Structural basis for m3G-cap-mediated nuclear import of spliceosomal UsnRNPs by snurportin1.

  ABSTRACT  
 
In higher eukaryotes the biogenesis of spliceosomal UsnRNPs involves a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling cycle. After the m7G-cap-dependent export of the snRNAs U1, U2, U4 and U5 to the cytoplasm, each of these snRNAs associates with seven Sm proteins. Subsequently, the m7G-cap is hypermethylated to the 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine (m3G)-cap. The import adaptor snurportin1 recognises the m3G-cap and facilitates the nuclear import of the UsnRNPs by binding to importin-beta. Here we report the crystal structure of the m3G-cap-binding domain of snurportin1 with bound m3GpppG at 2.4 A resolution, revealing a structural similarity to the mRNA-guanyly-transferase. Snurportin1 binds both the hypermethylated cap and the first nucleotide of the RNA in a stacked conformation. This binding mode differs significantly from that of the m7G-cap-binding proteins Cap-binding protein 20 (CBP20), eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and viral protein 39 (VP39). The specificity of the m3G-cap recognition by snurportin1 was evaluated by fluorescence spectroscopy, demonstrating the importance of a highly solvent exposed tryptophan for the discrimination of m7G-capped RNAs. The critical role of this tryptophan and as well of a tryptophan continuing the RNA base stack was confirmed by nuclear import assays and cap-binding activity tests using several snurportin1 mutants.

Figure 3.
Figure 3 Comparison of cap-binding pockets. m7G-cap-binding pockets of CBP20, eIF4E and the viral nucleoside 2'-O-methyltransferase (VP39) are presented in comparison to the m[3]G-cap-binding pocket of snurportin1. Side chains of residues interacting with the caps are depicted in ball-and-stick mode. Atoms of the caps and the interacting side chains are coloured as described in Figure 1, with the exception of carbon atoms of the dinucleotide, which are shown in orange. In all presented cases, the residues stacking the bases and those forming hydrogen bonds with the cap bases are depicted. Hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed grey lines.

Figure 5 Structural similarity of snurportin1 with bound m[3]GpppG to the mRNA-guanylyltransferase with bound GTP. (A) Superimposed protein structures presented as ribbon diagrams and the bound nucleotides in ball-and-stick representation. Human snurportin1 -m[3]GpppG complex (coloured red) and the mRNA-guanylyltransferase -GTP complex (coloured grey) of the Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1 (PDB accession code 1CKM) share an amino-acid sequence identity of 8.3% for the structurally homologous regions. (B) Close-up view of the nucleotide-binding pockets. In the mRNA-guanylyltransferase, the bound GTP protrudes much deeper into the cleft between the -sheets. (C) Structure-based sequence alignment of human snurportin1 and human mRNA-guanylyltransferase reveals a sequence identity of 12.7%.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
