An in vitro system that recapitulates the in vivo effect of AU-rich
elements (AREs) on mRNA deadenylation has been developed from
Xenopus activated egg extracts. ARE-mediated deadenylation is
uncoupled from mRNA body decay, and the rate of deadenylation increases
with the number of tandem AUUUAs. A novel ARE-binding protein called
ePAB (for embryonic
poly(A)-binding protein) has been
purified from this extract by ARE affinity selection. ePAB exhibits
72% identity to mammalian and Xenopus PABP1 and is the predominant poly(A)-binding protein expressed in the stage VI oocyte
and during Xenopus early development. Immunodepletion of ePAB
increases the rate of both ARE-mediated and default deadenylation in
vitro. In contrast, addition of even a small excess of ePAB inhibits
deadenylation, demonstrating that the ePAB concentration is critical
for determining the rate of ARE-mediated deadenylation. These data
argue that ePAB is the poly(A)-binding protein responsible for
stabilization of poly(A) tails and is thus a potential regulator of
mRNA deadenylation and translation during early development.
