The SRP9/SRP14 heterodimer is a central component of signal recognition particle (SRP) RNA (7SL) processing and Alu retrotransposition. In this study, we sought to establish the role of nuclear SRP9/SRP14 in the transcriptional regulation of 7SL and BC200 RNA. 7SL and BC200 RNA steady-state levels, rate of decay, and transcriptional activity were evaluated under SRP9/SRP14 knockdown conditions. Immunofluorescent imaging, and subcellular fractionation of MCF-7 cells, revealed a distinct nuclear localization for SRP9/SRP14. The relationship between this localization and transcriptional activity at 7SL and BC200 genes was also examined. These findings demonstrate a novel nuclear function of SRP9/SRP14 establishing that this heterodimer transcriptionally regulates 7SL and BC200 RNA expression. We describe a model in which SRP9/SRP14 cotranscriptionally regulate 7SL and BC200 RNA expression. Our model is also a plausible pathway for regulating Alu RNA transcription and is consistent with the hypothesized roles of SRP9/SRP14 transporting 7SL RNA into the nucleolus for posttranscriptional processing, and trafficking of Alu RNA for retrotransposition.

RNA polymerase III synthesizes a wide range of noncoding RNAs shorter than 400 nucleotides in length. These RNAs are involved in protein synthesis (tRNA, 5S rRNA, and 7SL RNA), maturation, and splicing of different types of RNA (RPR, MRP RNA, and U6 snRNA), regulation of transcription (7SK RNA), replication (Y RNA), and intracellular transport (vault RNA). BC200 and BC1 RNA genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase III in neurons only where these RNAs regulate protein synthesis.

The RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcriptome is universally comprised of short, highly structured noncoding RNA (ncRNA). Through RNA-protein interactions, the Pol III transcriptome actuates functional activities ranging from nuclear gene regulation (7SK), splicing (U6, U6atac), and RNA maturation and stability (RMRP, RPPH1, Y RNA), to cytoplasmic protein targeting (7SL) and translation (tRNA, 5S rRNA). In higher eukaryotes, the Pol III transcriptome has expanded to include additional, recently evolved ncRNA species that effectively broaden the footprint of Pol III transcription to additional cellular activities.

Using genetic inactivation in the mouse, PURA, encoding Pur alpha, is demonstrated to be essential for developmentally-timed dendrite formation in the cerebellum and hippocampus. Comparison of RNA species bound by Pur alpha prompts the hypothesis that Pur alpha functions with non-coding RNA in transport of certain mRNA molecules to sites of translation in dendrites. Pur alpha binds to human BC200 RNA, implicated in dendritic targeting, and this has homologies to 7SL RNA, implicated in compartmentalized translation.

BC200 RNA is a brain-specific, small non-messenger RNA with a somatodendritic localization in primate neurons and a constituent of a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. The primary and secondary structure of the 5' domain of BC200 RNA resembles that of the Alu domain of 7SL RNA, which is an integral part of the signal recognition particle (SRP). This would predict that similar proteins bind to this defined domain of both RNA species in vitro and in vivo.
