摘要

The highly stable nature of globin mRNA is of central importance to erythroid cell differentiation. We have previously identified cytidine-rich (C-rich) segments in the human alpha-globin mRNA 3' untranslated region (alpha-3'UTR) which are critical in the maintenance of mRNA stability in transfected erythroid cells. In the present studies, we have detected trans-acting factors which interact with these cis elements to mediate this stabilizing function. A sequence-specific ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex is assembled after incubation of the alpha-3'UTR with a variety of cytosolic extracts. This so-called alpha-complex is sequence specific and is not formed on the 3'UTR of either beta-globin or growth hormone mRNAs. Furthermore, base substitutions within the C-rich stretches which destabilize alpha-globin mRNA in vivo result in a parallel disruption of the alpha-complex in vitro. Competition studies with a series of homoribopolymers reveals a striking sensitivity of alpha-complex formation to poly(C), suggesting the presence of a poly(C)-binding activity within the alpha-complex. Three predominant proteins are isolated by alpha-3'UTR affinity chromatography. One of these binds directly to poly(C). This cytosolic poly(C)-binding protein is distinct from previously described nuclear poly(C)-binding heterogeneous nuclear RNPs and is necessary but not sufficient for alpha-complex formation. These data suggest that a messenger RNP complex formed by interaction of defined segments within the alpha-3'UTR with a limited number of cytosolic proteins, including a potentially novel poly(C)-binding protein, is of functional importance in establishing high-level stability of alpha-globin mRNA.
