Summary of methods to assess mRNA stability in eukaryotic cells
mRNA degradative activities in mammalian cells • Decapping • DCP2 which binds RNA as a prerequisite for cap recognition. • DCP1 augments DCP2 activity • LSM (SM-LIKE) PROTEINS augment DCP2 activity • 5’ -to-3’ exonuclease activity • XRN1 is a proven 5’ -to-3’ exonuclease that localizes to the cytoplasm. • RAT1/XRN2 is only thought to be a 5’ -to-3’ exonuclease on the basis of its similarity to the yeast orthologue. • Deadenylation • PARN is one of five mammalian homologues to yeast Caf1/Pop2 protein • 3’ -to-5’ exonuclease activity • Exosome (six RNase-PH-DOMAIN components, PM/SCL75,MTR3,RRP41, RRP42, RRP43 and RRP46; three S1 and KH RNA-binding components,RRP4, RRP40 and CSL4; the RNASE D-like components PM/SCL100; the putative helicaseKIAA0053; and a protein that is phosphorylated in the M phase of the cell) • PMR1-like activity • Polysomal ribonuclease 1 (PMR1) is a polysome-associated mRNA endonuclease
ARE-binding proteins • AUBF, AU binding factor ; AU-A, AU binding factor-A ; AU-B, AU binding factor-B ; AU-C, AU binding factor-C ; hnRNP, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein ; KH, hnRNP-K homology domain; KSRP, KH-type splicing regulatory protein 1; ND, not determined; PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell.
