36 RNA DECAY PART II - SPECIFIC PATHWAYS

37 RNA SURVEILLANCE = RNA QUALITY CONTROL MECHANISMS NMD- (nonsense mediated decay) - degradation of mrnas with premature stop codons (PTC) NSD- (non-stop decay) - degradation of mrnas with no stop codons NO-GO decay- degradation of mrnas stalled in translation elongation AMD - ARE mediated decay- rapid degradation of mrnas with specific instability elements (e.g. AU-rich) NRD- Non-functional rrna decay nuclear RNA degradation (mrna, pre-mrna, rrna, trna, ncrnas) - degradation of RNA species that were not properly processed i.e. spliced, end-matured, modified or of unstable species (CUTs)

38 THE IMPORTANCE OF RNA QUALITY CONTROL these mechanisms control the synthesis, integrity and lifespan of all cellular RNA molecules to assure optimal functioning of the cell deficient QC and mutations in QC components lead to severe defects and diseases - several genetic disorders (30%!- e.g. β-thalasemia, ostegenesis imperfecta, Marfan syndrome, Stickler s syndrome, neurologic syndromes) result from inefficient NMD and other QC mechanisms due to frameshift mutations and premature translation termination - mutations in RNA enzymes (exosome, decapping, deadenylases) confer autoimmune diseases in humans and developmental defects in plants, worms and flies

39 NMD - degradation of mrnas containing premature STOP codons (PTC) - prevents expression of truncated, possibly harmful, proteins - 33% of yeast intron-containing mrnas undergo NMD - 30% of alternatively spliced human mrnas generate NMD substrates 40S Pab1 Translation termination problem: - premature termination or - ribosome stalling on PTC mrna degradation Amrani et al. Nat.Rev.Cel.Biol., 2006

40 NMD FACTORS Stalder and Muhlemann, TiCB, 2008 Llorka. Cur. Op. Chem. Biol SMG7 Behm-Ansmant et al., FEBS Lett, 2007

41 metazoan EXON JUNCTION COMPLEX (EJC) core eif-4aiii - DEAD box RNA helicase MLN51 - stimulates eif-4aiii Magoh/Y14 - heterodimer binds to eif-4aiii Associated factors UAP56, SRm160, Acinus, SAP18, Pinin, RNPS1 - splicing REF, TAP, p15 - export Upf2, Upf3 - NMD EJC contains proteins linked to different functions

42 MECHANISM OF NMD 1. Recognition of premature stop codon during translation EJC PTC splicing-related mechanism - EJC deposited as a mark of splicing - Upf3 is bound to mrna via EJC - mrna is exported and Upf2 joins Upf3 translation termination and unified 3 UTR mechanism: ribosome not interacting with 3 UTR factors is arrested on the PTC 2. Assembly of the active NMD complex and repression of translation active NMD complex Upf1-3 + SMG proteins EJC downstream of PTC is not removed by the advancing ribosome SURF complex, Upf1.SMG1 and erf1-2, is recruited by the stalled ribosome Upf1 is phosphorylated by SMG1 erf1-erf2 are released mrna is directed for degradation Singh and Lykke-Andersen, TiBS 2003; Isken and Maquat, Gene Dev. 2007

51 STAUFEN-mediated DECAY (SMD) Isken and Maquat, Nat Rev Genet 2008 STAU1, a dsrna binding protein, recruits UPF1 to target mrna 3'UTRs to elicit SMD in a translation-dependent fashion. SMD targets contain a STAU1 binding site (SBS) within their 3' UTR. They include newly synthesized CBC-bound mrnas and steady-state eif4e-bound mrnas. Some mrnas are targeted to SMD by lncrnas (Alu elements) which form SBS with SMD substrates. Gong and Maquat, Nature 2011
