Nucleocytoplasmic RNA transport.

G A Clawson, C M Feldherr, E A Smuckler

    Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry
    |July 1, 1985

    Summary

    Nuclear RNA transport is an energy-dependent process involving a specific nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase). Carcinogens disrupt this NTPase, potentially altering RNA transport in cancer.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Nuclear RNA processing events like capping, methylation, and splicing occur within the nucleus.
    • These processed RNAs are then transported across the nuclear envelope into the cytoplasm.
    • Studying RNA translocation is complex, necessitating in vitro systems for detailed examination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the mechanisms and regulation of RNA translocation across the nuclear envelope.
    • To identify the molecular components involved in energy-dependent RNA transport.
    • To explore the relationship between nuclear envelope enzymes and RNA transport, particularly in the context of carcinogenesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized isolated nuclei systems for studying RNA translocation.
    • Investigated the role of high-energy phosphate bonds in nucleotide additives on RNA release.
    • Employed photoaffinity labeling to identify the key enzyme involved in RNA transport.

    Main Results:

    • RNA transport from isolated nuclei is linked to the hydrolysis of high-energy phosphate bonds.
    • Messenger-like RNA and mature ribosomal RNA are transported in distinct ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs).
    • RNA transport is an energy-dependent process mediated by a 46 kD nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase) associated with the nuclear envelope.

    Conclusions:

    • Nuclear RNA transport is an active, energy-requiring process.
    • A specific nuclear envelope NTPase plays a crucial role in mediating RNA translocation.
    • Carcinogen-induced alterations in NTPase activity may contribute to aberrant RNA transport in cancer.
