Importance of amino acids Leu135 and Tyr236 for the interaction between EhCFIm25 and RNA: a molecular dynamics simulation study.

Abstract:

:The CFIm25 subunit of the heterotetrameric cleavage factor Im (CFIm) is a critical factor in the formation of the poly(A) tail at mRNA 3' end, regulating the recruitment of polyadenylation factors, poly(A) site selection, and cleavage/polyadenylation reactions. We previously reported the homologous protein (EhCFIm25) in Entamoeba histolytica, the protozoan causing human amoebiasis, and showed the relevance of conserved Leu135 and Tyr236 residues for RNA binding. We also identified the GUUG sequence as the recognition site of EhCFIm25. To understand the interactions network that allows the EhCFIm25 to maintain its three-dimensional structure and function, here we performed molecular dynamics simulations of wild-type (WT) and mutant proteins, alone or interacting with the GUUG molecule. Our results indicated that in the presence of the GUUG sequence, WT converged more quickly to lower RMSD values in comparison with mutant proteins. However, RMSF values showed that movements of amino acids of WT and EhCFIm25*L135 T were almost identical, interacting or not with the GUUG molecule. Interestingly, EhCFIm25*L135 T, which is the only mutant with a slight RNA binding activity experimentally, presents the same stabilization of bend structures and alpha helices as WT, notably in the C-terminus. Moreover, WT and EhCFIm25*L135 T presented almost the same number of contacts that mainly involve lysine residues interacting with the G4 nucleotide. Overall, our data proposed a clear description of the structural and mechanistic data that govern the RNA binding capacity of EhCFIm25.
