Structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae TREX-2 complex
Structural highlights
Function[SAC3_YEAST] Component of the SAC3-THP1 complex, which functions in transcription-coupled mRNA export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. SAC3-THP1 functions in docking export-competent ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) to the nuclear entrance of the nuclear pore complex (nuclear basket), by association with components of the nuclear mRNA export machinery (MEX67-MTR2 and SUB2) in the nucleoplasm and the nucleoporin NUP1 at the nuclear basket.[1] [2] [SEM1_YEAST] Versatile protein that might stabilize multiple protein complexes involved in diverse pathways. Subunit of the 26S proteasome which plays a role in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. Associates also with the TREX-2 complex that is required for transcription-coupled mRNA export, and the COP9 signalosome, which is involved in deneddylation.[3] [4] [THP1_YEAST] Component of the SAC3-THP1 complex, which functions in transcription-coupled mRNA export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. SAC3-THP1 functions in docking export-competent ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) to the nuclear entrance of the nuclear pore complex (nuclear basket), by association with components of the nuclear mRNA export machinery (MEX67-MTR2 and SUB2) in the nucleoplasm and the nucleoporin NUP1 at the nuclear basket. THP1 binds to RNA in vitro.[5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedTranscription-export complex 2 (TREX-2 complex) facilitates the localization of actively transcribing genes to the nuclear periphery and also functions to contribute to the generation of export-competent mRNPs through interactions with the general mRNA nuclear export factor Mex67:Mtr2. The TREX-2 complex is based on a Sac3 scaffold to which Thp1, Sem1, Cdc31, and Sus1 bind. TREX-2 can be subdivided into two modules: one, in which Thp1 and Sem1 bind to the Sac3M region (residues approximately 100-551), and the other in which Cdc31 and two Sus1 chains bind to the Sac3CID region (residues approximately 710-805). Complementary structural analyses using X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae TREX-2 complex, expressed using Baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells, have indicated that the TPR-like repeats of the Sac3M region extend considerably further towards the N-terminus than previously thought, and also indicate that this region and Sac3CID:Sus1:Cdc31 region of the S. cerevisiae complex are structurally independent. Although the density visible accounted for only approximately 100kDa, a 5.3A resolution cryo-EM reconstruction was obtained of the M-region of TREX-2 that showed an additional three putative alpha-helices extending towards the Sac3 N-terminus and these helices were also seen in a 4.9A resolution structure obtained by X-ray crystallography. SUMMARY STATEMENT: We describe the expression, purification and structural characterization of the S. cerevisiae TREX-2 complex and demonstrate that the Sac3 TPR-like repeats are more extensive than previously thought and that the M- and CID-regions do not appear to have a defined spatial orientation. The Sac3 TPR-like region in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae TREX-2 complex is more extensive but independent of the CID region.,Aibara S, Bai XC, Stewart M J Struct Biol. 2016 Jul 12. pii: S1047-8477(16)30148-4. doi:, 10.1016/j.jsb.2016.07.007.
