摘要

Globin mRNAs accumulate to 95% of total cellular mRNA during terminal erythroid differentiation, reflecting their extraordinary stability. The stability of human α-globin mRNA is paralleled by formation of a sequence-specific RNA-protein (RNP) complex at a pyrimidine-rich site within its 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR), the α-complex. The proteins of the α-complex are widely expressed. The α-complex or a closely related complex also assembles at pyrimidine-rich 3′UTR segments of other stable mRNAs. These data suggest that the α-complex may constitute a general determinant of mRNA stability. One or more αCPs, members of a family of hnRNP K-homology domain poly(C) binding proteins, are essential constituents of the α-complex. The ability of αCPs to homodimerize and their reported association with additional RNA binding proteins such as AU-rich binding factor 1 (AUF1) and hnRNP K have suggested that the α-complex is a multisubunit structure. In the present study, we have addressed the composition of the α-complex. An RNA titration recruitment assay revealed that αCPs were quantitatively incorporated into the α-complex in the absence of associated AUF1 and hnRNP K. A high-affinity direct interaction between each of the three major αCP isoforms and the α-globin 3′UTR was detected, suggesting that each of these proteins might be sufficient for α-complex assembly. This sufficiency was further supported by the sequence-specific binding of recombinant αCPs to a spectrum of RNA targets. Finally, density sedimentation analysis demonstrated that the α-complex could accommodate only a single αCP. These data established that a single αCP molecule binds directly to the α-globin 3′UTR, resulting in a simple binary structure for the α-complex.
