Recognition of eIF4G by Rotavirus NSP3 reveals a basis for mRNA circularization
Structural highlights
FunctionNSP3_ROTS1 Involved in the shutoff of host protein synthesis. It is unclear whether it is required for the translation of viral mRNAs as well. Functions similarly to, and competes with the cellular poly(A)-binding protein PABPC1. Binds the conserved sequence 'GACC' at the 3' end of viral mRNAs and allows circularization of viral mRNAs in translation. Interacts with ZC3H7B/RoXaN and with the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4G, using the same region employed by PABP-C1. NSP3 thus displaces PABPC1 from eIF4G, inhibiting the translation of cellular poly(A) mRNAs. Also responsible for the nuclear relocalization of PABPC1 upon rotavirus infection (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMedRotaviruses, segmented double-stranded RNA viruses, co-opt the eukaryotic translation machinery with the aid of nonstructural protein 3 (NSP3), a rotaviral functional homolog of the cellular poly(A) binding protein (PABP). NSP3 binds to viral mRNA 3' consensus sequences and circularizes mRNA via interactions with eIF4G. Here, we present the X-ray structure of the C-terminal domain of NSP3 (NSP3-C) recognizing a fragment of eIF4GI. Homodimerization of NSP3-C yields a symmetric, elongated, largely alpha-helical structure with two hydrophobic eIF4G binding pockets at the dimer interface. Site-directed mutagenesis and isothermal titration calorimetry documented that NSP3 and PABP use analogous eIF4G recognition strategies, despite marked differences in tertiary structure.
