Mechanistic narrative

Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

C1D (Rrp47) is a conserved nuclear protein that functions as an essential cofactor of the RNA exosome and participates in DNA damage signaling (PMID:17412707, PMID:9679063). Through its N-terminal Sas10/C1D domain it binds the PMC2NT domain of the exosome-associated exoribonuclease Rrp6 (PM/Scl-100), forming an intertwined heterodimer that reconfigures C1D from its isolated homodimeric state and creates a composite conserved surface groove recruiting the Mtr4 helicase to the exosome core (PMID:21135092, PMID:23580640, PMID:25319414). A principal role of C1D is to stabilize Rrp6: in its absence newly synthesized Rrp6 is reduced and unbound C1D is itself rapidly degraded by the proteasome (PMID:23580640, PMID:24224060). C1D binds structured RNAs and, together with PM/Scl-100 and MPP6, forms a stable trimeric complex required for 3' end processing of 5.8S rRNA and box C/D snoRNAs; its C-terminal region mediates interaction with snoRNP components Nop56/Nop58 and contributes to RNA binding (PMID:17412707, PMID:21135092). Independent of its RNA-processing role, C1D activates DNA-PK by binding the leucine zipper region of DNA-PKcs in a manner not requiring DNA termini, interacts with TRAX specifically after gamma-irradiation, and its yeast homolog is required for both NHEJ and homologous recombination (PMID:9679063, PMID:11801738, PMID:12421302). C1D also binds the condensin SMC4 hinge domain and accumulates on chromatin under replication stress (PMID:15148393), and its overexpression induces p53-dependent apoptosis that is held in check by proteasomal turnover (PMID:10362552, PMID:12379155).

2004 The S. pombe C1D homologue Cti1 physically interacts with the hinge domain of the condensin SMC subunit Cut3/SMC4, as shown by GST pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation. Overexpression of spC1D suppresses temperature, UV, and hydroxyurea sensitivity of a condensin non-SMC subunit (Cnd2) mutant, and upon HU treatment spC1D accumulates on nuclear chromatin.

2007 Human C1D co-localizes with exosome subunit PM/Scl-100 in the nucleoli of HEp-2 cells; its nucleolar accumulation is dependent on PM/Scl-100.

2013 Rrp47 (C1D yeast ortholog) is expressed as a non-globular homodimer in isolation but forms a heterodimer with Rrp6 upon interaction, indicating a structural reconfiguration. Both Rrp6 and Rrp47 localize to the yeast nucleus independently; Rrp6 uses nuclear import adaptor Srp1 while Rrp47 does not. In the absence of Rrp6, newly synthesized Rrp47 is rapidly degraded in a proteasome-dependent manner.

2013 Rrp47 (C1D yeast ortholog) is required to maintain appropriate Rrp6 expression levels; in rrp47∆ mutants grown in minimal medium, Rrp6 is substantially reduced at both transcript and protein levels. Exogenous Rrp6 expression suppresses most but not all RNA processing defects of rrp47∆, demonstrating that a principal function of Rrp47 is to stabilize Rrp6.

2014 Rrp47 (C1D yeast ortholog) N-terminal domain and Rrp6 N-terminal domain form a highly intertwined structural unit (crystallographic analysis); together they create a composite conserved surface groove that recruits the N-terminus of the Mtr4 helicase. Binding of Mtr4 to the exosome core (Exo-10) in vitro requires both Rrp6 and Rrp47; mutation of conserved interface residues in Rrp6 and Mtr4 disrupts their interaction and impairs yeast growth.
