Popis: Regnase-1-mediated mRNA decay (RMD), in which inflammatory mRNAs harboring specific stem–loop structures are degraded, is a critical part of proper immune homeostasis. Prior to initial translation, Regnase-1 associates with target stem–loops but does not carry out endoribonucleolytic cleavage. Single molecule imaging revealed that UPF1 is required to first unwind the stem–loops, thus licensing Regnase-1 to proceed with RNA degradation. Following translation, Regnase-1 physically associates with UPF1 using two distinct points of interaction: The Regnase-1 RNase domain binds to SMG1-phosphorylated residue T28 in UPF1; in addition, an intrinsically disordered segment in Regnase-1 binds to the UPF1 RecA domain, enhancing the helicase activity of UPF1. The SMG1-UPF1–Regnase-1 axis targets pioneer rounds of translation and is critical for rapid resolution of inflammation through restriction of the number of proteins translated by a given mRNA. Furthermore, small-molecule inhibition of SMG1 prevents RNA unwinding in dendritic cells, allowing post-transcriptional control of innate immune responses.
