Regulation of mRNA fates can alter the gene-expression profile promptly and specifically. Deadenylation is a process of which the poly(A) tail is degraded by deadenylases. By regulating mRNA turnover, deadenylases are involved in various vital cellular processes including stress responses. However, it is unclear whether deadenylases play a role in the adaption/tolerance of extremophiles. In this research, we cloned the deadenylase cap from Dunaliella salina (dscaf1), a unicellular green alga with exceptional halotolerance. In silicon analysis indicated that compared with the mesophilic alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii call, dscaf1 promoter contained more elements responsive to abiotic stresses. Dscaf1 had an extremely high expression level under hypersaline conditions. When the D. salina cells were subject to stress shock, a two-stage response was observed for dscaf1 expression. The mRNA level of dscaf1 had an immediate 2-4 fold increase and followed by an 10 fold increase after hyperosmotic, heat or UV treatment, while had an about 3 fold increase quickly followed by an abrupt decrease after hypoosmotic or cold shock. The dissimilarity in dscaf1 expression patterns suggested that DsCaf1 is a stress-responsive deadenylase with the ability to regulate fates of a specific group of mRNAs for a certain type of stress.
