DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project summary: Synthesis of mRNA in eukaryotes, and its utilization in the cytoplasm, requires modification at the RNA's 3' end by addition of a poly(A) tail. This process also serves as a point at which the cell can regulate the type and amount of mRNA derived from a particular gene. Even though mRNA 3' end formation occurs in an unexpectedly large complex, most, if not all, of the subunits of this machinery have been identified in the yeast S. cerevisiae. However, little is known about how these 21 proteins cooperate with each other to insure processing that is accurate as well as coupled in a timely fashion to other events in mRNA synthesis and packaging. With the 3'-end processing components in hand, and activities for several of these factors newly defined, a unique opportunity now exists to rigorously address the mechanism by which this essential and universal step in gene expression occurs and is regulated. The central hypothesis of this proposal is that definable rearrangements of protein partners occur within the complex as it evaluates the authenticity of the processing site, commits to cleavage at the poly(A) site, reorganizes to position the poly(A) polymerase for tail synthesis, and releases the final RNA product. The objective is to understand how such reorganizations drive the cycle of mRNA 3' end processing. The research focuses on four events that are likely to be critical transition points in this cycle yet whose underlying mechanisms are not understood. These include the initiation of cleavage and the role of the Ssuy2 protein in this step, the transition from cleavage to poly(A) addition and its regulation by phosphorylation of the Ptai scaffold protein, the control of poly(A) polymerase activity by interactions at its amino-terminus, and the release of processing factors following tail synthesis. The studies will use yeast as the model organism because of the ease of introducing tags and mutations into the genome, the availability of numerous 3' end processing mutants, the ease of purifying processing factors for biochemical studies, and the high degree of conservation of the 3' end processing machinery across eukaryotes. Relevance: Without poly(A) tails, mRNA is targeted for degradation in the nucleus, it does not get out of the nucleus very well, and it is not translated efficiently or turned over at the appropriate rate in the cytoplasm. Maturation of mRNA 3' ends is functionally linked to other essential processes such as transcription, mRNA export, chromosome segregation, DNA repair, and tissue-specific protein expression. Mistakes in polyadenylation can impact on all of these processes. The proposed research should significantly advance our insight into the dynamics of this essential step in mRNA synthesis and identify points at which the constitutive process is likely to be regulated.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要：真核生物中mRNA的合成及其在细胞质中的利用需要通过添加poly（A）尾在RNA的3'端进行修饰。这个过程也是细胞可以调节来自特定基因的mRNA的类型和数量的一个点。尽管mRNA 3'末端的形成发生在一个出乎意料的大复合体中，但这种机制的大多数亚基（如果不是全部的话）已经在酵母S.啤酒。然而，很少有人知道这21种蛋白质如何相互合作，以确保加工是准确的，以及及时耦合到mRNA合成和包装中的其他事件。随着3 '端加工组分的掌握，以及这些因子中几种新定义的活性，现在存在一个独特的机会来严格解决基因表达中这一基本和普遍步骤发生和调节的机制。该提议的中心假设是，蛋白质伴侣的可定义重排发生在复合物内，因为它评估加工位点的真实性，在poly（A）位点处进行切割，重组以定位poly（A）聚合酶用于尾合成，并释放最终的RNA产物。目的是了解这种重组如何驱动mRNA 3'端加工的循环。研究重点是四个事件，这些事件可能是这个周期中的关键过渡点，但其潜在机制尚不清楚。这些包括切割的起始和Ssuy2蛋白在该步骤中的作用，从切割到poly（A）添加的转变及其通过Ptai支架蛋白的磷酸化的调节，poly（A）聚合酶活性通过其氨基末端的相互作用的控制，以及尾合成后加工因子的释放。这些研究将使用酵母作为模式生物，因为易于将标签和突变引入基因组，许多3'末端加工突变体的可用性，易于纯化用于生化研究的加工因子，以及真核生物中3'末端加工机制的高度保守性。相关性：没有poly（A）尾，mRNA被靶向在细胞核中降解，它不能很好地离开细胞核，并且它不能有效地翻译或在细胞质中以适当的速率翻转。mRNA 3'端的成熟在功能上与其他基本过程相关，如转录、mRNA输出、染色体分离、DNA修复和组织特异性蛋白表达。多聚腺苷酸化中的错误会影响所有这些过程。拟议的研究应显着推进我们的洞察力在mRNA合成的这一重要步骤的动力学，并确定在组成过程中可能受到监管的点。
