Crystal structure of the NTF2L domain of human G3BP1 in complex with the USP10 derived peptide
Structural highlights
FunctionG3BP1_HUMAN May be a regulated effector of stress granule assembly. Phosphorylation-dependent sequence-specific endoribonuclease in vitro. Cleaves exclusively between cytosine and adenine and cleaves MYC mRNA preferentially at the 3'-UTR. ATP- and magnesium-dependent helicase. Unwinds preferentially partial DNA and RNA duplexes having a 17 bp annealed portion and either a hanging 3' tail or hanging tails at both 5'- and 3'-ends. Unwinds DNA/DNA, RNA/DNA, and RNA/RNA substrates with comparable efficiency. Acts unidirectionally by moving in the 5' to 3' direction along the bound single-stranded DNA.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedStress granules (SGs) are cytoplasmic biomolecular condensates containing proteins and RNAs in response to stress. Ras-GTPase-activating protein binding protein 1 (G3BP1) is a core SG protein. Caprin-1 and ubiquitin specific peptidase 10 (USP10) interact with G3BP1, facilitating and suppressing SG formation, respectively. The crystal structures of the nuclear transport factor 2-like (NTF2L) domain of G3BP1 in complex with the G3BP1-interacting motif (GIM) of Caprin-1 and USP10 show that both GIMs bind to the same hydrophobic pocket of G3BP1. Moreover, both GIMs suppressed the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of G3BP1, suggesting that Caprin-1 likely facilitates SG formation via other mechanisms. Thus, we dissected various domains of Caprin-1 and investigated their role in LLPS in vitro and SG formation in cells. The C-terminal domain of Caprin-1 underwent spontaneous LLPS, whereas the N-terminal domain and GIM of Caprin-1 suppressed LLPS of G3BP1. The opposing effect of the N- and C-terminal domains of Caprin-1 on SG formation were demonstrated in cells with or without the endogenous Caprin-1. We propose that the N- and C-terminal domains of Caprin-1 regulate SG formation in a "yin and yang" fashion, mediating the dynamic and reversible assembly of SGs.
