Messenger RNA export factors are recruited to genes in a transcription-dependent manner. To ascertain the mechanism of this process, we show that RNA polymerase II transcription is sufficient to recruit the Saccharomyces cerevisiae hnRNP protein Npl3 to a gene independent of RNA sequence. In contrast, the cotranscriptional recruitment of the RNA-binding protein Yra1 is dependent on pre-mRNA processing. Yra1 associates with introns of intron-containing genes in a splicing-dependent manner. Conversely, Yra1 recruitment to genes without introns is not dependent on splicing. Finally, 3'-end formation is required for Yra1 recruitment to genes regardless of intron status.
信使核糖核酸(mRNA)输出因子以转录依赖的方式被招募到基因上。为了确定这一过程的机制,我们发现RNA聚合酶II转录足以将酿酒酵母的异质性核糖核蛋白(hnRNP)Npl3蛋白招募到一个与RNA序列无关的基因上。相比之下,RNA结合蛋白Yra1的共转录招募依赖于前体mRNA加工。Yra1以剪接依赖的方式与含内含子基因的内含子结合。相反,Yra1被招募到无内含子基因上则不依赖于剪接。最后,无论内含子状态如何,Yra1被招募到基因上都需要3'端形成。
