Abstract

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the CBC‐Tif4631p‐dependent exosomal targeting (CTEXT) complex consisting of Cbc1/2p, Tif4631p and Upf3p promotes the exosomal degradation of aberrantly long 3′‐extended, export‐defective transcripts and a small group of normal (termed ‘special’) mRNAs. We carried out a systematic analysis of all previously characterized functional domains of the major CTEXT component Tif4631p by deleting each of them and interrogating their involvement in the nuclear surveillance of abnormally long 3′‐extended and export‐defective messages. Our analyses show that the N‐terminal RNA recognition motif 1 (RRM1) and poly(A)‐binding protein (PAB) domains of Tif4631p, spanning amino acid residues, 1–82 and 188–299 in its primary structure, respectively, play a crucial role in degrading these aberrant messages. Furthermore, the physical association of the nuclear exosome with the altered/variant CTEXT complex harboring any of the mutant Tif4631p proteins lacking either the RRM1 or PAB domain becomes abolished. This finding indicates that the association between CTEXT and the exosome is accomplished via interaction between these Tif4631p domains with the major exosome component, Rrp6p. Abolition of interaction between altered CTEXT (harboring any of the RRM1/PAB‐deleted versions of Tif4631p) and the exosome further leads to the impaired recruitment of the RNA targets to the Rrp6p subunit of the exosome carried out by the RRM1/PAB domains of Tif4631p. When analyzing the Tif4631p‐interacting proteins, we identified a DEAD‐box RNA helicase (Dbp2p), as an interacting partner that turned out to be a previously unknown component of CTEXT. The present study provides a more complete description of the CTEXT complex and offers insight into the functional relationship of this complex with the nuclear exosome.
