Abstract

Cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 6 (CPSF6) is a cellular protein involved in mRNA processing. Emerging evidence suggests that CPSF6 also plays key roles in HIV-1 infection, specifically during nuclear import and integration targeting. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate CPSF6 expression are largely unknown. In this study, we report a post-transcriptional mechanism that regulates CPSF6 via the cellular microRNA miR-125b. An in silico analysis revealed that the 3'UTR of CPSF6 contains a miR-125b-binding site that is conserved across several mammalian species. Because miRNAs repress protein expression, we tested the effects of miR-125b expression on CPSF6 levels in miR-125b knockdown and over-expression experiments, revealing that miR-125b and CPSF6 levels are inversely correlated. To determine whether miR-125b post-transcriptionally regulates CPSF6, we introduced the 3'UTR of CPSF6 mRNA into a luciferase reporter and found that miR-125b negatively regulates CPSF6 3'UTR-driven luciferase activity. Accordingly, mutations in the miR-125b seed sequence abrogated the regulatory effect of the miRNA on the CPSF6 3'UTR. Finally, pulldown experiments demonstrated that miR-125b physically interacts w...Continue Reading
