Introduction

Hrp1

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

Hrp1 is a polyadenylation factor found in Saccharomyces cervisiae (yeast) [1]. This protein recognizes and binds to an RNA sequence in the 3'UTR called the polyadenylation enhancement element (PEE) [1].

Structure

Hrp1 is a single strand RNA-binding protein composed of two RNP-type RNA-binding domains (RBDs) arranged in tandem with a typical ßαßßαß architecture [1]. The two RBDs have similar topolgies, both containing a central antiparallel four-stranded with two α-helices running across one face [1]. The two RBDs associate to form a deep and positively charged , which constitutes the binding site for the RNA molecule [1].

Hrp1-RNA Interactions

The interface between Hrp1 and its target RNA sequence is dominated by interactions between key aromatic residues and RNA bases [1]. Only six RNA bases, an repeat, act as the PEE and form specific contacts with Hrp1 [1]. Hydrophilic residues of Hrp1 provide base specificity through hydrogen bonding [1]. Most of the key residues that interact with the RNA can be found in the ß-sheet region of Hrp1; however, loops and the interdomain linker are also essential for Hrp1-RNA recognition [1]. Perhaps the most important Hrp1-RNA interaction is the (a conserved residue) [1]. In this case, Trp168 stacks on Ade4 and forms crucial base-specific hydrogen bonds [1]. It is also worth noting that a second Hrp1 residue is critical to holding Ade4 in place, , which interacts via hydrogen bond with the N1 of Ade4 [1]. A third contributor, , also stacks with Ura7 to aid in RNA recognition and binding [1].

RBD-RBD Interactions and the Linker Region

As mentioned above, Hrp1 is composed of two RBDs. The RBDs are connected by a linker region which also contains an crucial residue for RNA binding. Ile234 holds Ade6 stacked in place with Phe162 . Experimental evidence from the NMR data [1] suggests that the two RBDs act independently until binding the PEE. Binding the PEE causes the linker region to adopt a short helical structure to rigidly hold the . Aside from the linker helix, the only interaction between the RBDs is due to between Lys231 and Asp271.


Relevance

Relationships to other proteins

The RNP-type RBD is found in many proteins involved in post-transcriptional pre-mRNA processing (5' end capping, splicing, 3' end polyadenylation, and transport from the nucleus)[2].
