Overview of Gene Research
PYM1 is a protein-coding gene. It can bind both the ribosome and the RBM8A/MAGOH heterodimer of the Exon Junction Complex (EJC) core, acting as an EJC disassembly factor [1,3]. The EJC is involved in multiple post-transcriptional steps of mRNA fate modulation, and PYM1 is crucial in this process, influencing mRNA expression [1,3].
In human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells, PYM1-deficient EJCs show no defect in translation-dependent disassembly but are required for translation-independent EJC destabilization [1]. Acute reduction of PYM1 levels in HEK293 cells modestly inhibits nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and stabilizes certain mRNAs [1].
Flaviviruses, like West Nile virus, dengue virus, and Zika virus, hijack PYM1. Their capsids interact with PYM1, which is antiviral against these viruses. Flavivirus infection inhibits nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), and the capsid-PYM1 interaction interferes with EJC protein function and localization [2]. Depletion of PYM1 attenuates RBM8A binding to viral RNA, suggesting that the virus sequesters PYM1 to protect viral RNA from decay [2].
In conclusion, PYM1 is essential in regulating EJC occupancy and mRNA expression. Its role in the EJC-related pathways is crucial for normal cellular function. The interaction between PYM1 and flaviviruses reveals its significance in the host-virus interaction and the potential importance of PYM1-targeted strategies in treating flavivirus-related diseases.
