This work reports the involvement of yeast RNA processing factors Pta1 and Pcf11 in alternative 3'-end RNA processing. The pta1-1 and pcf11-2 mutations changed the predominance of KlCYC1 1.14 and 1.5 kb transcript isoforms. Mutation of the KlCYC1 3'-UTR AU-rich sequence at positions 679-690 (mutant M1) altered transcript predominance. Moreover, expression of M1 in the yeast mutants partially suppressed their effects in the predominance pattern. The combination of the M1 and M2 (694-698 deletion) mutations abolished the alternative processing. Pta1 involvement in this selection was confirmed using the Pta1-td degron strain.
这项工作报道了酵母RNA加工因子Pta1和Pcf11参与3'端RNA的可变加工。pta1-1和pcf11-2突变改变了KlCYC1 1.14 kb和1.5 kb转录本亚型的优势地位。KlCYC1 3'-UTR中679 - 690位富含AU的序列发生突变(突变体M1)改变了转录本的优势地位。此外,M1在酵母突变体中的表达部分抑制了它们在优势模式中的作用。M1和M2(694 - 698缺失)突变的组合消除了可变加工。使用Pta1-td降解子菌株证实了Pta1参与了这种选择。
