In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Upf1 exists in two distinct complexes with factors that mediate NMD activation or 5'-3' mRNA degradation. We combined endogenous purifications and biochemical reconstitutions of yeast Upf1 complexes with structural analyses and biochemical assays to elucidate the molecular mechanisms driving the organization of the Upf1-5'-3' and Upf1-2-3 complexes. We show that yeast Upf1 is in a constitutive complex, whereby its CH, RecA, and C-terminal domains interact with the mRNA decapping factor Dcp2, NMD-associated proteins Nmd4 and Ebs1, and the 5'-3' exoribonuclease Xrn1, respectively. Together, the interacting surfaces and closed conformation of Upf1 in the Upf1-5'-3' complex sterically obstruct the binding of Upf2-3. Our work points to a major restructuring upon recruitment of these factors during NMD and provides insights into evolutionary divergence amongst species. | ||||||||||||||||||
