Regulation of messenger RNA stability by AU-rich
elements is an important means of regulating genes induced by growth
factors and cytokines. Nup475 (also known as tristetraprolin, or TIS11) is the prototype for a family of zinc-binding Cys3His
motif proteins required for proper regulation of tumor necrosis factor
mRNA stability in macrophages. We developed an Escherichia
coli expression system to produce soluble Nup475 protein in
quantity to study its RNA binding properties. Nup475 protein bound a
tumor necrosis factor AU-rich element over a broad range of pH and salt
concentrations by RNA gel shift. This binding was inhibited by excess
zinc metal, providing a potential mechanism for previous reports of
zinc stabilization of AU-rich element (ARE) containing messenger RNAs.
Immobilized Nup475 protein was used to select its optimal binding site
by RNA SELEX and revealed a strong preference for the extended sequence UUAUUUAUU, rather than a simple AUUUA motif. These findings were confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis of the tumor necrosis factor ARE
and RNA gel shifts on c-fos, interferon- This manuscript is dedicated to the memory of Daniel Nathans.

adenine-rich sites, such as a poly(A) tail RNA fragment, can partially
disrupt the Nup475-tumor necrosis factor AU-rich element complex.
