c-Src activates endonuclease-mediated mRNA decay.

The mRNA endonuclease PMR1 initiates mRNA decay by forming a selective complex with its translating substrate mRNA. Previous work showed that the ability of PMR1 to target to polysomes and activate decay depends on the phosphorylation of a tyrosine residue at position 650. The current study shows that c-Src is responsible for activating this mRNA decay pathway. c-Src was recovered with immunoprecipitated PMR1, and it phosphorylates PMR1 in vitro and in vivo. The interaction with c-Src involves two domains of PMR1: Y650 and a series of proline-rich SH3 peptides in the N terminus. In cells with little c-Src, PMR1 targeting to polysomes is induced by constitutively active c-Src but not by inactive forms of the kinase. Similarly, only active c-Src induces PMR1-mediated mRNA decay. Finally, we show that EGF rapidly induces c-Src phosphorylation of PMR1, providing a direct link between tyrosine kinase-mediated signal transduction and mRNA decay.
