Structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PAN2 pseudoubiquitin-hydrolase-RNase module
Structural highlights
Function[PAN2_YEAST] Catalytic subunit of the poly(A)-nuclease (PAN) deadenylation complex, one of two cytoplasmic mRNA deadenylases involved in mRNA turnover. PAN specifically shortens poly(A) tails of RNA when the poly(A) stretch is bound by poly(A)-binding protein PAB1, which is followed by rapid degradation of the shortened mRNA tails by the CCR4-NOT complex. Deadenylated mRNAs are then degraded by two alternative mechanisms, namely exosome-mediated 3'-5' exonucleolytic degradation, or deadenlyation-dependent mRNA decaping by DCP1-DCP2 and subsequent 5'-3' exonucleolytic degradation by XRN1. May also be involved in post-transcriptional maturation of mRNA poly(A) tails, trimming the tails from their synthesized length to the slightly shorter, apparently messenger-specific length found on newly exported mRNAs. PAN cooperates with protein kinase DUN1 in the regulation of RAD5 mRNA levels and cell survival in response to replicational stress.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Publication Abstract from PubMedPan2-Pan3 is a conserved complex involved in the shortening of mRNA poly(A) tails, the initial step in eukaryotic mRNA turnover. We show that recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pan2-Pan3 can deadenylate RNAs in vitro without needing the poly(A)-binding protein Pab1. The crystal structure of an active ~200-kDa core complex reveals that Pan2 and Pan3 interact with an unusual 1:2 stoichiometry imparted by the asymmetric nature of the Pan3 homodimer. An extended region of Pan2 wraps around Pan3 and provides a major anchoring point for complex assembly. A Pan2 module formed by the pseudoubiquitin-hydrolase and RNase domains latches onto the Pan3 pseudokinase with intertwined interactions that orient the deadenylase active site toward the A-binding site of the interacting Pan3. The molecular architecture of Pan2-Pan3 suggests how the nuclease and its pseudokinase regulator act in synergy to promote deadenylation. The structure of the Pan2-Pan3 core complex reveals cross-talk between deadenylase and pseudokinase.,Schafer IB, Rode M, Bonneau F, Schussler S, Conti E Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2014 Jun 1. doi: 10.1038/nsmb.2834.
