Structural highlights
Function[NCBP1_HUMAN] Component of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which binds cotranscriptionally to the 5'-cap of pre-mRNAs and is involved in various processes such as pre-mRNA splicing, translation regulation, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) by microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNA export. The CBC complex is involved in mRNA export from the nucleus via its interaction with ALYREF/THOC4/ALY, leading to the recruitment of the mRNA export machinery to the 5'-end of mRNA and to mRNA export in a 5' to 3' direction through the nuclear pore. The CBC complex is also involved in mediating U snRNA and intronless mRNAs export from the nucleus. The CBC complex is essential for a pioneer round of mRNA translation, before steady state translation when the CBC complex is replaced by cytoplasmic cap-binding protein eIF4E. The pioneer round of mRNA translation mediated by the CBC complex plays a central role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), NMD only taking place in mRNAs bound to the CBC complex, but not on eIF4E-bound mRNAs. The CBC complex enhances NMD in mRNAs containing at least one exon-junction complex (EJC) via its interaction with UPF1, promoting the interaction between UPF1 and UPF2. The CBC complex is also involved in 'failsafe' NMD, which is independent of the EJC complex, while it does not participate in Staufen-mediated mRNA decay (SMD). During cell proliferation, the CBC complex is also involved in microRNAs (miRNAs) biogenesis via its interaction with SRRT/ARS2 and is required for miRNA-mediated RNA interference. The CBC complex also acts as a negative regulator of PARN, thereby acting as an inhibitor of mRNA deadenylation. In the CBC complex, NCBP1/CBP80 does not bind directly capped RNAs (m7GpppG-capped RNA) but is required to stabilize the movement of the N-terminal loop of NCBP2/CBP20 and lock the CBC into a high affinity cap-binding state with the cap structure.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [NCBP2_HUMAN] Component of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which binds co-transcriptionally to the 5' cap of pre-mRNAs and is involved in various processes such as pre-mRNA splicing, translation regulation, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, RNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) by microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNA export.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe 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.
