-1 at amino acids 204 and 206 near the C-terminus were phosphorylated by Pim-1. PAP-1 is thus thought to be a target protein for Pim-1 kinase. 相似文献

We have identified a novel nucleolar protein, PAP-1-associated protein-1 (PAPA-1), after screening the interacting proteins with Pim-1-associated protein-1 (PAP-1), a protein that is a phosphorylation target of Pim-1 kinase. PAPA-1 comprises 345 amino acids with a basic amino-acid cluster. PAPA-1 was found to be localized in the nucleolus in transfected HeLa cells, and the lysine/histidine cluster was essential for nucleolar localization of PAPA-1. PAPA-1 protein and mRNA expression decreased upon serum restimulation of starvation-synchronized cells, which displayed maximum level of PAPA-1 expression at G0 and early G1 phase of the cell cycle. Ectopic expression of PAPA-1 induced growth suppression of cells, and the effect was dependent on its nucleolar localization in established HeLa cell lines that inducibly express PAPA-1 or its deletion mutant under the control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter. Furthermore, when PAPA-1-inducible HeLa cells were synchronized by thymidine, colcemid or mimosine, and then PAPA-1 was expressed, the proportion of cells at the G1 phase was obviously increased. These results suggest that PAPA-1 induces growth and cell cycle arrests at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. 相似文献

We report mutations in a gene (PRPF31) homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae pre-mRNA splicing gene PRP31 in families with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa linked to chromosome 19q13.4 (RP11; MIM 600138). A positional cloning approach supported by bioinformatics identified PRPF31 comprising 14 exons and encoding a protein of 499 amino acids. The level of sequence identity to the yeast PRP31 gene indicates that PRPF31 is also likely to be involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Mutations that include missense substitutions, deletions, and insertions have been identified in four RP11-linked families and three sporadic RP cases. The identification of mutations in a pre-mRNA splicing gene implicates defects in the splicing process as a novel mechanism of photoreceptor degeneration. 相似文献

The SNRNP200 gene encodes hBrr2, a helicase essential for pre-mRNA splicing. Six mutations in SNRNP200 have recently been discovered to be associated with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). In this work, we analyzed a Chinese family with adRP and identified a novel missense mutation in SNRNP200. To identify the genetic defect in this family, exome of the proband was captured and sequencing analysis was performed to exclude known genetic defects and find possible pathogenic mutations. Subsequently, candidate mutations were validated in affected family members using Sanger sequencing. A novel missense mutation, c.2653C>G transition (p.Q885E), in exon 20 of SNRNP200 was identified. The mutation co-segregated with the disease phenotype over four generations and was absent in 100 normal unaffected individuals. This mutation occurs at highly conserved position in hBrr2 and is predicted to have a functional impact, suggesting that hBrr2-dependent small nuclear riboproteins (snRNPs) unwinding and spliceosome activation is important in the pathogenesis of some variants of RP. 相似文献

In pre-mRNA splicing, a conserved AG/G at the 3'-splice site is recognized by U2AF(35). A disease-causing mutation abrogating the G nucleotide at the first position of an exon (E(+1)) causes exon skipping in GH1, FECH and EYA1, but not in LPL or HEXA. Knockdown of U2AF(35) enhanced exon skipping in GH1 and FECH. RNA-EMSA revealed that wild-type FECH requires U2AF(35) but wild-type LPL does not. A series of artificial mutations in the polypyrimidine tracts of GH1, FECH, EYA1, LPL and HEXA disclosed that a stretch of at least 10-15 pyrimidines is required to ensure normal splicing in the presence of a mutation at E(+1). Analysis of nine other disease-causing mutations at E(+1) detected five splicing mutations. Our studies suggest that a mutation at the AG-dependent 3'-splice site that requires U2AF(35) for spliceosome assembly causes exon skipping, whereas one at the AG-independent 3'-splice site that does not require U2AF(35) gives rise to normal splicing. The AG-dependence of the 3'-splice site that we analyzed in disease-causing mutations at E(+1) potentially helps identify yet unrecognized splicing mutations at E(+1). 相似文献

CDC5 proteins are components of the pre-mRNA splicing complex and essential for cell cycle progression in yeast, plants and mammals. Human CDC5 is phosphorylated in a mitogen-dependent manner, and its association with the spliceosome is ATP-dependent. Examination of the amino acid sequence suggests that CDC5L may be phosphorylated at up to 28 potential consensus recognition sequences for known kinases, however, the identity of actual phosphorylation sites, their role in regulating CDC5L activity, and the kinases responsible for their phosphorylation have not previously been determined. Using two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping and nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry, we now show that CDC5L is phosphorylated on at least nine sites in vivo. We demonstrate that while CDC5L is capable of forming homodimers in vitro and in vivo, neither homodimerization nor nuclear localization is dependent on phosphorylation at these sites. Using an in vitro splicing assay, we show that phosphorylation of CDC5L at threonines 411 and 438 within recognition sequences for CDKs are required for CDC5L-mediated pre-mRNA splicing. We also demonstrate that a specific inhibitor of CDK2, CVT-313, inhibits CDC5L phosphorylation in both in vitro kinase assays and in vivo radiolabeling experiments in cycling cells. These studies represent the first demonstration of a regulatory role for phosphorylation of CDC5L, and suggest that targeting these sites or the implicated kinases may provide novel strategies for treating disorders of unguarded cellular proliferation, such as cancer. 相似文献

Retinitis pigmentosa is a leading cause of blindness and a progressive retinal disorder, affecting millions of people worldwide. This disease is characterized by photoreceptor degeneration, eventually leading to complete blindness. Autosomal dominant (adRP) has been associated with mutations in at least four ubiquitously expressed genes encoding pre-mRNA splicing factors—Prp3, Prp8, Prp31 and PAP1. Biological function of adRP-associated splicing factor genes and molecular mechanisms by which mutations in these genes cause cell-type specific photoreceptor degeneration in humans remain to be elucidated. To investigate the in vivo function of these adRP-associated splicing factor genes, we examined Drosophila in which expression of fly Prp31 homolog was down-regulated. Sequence analyses show that CG6876 is the likely candidate of Drosophila melanogaster Prp31 homolog (DmPrp31). Predicted peptide sequence for CG6876 shows 57% similarity to the Homo sapiens Prp31 protein (HsPrp31). Reduction of the endogenous Prp31 by RNAi-mediated knockdown specifically in the eye leads to reduction of eye size or complete absence of eyes with remarkable features of photoreceptor degeneration and recapitulates the bimodal expressivity of human Prp31 mutations in adRP patients. Such transgenic DmPrp31RNAi flies provide a useful tool for identifying genetic modifiers or interacting genes for Prp31. Expression of the human Prp31 in these animals leads to a partial rescue of the eye phenotype. Our results indicate that the Drosophila CG6876 is the fly ortholog of mammalian Prp31 gene. 相似文献

The SRPK family of kinases is specific for RS domain-containing splicing factors and known to play a critical role in protein-protein interaction and intracellular distribution of their substrates in both yeast and mammalian cells. However, the function of these kinases in pre-mRNA splicing remains unclear. Here we report that SKY1, a SRPK family member in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, genetically interacts with PRP8 and PRP17/SLU4, both of which are involved in splice site selection during pre-mRNA splicing. Prp8 is essential for splicing and is known to interact with both 5' and 3' splice sites in the spliceosomal catalytic center, whereas Prp17/Slu4 is nonessential and is required only for efficient recognition of the 3' splice site. Interestingly, deletion of SKY1 was synthetically lethal with all prp17 mutants tested, but only with specific prp8 alleles in a domain implicated in governing fidelity of 3'AG recognition. Indeed, deletion of SKY1 specifically suppressed 3'AG mutations in ACT1-CUP1 splicing reporters. These results suggest for the first time that 3' AG recognition may be subject to phosphorylation regulation by Sky1p during pre-mRNA splicing. 相似文献

PRP6 and PRP9 are two yeast genes involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Incubation at 37 degrees C of strains that carry temperature-sensitive mutations at these loci inhibits splicing, and in vivo experiments suggested that they might be involved in commitment complex formation (P. Legrain and M. Rosbash, Cell 57:573-583, 1989). To examine the specific role that the PRP6 and PRP9 products may play in splicing or pre-mRNA transport to the cytoplasm, we have characterized in vitro splicing and spliceosome assembly in extracts derived from prp6 and prp9 mutant strains. We have also characterized RNAs that are specifically immunoprecipitated with the PRP6 and PRP9 proteins. Both approaches indicate that PRP6 encodes a U4/U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) protein and that the PRP9 protein is required for a stable U2 snRNP-substrate interaction. The results are discussed with reference to the previously observed in vivo phenotypes of these mutants. 相似文献

The proto-oncogene Pim-1 encodes a serine-threonine kinase which is a downstream effector of cytokine signaling and can enhance cell cycle progression by altering the activity of several cell cycle regulators among them the G1 specific inhibitor p21(Waf), the phosphatase Cdc25A and the kinase C-TAK1. Here, we demonstrate by using biochemical assays that Pim-1 can interact with the phosphatase Cdc25C and is able to directly phosphorylate the N-terminal region of the protein. Cdc25C is functionally related to Cdc25A but acts specifically at the G2/M cell cycle transition point and can be inactivated by C-TAK1-mediated phosphorylation. Immuno-fluorescence experiments showed that Pim-1 and Cdc25C co-localize in the cytoplasm of both epithelial and myeloid cells. We find that phosphorylation by Pim-1 enhances the phosphatase activity of Cdc25C and in transfected cells that are arrested in G2/M by bleomycin, Pim-1 can enhance progression into G1. Therefore, we propose that Pim-1 activates Cdc25C by a direct phosphorylation and can thereby assume the function of a positive cell cycle regulator at the G2/M transition. 相似文献

A six-generation Chinese family with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) was identified and characterized. Genome-wide linkage analysis linked the family to markers D19S601 to D19S605, which span the PRPF31 gene on chromosome 19q13.33-13.43 (RP11) (LOD = 5.03). Direct DNA sequence analysis identified a novel splicing mutation (IVS1+1G>T) in affected family members and carriers, but not in unaffected family members and 200 normal controls. The splicing mutation occurs at the splicing donor of intron 1. Real time PCR with lymphoblastoid RNA samples from family members showed that in comparison to normal family members, the splicing mutation reduced the expression level of the PRPF31 mRNA by 57% in symptomatic patients and by 28% in clinically asymptomatic carriers. Our studies identify a novel splicing mutation in PRPF31 associated with adRP and suggest that the penetrance of RP11 mutations may be correlated with the expression level of the PRPF31 mRNA. 相似文献

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a debilitating disease of the retina affecting ∼1.5 million people worldwide. RP shows remarkable heterogeneity both clinically and genetically, with more than 40 genetic loci implicated, 12 of which account for the autosomal dominant form (adRP) of inheritance. We have recently identified a French Canadian family that presents with early onset adRP. After exclusion of all known loci for adRP, a genome-wide search established firm linkage with a marker from the short arm of chromosome 9 (LOD score of 6.3 at recombination fraction θ=0). The linked region is flanked by markers D9S285 and D9S1874, corresponding to a genetic distance of 31 cM, in the region 9p22-p13. 相似文献
