Crystal structure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gle1 CTD-Nup42 GBM complex
Structural highlights
FunctionGLE1_YEAST Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC components, collectively referred to as nucleoporins (NUPs), can play the role of both NPC structural components and of docking or interaction partners for transiently associated nuclear transport factors. It is specifically involved in a terminal step of poly(A)+ mRNA transport through the NPC probably by binding the ATP-dependent RNA helicase DBP5 and GFD1 at the cytoplasmic side of the NPC. These interactions are thought to be important for the dissociation of transport proteins such as the heterogeneous nuclear ribonuleoprotein (hnRNP) NAB2 from exported mRNA.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe nuclear pore complex (NPC) controls the passage of macromolecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm, but how the NPC directly participates in macromolecular transport remains poorly understood. In the final step of mRNA export, the DEAD-box helicase DDX19 is activated by the nucleoporins Gle1, Nup214, and Nup42 to remove Nxf1*Nxt1 from mRNAs. Here, we report crystal structures of Gle1*Nup42 from three organisms that reveal an evolutionarily conserved binding mode. Biochemical reconstitution of the DDX19 ATPase cycle establishes that human DDX19 activation does not require IP6, unlike its fungal homologs, and that Gle1 stability affects DDX19 activation. Mutations linked to motor neuron diseases cause decreased Gle1 thermostability, implicating nucleoporin misfolding as a disease determinant. Crystal structures of human Gle1*Nup42*DDX19 reveal the structural rearrangements in DDX19 from an auto-inhibited to an RNA-binding competent state. Together, our results provide the foundation for further mechanistic analyses of mRNA export in humans.
