The bacterial Lsm protein, host factor I (Hfq), is an RNA chaperone involved in many types of RNA transactions such as replication and stability, control of small RNA activity and polyadenylation. In this latter case, Hfq stimulates poly(A) synthesis and binds poly(A) tails that it protects from exonucleolytic degradation. We show here, that there is a correlation between Hfq binding to the 3' end of an RNA molecule and its ability to stimulate RNA elongation catalyzed by poly(A)polymerase I. In contrast, formation of the Hfq-RNA complex inhibits elongation of the RNA by polynucleotide phosphorylase. We demonstrate also that Hfq binding is not affected by the phosphorylation status of the RNA molecule and occurs equally well at terminal or internal stretches of poly(A). 相似文献

The Hfq protein, which shares sequence and structural homology with the Sm and Lsm proteins, binds to various RNAs, primarily recognizing AU-rich single-stranded regions. In this paper, we study the ability of the Escherichia coli Hfq protein to bind to a polyadenylated fragment of rpsO mRNA. Hfq exhibits a high specificity for a 100-nucleotide RNA harboring 18 3′-terminal A-residues. Structural analysis of the adenylated RNA–Hfq complex and gel shift assays revealed the presence of two Hfq binding sites. Hfq binds primarily to the poly(A) tail, and to a lesser extent a U-rich sequence in a single-stranded region located between two hairpin structures. The oligo(A) tail and the interhelical region are sensitive to 3′–5′ exoribonucleases and RNase E hydrolysis, respectively, in vivo. In vitro assays demonstrate that Hfq protects poly(A) tails from exonucleolytic degradation by both PNPase and RNase II. In addition, RNase E processing, which occurred close to the U-rich sequence, is impaired by the presence of Hfq. These data suggest that Hfq modulates the sensitivity of RNA to ribonucleases in the cell. 相似文献

Background
The bacterial Sm-like protein Hfq is known as an important regulator involved in many reactions of RNA metabolism. A prominent function of Hfq is the stimulation of RNA polyadenylation catalyzed by E. coli poly(A) polymerase I (PAP). As a member of the nucleotidyltransferase superfamily, this enzyme shares a high sequence similarity with an other representative of this family, the tRNA nucleotidyltransferase that synthesizes the 3'-terminal sequence C-C-A to all tRNAs (CCA-adding enzyme). Therefore, it was assumed that Hfq might not only influence the poly(A) polymerase in its specific activity, but also other, similar enzymes like the CCA-adding enzyme. 相似文献18.
