Crystal structure of human Dbp5 in complex with Nup214
Structural highlights
DiseaseNU214_HUMAN Note=A chromosomal aberration involving NUP214 is found in a subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); also known as acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. Translocation t(6;9)(p23;q34) with DEK. It results in the formation of a DEK-CAN fusion gene. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving NUP214 is found in some cases of acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL). Translocation t(6;9)(q21;q34.1) with SET. FunctionNU214_HUMAN May serve as a docking site in the receptor-mediated import of substrates across the nuclear pore complex. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

It binds RNA and is concentrated and locally activated at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex. We have determined the crystal structures of human DBP5 bound to RNA and AMPPNP, and bound to the cytoplasmic nucleoporin NUP214. The structures reveal that binding of DBP5 to nucleic acid and to NUP214 is mutually exclusive. Using in vitro assays, we demonstrate that NUP214 decreases both the RNA binding and ATPase activities of DBP5. The interactions are mediated by conserved residues, implying a conserved recognition mechanism. These results suggest a framework for the consecutive steps leading to the release of mRNA at the final stages of nuclear export. More generally, they provide a paradigm for how binding of regulators can specifically inhibit DEAD-box proteins. The mRNA export protein DBP5 binds RNA and the cytoplasmic nucleoporin NUP214 in a mutually exclusive manner.,von Moeller H, Basquin C, Conti E Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2009 Feb 15.
