Structural insights into RNA recognition by the alternative-splicing regulator muscleblind-like MBNL1.

  ABSTRACT  
 
Muscleblind-like (MBNL) proteins, regulators of developmentally programmed alternative splicing, harbor tandem CCCH zinc-finger (ZnF) domains that target pre-mRNAs containing YGCU(U/G)Y sequence elements (where Y is a pyrimidine). In myotonic dystrophy, reduced levels of MBNL proteins lead to aberrant alternative splicing of a subset of pre-mRNAs. The crystal structure of MBNL1 ZnF3/4 bound to r(CGCUGU) establishes that both ZnF3 and ZnF4 target GC steps, with site-specific recognition mediated by a network of hydrogen bonds formed primarily with main chain groups of the protein. The relative alignment of ZnF3 and ZnF4 domains is dictated by the topology of the interdomain linker, with a resulting antiparallel orientation of bound GC elements, supportive of a chain-reversal loop trajectory for MBNL1-bound pre-mRNA targets. We anticipate that MBNL1-mediated targeting of looped RNA segments proximal to splice-site junctions could contribute to pre-mRNA alternative-splicing regulation.

Figure 3.
(a) Ribbon and stick representation of the complex containing one MBNL1 ZnF3/4 domain (molecule A) and three RNAs bound by ZnF3 and ZnF4. The ZnF3/4 molecule A is colored light blue. Cysteine and histidine residues coordinating zinc atoms are shown in ball-and-stick representation. The two symmetry-related RNA strands are colored pink and the third RNA strand is colored light orange. The G5 and 5'-C1 nucleotides originating from two RNA strands are bound to ZnF3, whereas the G2-C3-U4 segment of the third strand is bound to the ZnF4 motif. (b) An electrostatic view of the molecule A complex generated using the GRASP and PyMol programs. Basic and acidic regions appear in blue and red, with the intensity of the color proportional to the local potential. (c) View of the protein-RNA interface highlighting intermolecular contacts between G2-C3-U4 segment and MBNL1 ZnF4. Stacking interactions of G2 and C3 bases with arginine and aromatic residues, as well as hydrogen-bonding contacts involving G2, C3 and U4, are highlighted. (d) Electrostatic surface representation of the protein-RNA interface in the same view as in c.

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.
