Structural highlights
Function[CLP1_YEAST] Component of the cleavage factor IA (CFIA) complex, which is involved in the endonucleolytic cleavage during polyadenylation-dependent pre-mRNA 3'-end formation and cooperates with the cleavage factor NAB4/CFIB and the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) complex.[1] [PCF11_YEAST] Component of the cleavage factor IA (CFIA) complex, which is involved in the endonucleolytic cleavage during polyadenylation-dependent pre-mRNA 3'-end formation and cooperates with cleavage factor NAB4/CFIB and the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) complex. Independently involved in RNA polymerase II transcript termination. Binds RNA. Seems to bridge RNA polymerase II and the native transcript and may be involved in dismantling the RNA polymerase II elongation complex.[2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedRNA-specific polynucleotide kinases of the Clp1 subfamily are key components of various RNA maturation pathways. However, the structural basis explaining their substrate specificity and the enzymatic mechanism is elusive. Here, we report crystal structures of Clp1 from Caenorhabditis elegans (ceClp1) in a number of nucleotide- and RNA-bound states along the reaction pathway. The combined structural and biochemical analysis of ceClp1 elucidates the RNA specificity and lets us derive a general model for enzyme catalysis of RNA-specific polynucleotide kinases. We identified an RNA binding motif referred to as "clasp" as well as a conformational switch that involves the essential Walker A lysine (Lys127) and regulates the enzymatic activity of ceClp1. Structural comparison with other P loop proteins, such as kinases, adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases), and guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases), suggests that the observed conformational switch of the Walker A lysine is a broadly relevant mechanistic feature.
