Identification of PNPase and RhlB binding proteins in Deinococcus radiodurans

ABSTRACT: 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) is a common RNA oxidation that has been implicated in carcinogenesis, neurodegeneration, and aging. Some? Many? RNA-binding proteins have shown binding preference for 8-oxoG modified RNA; such binding? can protect cells from oxidative stress. To date, the presence of specific 8-oxoG-recognizing proteins is only known in model organisms, but, how these proteins cooperate is still unclear. Here, we use RNA affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry to search for proteins that specifically bind 8-oxoG-modified RNA in Deinococcus radiodurans, an extremophilic bacterium with extraordinary resistance to oxidative stresses. We identified four proteins that selectively bind to oxidized RNA: polynucleotide phosphorylase (DR_2063/PNPase), ATP-dependent DEAD-box RNA helicase (DR_0335/RhlB), ribosomal protein S1 (DR_1983/RpsA), and transcriptional termination factor (DR_1338/Rho). The knockout of PNPase and RhlB in D. radiodurans caused increased sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide and a significant accumulation of 8-oxoG modified RNA. Importantly, PNPase directly interacts with RhlB in D. radiodurans; however, no additional phenotypic effect was observed for the double deletion of pnp and rhlB compared to the individual single deletions. Overall, our findings suggest a role of the PNPase-RhlB complex in targeting 8-oxoG-modified RNAs for rapid degradation and thereby constitutes an important component of D. radiodurans resistance to oxidative stress.

Project description:Nup133 belongs to the Y-complex, a key component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) scaffold. Studies on a null mutation in mice previously revealed that Nup133 is essential for embryonic development but not for mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) proliferation. Using single pore detection and average NE-fluorescence intensity, we find that Nup133 is dispensable for interphase and postmitotic NPC scaffold assembly in pluripotent mESCs. However, loss of Nup133 specifically perturbs the formation of the nuclear basket as manifested by the absence of Tpr in about half of the NPCs combined with altered dynamics of Nup153. Nup153 is a large multifunctional protein that interacts with both the Y-complex and Tpr through its N-terminal NPC-targeting domain (NTD, [aa 1-339]) (Hase and Cordes, 2003; Vasu et al., 2001). To explore the possibility that the interaction between Nup153-NTD and the Y-complex or Tpr requires Nup133, we performed pull down assays on whole protein extracts from WT and Nup133-/- mESCs using recombinant Nup153-NTD [aa 1-339] as bait. Nup153 [aa 1-245], lacking the binding domains for the Y-complex and Tpr served as control. Western blot and quantitative mass spectrometry analyses detected Nup133 only in WT samples and documented its specific enrichment, along with other tested Y-Nups and Tpr, in the Nup153-NTD [aa 1-339] bound fraction. These analyses also revealed a similar enrichment of Tpr and Y-complex proteins in Nup153-NTD [aa 1-339]-purified extracts from either WT or Nup133-/- mESCs. These data show that in the context of whole cell lysates containing NPCs as dissociated subcomplexes, the lack of Nup133 neither precludes nor appreciably affects the biochemical interaction between Nup153-NTD and the Y-complex or Tpr. This differs from the in vivo situation that revealed a measurable impact of Nup133 on Nup153 dynamics and Tpr localization in the context of assembled NPCs. This apparent discrepancy between our in vitro and in vivo data indicates that the structural integrity of the NPC is likely required to visualize the contribution of Nup133 to the binding of Nup153 to Tpr or to the Y-complex.
