Proteome-Level Analysis Indicates Global Mechanisms for Post-Translational Regulation of RRM Domains
2018
Sloutsky, Roman | Naegle, Kristen M.
RRM, or RNA-recognition motif, domains are the largest class of single-stranded RNA binding domains in the human proteome and play important roles in RNA processing, splicing, export, stability, packaging, and degradation. Using a current database of post-translational modifications (PTMs), ProteomeScout, we found that RRM domains are also one of the most heavily modified domains in the human proteome. Here, we present two interesting findings about RRM domain modifications, found by mapping known PTMs onto RRM domain alignments and structures. First, we find significant overlap of ubiquitination and acetylation within RRM domains, suggesting the possibility for ubiquitination-acetylation crosstalk. Additionally, an analysis of quantitative study of ubiquitination changes in response to proteasome inhibition highlights the uniqueness of RRM domain ubiquitination – RRM domain ubiquitination decreases in response to proteasome inhibition, whereas the majority of sites increase. Second, we found conservation of tyrosine phosphorylation within the RNP1 and RNP2 consensus sequences, which coordinate RNA binding – suggesting a possible role for regulation of RNA binding by tyrosine kinase signaling. These observations suggest there are unique regulatory mechanisms of RRM function that have yet to be uncovered and that the RRM domain represents a model system for further studies on understanding PTM crosstalk.
