hnRNP F was identified in a screen for proteins that interact with human CBP80 and CBP20, the components of the nuclear cap-binding complex (CBC). In vitro interaction studies showed that hnRNP F can bind to both CBP20 and CBP80 individually. hnRNP F and CBC bind independently to RNA, but hnRNP F binds preferentially to CBC-RNA complexes rather than to naked RNA. The hnRNP H protein, which is 78% identical to hnRNP F and also interacts with both CBP80 and CBP20 in vitro, does not discriminate between naked RNA and CBC-RNA complexes, showing that this effect is specific. Depletion of hnRNP F from HeLa cell nuclear extract decreases the efficiency of pre-mRNA splicing, a defect which can be partially compensated by addition of recombinant hnRNP F. Thus, hnRNP F is required for efficient pre-mRNA splicing in vitro and may participate in the effect of CBC on pre-mRNA splicing.
在一项针对与人类CBP80和CBP20(核帽结合复合体(CBC)的组成成分)相互作用的蛋白质的筛选中,鉴定出了hnRNP F。体外相互作用研究表明,hnRNP F可分别与CBP20和CBP80结合。hnRNP F和CBC独立结合RNA,但hnRNP F优先结合CBC-RNA复合体而非裸露的RNA。hnRNP H蛋白与hnRNP F有78%的同源性,并且在体外也与CBP80和CBP20相互作用,但其对裸露RNA和CBC-RNA复合体并无区分,表明这种效应具有特异性。从HeLa细胞核提取物中去除hnRNP F会降低前体mRNA剪接的效率,添加重组hnRNP F可部分弥补这一缺陷。因此,hnRNP F是体外高效前体mRNA剪接所必需的,并且可能参与了CBC对前体mRNA剪接的影响。
