Function

[MCE_VACCW] Displays methyltransferase, positive regulation of the poly(A) polymerase and transcription elongation activities. Involved in the modification of both mRNA ends and in intermediate and late gene positive transcription elongation. At the mRNAs 5' end, methylates the ribose 2' OH group of the first transcribed nucleotide, thereby producing a 2'-O-methylpurine cap. At the 3' end, functions as a processivity factor which stimulates the activity of the viral poly(A) polymerase VP55 that creates mRNA's poly(A) tail. In the presence of VP39, VP55 does not dissociate from the RNA allowing tail elongation to around 250 adenylates.^[1] ^[2] ^[3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The N7-methylguanine portion of the mRNA cap structure interacts with cap-binding proteins via an unusual double-stacking arrangement in which the positively charged cap is sandwiched between two parallel-oriented aromatic protein side chains. Three-dimensional costructures of cap with two mRNA cap-binding proteins, namely, translational initiation factor eIF4E and VP39 (the vaccinia virus-encoded mRNA cap-specific 2'-O-methyltransferase), have heretofore been reported. Despite striking similarities between the two proteins in the double stack with the cap, the stack differs most notably in the species of stacked side chain donated by the protein. Whereas eIF4E employs two tryptophans, VP39 uses a tyrosine and a phenylalanine. Here, we have generated tryptophan substitutions in VP39. Tryptophan substitution was shown, crystallographically, not to disrupt the maintenance of a bona fide parallel stack. However, the single-tryptophan and double-tryptophan substitutions were associated with increased affinity for cap nucleoside by factors of 10 and 50, respectively. VP39 interacted more strongly with a true substrate (containing portions of RNA downstream of the cap in addition to the cap itself) than with isolated cap nucleoside, by several orders of magnitude. VP39 mutants with tryptophan substitution at position 180 exhibited apparent defects in substrate catalytic rate during the first turnover cycle, indicating the possibility of an exquisite sensitivity of the catalytic center to subtle changes in substrate position brought about by alterations in the cap-binding slot. The X-ray structure of VP39 with a genuine nucleobase analogue of N7-methylguanosine, namely, N7,9-dimethylguanine, indicated that the N7-methylguanosine rotational orientation within the stack is a property of the cap nucleobase itself.
