In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, nonsense mutations in a gene can enhance the decay rate or reduce the abundance of the mRNA transcribed from that gene, and we call this process nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. We have been investigating the cis-acting sequences involved in this decay pathway. Previous experiments have demonstrated that, in addition to a nonsense codon, specific sequences 3' of a nonsense mutation, which have been defined as downstream elements, are required for mRNA destabilization. The results presented here identify a sequence motif (TGYYGATGYYYYY, where Y stands for either T or C) that can predict regions in genes that, when positioned 3' of a nonsense codon, promote rapid decay of its mRNA. Sequences harboring two copies of the motif from five regions in the PGK1, ADE3, and HIS4 genes were able to function as downstream elements. In addition, four copies of this motif can function as an independent downstream element. The sequences flanking the motif played a more significant role in modulating its activity when fewer copies of the sequence motif were present. Our results indicate the sequences 5' of the motif can modulate its activity by maintaining a certain distance between the sequence motif and the termination codon. We also suggest that the sequences 3' of the motif modulate the activity of the downstream element by forming RNA secondary structures. Consistent with this view, a stem-loop structure positioned 3' of the sequence motif can enhance the activity of the downstream element. This sequence motif is one of the few elements that have been identified that can predict regions in genes that can be involved in mRNA turnover. The role of these sequences in mRNA decay is discussed.

AbstractNonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a translation-dependent RNA degradation pathway involved in many cellular pathways and crucial for telomere maintenance and embryo development. Core NMD factors Upf1, Upf2 and Upf3 are conserved from yeast to mammals, but a universal NMD model is lacking. We used affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry and an improved data analysis protocol to obtain the first large-scale quantitative characterization of yeast NMD complexes in yeast (112 experiments). Unexpectedly, we identified two distinct complexes associated with Upf1: Detector (Upf1/2/3) and Effector. Effector contained the mRNA decapping enzyme, together with Nmd4 and Ebs1, two proteins that globally affected NMD and were critical for RNA degradation mediated by the Upf1 C-terminal helicase region. The fact that Nmd4 association to RNA was dependent on Detector components and the similarity between Nmd4/Ebs1 and mammalian Smg5-7 proteins suggest that in all eukaryotes NMD operates through successive Upf1-bound Detector and Effector complexes.
