In Xenopus, estrogen induces the stabilization of vitellogenin mRNA and the destabilization of albumin mRNA. These processes correlate with increased polysomal activity of a sequence-selective mRNA endonuclease, PMR-1, and a hnRNP K homology-domain RNA-binding protein, vigilin. Vigilin binds to a region of the vitellogenin mRNA 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) implicated in estrogen-mediated stabilization. The vigilin-binding site in the vitellogenin B1 mRNA 3'-UTR contains two consensus PMR-1 cleavage sites. The availability of purified PMR-1 and recombinant vigilin made it possible to test the hypothesis that RNA-binding proteins interact with cis-acting elements to stabilize target mRNAs by blocking cleavage by site-specific mRNA endonucleases. Vigilin binds to the vitellogenin mRNA 3'-UTR site with at least 30-fold higher affinity than it exhibits for the albumin mRNA segment containing the mapped PMR-1 cleavage sites. This differential binding affinity correlates with differential in vitro susceptibility of the protein-RNA complexes to cleavage by PMR-1. Whereas recombinant vigilin has no detectable protective effect on PMR-1 cleavage of albumin mRNA, it retards in vitro cleavage of the vitellogenin mRNA 3'-UTR by purified PMR-1. The PMR-1 sites in the vitellogenin mRNA 3'-UTR are functional because they are readily cleaved in vitro by purified PMR-1. These results provide direct evidence for differential susceptibility to endonuclease-mediated mRNA decay resulting from the differential affinity of a RNA-binding protein for cis-acting stability determinants.
