RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 IRAK1-dependent Regnase-1-14-3-3 complex formation controls Regnase-1-mediated mRNA decay JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 2021.07.15.452458 DO 10.1101/2021.07.15.452458 A1 Kotaro Akaki A1 Kosuke Ogata A1 Yuhei Yamauchi A1 Noriki Iwai A1 Ka Man Tse A1 Fabian Hia A1 Atsushi Mochizuki A1 Yasushi Ishihama A1 Takashi Mino A1 Osamu Takeuchi YR 2021 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2021/07/15/2021.07.15.452458.abstract AB Regnase-1 is an endoribonuclease crucial for controlling inflammation by degrading mRNAs encoding cytokines and inflammatory mediators in mammals. However, it is unclear how Regnase-1-mediated mRNA decay is controlled in interleukin (IL)-1β or Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand-stimulated cells. Here, by analyzing the Regnase-1 interactome, we found that IL-1β or TLR stimulus dynamically induced the formation of Regnase-1-β-transducin repeat-containing protein (βTRCP) complex. Importantly, we also uncovered a novel interaction between Regnase-1 and 14-3-3 in both mouse and human cells. Strikingly, both interactions occur in a mutually exclusive manner, underscoring the importance of modulating Regnase-1’s activity. Additionally, we show that in IL-1R/TLR-stimulated cells, the Regnase-1-14-3-3 interaction is mediated by IRAK1 through a previously uncharacterized C-terminal structural domain. Phosphorylation of Regnase-1 at S494 and S513 is critical for Regnase-1-14-3-3 interaction, while a different set of phosphorylation sites of Regnase-1 are known to be required for the recognition by βTRCP and proteasome-mediated degradation. 14-3-3 stabilizes Regnase-1 but abolishes its activity by inhibiting Regnase-1-mRNA association. Furthermore, nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of Regnase-1 is abrogated by 14-3-3 interaction. Taken together, the results suggest that a novel inflammation-induced interaction of 14-3-3 with Regnase-1 stabilizes inflammatory mRNAs by sequestering Regnase-1 in the cytoplasm to prevent mRNA recognition.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
