X-RAY STRUCTURE OF THE RNA-BINDING PROTEIN SHE2p
Overview
Selective transport of mRNAs in ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNP) ensures, asymmetric distribution of information within and among eukaryotic cells., Actin-dependent transport of ASH1 mRNA in yeast represents one of the, best-characterized examples of mRNP translocation. Formation of the ASH1, mRNP requires recognition of zip code elements by the RNA binding protein, She2p. We determined the X-ray structure of She2p at 1.95 A resolution., She2p is a member of a previously unknown class of nucleic acid binding, proteins, composed of a single globular domain with a five alpha helix, bundle that forms a symmetric homodimer. After demonstrating potent, dimer-dependent RNA binding in vitro, we mapped the RNA binding surface of, She2p to a basic helical hairpin in vitro and in vivo and present a, mechanism for mRNA-dependent initiation of ASH1 mRNP complex assembly.
