Abstract
X29, a 25 kDa Nudix hydrolase from Xenopus laevis that cleaves 5' caps from U8 snoRNA, crystallizes as a homodimeric apoenzyme. Manganese binds crystals of apo-X29 to form holo-X29 only in the presence of nucleot(s)ide. Structural changes in X29 on nucleo-t(s)ide-assisted Mn(+2) uptake account for the observed cooperativity of metal binding. Structures of X29 with GTP or m7GpppA show a different mode of ligand binding from that of other cap binding proteins and suggest a possible three- or four-metal Nudix reaction mechanism. The X29 dimer has no known RNA binding motif, but its striking surface dipolarity and unique structural features create a plausible RNA binding channel on the positive face of the protein. Because U8 snoRNP is essential for accumulation of mature 5.8S and 28S rRNA in vertebrate ribosome biogenesis, and cap structures are required for U8 stability in vivo, X29 could profoundly influence this fundamental cellular pathway.

Figure 3. Surface Charge Distribution of Opposite Faces of X29
Blue indicates regions of positive surface charge and red indicates negative, contoured at ± 5kt cutoff, respectively. Overlaid ribbon in (C) shows extensions (black arrow pointers) that define the two sides of the inferred RNA binding channel, which is indicated by yellow arrows. Active sites of each monomer are occupied by m7GpppA (gold and green ball-and-stick). Views are down the dyad axis.

Full text Abstract
Figure 1.
Figure 1. cDNA for X29 ProteinThe complete nucleotide sequence for X29 is shown with a translation below. The initiating methionine is indicated in bold. Underlined peptides were obtained by Edman sequencing or MS/MS. The NUDIX consensus sequence is boxed, with the adjacent glutamic acid residues essential for catalysis indicated. The KK in the NUDIX domain indicates the X29 EE→KK mutation (see text). Degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to peptides labeled #7 and #8 (dashed underline) yielded the 350 bp fragment by RT-PCR. X29 Genbank Accession Number, AY423379.

Figure 6. X29 Cleaves Capped RNAs and Leaves a 5′ Monophosphate(A) U8 or U3 RNAs were transcribed in the presence of GpppG (G), m^7GpppG (m^7G), or m^227G pppG (TMG) cap analogs as indicated. RNAs were incubated in a decapping reaction then ligated to a radiolabeled tag RNA of 30 nt in length via a bridge oligo (schematic at top, see text and Experimental Procedures). Ligation products were resolved on a denaturing 8% acrylamide gel. Autoradiography displayed only the ligated products. Capped RNAs are not a substrate for ligation since a 5′ monophosphate is required.(B) Xenopus oocytes were microinjected with 5 pMol-labeled U8 RNA synthesized with a GpppG or no cap (pppG). At the time interval indicated (in minutes), total RNA was isolated from the oocytes and resolved on a denaturing acrylamide gel. Autoradiography demonstrates the instability of uncapped U8 RNA in vivo.
