Abstract

Micro-RNA mediated suppression of mRNA translation represents a major regulatory mode of post-transcriptional gene expression. Recently, the nucleoporin Nup358 was shown to interact with AGO protein, a key component of miRNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC), and facilitate the coupling of miRISC with target mRNA. Previous results suggested that SUMO-interacting motifs (SIMs) present on Nup358 mediate interaction with AGO protein. Here we show that Nup358-SIM has multiple interacting regions on AGO2, specifically within the N, PAZ and MID domains, with an affinity comparable to SIM-SUMO1 interaction. The study also unraveled specific residues involved in the interaction of AGO2 with miRNA-loading components such as Dicer and HSP90. Collectively, the results support the conclusion that multiple SIMs contribute to the association of Nup358 with AGO2.
