The Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1 (NNS) complex terminates transcription of non-coding RNA genes and mediates degradation of the produced transcript by the nuclear exosome. The NNS complex also represses some stress response genes, by stimulating premature termination. A well-characterized stress response in yeast is flocculation, where cells aggregate to form flocs under expression of lectin-encoding genes designated as FLOs. In this study, we demonstrated the role of the NNS complex and Rrp6p in the expression of flocculation genes: FLO1, FLO5, FLO9, and FLO10. Furthermore, a deletion mutant of the RNA processing machinery (RNT1), and SEN1 mutants that are unable to interact with Rnt1p, exhibit a flocculation phenotype. In summary, we have identified a cooperative role of Rnt1p, Rrp6p and the NNS complex in the repression of FLO genes.
Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1(NNS)复合物可终止非编码RNA基因的转录,并通过核外泌体介导所产生转录本的降解。NNS复合物还通过刺激过早终止来抑制一些应激反应基因。酵母中一种特征明确的应激反应是絮凝,即细胞在称为FLOs的凝集素编码基因表达时聚集形成絮状物。在本研究中,我们证明了NNS复合物和Rrp6p在絮凝基因FLO1、FLO5、FLO9和FLO10表达中的作用。此外,RNA加工机制(RNT1)的缺失突变体以及无法与Rnt1p相互作用的SEN1突变体表现出絮凝表型。总之,我们确定了Rnt1p、Rrp6p和NNS复合物在抑制FLO基因中的协同作用。
