Title:RC3H1 post-transcriptionally regulates A20 mRNA and modulates the activity of the IKK/NF-κB pathway
Creators Name:Murakawa, Y. and Hinz, M. and Mothes, J. and Schuetz, A. and Uhl, M. and Wyler, E. and Yasuda, T. and Mastrobuoni, G. and Friedel, C.C. and Dölken, L. and Kempa, S. and Schmidt-Supprian, M. and Blüthgen, N. and Backofen, R. and Heinemann, U. and Wolf, J. and Scheidereit, C. and Landthaler, M.
Abstract:The RNA-binding protein RC3H1 (also known as ROQUIN) promotes TNFα mRNA decay via a 3'UTR constitutive decay element (CDE). Here we applied PAR-CLIP to human RC3H1 to identify ~3,800 mRNA targets with >16,000 binding sites. A large number of sites are distinct from the consensus CDE and revealed a structure-sequence motif with U-rich sequences embedded in hairpins. RC3H1 binds preferentially short-lived and DNA damage-induced mRNAs, indicating a role of this RNA-binding protein in the post-transcriptional regulation of the DNA damage response. Intriguingly, RC3H1 affects expression of the NF-κB pathway regulators such as IκBα and A20. RC3H1 uses ROQ and Zn-finger domains to contact a binding site in the A20 3'UTR, demonstrating a not yet recognized mode of RC3H1 binding. Knockdown of RC3H1 resulted in increased A20 protein expression, thereby interfering with IκB kinase and NF-κB activities, demonstrating that RC3H1 can modulate the activity of the IKK/NF-κB pathway.
