Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum01:34

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

12.0K
The organelle-specific signaling sequences direct proteins synthesized in the cytosol to their final destination like ER, mitochondria, peroxisomes, etc. Some of the proteins directed to ER are then trafficked via vesicles to other organelles within the cell or the extracellular environment through the Golgi complex. For example, the rough ER synthesizes soluble proteins for transportation to the lysosomes or secretion out of the cell. It can also synthesize transmembrane proteins that can...

Overview
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.

Nucleic Acid Structure

8.1K
The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms  a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.

Nucleic acids are the most important macromolecules for the continuity of life. They carry the cell's genetic blueprint and carry instructions for its functioning.
DNA and RNA
The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. In prokaryotes,...

Summary

The Nrd1 protein in yeast binds to various RNA motifs beyond the known GUA[A/G] sequence. This broad binding capability, revealed by structural and binding studies, impacts non-coding RNA processing and surveillance.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • RNA Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Nrd1-dependent pathways are crucial for non-coding RNA surveillance and processing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
  • The Nrd1 complex, including Nrd1, Nab3, and Sen1 helicase, mediates transcription termination and RNA processing.
  • Nrd1 and Nab3 typically recognize specific RNA motifs (GUA[A/G] and UCUU[G]), but alternative motifs are suspected.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the structure and RNA-binding properties of the Nrd1 protein.
  • To identify alternative RNA motifs recognized by Nrd1.
  • To understand the molecular basis for Nrd1's substrate specificity in RNA processing.

Main Methods:

  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine Nrd1 structure.
  • Fluorescence anisotropy to study RNA-binding affinities.
  • Phenotypic analyses in vivo to assess functional implications.

Main Results:

  • The solution structure of a two-domain RNA-binding fragment of Nrd1 was determined.
  • Nrd1 binds to G-rich and AU-rich RNA motifs, in addition to GUA[A/G], with low micromolar affinity.
  • Adaptable interaction surfaces in Nrd1's RNA-recognition and helix-loop bundle domains enable broad substrate specificity.

Conclusions:

  • Nrd1 exhibits broader RNA-binding specificity than previously known, recognizing diverse motifs.
  • The adaptable structure of Nrd1 facilitates interactions with multiple RNA substrates.
  • These findings are significant for understanding the termination and processing of numerous non-coding RNAs, especially those from pervasive transcription.
