The authors of this paper screen the collection of non-essential yeast gene deletion strains for defects in mRNA export and identify lrp1Δ and rrp6Δ. Both are involved in nuclear degradation of mRNA transcripts. They further find that Lrp1 mediates nuclear mRNA degradation in response to DNA damage, a function also mediated by Rrp6. These results provide insights into how mRNA surveillance is coupled with mRNA export.

The INO1 gene relocalizes to the nuclear periphery upon transcriptional activation, and this requires the activator Hac1 and the integral membrane proteins Scs2. In a strain lacking Scs2, INO1 was still activated if another method was used to recruit the INO1 gene to the nuclear periphery.

Genes Dev 19 (2005) 1188-1198. This paper examines the effects of ∝-factor treatment on gene expression and the intranuclear location of genes. The authors report that ∝-factor-induced genes relocalize to the nuclear periphery. In addition, these genes become associated with Mlp1 in an RNA-dependent manner. Finally, analysis of genes on chromosome III indicates that association with components of NPCs could be mapped to specific locations within the chromosome, including the 3′ ends of activated genes.

The authors of this paper define the requirements for interaction of activated genes with the nuclear periphery. Specifically, association is found to require the promoter (the UAS and TATA box) but not the SAGA complex or active transcription.

Through utilization of a nuclear localization sequence fused to two green fluorescent proteins and single molecule fluorescence microscopy, the authors monitor transit of the reporter through the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Importantly, they find that the cargo spends most of its time during the brief period of transit moving randomly within the central channel of the NPC, and that the rate-limiting step for translocation is escape from the NPC. The average duration of interaction of this tagged protein with an NPC is 10 ms.

Using purified Ded1 and NPH-II, two DExD/H-box helicases that perform different functions, the authors show that these RNA helicases can remove bound protein from RNA, independent of rearrangement of RNA secondary structure. They also find that Ded1 cannot remove NPH-II's protein substrate, TRAP, from bound RNA, further suggesting that DExD/H-box helicases possess some level of functional selectivity.

43. Weirich C.S., Erzberger J.P., Berger J.M., and Weis K. The N-terminal domain of Nup159 forms a beta-propeller that functions in mRNA export by tethering the helicase Dbp5 to the nuclear pore. Mol Cell 16 (2004) 749-760. The authors show that the N-terminal region of Nup159, to which Dbp5 binds, is a seven-bladed β propeller, a structure also found in the metazoan ortholog, NUP214. They demonstrate that Dbp5 binds to blades 5-7. Point mutations that render this association temperature-sensitive result in reduced growth and a block to mRNA export, consistent with earlier findings with a Nup159 mutant lacking its N-terminal third.
