Decapping and Decay of Messenger RNA Occur in Cytoplasmic Processing Bodies
Ujwal Sheth and
Roy Parker*
A major pathway of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) turnoverbegins with deadenylation, followed by decapping and 5' to 3'exonucleolytic decay. We provide evidence that mRNA decappingand 5' to 3' degradation occur in discrete cytoplasmic fociin yeast, which we call processing bodies (P bodies). First,proteins that activate or catalyze decapping are concentratedin P bodies. Second, inhibiting mRNA turnover before decappingleads to loss of P bodies; however, inhibiting turnover at,or after, decapping, increases the abundance and size of P bodies.Finally, mRNA degradation intermediates are localized to P bodies.These results define the fluxof mRNAs between polysomes andP bodies as a critical aspect of cytoplasmic mRNA metabolismand a possible site for regulation of mRNA degradation.
