- U7 snRNA is a 60 nucleotide component of U7 snRNP, a multisubunit endonuclease that cleaves precursors of metazoan replication-dependent histone mRNAs at the 3' end, hence generating mature histone mRNAs. The Sm site in U7 snRNA differs from the Sm site in spliceosomal snRNAs and promotes the assembly of a unique Sm ring containing Lsm10 and Lsm11 instead of the spliceosomal SmD1 and SmD2 proteins. While the spliceosomal-type Sm site is recognized by Gemin5, a subunit of the SMN complex, the identity of the protein that recognizes the unusual Sm site of U7 snRNA resulting in the incorporation of Lsm10 and Lsm11 has not been determined. Here, we looked for proteins in mammalian extracts that interact with U7 snRNA and identified polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1) and insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) as two major proteins with this characteristic. The binding of PTBP1 and IGF2BP3 to U7 snRNA depends on its unique Sm site and on the upstream CUCUUU motif that base-pairs with histone pre-mRNAs and defines substrate specificity of U7 snRNP. Among proteins that bind U7 snRNA, we also identified hnRNP A1. We show that hnRNP A1 interacts with the SMN protein of the SMN complex, a likely prerequisite for the protein that substitutes for Gemin5 in the assembly of U7-specific Sm ring. Our results also suggest a mechanism that explains why Gemin5 does not bind the Sm site of U7 snRNA. - Source: PubMed

Yang Xiao-CuiDominski Zbigniew - U7 snRNP is a multisubunit endonuclease required for 3' end processing of metazoan replication-dependent histone pre-mRNAs. In contrast to the spliceosomal snRNPs, U7 snRNP lacks the Sm subunits D1 and D2 and instead contains two related proteins, Lsm10 and Lsm11. The remaining five subunits of the U7 heptameric Sm ring, SmE, F, G, B, and D3, are shared with the spliceosomal snRNPs. The pathway that assembles the unique ring of U7 snRNP is unknown. Here, we show that a heterodimer of Lsm10 and Lsm11 tightly interacts with the methylosome, a complex of the arginine methyltransferase PRMT5, MEP50, and pICln known to methylate arginines in the carboxy-terminal regions of the Sm proteins B, D1, and D3 during the spliceosomal Sm ring assembly. Both biochemical and cryo-EM structural studies demonstrate that the interaction is mediated by PRMT5, which binds and methylates two arginine residues in the amino-terminal region of Lsm11. Surprisingly, PRMT5 also methylates an amino-terminal arginine in SmE, a subunit that does not undergo this type of modification during the biogenesis of the spliceosomal snRNPs. An intriguing possibility is that the unique methylation pattern of Lsm11 and SmE plays a vital role in the assembly of the U7 snRNP. - Source: PubMed

Both biochemical and Cryo-EM structural studies demonstrate that the interaction is mediated by PRMT5, which binds and methylates two arginine residues in the N-terminal region of Lsm11. Surprisingly, PRMT5 also methylates an N-terminal arginine in SmE, a subunit that does not undergo this type of modification during the biogenesis of the spliceosomal snRNPs.

Yang Xiao-CuiDesotell AnthonyLin Min-HanPaige Andrew SMalinowska AgataSun YadongAik Wei ShenDadlez MichałTong LiangDominski Zbigniew - The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is an essential synapse whose loss is a key hallmark of the neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Here, we show that activity of the SMA-determining SMN protein in the assembly of U7 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)-which functions in the 3'-end processing of replication-dependent histone mRNAs-is required for NMJ integrity. Co-expression of U7-specific Lsm10 and Lsm11 proteins selectively enhances U7 snRNP assembly, corrects histone mRNA processing defects, and rescues key structural and functional abnormalities of neuromuscular pathology in SMA mice-including NMJ denervation, decreased synaptic transmission, and skeletal muscle atrophy. Furthermore, U7 snRNP dysfunction drives selective loss of the synaptic organizing protein Agrin at NMJs innervating vulnerable muscles of SMA mice. These findings reveal a direct contribution of U7 snRNP dysfunction to neuromuscular pathology in SMA and suggest a role for histone gene regulation in maintaining functional synaptic connections between motor neurons and muscles. - Source: PubMed
