RNA14 and RNA15 were originally identified by temperature-sensitive mutations that cause a rapid decrease in poly(A)-tail length and overall mRNA levels at the restrictive temperature. We have raised antibodies to the RNA14 and RNA15 proteins, and used subcellular fractionation and immunofluorescence to localize these proteins within the yeast cell. RNA14p is a 73 kDa protein found in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm, whilst RNA15p is a 42 kDa protein detected only in the nucleus. The observation that both proteins are found in the nucleus is in agreement with previous genetic data which suggest an interaction between RNA14p and RNA15p. Also the joint nuclear localization is consistent with the biochemical data suggesting a role in polyadenylation. The detection of significant amounts of RNA14p in the cytoplasm opens the possibility of a second function for this protein, either in cytoplasmic regulation of mRNA deadenylation or, more interestingly, in mRNA stability. |
