Molecular Structure of the mRNA Export Factor Gle1 from <i>Debaryomyces hansenii</i>.

ABSTRACT: Gle1 functions as a regulator of Dbp5, a DEAD-box-containing RNA helicase that is a component of the nuclear pore complex. In association with Gle1 and inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), ADP-bound Dbp5 facilitates the release of RNA. The RNA-bound Dbp5 undergoes ATP hydrolysis and is activated by Gle1 in the presence of IP6. The formation of a ternary complex involving Dbp5, Gle1, and the nucleoporin Nup159 promotes ADP secretion and prevents RNA recombination. To date, several complex structures of Gle1 with its binding partners have been described; however, the structure of unbound Gle1 remains elusive. To investigate the structural features associated with complex formation, the crystal structure of N-terminally truncated Gle1 from Debaryomyces hansenii (DhGle1ΔN) was determ
