Cap Binding Complex
Overview
The 7-methyl guanosine cap structure of RNA is essential for key aspects, of RNA processing, including pre-mRNA splicing, 3' end formation, U snRNA, transport, nonsense-mediated decay and translation. Two cap-binding, proteins mediate these effects: cytosolic eIF-4E and nuclear cap-binding, protein complex (CBC). The latter consists of a CBP20 subunit, which binds, the cap, and a CBP80 subunit, which ensures high-affinity cap binding., Here we report the 2.1 A resolution structure of human CBC with the cap, analog m7GpppG, as well as the structure of unliganded CBC. Comparisons, between these structures indicate that the cap induces substantial, conformational changes within the N-terminal loop of CBP20, enabling Tyr, 20 to join Tyr 43 in pi-pi stacking interactions with the methylated, guanosine base. CBP80 stabilizes the movement of the N-terminal loop of, CBP20 and locks the CBC into a high affinity cap-binding state. The, structure for the CBC bound to m7GpppG highlights interesting similarities, and differences between CBC and eIF-4E, and provides insights into the, regulatory mechanisms used by growth factors and other extracellular, stimuli to influence the cap-binding state of the CBC.
