Nucleoporin TPR promotes tRNA nuclear export and protein synthesis in lung cancer cells

Abstract: The robust proliferation of cancer cells requires vastly elevated levels of protein synthesis, which relies on a steady supply of aminoacylated tRNAs. Delivery of tRNAs to the cytoplasm is a highly regulated process, but the machinery for tRNA nuclear export is not fully elucidated. In this study, using a live cell imaging strategy that visualizes nascent transcripts from a specific tRNA gene in yeast, we identified the nuclear basket proteins Mlp1 and Mlp2, two homologs of the human TPR protein, as regulators… Show more

“…Therefore, it appears that tRNA nuclear export and substrate preferences by Mex67-Mtr2 may be evolutionarily conserved. In contrast, studies in Xenopus oocytes ( 60 ) and human cancer cells ( 59 ) found no role for the Crm1 homologue, Xpo-1, in tRNA nuclear export. Another study identified budding yeast Dbp5, a member of the DEAD box family of proteins, to function in tRNA nuclear export, most probably by collaboration with Mex67 and/or Crm1 ( 61 ).…”

“…reported that the Trypanosomatid Mex67 homologue, TbMex67, is involved in the nuclear export of a subset of tRNAs bearing the queuosine modification at position 34 whereas TbMtr2 exported all tested tRNAs ( 33 ) and Chen et al. documented that the Mex67 homologue, NXF1, functions in tRNA nuclear export in human cells ( 59 ). Therefore, it appears that tRNA nuclear export and substrate preferences by Mex67-Mtr2 may be evolutionarily conserved.…”

“…It is also known that tRNA abundance can affect mRNA abundance, so that RNA overexpression in cancer can increase protein synthesis. 23 When the amount of tRNA is reduced, there is nothing to carry the mRNA out to the ribosomes, and accumulation occurs in the cell nucleus. Thus, it is possible that there is a relationship between the expression of CTLA-4 in the epithelial cell nucleus of Warthin's tumor with the presence of gene mutations and further research is needed on this matter.…”

“…The integrity of NE and correct nucleocytoplasmic transport are important for many cellular processes, including genome stability, DNA replication, DNA damage, DNA repair, and cell death (7). Notably, abnormal expression of nucleoporin has been reported to exert a critical impact on the progression of various cancers (8)(9)(10)(11). Nonetheless, the expression pattern and underlining mechanisms of NDC1 in HCC have been rarely known.…”
