Cex1p is a novel cytoplasmic component of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae nuclear tRNA export machinery
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yor112wp, which we named Cex1p, was identified using a yeast tRNA three-hybrid interaction approach and an in vivo nuclear tRNA export assay as a cytoplasmic component of the nuclear tRNA export machinery. Cex1p binds tRNA saturably, and associates with the nuclear pore complex by interacting directly with Nup116p. Cex1p co-purifies with the nuclear tRNA export receptors Los1p and Msn5p, the eukaryotic elongation factor eEF-1A, which delivers aminoacylated tRNAs to the ribosome, and the RanGTPase Gsp1p, but not with Cca1p, a tRNA maturation enzyme that facilitates translocation of non-aminoacylated tRNAs across the nuclear pore complex. Depletion of Cex1p and eEF-1A or Los1p significantly reduced the efficiency of nuclear tRNA export. Cex1p interacts with Los1p but not with eEF-1A in vitro. These findings suggest that Cex1p is a component of the nuclear aminoacylation-dependent tRNA export pathway in S. cerevisiae. They also suggest that Cex1p collects aminoacyl-tRNAs from the nuclear export receptors at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex, and transfers them to eEF-1A using a channelling mechanism. 相似文献

The biogenesis of mitochondria requires the integration of many proteins into the inner membrane from the matrix side. The inner membrane protein Oxa1 plays an important role in this process. We identified Mba1 as a second mitochondrial component that is required for efficient protein insertion. Like Oxa1, Mba1 specifically interacts both with mitochondrial translation products and with conservatively sorted, nuclear-encoded proteins during their integration into the inner membrane. Oxa1 and Mba1 overlap in function and substrate specificity, but both can act independently of each other. We conclude that Mba1 is part of the mitochondrial protein export machinery and represents the first component of a novel Oxa1-independent insertion pathway into the mitochondrial inner membrane. 相似文献

The balance between the fission and fusion mechanisms regulate the morphology of mitochondria. In this study we have identified a mammalian protein that we call hFis1, which is the orthologue of the yeast Fis1p known to participate in yeast mitochondrial division. hFis1, when overexpressed in various cell types, localized to the outer mitochondrial membrane and induced mitochondrial fission. This event was inhibited by a dominant negative mutant of Drp1 (Drp1(K38A)), a major component of the fission apparatus. Fragmentation of the mitochondrial network by hFis1 was followed by the release of cytochrome c and ultimately apoptosis. Bcl-xL was able to block cytochrome c release and apoptosis but failed to prevent mitochondrial fragmentation. Our studies show that hFis1 is part of the mammalian fission machinery and suggest that regulation of the fission processes might be involved in apoptotic mechanisms. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mdm38 and Ylh47 are homologues of human Letm1, a protein implicated in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. We analyzed the function of Mdm38 and Ylh47 in yeast mitochondria to gain insight into the role of Letm1. We find that mdm38Delta mitochondria have reduced amounts of certain mitochondrially encoded proteins and low levels of complex III and IV and accumulate unassembled Atp6 of complex V of the respiratory chain. Mdm38 is especially required for efficient transport of Atp6 and cytochrome b across the inner membrane, whereas Ylh47 plays a minor role in this process. Both Mdm38 and Ylh47 form stable complexes with mitochondrial ribosomes, similar to what has been reported for Oxa1, a central component of the mitochondrial export machinery. Our results indicate that Mdm38 functions as a component of an Oxa1-independent insertion machinery in the inner membrane and that Mdm38 plays a critical role in the biogenesis of the respiratory chain by coupling ribosome function to protein transport across the inner membrane. 相似文献

Sun protein (Sun1 and Sun2) cDNAs were previously cloned based on the homology of their C-terminal regions (SUN (Sad1 and UNC) domain) with the Caenorhabditis elegans protein UNC-84 whose mutation disrupts nuclear migration/positioning. In this study, we raised an anti-Sun2 serum and identified Sun2 in mammalian cells. In HeLa cells, Sun2 displays a nuclear rim-like pattern typical for a nuclear envelope protein. The Sun2 antibody signal co-localizes with nuclear pore and INM markers signals. The rim-like pattern was also observed with the recombinant full-length Sun2 protein fused to either EGFP or V5 epitopes. In addition, we found that a recombinant truncated form of Sun2, extending from amino acids 26 to 339, is sufficient to specify the nuclear envelope localization. Biochemical analyses show that Sun2 is an 85-kDa protein that is partially insoluble in detergent with high salt concentration and in chaotropic agents. Furthermore, Sun2 is enriched in purified HeLa cell nuclei. Electron microscopy analysis shows that Sun2 localizes in the nuclear envelope with a sub-population present in small clusters. Additionally, we show that the SUN domain of Sun2 is localized to the periplasmic space between the inner and the outer nuclear membranes. From our data, we conclude that Sun2 is a new mammalian inner nuclear membrane protein. Because the SUN domain is conserved from fission yeast to mammals, we suggest that Sun2 belongs to a new class of nuclear envelope proteins with potential relevance to nuclear membrane function in the context of the involvement of its components in an increasing spectrum of human diseases. 相似文献

A yeast tRNA three-hybrid interaction approach and an in vivo nuclear tRNA export assay based on amber suppression was used to identify proteins that participate in the nuclear tRNA export process in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One of the proteins identified by this strategy is Utp8p, an essential 80-kDa nucleolar protein that has been implicated in 18 S ribosomal RNA biogenesis. Our characterization indicated that the major function of Utp8p is in nuclear tRNA export. Like the S. cerevisiae Los1p and the mammalian exportin-t, which are proteins known to facilitate nuclear tRNA export, overexpression of Utp8p restored export of tRNAamTyr mutants defective in nuclear export. Furthermore, depletion of Utp8p blocked nuclear export of mature tRNAs derived from both intronless and intron-containing pre-tRNAs but did not affect tRNA and rRNA maturation, nuclear export of mRNA and ribosomes, or nuclear tRNA aminoacylation. Overexpression of Utp8p also alleviated nuclear retention of non-aminoacylated tRNATyr in a tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase mutant strain. Utp8p binds tRNA directly and saturably, indicating that it has a tRNA-binding site. Utp8p does not appear to function as a tRNA export receptor, because it does not shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Taken together, the results suggest that Utp8p is an essential intranuclear component of the nuclear tRNA export machinery, which may channel tRNA to the various tRNA export pathways operating in S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

Beta-catenin plays multiple roles in cell-cell adhesion and Wnt signal transduction. Through the Wnt signal, the cellular level of beta-catenin is constitutively regulated by the multicomponent destruction complex containing glycogen synthase kinase 3beta, axin, and adenomatous polyposis coli. Here, we present multiple lines of evidence to demonstrate that LZTS2 (lucine zipper tumor suppressor 2) interacts with beta-catenin, represses the transactivation of beta-catenin, and affects the subcellular localization of beta-catenin. The LZTS2 gene is located at 10q24.3, which is frequently lost in a variety of human tumors. A functional nuclear export signal (NES) was identified in the C terminus of the protein (amino acids 631 to 641). Appending this motif to green fluorescent protein (GFP) induced nuclear exclusion of the GFP fusion protein. However, introducing point mutations in either one or two leucine residues of this NES sequence abolished the nuclear exclusion of the LZTS2 protein. The nuclear export of LZTS2 can be blocked by leptomycin B (LMB), an inhibitor of the CRM1/exportin-alpha pathway. Intriguingly, beta-catenin colocalizes with LZTS2 in the cytoplasm of cells in the absence of LMB but in the nuclei of cells in the presence of LMB. Increasing the LZTS2 protein in cells reduces the level of nuclear beta-catenin in SW480 cells. Taken together, these data demonstrate that LZTS2 is a beta-catenin-interacting protein that can modulate beta-catenin signaling and localization. 相似文献

Nuclear export of messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) can be roughly classified into two forms: bulk and specific export, involving an nuclear RNA export factor 1 (NXF1)-dependent pathway and chromosome region maintenance 1 (CRM1)-dependent pathway, respectively. SUN proteins constitute the inner nuclear envelope component of the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex. Here, we show that mammalian cells require SUN1 for efficient nuclear mRNP export. The results indicate that both SUN1 and SUN2 interact with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) F/H and hnRNP K/J. SUN1 depletion inhibits the mRNP export, with accumulations of both hnRNPs and poly(A)+RNA in the nucleus. Leptomycin B treatment indicates that SUN1 functions in mammalian mRNA export involving the NXF1-dependent pathway. SUN1 mediates mRNA export through its association with mRNP complexes via a direct interaction with NXF1. Additionally, SUN1 associates with the NPC through a direct interaction with Nup153, a nuclear pore component involved in mRNA export. Taken together, our results reveal that the inner nuclear envelope protein SUN1 has additional functions aside from being a central component of the LINC complex and that it is an integral component of the mammalian mRNA export pathway suggesting a model whereby SUN1 recruits NXF1-containing mRNP onto the nuclear envelope and hands it over to Nup153. 相似文献

Crm1 is a member of the karyopherin family of nucleocytoplasmic transport receptors and mediates the export of proteins from the nucleus by forming a ternary complex with cargo and Ran:GTP. This complex translocates through the nuclear pores and dissociates in the cytosol. The yeast protein Yrb2p participates in this pathway and binds Crm1, but its mechanism of action has not been established. We show that the human orthologue of Yrb2p, Ran-binding protein 3 (RanBP3), acts as a cofactor for Crm1-mediated export in a permeabilized cell assay. RanBP3 binds directly to Crm1, and the complex possesses an enhanced affinity for both Ran:GTP and cargo. RanBP3 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm by a Crm1-dependent mechanism, and the Crm1--RanBP3-NES-Ran:GTP quarternary complex can associate with nucleoporins. We infer that this complex translocates through the nuclear pore to the cytoplasm where it is disassembled by RanBP1 and Ran GTPase--activating protein. 相似文献

Endosomes function as a hub for multiple protein-sorting events, including retrograde transport to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and recycling to the plasma membrane. These processes are mediated by tubular-vesicular carriers that bud from early endosomes and fuse with a corresponding acceptor compartment. Two tethering complexes named GARP (composed of ANG2, VPS52, VPS53, and VPS54 subunits) and EARP (composed of ANG2, VPS52, VPS53, and Syndetin subunits) were previously shown to participate in SNARE-dependent fusion of endosome-derived carriers with the TGN and recycling endosomes, respectively. Little is known, however, about other proteins that function with GARP and EARP in these processes. Here we identify a protein named TSSC1 as a specific interactor of both GARP and EARP and as a novel component of the endosomal retrieval machinery. TSSC1 is a predicted WD40/β-propeller protein that coisolates with both GARP and EARP in affinity purification, immunoprecipitation, and gel filtration analyses. Confocal fluorescence microscopy shows colocalization of TSSC1 with both GARP and EARP. Silencing of TSSC1 impairs transport of internalized Shiga toxin B subunit to the TGN, as well as recycling of internalized transferrin to the plasma membrane. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching shows that TSSC1 is required for efficient recruitment of GARP to the TGN. These studies thus demonstrate that TSSC1 plays a critical role in endosomal retrieval pathways as a regulator of both GARP and EARP function. 相似文献

Polyadenylation of mRNA precursors is a two-step reaction requiring multiple protein factors. Cleavage stimulation factor (CstF) is a heterotrimer necessary for the first step, endonucleolytic cleavage, and it plays an important role in determining the efficiency of polyadenylation. Although a considerable amount is known about the RNA binding properties of CstF, the protein-protein interactions required for its assembly and function are poorly understood. We therefore first identified regions of the CstF subunits, CstF-77, CstF-64, and CstF-50, required for interaction with each other. Unexpectedly, small regions of two of the subunits participate in multiple interactions. In CstF-77, a proline-rich domain is necessary not only for binding both other subunits but also for self-association, an interaction consistent with genetic studies in Drosophila. In CstF-64, a small region, highly conserved in metazoa, is responsible for interactions with two proteins, CstF-77 and symplekin, a nuclear protein of previously unknown function. Intriguingly, symplekin has significant similarity to a yeast protein, PTA1, that is a component of the yeast polyadenylation machinery. We show that multiple factors, including CstF, cleavage-polyadenylation specificity factor, and symplekin, can be isolated from cells as part of a large complex. These and other data suggest that symplekin may function in assembly of the polyadenylation machinery. 相似文献

Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) is a guanine-nucleotide binding protein, which transports aminoacylated tRNA to the ribosomal A site during protein synthesis. In a yeast two-hybrid screening of a human skeletal muscle cDNA library, a novel eEF1A binding protein, immunoglobulin-like and fibronectin type III domain containing 1 (IGFN1), was discovered, and its interaction with eEF1A was confirmed in vitro. IGFN1 is specifically expressed in skeletal muscle and presents immunoglobulin I and fibronectin III sets of domains characteristic of sarcomeric proteins. IGFN1 shows sequence and structural homology to myosin binding protein-C fast and slow-type skeletal muscle isoforms. IGFN1 is substantially upregulated during muscle denervation. We propose a model in which this increased expression of IGFN1 serves to down-regulate protein synthesis via interaction with eEF1A during denervation. 相似文献

CRM1 exports proteins that carry a short leucine-rich peptide signal, the nuclear export signal (NES), from the nucleus. Regular NESs must have low affinity for CRM1 to function optimally. We previously generated artificial NESs with higher affinities for CRM1, termed supraphysiological NESs. Here we identify a supraphysiological NES in an endogenous protein, the NS2 protein of parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVM). NS2 interacts with CRM1 without the requirement of RanGTP, whereas addition of RanGTP renders the complex highly stable. Mutation of a single hydrophobic residue that inactivates regular NESs lowers the affinity of the NS2 NES for CRM1 from supraphysiological to regular. Mutant MVM harboring this regular NES is compromised in viral nuclear export and productivity. In virus-infected mouse fibroblasts we observe colocalization of NS2, CRM1 and mature virions, which is dependent on the supraphysiological NS2 NES. We conclude that supraphysiological NESs exist in nature and that the supraphysiological NS2 NES has a critical role in active nuclear export of mature MVM particles before cell lysis. 相似文献

Rabbit antibodies have been raised against rat liver nuclear envelopes. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) demonstrated high titer antiserum specific for the nuclear envelope preparation. Immunocytochemical studies showed that the antiserum stained the nuclear envelopes, but not intra-nuclear components of HEp-2 (human malignant epithelial) cells. When electrophoretically separated peptides were tested by immunoblotting techniques, the rabbit antiserum specifically stained proteins with molecular masses of 26 and 28 kD. These peptides had similar mobilities to purified histone 1 (H1). Indeed purified calf thymus H1 recognized the antiserum. The antigens are not loosely bound to the nuclear envelope, as they could not be extracted with low salt. Therefore, we have established that the 26 and 28 kD nuclear envelope peptides are not contaminants of the nuclear envelope preparation and that they express determinants that are immunologically cross-reactive with purified H1, but not with intra-nuclear H1. 相似文献
