TREX2 M-region
Structural highlights
Function[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.[1] [2] [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.[3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedTranscription-export complex 2 (TREX-2, or THSC) facilitates localization of actively transcribing genes such as GAL1 to the nuclear periphery, contributes to the generation of export-competent mRNPs and influences gene expression through interactions with Mediator. TREX-2 is based on a Sac3 scaffold to which Thp1, Sem1, Cdc31 and Sus1 bind and consists of three modules: the N-region (Sac3 approximately 1-100), which binds mRNA export factor Mex67:Mtr2; the M-region, in which Thp1 and Sem1 bind to Sac3 approximately 100-550; and the CID region in which Cdc31 and two Sus1 chains bind to Sac3 approximately 720-805. Although the M-region of Sac3 was originally thought to encompass residues approximately 250-550, we report here the 2.3A resolution crystal structure of a complex containing Sac3 residues 60-550 that indicates that the TPR-like repeats of the M-region extend to residue 137 and that residues 90-125 form a novel loop that links Sac3 to Thp1. These new structural elements are important for growth and mRNA export in vivo. Although deleting Sac3 residues 1-90 produced a wild-type phenotype, deletion of the loop as well generated growth defects at 37 degrees C, whereas the deletion of residues 1-250 impaired mRNA export and also generated longer lag times when glucose or raffinose was replaced by galactose as the carbon source.
