This study visualizes mRNA nuclear export in yeast, revealing critical links between RNA processing, including splicing and polyadenylation, and efficient export. Stress conditions differentially affect RNA export, highlighting complex regulatory mechanisms.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Nuclear export of messenger RNA (mRNA) is essential for gene expression.
  • This process is believed to be coupled with mRNA processing and packaging into ribonucleoprotein complexes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a system for observing mRNA nuclear export in living yeast cells.
  • To investigate the effects of various factors on mRNA export dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • A novel system was created by fusing the U1A RNA-binding protein to green fluorescent protein.
  • Specific mRNAs with engineered U1A hairpins were tracked.
  • The export of RNAs (Rpl25, Pgk1, Ssa4) was examined under different conditions, including mutations affecting processing, export machinery, and stress.

Main Results:

  • Mutants affecting nuclear export machinery and nucleoporins caused mRNA accumulation in the nucleus.
  • Under stress, PGK1 and RPL25 transcripts accumulated, while SSA4 RNA was exported.
  • Blocking export led to nucleolar accumulation of RNAs with the ASH1 3' UTR.
  • Splicing mutations blocked export of intron-containing RNAs.
  • Mutations in RNA14, RNA15, and PAP1 disrupted export of all RNAs, linking it to polyadenylation.

Conclusions:

  • mRNA nuclear export is intricately linked to RNA processing events like splicing and polyadenylation.
  • Stress responses can differentially regulate the export of specific transcripts.
  • The study provides a visual and mechanistic understanding of mRNA export regulation in yeast.
