    Abstract Rhesus lymphocryptovirus (rLCV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are closely related gammaherpesviruses that infect and cause disease in rhesus monkeys and humans, respectively. Thus, rLCV is an important model system for EBV pathogenesis. Both rLCV and EBV express microRNAs (miRNAs), several conserved in sequence and genomic location. We have applied deep sequencing technology to obtain an inventory of rLCV miRNA expression in latently rLCV-infected monkey B cells. Our data confirm the presence of all previously identified mature rLCV miRNAs and have resulted in the discovery of 21 new mature miRNAs arising from previously identified precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs), as well as two novel pre-miRNAs (rL1-34 and rL1-35) that together generate four new mature miRNAs. Thus, the total number of rLCV-encoded pre-miRNAs is 35 and the total number of rLCV mature miRNAs is 68, the most of any virus examined. The exact 5' and 3' ends of all mature rLCV miRNAs were pinpointed, many showing marked sequence and length heterogeneity that could modulate function. We further demonstrate that rLCV mature miRNAs associate with Argonaute proteins in rLCV-infected B cells.

    Abstract Tumor suppressor p53 is a well-characterized transcription factor that binds DNA. More enigmatic are the RNA-binding properties of p53 and their physiological relevance. We used three sensitive co-immunoprecipitation methods in an attempt to detect RNAs that tightly associate with p53 in cultured human cells. Although recombinant p53 protein binds RNA in a sequence-nonspecific mode, we do not detect specific in vivo RNA binding by p53. These results suggest that RNA binding is prevented by post-translational p53 modifications. A ribonucleoprotein (not p53) is purified by multiple IgG monoclonal antibodies (including anti-p53 antibodies) from both p53 +/+ and p53 null cells. Caution is therefore required in interpreting RNA co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Though not formally excluded, these results do not support models in which p53 binds specific RNA partners in vivo.

    Abstract The p53 tumor suppressor protein is typically considered to be a sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor. However, reports over the last 15 years have described RNA binding by p53 in a variety of contexts, suggesting the possibility of new p53 functions. It is clear that p53-RNA interactions are mediated by a nucleic acid-binding domain of p53 independent of the sequence-specific core domain responsible for DNA recognition. Reports disagree on several aspects of the putative RNA interaction, including sequence specificity and biological relevance. Here we review the history and recent advances in the study of p53-RNA interactions. We argue that p53-RNA interactions are sequence nonspecific and depend on incomplete post-translational modification of the p53 C-terminal domain when the protein is expressed in heterologous systems. It is unknown what fraction of p53 protein exists in a state competent for RNA binding in vivo. Thus, potential physiological roles of p53-RNA interactions remain mysterious.

    Abstract The tumor suppressor protein p53 is mutated in over half of human cancers. Despite 25 years of study, the complex regulation of this protein remains unclear. After serendipitously detecting RNA binding by p53 in the yeast three-hybrid system (Y3H), we are exploring the specificity and function of this interaction. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays show that full-length p53 binds equally to RNAs that are strongly distinguished in the Y3H. RNA binding blocks sequence-specific DNA binding by p53. The C-terminus of p53 is necessary and sufficient for strong RNA interaction in vitro. Mouse and human C-terminal p53 peptides have different affinities for RNA, and an acetylated human p53 C-terminal peptide does not bind RNA. Circular dichroism spectroscopy of p53 peptides shows that RNA binding does not induce a structural change in the p53 C-terminal peptide, and C-terminal peptides do not detectably affect the structure of RNA. These results demonstrate that p53 binds RNA with little sequence specificity, RNA binding has the potential to regulate DNA binding, and RNA-p53 interactions can be regulated by acetylation of the p53 C-terminus.

    Abstract The p53 tumor suppressor protein is a homotetrameric transcription factor whose gene is mutated in nearly half of all human cancers. In an unrelated screen of RNA/protein interactions using the yeast three-hybrid system, we inadvertently detected p53 interactions with several different RNAs. A literature review revealed previous reports of both sequence-specific and -non-specific interactions between p53 and RNA. Using yeast three-hybrid selections to identify preferred RNA partners for p53, we failed to identify primary RNA sequences or obvious secondary structures required for p53 binding. The cationic p53 C-terminus was shown to be required for RNA binding in yeast. We show that while p53 strongly discriminates between certain RNAs in the yeast three-hybrid assay, the same RNAs are bound equally by p53 in vitro. We further show that the p53 RNA-binding preferences in yeast are mirrored almost exactly by a recombinant tetrameric form of the HIV-1 nucleocapsid (NC) protein thought to be a sequence-nonspecific RNA-binding protein. However, the possibility of specific RNA binding by p53 could not be ruled out because p53 and HIV-1 NC displayed certain differences in RNA-binding preference. We conclude that (1) p53 binds RNA in vivo, (2) RNA binding by p53 is largely sequence-nonspecific in the yeast nucleus, (3) some structure-specific RNA binding by p53 cannot be ruled out, and (4) caution is required when interpreting results of RNA screens in the yeast three-hybrid system because sequence-dependent differences in RNA folding and display can masquerade as sequence-dependent differences in protein recognition.
