Identification Of Nad(+) Capped Mrnas In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA(2017)
Abstract
RNAs besides tRNA and rRNA contain chemical modifications, including the recently described 5' nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) RNA in bacteria. Whether 5' NAD-RNA exists in eukaryotes remains unknown. We demonstrate that 5' NAD-RNA is found on subsets of nuclear and mitochondrial encoded mRNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. NAD-mRNA appears to be produced cotranscriptionally because NAD-RNA is also found on pre-mRNAs, and only on mitochondrial transcripts that are not 5' end processed. These results define an additional 5' RNA cap structure in eukaryotes and raise the possibility that this 5' NAD(+) cap could modulate RNA stability and translation on specific subclasses of mRNAs.
