NIPP1 (351 residues) is a major regulatory and RNA-anchoring subunit of protein phosphatase 1 in the nucleus. Using recombinant and synthetic fragments of NIPP1, the RNA-binding domain was mapped to the C-terminal residues 330-351. A synthetic peptide encompassing this sequence equalled intact NIPP1 in RNA-binding affinity and could be used to dissociate NIPP1 from the nuclear particulate fraction. An NIPP1 fragment consisting of residues 225-351 (Ard1/NIPP1γ), that may be encoded by an alternatively spliced transcript in transformed B-lymphocytes, displayed a single-strand Mg2+-dependent endoribonuclease activity. However, full-length NIPP1 and NIPP1143-351 were not able to cleave RNA, indicating that the endoribonuclease activity of NIPP1 is restrained by its central domain. The endoribonuclease activity was also recovered in the RNA-binding domain, NIPP1330-351, but with a 30-fold lower specific activity. Thus, the endoribonuclease catalytic site and the RNA-binding site both reside in the C-terminal 22 residues of NIPP1. The latter domain does not conform to any known nucleic-acid binding motif.

The RNA-binding properties of the cell-to-cell movement protein (MP) of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus were analysed. MP was expressed in Escherichia coli and was used in UV-crosslinking analysis, using a digoxigenin–UTP-labelled RNA probe and gel-retardation analysis. The analyses demonstrated that MP bound cooperatively to single-stranded RNA (ssRNA). When analysed for NaCl dependence of the RNA-binding activity, the majority of the MP could bind ssRNA even in binding buffer with 1 M NaCl. Furthermore, competition binding experiments showed that the MP bound preferentially to ssRNA and single-stranded DNA without sequence specificity. MP deletion mutants were used to identify the RNA-binding domain by UV-crosslinking analysis. Amino acid residues 82–126 and 127–287 potentially contain two independently active, single-stranded nucleic acid-binding domains.

ABSTRACT Neurabin I, a neuronal actin-binding protein, binds protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and p70 ribosomal S6 protein kinase (p70S6K), both proteins implicated in cytoskeletal dynamics. We expressed wild-type and mutant neurabins fused to green fluorescent protein in Cos7, HEK293, and hippocampal neurons. Biochemical and cellular studies showed that an N-terminal F-actin-binding domain dictated neurabin I localization at actin cytoskeleton and promoted disassembly of stress fibers. Deletion of the C-terminal coiled-coil and sterile alpha motif domains abolished neurabin I dimerization and induced filopodium extension. Immune complex assays showed that neurabin I recruited an active PP1 via a PP1-docking sequence,457KIKF460. Mutation of the PP1-binding motif or PP1 inhibition by okadaic acid and calyculin A abolished filopodia and restored stress fibers in cells expressing neurabin I. In vitro and in vivo studies suggested that the actin-binding domain attenuated protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of neurabin I. Modification of a major PKA site, serine-461, impaired PP1 binding. Finally, p70S6K was excluded from neurabin I/PP1 complexes and required the displacement of PP1 for recruitment to neurabin I. These studies provided new insights into the assembly and regulation of a neurabin I/PP1 complex that controls actin rearrangement to promote spine development in mammalian neurons.
