PolyA polymerase module of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Structural highlights
Function[CFT1_YEAST] RNA-binding component of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) complex, which plays a key role in polyadenylation-dependent pre-mRNA 3'-end formation and cooperates with cleavage factors including the CFIA complex and NAB4/CFIB. Involved in poly(A) site recognition. May be involved in coupling transcription termination and mRNA 3'-end formation.[1] [2] [PFS2_YEAST] Integral and essential component of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) complex, which plays a key role in polyadenylation-dependent pre-mRNA 3'-end formation and cooperates with cleavage factors including the CFIA complex and NAB4/CFIB. May bridge the CPF and CFIA complexes.[3] [YTH1_YEAST] RNA-binding component of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) complex, which plays a key role in polyadenylation-dependent pre-mRNA 3'-end formation and cooperates with cleavage factors including the CFIA complex and NAB4/CFIB.[4] Publication Abstract from PubMedNewly transcribed eukaryotic pre-mRNAs are processed at their 3'-ends by the ~1 MDa multiprotein cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF). CPF cleaves pre-mRNAs, adds a poly(A) tail and triggers transcription termination but it is unclear how its different enzymes are coordinated and assembled. Here, we show that the nuclease, polymerase and phosphatase activities of yeast CPF are organized into three modules. Using cryo-EM, we determine a 3.5 A resolution structure of the ~200 kDa polymerase module. This reveals four beta propellers in an assembly strikingly similar to other protein complexes that bind nucleic acid. Combined with in vitro reconstitution experiments, our data show that the polymerase module brings together factors required for specific and efficient polyadenylation, to help coordinate mRNA 3'-end processing.
