Function
[DYL1_YEAST] Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein complex that are thought to be involved in linking dynein to cargos and to adapter proteins that regulate dynein function. Cytoplasmic dynein 1 acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. May play a role in changing or maintaining the spatial distribution of cytoskeletal structures (By similarity). [NU159_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. Active directional transport is assured by both, a Phe-Gly (FG) repeat affinity gradient for these transport factors across the NPC and a transport cofactor concentration gradient across the nuclear envelope (GSP1 and GSP2 GTPases associated predominantly with GTP in the nucleus, with GDP in the cytoplasm). NUP159 plays an important role in several nuclear export pathways including poly(A)+ RNA, pre-ribosome, and protein export.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The Nuclear Pore Complex gates nucleocytoplasmic transport through a massive, eight-fold symmetric channel capped by a nucleoplasmic basket and structurally unique, cytoplasmic fibrils whose tentacles bind and regulate asymmetric traffic. The conserved Nup82 complex, composed of Nsp1, Nup82 and Nup159, forms the unique cytoplasmic fibrils that regulate mRNA nuclear export. While the nuclear pore complex plays a fundamental, conserved role in nuclear trafficking, structural information about the cytoplasmic fibrils is limited. Here, we investigate the structural and biochemical interactions between S. cerevisiae Nup159 and the nucleoporin: Dyn2. We find that Dyn2 is predominantly a homodimer and binds arrayed sites on Nup159, promoting Nup159's parallel homodimerization. We present the first structure of Dyn2, determined at 1.85 A resolution, complexed with a Nup159 target peptide. Dyn2 resembles homologous metazoan dynein light chains, forming homodimeric composite substrate binding sites that engage two independent 10 residue target motifs, imparting a beta-strand structure to each peptide via anti-parallel extension of Dyn2's core beta-sandwich. Dyn2 recognizes a highly conserved QT motif, while allowing sequence plasticity in the peptide's flanking residues. Isothermal titration calorimetric analysis of Dyn2's comparative binding to two Nup159 target sites shows similar affinities (18 and 13 muM), but divergent thermal binding modes. Dyn2 homodimers are arrayed in the crystal lattice, likely mimicking Dyn2's arrayed architecture on Nup159's multivalent binding sites. Crystallographic inter-dimer interactions potentially reflect a cooperative basis for Dyn2-Nup159 complex formation. Our data highlights the determinants that mediate oligomerization of the Nup82 complex and promote a directed, elongated cytoplasmic fibril architecture.
