Abstract Box C/D RNA protein complexes (RNPs) catalyze site-specific 2′-O-methylation of RNA with specificity determined by guide RNAs. In eukaryotic C/D RNP, the paralogous Nop58 and Nop56 proteins specifically associate with terminal C/D and internal C'/D' motifs of guide RNAs, respectively. We have reconstituted active C/D RNPs with recombinant proteins of the thermophilic yeast Chaetomium thermophilum. Nop58 and Nop56 could not distinguish between the two C/D motifs in the reconstituted enzyme, suggesting that the assembly specificity is imposed by trans-acting factors in vivo. The two C/D motifs are functionally independent and halfmer C/D RNAs can also guide site-specific methylation. Extensive pairing between C/D RNA and substrate is inhibitory to modification for both yeast and archaeal C/D RNPs. N6-methylated adenine at box D/D' interferes with the function of the coupled guide. Our data show that all C/D RNPs share the same functional organization and mechanism of action and provide insight into the assembly specificity of eukaryotic C/D RNPs.

The k-turn is a ubiquitous structural motif in RNA forming a very tight kink in the axis of helical RNA that plays an important role in many aspects of RNA function. L7Ae is a member of a superfamily of proteins that bind k-turns in RNA, stabilizing the tightly kinked conformation. They are extremely widespread and are important in the assembly of RNA–protein complexes central to translation, splicing and site-specific RNA modification. The interaction is exploited in order to regulate the synthesis of L7Ae proteins and is itself subject to regulation in box C/D snoRNP assembly by N6 methylation of a key adenine in the k-turn. Lastly, we can exploit the L7Ae–k-turn interaction in the construction of nanoscale assemblies.

Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic RNA–protein complexes localized in the cytoplasm that rapidly form under stress conditions and disperse when normal conditions are restored. The formation of SGs depends on the Ras-GAP SH3 domain-binding protein (G3BP). Formations, interactions and functions of plant and human SGs are strikingly similar, suggesting a conserved mechanism. However, functional analyses of plant G3BPs are missing. Thus, members of the Arabidopsis thaliana G3BP (AtG3BP) protein family were investigated in a complementation assay in a human G3BP knock-out cell line. It was shown that two out of seven AtG3BPs were able to complement the function of their human homolog. GFP-AtG3BP fusion proteins co-localized with human SG marker proteins Caprin-1 and eIF4G1 and restored SG formation in G3BP double KO cells. Interaction between AtG3BP-1 and -7 and known human G3BP interaction partners such as Caprin-1 and USP10 was also demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation. In addition, an RG/RGG domain exchange from Arabidopsis G3BP into the human G3BP background showed the ability for complementation. In summary, our results support a conserved mechanism of SG function over the kingdoms, which will help to further elucidate the biological function of the Arabidopsis G3BP protein family.
