title: Pbp1 is involved in Ccr4- and Khd1-mediated regulation of cell growth through association with ribosomal proteins Rpl12a and Rpl12b.
abstract: The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pbp1 [poly(A)-binding protein (Pab1)-binding protein] is believed to be involved in RNA metabolism and regulation of translation, since Pbp1 regulates a length of poly(A) tail and is involved in stress granule (SG) formation. However, a physiological function of Pbp1 remains unclear, since the pbp1Δ mutation has no obvious effect on cell growth. In this study, we showed that PBP1 genetically interacts with CCR4 and KHD1, which encode a cytoplasmic deadenylase and an RNA-binding protein, respectively. Ccr4 and Khd1 modulate a signal from Rho1 in the cell wall integrity pathway by regulating the expression of RhoGEF and RhoGAP, and the double deletion of CCR4 and KHD1 confers a severe growth defect displaying cell lysis. We found that the pbp1Δ mutation suppressed the growth defect caused by the ccr4Δ khd1Δ mutation. The pbp1Δ mutation also suppressed the growth defect caused by double deletion of POP2, encoding another cytoplasmic deadenylase, and KHD1. Deletion of the gene encoding previously known Pbp1-interacting factor Lsm12, Pbp4, or Mkt1 did not suppress the growth defect of the ccr4Δ khd1Δ mutant, suggesting that Pbp1 acts independently of these factors in this process. We then screened novel Pbp1-interacting factors and found that Pbp1 interacts with ribosomal proteins Rpl12a and Rpl12b. Similarly to the pbp1Δ mutation, the rpl12aΔ and rpl12bΔ mutations also suppressed the growth defect caused by the ccr4Δ khd1Δ mutation. Our results suggest that Pbp1 is involved in the Ccr4- and Khd1-mediated regulation of cell growth through the association with Rpl12a and Rpl12b.
