A conserved mechanism of DEAD-box ATPase activation by nucleoporins and InsP6 in mRNA export
Ben Montpetit et al. Nature. 2011.
Abstract
Superfamily 1 and superfamily 2 RNA helicases are ubiquitous messenger-RNA-protein complex (mRNP) remodelling enzymes that have critical roles in all aspects of RNA metabolism. The superfamily 2 DEAD-box ATPase Dbp5 (human DDX19) functions in mRNA export and is thought to remodel mRNPs at the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Dbp5 is localized to the NPC via an interaction with Nup159 (NUP214 in vertebrates) and is locally activated there by Gle1 together with the small-molecule inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP(6)). Local activation of Dbp5 at the NPC by Gle1 is essential for mRNA export in vivo; however, the mechanistic role of Dbp5 in mRNP export is poorly understood and it is not known how Gle1(InsP6) and Nup159 regulate the activity of Dbp5. Here we report, from yeast, structures of Dbp5 in complex with Gle1(InsP6), Nup159/Gle1(InsP6) and RNA. These structures reveal that InsP(6) functions as a small-molecule tether for the Gle1-Dbp5 interaction. Surprisingly, the Gle1(InsP6)-Dbp5 complex is structurally similar to another DEAD-box ATPase complex essential for translation initiation, eIF4G-eIF4A, and we demonstrate that Gle1(InsP6) and eIF4G both activate their DEAD-box partner by stimulating RNA release. Furthermore, Gle1(InsP6) relieves Dbp5 autoregulation and cooperates with Nup159 in stabilizing an open Dbp5 intermediate that precludes RNA binding. These findings explain how Gle1(InsP6), Nup159 and Dbp5 collaborate in mRNA export and provide a general mechanism for DEAD-box ATPase regulation by Gle1/eIF4G-like activators.

Arrow highlights the movement of the CTD and catalytic arginine finger residues (sticks) among the three states (see colour key). For clarity, the Gle1-ADP intermediate is shown slightly transparent, and both the arginine finger side chains and ADP have been removed. d, Inhibition of the RNA stimulated ATPase activity of Dbp5 by Nup159 is overcome in the presence of Gle1. Error bars represent s.d. (n=3).
Figure 4. Model of the Dbp5 mechanochemical cycle
In the presence ATP, Dbp5 binds RNA causing local destabilization and remodelling of duplexed RNA or RNA-protein complexes (state I). ATP hydrolysis then allows the activator (Gle1) to bind both the C-terminal and N-terminal RecA-like domains, separating the two RecA-like domains and promoting RNA release (state II). For Dbp5 it is currently not known when Pi is released following hydrolysis, but this will likely occur prior to the formation of state II. Subsequent release of the bound RNA allows Nup159 to bind Dbp5 causing the two RecA domains to further separate (state III). The formation of this state could then facilitate ADP release, prevent rebinding of the RNA, and aid in enzyme recycling (state IV). Crystal structure model in state IV is PDB ID:3FHO.
