    Abstract The fungal cell wall provides protection and structure and is an important target for antifungal compounds. A mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade termed the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway regulates transcriptional responses to cell wall damage. Here, we describe a posttranscriptional pathway that plays an important complementary role. We report that the RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) Mrn1 and Nab6 specifically target the 3' UTRs of a largely overlapping set of cell wall-related mRNAs. These mRNAs are downregulated in the absence of Nab6, indicating a function in target mRNA stabilization. Nab6 acts in parallel to CWI signaling to maintain appropriate expression of cell wall genes during stress. Cells lacking both pathways are hypersensitive to antifungal compounds targeting the cell wall. Deletion of MRN1 partially alleviates growth defects associated with Δnab6, and Mrn1 has an opposing function in mRNA destabilization. Our results uncover a posttranscriptional pathway that mediates cellular resistance to antifungal compounds.

    Abstract In this issue of Molecular Cell, Webster et al. (2018) and Yi et al. (2018) dissect the mechanisms underlying cytoplasmic mRNA deadenylation by the Ccr4-Not (CNOT) complex. Crucial to this process is the poly(A) binding protein Pab1/PABPC1, which both stimulates and suppresses the activity of different deadenylases.

    Abstract Eukaryotic cells synthesize enormous quantities of RNA from diverse classes, most of which are subject to extensive processing. These processes are inherently error-prone, and cells have evolved robust quality control mechanisms to selectively remove aberrant transcripts. These surveillance pathways monitor all aspects of nuclear RNA biogenesis, and in addition remove nonfunctional transcripts arising from spurious transcription and a host of non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Surprisingly, this is largely accomplished with only a handful of RNA decay enzymes. It has, therefore, been unclear how these factors efficiently distinguish between functional RNAs and huge numbers of diverse transcripts that must be degraded. Here we describe how bona fide transcripts are specifically protected, particularly by 5' and 3' modifications. Conversely, a plethora of factors associated with the nascent transcripts all act to recruit the RNA quality control, surveillance and degradation machinery. We conclude that initiating RNAPII is 'surveillance ready', with degradation being a default fate for all transcripts that lack specific protective features. We further postulate that this promiscuity is a key feature that allowed the proliferation of vast numbers of ncRNAs in eukaryotes, including humans.

    Abstract Cellular responses to environmental stress are frequently mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Here, we examined global RBP dynamics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in response to glucose starvation and heat shock. Each stress induced rapid remodeling of the RNA-protein interactome without corresponding changes in RBP abundance. Consistent with general translation shutdown, ribosomal proteins contacting the mRNA showed decreased RNA association. Among translation components, RNA association was most reduced for initiation factors involved in 40S scanning (eukaryotic initiation factor 4A [eIF4A], eIF4B, and Ded1), indicating a common mechanism of translational repression. In unstressed cells, eIF4A, eIF4B, and Ded1 primarily targeted the 5′ ends of mRNAs. Following glucose withdrawal, 5′ binding was abolished within 30 s, explaining the rapid translation shutdown, but mRNAs remained stable. Heat shock induced progressive loss of 5′ RNA binding by initiation factors over ∼16 min and provoked mRNA degradation, particularly for translation-related factors, mediated by Xrn1. Taken together, these results reveal mechanisms underlying translational control of gene expression during stress.

    Abstract In budding yeast, the nuclear RNA surveillance system is active on all pre-mRNA transcripts and modulated by nutrient availability. To test the role of nuclear surveillance in reprogramming gene expression, we identified transcriptome-wide binding sites for RNA polymerase II and the exosome cofactors Mtr4 (TRAMP complex) and Nab3 (NNS complex) by UV crosslinking immediately following glucose withdrawal (0, 4, and 8 min). In glucose, mRNA binding by Nab3 and Mtr4 was mainly restricted to promoter-proximal sites, reflecting early transcription termination. Following glucose withdrawal, many growth-related mRNAs showed reduced transcription but increased Nab3 binding, accompanied by downstream recruitment of Mtr4, and oligo(A) tailing. We conclude that transcription termination is followed by TRAMP-mediated RNA decay. Upregulated transcripts evaded increased surveillance factor binding following glucose withdrawal. Some upregulated genes showed use of alternative transcription starts to bypass strong NNS binding sites. We conclude that nuclear surveillance pathways regulate both positive and negative responses to glucose availability.
