Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of heart function and then an intriguing therapeutic target for plenty of diseases. The problem raised is that many data in this area are contradictory, thus limiting the use of miRNA-based therapy. The goal of this review is to describe the hub-mechanisms regulating the biogenesis and function of miRNAs, which could help in clarifying some contradictions in the miRNA world. With this scope, we analyse an array of factors, including several known agents of stress response, mediators of epigenetic changes, regulators of alternative splicing, RNA editing, protein synthesis and folding and proteolytic systems. All these factors are important in cardiovascular function and most of them regulate miRNA biogenesis, but their influence on miRNAs was shown for non-cardiac cells or some specific cardiac pathologies. Finally, we consider that studying the stress response factors, which are upstream regulators of miRNA biogenesis, in the diseased heart could help in (1) explaining some contradictions concerning miRNAs in heart pathology, (2) making the role of miRNAs in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease more clear, and therefore, (3) getting powerful targets for its molecular therapy.

Abstract
26S proteasomes are known as major non-lysosomal cellular machines for coordinated and specific destruction of ubiquitinylated proteins. The proteolytic activities of proteasomes are controlled by various post-translational modifications in response to environmental cues, including DNA damage. Besides proteolysis, proteasomes also associate with RNA hydrolysis and splicing. Here, we extend the functional diversity of proteasomes by showing that they also dynamically associate with microRNAs (miRNAs) both in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells. Moreover, DNA damage induced by an anti-cancer drug, doxorubicin, alters the repertoire of proteasome-associated miRNAs, enriching the population of miRNAs that target cell cycle checkpoint regulators and DNA repair proteins. Collectively, these data uncover yet another potential mode of action for proteasomes in the cell via their dynamic association with microRNAs.

Abstract
Proteasome and microRNAs play a critical role in almost all processes in a living organism, including pathology of the heart; however, their interaction is still in question. In the present study, we have found that proteasome inhibitor provoked increase of mature but not immature microRNA-1 in cultured cardiomyocytes, and tested the hypothesis that mature microRNA-1 can be a substrate for endonuclease activity of proteasome. In our in vitro experiments, we have found that proteasome fraction II is able to degrade both mature and primary but not precursor microRNA-1. However, this in vitro effect was not abolished by chemical inhibitor of proteolytic activities of proteasome. These data let us summarize that proteasome has the complex effect on the level of microRNA-1.

Abstract
An AU-rich element (ARE) located in the 3'-untranslated region of many short-lived mRNAs functions as an instability determinant for these transcripts. AUF1/hnRNP D, an ARE-binding protein family consisting of four isoforms, promotes rapid decay of ARE-mRNAs. The mechanism by which AUF1 promotes rapid decay of ARE-mRNA is unclear. AUF1 has been shown to form an RNase-resistant complex in cells with the cap-initiation complex and heat shock proteins Hsp70 and Hsc70, as well as other unidentified factors. To understand the function of the AUF1 complex, we have biochemically investigated the association of AUF1 with the components of the translation initiation complex. We used purified recombinant proteins and a synthetic ARE RNA oligonucleotide to determine the hierarchy of protein interactions in vitro and the effect of AUF1 binding to the ARE on the formation of protein complexes. We demonstrate that all four AUF1 protein isoforms bind directly and strongly to initiation factor eIF4G at a C-terminal site regardless of AUF1 interaction with the ARE. AUF1 is shown to directly interact with poly(A) binding protein (PABP), both independently of eIF4G and in a complex with eIF4G. AUF1-PABP interaction is opposed by AUF1 binding to the ARE or Hsp70 heat shock protein. In vivo, AUF1 interaction with PABP does not alter PABP stability. Based on these and other data, we propose a model for the molecular interactions of AUF1 that involves translation-dependent displacement of AUF1-PABP complexes from ARE-mRNAs with possible unmasking of the poly(A) tail.

Abstract
To elucidate cellular machinery on a global scale, we performed a multiple comparison of the recently available protein-protein interaction networks of Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This comparison integrated protein interaction and sequence information to reveal 71 network regions that were conserved across all three species and many exclusive to the metazoans. We used this conservation, and found statistically significant support for 4,645 previously undescribed protein functions and 2,609 previously undescribed protein interactions. We tested 60 interaction predictions for yeast by two-hybrid analysis, confirming approximately half of these. Significantly, many of the predicted functions and interactions would not have been identified from sequence similarity alone, demonstrating that network comparisons provide essential biological information beyond what is gleaned from the genome.

Abstract
The A+U-rich element (ARE) in the 3' non-coding region (3' NCR) of short-lived cytokine mRNAs binds several regulatory proteins, including hnRNP D/AUF1, which comprises four isoforms of 37, 40, 42 and 45 kDa. ARE-mRNA degradation involves ubiquitin-proteasome activity, and one or more AUF1 proteins are thought to be ubiquitinated. Here we have characterized the mechanism for differential ubiquitination and degradation of the different AUF1 protein isoforms. We demonstrate in an in vitro ubiquitination system that the p37, followed by the p40 protein, are strongly ubiquitinated, whereas the p42 and p45 forms are not. Over expression in cells of enzymes that control the ubiquitin cycle were found to control p37 and p40 AUF1 protein levels through ubiquitination and proteasome activity, but not p42 and p45 forms. The p42 and p45 AUF1 proteins share a C-terminal exon 7 that is not found in the p37/p40 isoforms. Our studies show that exon 7 blocks ubiquitination and rapid degradation of AUF1 proteins, whereas its deletion permits ubiquitination to occur and promotes rapid turnover of AUF1 proteins. Thus, the stabilities of AUF1 isoforms are differentially controlled by insertion of an alternate exon that regulates ubiquitin targeting activity.

Abstract
The plus-sense RNA genome of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) contains noncoding regions (NCRs) of 95 and 585 bases at its 5' and 3' ends, respectively. The last 83 nucleotides of the 3'-NCR are predicted to form stable stem-loop (SL) structures. The shape of this 3'-SL structure is highly conserved among divergent flaviviruses even though only small stretches of nucleotide sequence contained within these structures are conserved. These SL structures have been predicted to function as cis-acting signals for RNA replication and as such may bind to viral and cellular proteins that may be involved in viral replication. We have studied the interaction of the JEV 3'-NCR RNA with host proteins using gel retardation assays. We show that the JEV 3'-SL structure RNA forms three complexes with proteins from the S100 cytoplasmic extract prepared from the neonatal mouse brain. These complexes could be obtained in the presence of 200 mM KCl, indicating that the RNA-protein interaction may be physiologically relevant. UV-induced cross-linking and Northwestern blotting analyses detected three proteins with apparent molecular masses of 32, 35, and 50 kDa that bound to the JEV 3'-SL structure RNA. Screening of the neonatal mouse brain cDNA library with the JEV 3'-SL structure RNA identified a 36-kDa Mov34 protein interacting with it. Competition experiments using the RNA extracted from JEV virions established that the 36-kDa Mov34 protein indeed bound to the JEV genome. Murine Mov34 belongs to a family of proteins whose members have been shown to be involved in RNA transcription and translation. It is, therefore, likely that the murine Mov34 interaction with JEV 3'-NCR has a role in RNA replication.

Abstract
Proteasomes are large multisubunit proteases that are found in the cytosol, both free and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, and in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Their ubiquitous presence and high abundance in these compartments reflects their central role in cellular protein turnover. Proteasomes recognize, unfold, and digest protein substrates that have been marked for degradation by the attachment of a ubiquitin moiety. Individual subcomplexes of the complete 26S proteasome are involved in these different tasks: The ATP-dependent 19S caps are believed to unfold substrates and feed them to the actual protease, the 20S proteasome. This core particle appears to be more ancient than the ubiquitin system. Both prokaryotic and archaebacterial ancestors have been identified. Crystal structures are now available for the E. coli proteasome homologue and the T. acidophilum and S. cerevisiae 20S proteasomes. All three enzymes are cylindrical particles that have their active sites on the inner walls of a large central cavity. They share the fold and a novel catalytic mechanism with an N-terminal nucleophilic threonine, which places them in the family of Ntn (N terminal nucleophile) hydrolases. Evolution has added complexity to the comparatively simple prokaryotic prototype. This minimal proteasome is a homododecamer made from two hexameric rings stacked head to head. Its heptameric version is the catalytic core of archaebacterial proteasomes, where it is sandwiched between two inactive antichambers that are made up from a different subunit. In eukaryotes, both subunits have diverged into seven different subunits each, which are present in the particle in unique locations such that a complex dimer is formed that has six active sites with three major specificities that can be attributed to individual subunits. Genetic, biochemical, and high-resolution electron microscopy data, but no crystal structures, are available for the 19S caps. A first step toward a mechanistic understanding of proteasome activation and regulation has been made with the elucidation of the X-ray structure of the alternative, mammalian proteasome activator PA28.

Abstract
Most cells experiencing heat stress reprogram their translational machinery to favor the synthesis of heat-stress proteins. Translation of other transcripts is almost completely repressed, but most untranslated messengers are not degraded. In contrast to yeast, Drosophila melanogaster, and HeLa cells, plant cells store repressed messengers in cytoplasmic nonpolysomal ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). To follow the fate of untranslated transcripts, we studied protein composition, mRNA content, and RNA-binding properties of nonpolysomal RNPs from heat-stressed tomato (Lycopersicon peruvianum) cells. Contrary to the selective interaction in vivo, RNPs isolated from tomato cells bound both stress-induced and repressed messengers, suggesting that the selection mechanism resides elsewhere. This binding was independent of a cap or a poly(A) tail. The possible role of proteasomes and heat-stress granules (HSGs) in mRNA storage is a topic of debate. We found in vitro messenger-RNA-binding activity in messenger RNP fractions free of C2-subunit-containing proteasomes and HSGs. In addition, mRNAs introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana plumbaginifolia) protoplasts were found in the cytoplasm but were not associated with HSGs.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that sepsis stimulates ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown in skeletal muscle. The 20S proteasome is the catalytic core of the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway. We tested the effects in vitro of the proteasome inhibitors N-acetyl-L-leucinyl-L-leucinal-L-norleucinal (LLnL) and lactacystin on protein breakdown in incubated muscles from septic rats. LLnL resulted in a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of protein breakdown in muscles from septic rats. Lactacystin blocked both total and myofibrillar muscle protein breakdown. In addition to inhibiting protein breakdown, LLnL reduced muscle protein synthesis and increased ubiquitin mRNA levels, probably reflecting inhibited proteasome-associated ribonuclease activity. Inhibited muscle protein breakdown caused by LLnL or lactacystin supports the concept that the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays a central role in sepsis-induced muscle proteolysis. The results suggest that muscle catabolism during sepsis may be inhibited by targeting specific molecular mechanisms of muscle proteolysis.

Abstract
We have identified two distinct subunits of 20 S proteasomes that are associated with RNase activity. Proteasome subunits zeta and iota, eluted from two-dimensional Western blots, hydrolysed tobacco mosaic virus RNA, whereas none of the other subunits degraded this substrate under the same conditions. Additionally, proteasomes were dissociated by 6 M urea, and subunit zeta, containing the highest RNase activity, was isolated by anion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Purified subunit zeta migrated as a single spot on two-dimensional PAGE with a molecular mass of approx. 28 kDa. Addition of anti-(subunit zeta) antibodies led to the co-precipitation of this proteasome subunit and nuclease activity. This is the first evidence that proteasomal alpha-type subunits are associated with an enzymic activity, and our results provide further evidence that proteasomes may be involved in cellular RNA metabolism.

Abstract
Escherichia coli ribonucleases (RNases) HII, III, II, PH and D have been used to characterise new and known viral, bacterial, archaeal and eucaryotic sequences similar to these endo- (HII and III) and exoribonucleases (II, PH and D). Statistical models, hidden Markov models (HMMs), were created for the RNase HII, III, II and PH and D families as well as a double-stranded RNA binding domain present in RNase III. Results suggest that the RNase D family, which includes Werner syndrome protein and the 100 kDa antigenic component of the human polymyositis scleroderma (PMSCL) autoantigen, is a 3'-->5' exoribonuclease structurally and functionally related to the 3'-->5' exodeoxyribonuclease domain of DNA polymerases. Polynucleotide phosphorylases and the RNase PH family, which includes the 75 kDa PMSCL autoantigen, possess a common domain suggesting similar structures and mechanisms of action for these 3'-->5' phosphorolytic enzymes. Examination of HMM-generated multiple sequences alignments for each family suggest amino acids that may be important for their structure, substrate binding and/or catalysis.

Abstract
The 20S proteasome (prosome) is a highly organized multiprotein complex with approximate molecular weight of about 700 kDa. Whilst the role of the proteasome in the processing and turnover of cellular proteins is becoming clearer, its relationship with RNA remains still obscure. Here we focus on the nature and function of proteasome associated endonuclease activity. Thus the involvement of a proteasome alpha-type subunit in RNA-degradation, the catalytic requirements, the interaction of proteasomes with their RNA-substrate and the identification of a well defined cleavage site in the 3'UTR of short-lived cellular mRNAs will be described in detail. All data indicate that proteasomes associated endonuclease activity could be involved in post-transcriptional gene control at the level of translation.
