Interaction of ZPR1 with translation elongation factor-1alpha in proliferating cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The zinc finger protein ZPR1 is present in the cytoplasm of quiescent mammalian cells and translocates to the nucleus upon treatment with mitogens, including epidermal growth factor (EGF). Homologues of ZPR1 were identified in yeast and mammals. These ZPR1 proteins bind to eukaryotic translation elongation factor-1 a (eEF-1 a ). Studies of mammalian cells demonstrated that EGF treatment induces the interaction of ZPR1 with eEF-1 a and the redistribution of both proteins to the nucleus. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae , genetic analysis demonstrated that ZPR1 is an essential gene. Deletion analysis demonstrated that the NH 2 -terminal region of ZPR1 is required for normal growth and that the COOH-terminal region was essential for viability in S . cerevisiae . The yeast ZPR1 protein redistributes from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in response to nutrient stimulation. Disruption of the binding of ZPR1 to eEF-1 a by mutational analysis resulted in an accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase of cell cycle and defective growth. Reconstitution of the ZPR1 interaction with eEF-1 a restored normal growth. We conclude that ZPR1 is essential for cell viability and that its interaction with eEF-1 a contributes to normal cellular proliferation.

متن کاملStructural insights into the interaction of the evolutionarily conserved ZPR1 domain tandem with eukaryotic EF1A, receptors, and SMN complexes.
Eukaryotic genomes encode a zinc finger protein (ZPR1) with tandem ZPR1 domains. In response to growth stimuli, ZPR1 assembles into complexes with eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) and the survival motor neurons protein. To gain insight into the structural mechanisms underlying the essential function of ZPR1 in diverse organisms, we determined the crystal structure of a ZPR1 d...
متن کاملThe cytoplasmic zinc finger protein ZPR1 accumulates in the nucleolus of proliferating cells.
The zinc finger protein ZPR1 translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus after treatment of cells with mitogens. The function of nuclear ZPR1 has not been defined. Here we demonstrate that ZPR1 accumulates in the nucleolus of proliferating cells. The role of ZPR1 was examined using a gene disruption strategy. Cells lacking ZPR1 are not viable. Biochemical analysis demonstrated that the loss ...
متن کاملF-actin sequesters elongation factor 1alpha from interaction with aminoacyl-tRNA in a pH-dependent reaction
The machinery of eukaryotic protein synthesis is found in association with the actin cytoskeleton. A major component of this translational apparatus, which is involved in the shuttling of aa-tRNA, is the actin-binding protein elongation factor 1alpha (EF-1alpha). To investigate the consequences for translation of the interaction of EF-1alpha with F-actin, we have studied the effect of F-actin o...
متن کاملA class of eukaryotic GTPase with a punctate distribution suggesting multiple functional replacements of translation elongation factor 1alpha.
Translation elongation factor 1alpha (EF-1alpha, or EF-Tu in bacteria) is a highly conserved core component of the translation machinery that is shared by all cellular life. It is part of a large superfamily of GTPases that are involved in translation initiation, elongation, and termination, as well as several other cellular functions. Eukaryotic EF-1alpha (eEF-1alpha) is well studied and widel...
