PubMed Abstract: The KEOPS complex, which is conserved across archaea and eukaryotes, is composed of four core subunits; Pcc1, Kae1, Bud32 and Cgi121. KEOPS is crucial for the fitness of all organisms examined. In humans, pathogenic mutations in KEOPS genes lead to Galloway-Mowat syndrome, an autosomal-recessive disease causing childhood lethality. Kae1 catalyzes the universal and essential tRNA modification N-threonylcarbamoyl adenosine, but the precise roles of all other KEOPS subunits remain an enigma. Here we show using structure-guided studies that Cgi121 recruits tRNA to KEOPS by binding to its 3' CCA tail. A composite model of KEOPS bound to tRNA reveals that all KEOPS subunits form an extended tRNA-binding surface that we have validated in vitro and in vivo to mediate the interaction with the tRNA substrate and its modification. These findings provide a framework for understanding the inner workings of KEOPS and delineate why all KEOPS subunits are essential.
