Regio-selective synthesis of polyazacyclophanes incorporating a pendant group as potential cleaving agents of mRNA 5′-cap structure
摘要:
A terpyridine or an imidazole unit has been tethered to an N-protected polyazacyclophane to give the appropriate N-monofunctionalized polyazacyclophane. After mild deprotection, four polyazacyclophanes incorporating a pendant group were obtained in satisfactory yields. Their preliminary cleavage ability of mRNA 5'-cap model was studied at pH 7.2.

Following their transcription, eukaryotic messenger RNAs have a 7-methylguanosine cap added to their 5â² ends to protect the mRNA from degradation. Xinfu Jiao et al. show that caps lacking a methyl group are recognized by Rai1, which clips off the incomplete cap. These data suggest that Rai1 is part of a quality-control mechanism that monitors and promotes the digestion of aberrant mRNAs that may arise during stress conditions. Following their synthesis, eukaryotic messenger RNAs have a 7-methylguanosine cap added to their 5â² ends to protect the mRNAs from degradation. Here it is shown that, in vitro and in yeast, caps lacking a methyl group are recognized by the Rai1 protein, which clips off the incomplete cap. The data provide evidence that Rai1 is part of a quality-control mechanism that monitors, and promotes the digestion of, aberrant mRNAs that might arise during stress conditions. The 7-methylguanosine cap structure at the 5â² end of eukaryotic messenger RNAs is a critical determinant of their stability and translational efficiency1,2,3. It is generally believed that 5â²-end capping is a constitutive process that occurs during mRNA maturation and lacks the need for a quality-control mechanism to ensure its fidelity. We recently reported that the yeast Rai1 protein has pyrophosphohydrolase activity towards mRNAs lacking a 5â²-end cap4. Here we show that, in vitro as well as in yeast cells, Rai1 possesses a novel decapping endonuclease activity that can also remove the entire cap structure dinucleotide from an mRNA. This activity is targeted preferentially towards mRNAs with unmethylated caps in contrast to the canonical decapping enzyme, Dcp2, which targets mRNAs with a methylated cap. Capped but unmethylated mRNAs generated in yeast cells with a defect in the methyltransferase gene are more stable in a rai1-gene-disrupted background. Moreover, rai1Î yeast cells with wild-type capping enzymes show significant accumulation of mRNAs with 5â²-end capping defects under nutritional stress conditions of glucose starvation or amino acid starvation. These findings provide evidence that 5â²-end capping is not a constitutive process that necessarily always proceeds to completion and demonstrates that Rai1 has an essential role in clearing mRNAs with aberrant 5â²-end caps. We propose that Rai1 is involved in an as yet uncharacterized quality control process that ensures mRNA 5â²-end integrity by an aberrant-cap-mediated mRNA decay mechanism.

Recently, we reported that two homologous yeast proteins, Rail and Dxo1, function in a quality control mechanism to clear cells of incompletely 5' end-capped messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Here, we report that their mammalian homolog, Dom3Z (referred to as DXO), possesses pyrophosphohydrolase, decapping, and 5'-to-3' exoribonuclease activities. Surprisingly, we found that DXO preferentially degrades defectively capped pre-mRNAs in cells. Additional studies show that incompletely capped pre-mRNAs are inefficiently spliced at all introns, a fact that contrasts with current understanding, and are also poorly cleaved for polyadenylation. Crystal structures of DXO in complex with substrate mimic and products at a resolution of up to 1.5 angstrom provide elegant insights into the catalytic mechanism and molecular basis for their three apparently distinct activities. Our data reveal a pre-mRNA 5' end capping quality control mechanism in mammalian cells, indicating DXO as the central player for this mechanism, and demonstrate an unexpected intimate link between proper 5' end capping and subsequent pre-mRNA processing.
