In mammalian cells, certain mRNAs encoding
cytokines or proto-oncogenes are especially unstable, because of the
presence of a particular sequence element in their 3'-untranslated
region named ARE (A/U-rich element). AREs cause this instability by
provoking the rapid shortening of the poly(A) tail of the mRNA. The
deadenylation of mRNAs mediated by AREs containing repeats of the
AUUUA motif (class I/II AREs) is conserved in Xenopus
embryos. Here, we first extend these observations by showing that c-Jun
ARE, a representative of class III (non-AUUUA) AREs, also provokes the
deadenylation of a reporter RNA in Xenopus embryos. Next,
by immunodepletion and immunoneutralization experiments, we show that,
in Xenopus, the rapid deadenylation of RNAs that contain
the c-Jun ARE, but not an AUUUA ARE, requires EDEN-BP. This RNA-binding
protein was previously shown to provoke the rapid deadenylation of
certain Xenopus maternal RNAs. Finally, we show that
CUG-BP, the human homologue of EDEN-BP, specifically binds to c-Jun
ARE. Together, these results identify CUG-BP as a plausible
deadenylation factor responsible for the post-transcriptional control
of c-Jun proto-oncogene mRNA in mammalian cells.
