RNA associated with proteasomes and molecular chaperones, like groEL and thermosome, was analyzed. The predominant RNA species were 80-nucleotide transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and 120-nucleotide 5S ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), suggesting non-specific binding.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Proteasome Research

Background:

  • Proteasomes are crucial protein degradation complexes in eukaryotes and archaea.
  • The association of RNA with proteasomes and molecular chaperones is not well understood.
  • Molecular chaperones (groEL, thermosome) were used as controls due to structural similarities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the RNA molecules associated with proteasomes from various sources.
  • To investigate the origin and nature of RNA bound to proteasomes and chaperones.
  • To determine if specific RNA species are intrinsically bound to these protein complexes.

Main Methods:

  • RNA isolation from RNase-treated proteasome preparations (human erythrocytes, HeLa cells, Thermoplasma acidophilum, recombinant T. acidophilum proteasomes).

  • Electrophoretic analysis on polyacrylamide gels for RNA size distribution.
  • Partial sequencing of terminal regions using mobility-shift analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Predominant RNA species found in size ranges of approximately 80 and 120 nucleotides.
    • The ~80-nucleotide RNA species from human erythrocyte proteasomes were identified as transfer RNAs (tRNAs) based on their 3'-terminal sequence (5'-CCA-3').
    • The ~120-nucleotide RNA species showed sequence similarity to 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

    Conclusions:

    • The RNA associated with proteasomes and molecular chaperones is primarily composed of abundant cellular tRNAs and 5S rRNAs.
    • These RNA molecules appear to bind non-specifically to the protein particles.
    • No evidence suggests a specific functional role for these bound RNAs within the proteasome or chaperone complexes.
