Abstract:
Arabidopsis COLD SHOCK DOMAIN PROTEIN 3 (AtCSP3) shares an RNA chaperone function with E. coli cold shock proteins and regulates freezing tolerance during cold acclimation. Here, we screened for AtCSP3-interacting proteins using a yeast two-hybrid system and 38 candidate interactors were identified. Sixteen of these were further confirmed in planta interaction between AtCSP3 by a bi-molecular fluorescence complementation assay. We found that AtCSP3 interacts with CONSTANS-LIKE protein 15 and nuclear poly(A)-binding proteins in nuclear speckles. Three 60S ribosomal proteins (RPL26A, RPL40A/UBQ2, and RPL36aB) and the Gar1 RNA-binding protein interacted with AtCSP3 in the nucleolus and nucleoplasm, suggesting that AtCSP3 functions in ribosome biogenesis. Interactions with LOS2/enolase and glycine-rich RNA-binding protein 7 that are cold inducible, and an mRNA decapping protein 5 (DCP5) were observed in the cytoplasm. These data suggest that AtCSP3 participates in multiple complexes that reside in nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments and possibly regulates RNA processing and functioning.

This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...
