Nuclear deadenylation/polyadenylation factors regulate 3' processing in response to DNA damage.

ABSTRACT: We previously showed that mRNA 3' end cleavage reaction in cell extracts is strongly but transiently inhibited under DNA-damaging conditions. The cleavage stimulation factor-50 (CstF-50) has a role in this response, providing a link between transcription-coupled RNA processing and DNA repair. In this study, we show that CstF-50 interacts with nuclear poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) using in vitro and in extracts of UV-exposed cells. The CstF-50/PARN complex formation has a role in the inhibition of 3' cleavage and activation of deadenylation upon DNA damage. Extending these results, we found that the tumour suppressor BARD1, which is involved in the UV-induced inhibition of 3' cleavage, strongly activates deadenylation by PARN in the presence of CstF-50, and that CstF-50/BARD1 can rev
