The yeast POP2 protein (Pop2p) is a component of a global transcription regulatory complex and is required for gene expression of many genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We constructed POP2 deletion plasmids encoding various Pop2p regions under the native POP2 promoter and found that the minimum functional region was located in two-thirds of the carboxyl terminal region. A mouse homologue of the POP2 gene (mCAF1), which corresponds to the Pop2p minimum region, partially rescued the growth defect of pop2 null mutant cells. Addition of the Pop2p amino terminal region to mCAF1 strengthened the suppression. mCAF1 also weakly suppressed the relatively high expression of the SUC2 gene of pop2 cells under glucose-repressing conditions; however, it failed to suppress the defect of full expression of the SUC2 gene under glucose-derepressing conditions. Our findings clearly demonstrate that a mammalian homologue can substitute for the yeast POP2 gene in some aspect.

The effector PieF modulates mRNA stability through association with eukaryotic CCR4-NOT.

Unlabelled: The eukaryotic CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex is a highly conserved regulator of mRNA metabolism that influences the expression of the complete transcriptome, representing a prime target for a generalist bacterial pathogen. We show that a translocated bacterial effector protein, PieF (Lpg1972) of , directly interacts with the CNOT7/8 nuclease module of CCR4-NOT, with a dissociation constant in the low nanomolar range. PieF is a robust inhibitor of the DEDD-type nuclease, CNOT7, acting in a stoichiometric, dose-dependent manner.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the homotrimeric eukaryotic sliding clamp protein, recruits and coordinates the activities of a multitude of proteins that function on DNA at the replication fork. Chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1), one such protein, is a histone chaperone that deposits histone proteins onto DNA immediately following replication. The interaction between CAF-1 and PCNA is essential for proper nucleosome assembly at silenced genomic regions.

Puf3p regulates the stability of nuclear-encoded mRNAs acting in mitochondrial biogenesis and function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work identifies the phosphorylation of Pop2p, a component of the deadenylase complex, as being critical for adapting Puf3p-mediated mRNA decay upon carbon source alterations. We demonstrate that the Puf3p-Pop2p association diminishes in mitochondria-reliant conditions and establish Yak1p, a kinase that phosphorylates Pop2p at threonine 97, as a new player in Puf3p-mediated regulation of mRNA decay.

Macroautophagy/autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process by which cytoplasmic constituents are delivered to the vacuole/lysosome for degradation and recycling. To maintain cellular homeostasis and prevent pathologies, the induction and amplitude of autophagy activity are finely controlled through regulation of gene expression. Here we report that the Ccr4-Not complex in has bidirectional roles in regulating autophagy before and after nutrient deprivation.

CCR4 and POP2 genes encode the catalytic subunit of the Ccr4-Not complex involved in shortening mRNA poly(A) tail in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The ccr4Δ and pop2∆ mutants exhibit pleiotropic phenotypes such as slow and temperature-sensitive growth, aberrant expression of glucose repression genes and abnormal cell wall synthesis. We previously found that the growth defect of the ccr4Δ and pop2∆ mutants is suppressed by deletion of the PBP1 gene, which encodes poly(A)-binding protein (Pab1)-binding protein 1.
