The alpha  and beta  Subunit of the Nascent Polypeptide-associated Complex Have Distinct Functions*

Birgitta BeatrixDagger , Hideaki Sakai§, and Martin WiedmannDagger

From the Dagger  Cellular Biochemistry and Biophysics Program, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York 10021 and the § Department of Pharmacology, School of Dentistry, Nagasaki University, 1-7-1 Sakamoto, Nagasaki 852, Japan

Nascent polypeptide-associated complex (NAC) is probably the first cytosolic protein to contact nascent polypeptide chains emerging from ribosomes. In this way NAC prevents inappropriate interactions with other factors. Eventually other factors involved in targeting and folding, like the Signal Recognition Particle or cytosolic chaperones, must gain access to the nascent chain. All NAC preparations to date consist of two copurifying polypeptides. Here we rigorously show that these two polypeptides, termed alpha - and beta NAC, form a very stable complex in vivo and in vitro and that a functional complex can be reconstituted from the individual subunits. A dissection of the contributions of the individual subunits to NACs function revealed that both subunits are in direct contact with nascent polypeptide chains on the ribosome and that both contribute to the prevention of inappropriate interactions. However, beta NAC alone directly binds to the ribosome and is sufficient to prevent ribosome binding to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
