From the We previously identified a conserved A + U-rich
element (ARE) in the 3'-untranslated region of bcl-2
mRNA. We have also recently demonstrated that the bcl-2
ARE interacts with a number of ARE-binding proteins (AUBPs) whose
pattern changes during apoptosis in association with bcl-2
mRNA half-life reduction. Here we show that the AUBP AUF1 binds
in vitro to bcl-2 mRNA. The results
obtained in a yeast RNA three-hybrid system have demonstrated that the
1-257-amino acid portion of p37 AUF1 (conserved in all isoforms),
containing the two RNA recognition motifs, also binds to the
bcl-2 ARE in vivo. UVC irradiation-induced
apoptosis results in an increase of AUF1. Inhibition of apoptosis by a
general caspase inhibitor reduces this increase by 2-3-fold.
These results indicate involvement of AUF1 in the
ARE/AUBP-mediated modulation of bcl-2 mRNA decay during apoptosis.
