Abstract
Nup145p is a component of the nuclear pore complex of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is essential for mRNA export. Nup145p and its apparent vertebrate homologue are the only known nucleoporins to be composed of two functionally independent peptide moieties resulting from the post-translational cleavage of a large precursor molecule. In this study, the proteolytic cleavage site of Nup145p has been mapped upstream of an evolutionary conserved serine residue. Cleavage occurs at the same site when a precursor is artificially expressed in Escherichia coli. A hydroxyl-containing residue is critical for the reaction, although a thiol-containing residue offers an acceptable replacement. In vitro kinetics experiments using a purified precursor molecule demonstrate that the cleavage is self-catalyzed and that the catalytic domain lies within the N-terminal moiety. Taken altogether, our data are consistent with a proteolytic mechanism involving an N>O acyl rearrangement and a subsequent ester intermediate uncovered in other self-processing proteins.
