    Abstract The CCR4 and CAF1 deadenylases physically interact to form the CCR4-CAF1 complex and function as the catalytic core of the larger CCR4-NOT complex. Together, they are responsible for the eventual removal of the 3'-poly(A) tail from essentially all cellular mRNAs and consequently play a central role in the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. The individual properties of CCR4 and CAF1, however, and their respective contributions in different organisms and cellular environments are incompletely understood. Here, we determined the crystal structure of a human CCR4-CAF1 complex and characterized its enzymatic and substrate recognition properties. The structure reveals specific molecular details affecting RNA binding and hydrolysis, and confirms the CCR4 nuclease domain to be tethered flexibly with a considerable distance between both enzyme active sites. CCR4 and CAF1 sense nucleotide identity on both sides of the 3'-terminal phosphate, efficiently differentiating between single and consecutive non-A residues. In comparison to CCR4, CAF1 emerges as a surprisingly tunable enzyme, highly sensitive to pH, magnesium and zinc ions, and possibly allowing distinct reaction geometries. Our results support a picture of CAF1 as a primordial deadenylase, which gets assisted by CCR4 for better efficiency and by the assembled NOT proteins for selective mRNA targeting and regulation.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, ~22-nucleotide-long noncoding RNAs. They silence the expression of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) containing complementary sequences (1). The human genome encodes ~1500 miRNAs, each with the potential to bind hundreds of different mRNAs (1). miRNAs regulate many biological processes, and the dysregulation of their expression is linked to various human diseases, including cancer (1). To exert their repressive function, miRNAs associate with the Argonaute family of proteins (AGOs) to form the core of miRNA-induced silencing complexes (miRISCs) (1) (see the figure). In animals, miRISCs silence mRNA expression at two levels, by preventing protein production (translation) and inducing mRNA degradation. Over the past decade, progress has been made in our understanding of the mechanism by which miRISCs induce mRNA degradation, but the question of how miRISCs repress translation remains elusive.

    Abstract Human 4E-T is an eIF4E-binding protein (4E-BP) present in processing (P)-bodies that represses translation and regulates decay of mRNAs destabilized by AU-rich elements and microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we show that upon mRNA binding 4E-T represses translation and promotes deadenylation via the recruitment of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex. The interaction with CCR4-NOT is mediated by previously uncharacterized sites in the middle region of 4E-T. Importantly, mRNA decapping and decay are inhibited by 4E-T and the deadenylated target is stored in a repressed form. Inhibition of mRNA decapping requires the interaction of 4E-T with the cap-binding proteins eIF4E/4EHP. We further show that regulation of decapping by 4E-T participates in mRNA repression by the miRNA effector protein TNRC6B and that 4E-T overexpression interferes with tristetraprolin (TTP)- and NOT1-mediated mRNA decay. Thus, we postulate that 4E-T modulates 5'-to-3' decay by swapping the fate of a deadenylated mRNA from complete degradation to storage. Our results provide insight into the mechanism of mRNA storage that controls localized translation and mRNA stability in P-bodies.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a conserved class of small non-coding RNAs that assemble with Argonaute proteins into miRNA-induced silencing complexes (miRISCs) to direct post-transcriptional silencing of complementary mRNA targets. Silencing is accomplished through a combination of translational repression and mRNA destabilization, with the latter contributing to most of the steady-state repression in animal cell cultures. Degradation of the mRNA target is initiated by deadenylation, which is followed by decapping and 5'-to-3' exonucleolytic decay. Recent work has enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms of silencing, making it possible to describe in molecular terms a continuum of direct interactions from miRNA target recognition to mRNA deadenylation, decapping and 5'-to-3' degradation. Furthermore, an intricate interplay between translational repression and mRNA degradation is emerging.

    Abstract The CCR4-NOT complex plays a central role in the regulation of gene expression and degradation of messenger RNAs. The multisubunit complex assembles on the NOT1 protein, which acts as a 'scaffold' and is highly conserved in eukaryotes. NOT1 consists of a series of helical domains that serve as docking sites for other CCR4-NOT subunits. We describe a crystal structure of a connector domain of NOT1 from the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum (Ct). Comparative structural analysis indicates that this domain adopts a MIF4G-like fold and we have termed it the MIF4G-C domain. Solution scattering studies indicate that the human MIF4G-C domain likely adopts a very similar fold to the Ct MIF4G-C. MIF4G domains have been described to mediate interactions with DEAD-box helicases such as DDX6. However, comparison of the interfaces of the MIF4G-C with the MIF4G domain of NOT1 that interacts with DDX6 reveals key structural differences that explain why the MIF4G-C does not bind DDX6. We further show that the human MIF4G-C does not interact stably with other subunits of the CCR4-NOT complex. The structural conservation of the MIF4G-C domain suggests that it may have an important but presently undefined role in the CCR4-NOT complex.
