Crystal structure of Lsm2-3-Pat1C complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Structural highlights
FunctionLSM3_YEAST Component of LSm protein complexes, which are involved in RNA processing and may function in a chaperone-like manner. Component of the cytoplasmic LSM1-LSM7 complex which is thought to be involved in mRNA degradation by activating the decapping step. Component of the nuclear LSM2-LSM8 complex, which is involved in splicing of nuclear mRNAs. LSM2-LSM8 associates with multiple snRNP complexes containing the U6 snRNA (U4/U6 snRNP, U4/U6.U5 snRNP, and free U6 snRNP). It binds directly to the U6 snRNA and plays a role in the biogenesis and stability of the U6 snRNP and U4/U6 snRNP complexes. It probably also is involved degradation of nuclear pre-mRNA by targeting them for decapping. LSM3 binds specifically to the 3'-terminal U-tract of U6 snRNA. LSM2-LSM8 probably is involved in processing of pre-tRNAs, pre-rRNAs and U3 snoRNA. LSM3, probably in a complex that contains LSM2-LSM7 but not LSM1 or LSM8, associates with the precursor of the RNA component of RNase P (pre-P RNA) and may be involved in maturing pre-P RNA. LSM3 is required for processing of pre-tRNAs, pre-rRNAs and U3 snoRNA.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe evolutionarily conserved Lsm1-7-Pat1 complex is the most critical activator of mRNA decapping in eukaryotic cells and plays many roles in normal decay, AU-rich element-mediated decay, and miRNA silencing, yet how Pat1 interacts with the Lsm1-7 complex is unknown. Here, we show that Lsm2 and Lsm3 bridge the interaction between the C-terminus of Pat1 (Pat1C) and the Lsm1-7 complex. The Lsm2-3-Pat1C complex and the Lsm1-7-Pat1C complex stimulate decapping in vitro to a similar extent and exhibit similar RNA-binding preference. The crystal structure of the Lsm2-3-Pat1C complex shows that Pat1C binds to Lsm2-3 to form an asymmetric complex with three Pat1C molecules surrounding a heptameric ring formed by Lsm2-3. Structure-based mutagenesis revealed the importance of Lsm2-3-Pat1C interactions in decapping activation in vivo. Based on the structure of Lsm2-3-Pat1C, a model of Lsm1-7-Pat1 complex is constructed and how RNA binds to this complex is discussed.Cell Research advance online publication 19 November 2013; doi:10.1038/cr.2013.152.
