Function

SMG1_HUMAN Serine/threonine protein kinase involved in both mRNA surveillance and genotoxic stress response pathways. Recognizes the substrate consensus sequence [ST]-Q. Plays a central role in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons by phosphorylating UPF1/RENT1. Recruited by release factors to stalled ribosomes together with SMG8 and SMG9 (forming the SMG1C protein kinase complex), and UPF1 to form the transient SURF (SMG1-UPF1-eRF1-eRF3) complex. In EJC-dependent NMD, the SURF complex associates with the exon junction complex (EJC) through UPF2 and allows the formation of an UPF1-UPF2-UPF3 surveillance complex which is believed to activate NMD. Also acts as a genotoxic stress-activated protein kinase that displays some functional overlap with ATM. Can phosphorylate p53/TP53 and is required for optimal p53/TP53 activation after cellular exposure to genotoxic stress. Its depletion leads to spontaneous DNA damage and increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation (IR). May activate PRKCI but not PRKCZ.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

We report the 3.45-A resolution cryo-EM structure of human SMG1-SMG8-SMG9, a phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI(3)K)-related protein kinase (PIKK) complex central to messenger RNA surveillance. Structural and MS analyses reveal the presence of inositol hexaphosphate (InsP6) in the SMG1 kinase. We show that the InsP6-binding site is conserved in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and potentially other PIKK members, and that it is required for optimal in vitro phosphorylation of both SMG1 and mTOR substrates.
