However, in animal systems telomerase plays additional non-telomeric functional roles. We previously screened an <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> cDNA library for proteins that interact with the C-terminal extension (CTE) TERT domain and identified a nuclear-localized protein that contains an RNA recognition motif (RRM). This RRM-protein forms homodimers in both plants and yeast. Mutation of the gene encoding the RRM-protein had no detectable effect on plant growth and development, nor did it affect telomerase activity or telomere length <italic>in vivo</italic>, suggesting a non-telomeric role for TERT/RRM-protein complexes. The gene encoding the RRM-protein is highly expressed in leaf and reproductive tissues. We further screened an <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> cDNA library for proteins that interact with the RRM-protein and identified five interactors. These proteins are involved in numerous non-telomere-associated cellular activities. In plants, the RRM-protein, both alone and in a complex with its interactors, localizes to nuclear speckles. Transcriptional analyses in wild-type and <italic>rrm</italic> mutant plants, as well as transcriptional co-analyses, suggest that TERT, the RRM-protein, and the RRM-protein interactors may play important roles in non-telomeric cellular functions.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Amiard, S" uniqKey="Amiard S">S.

However, in animal systems telomerase plays additional non-telomeric functional roles. We previously screened an <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> cDNA library for proteins that interact with the C-terminal extension (CTE) TERT domain and identified a nuclear-localized protein that contains an RNA recognition motif (RRM). This RRM-protein forms homodimers in both plants and yeast. Mutation of the gene encoding the RRM-protein had no detectable effect on plant growth and development, nor did it affect telomerase activity or telomere length <italic>in vivo</italic>, suggesting a non-telomeric role for TERT/RRM-protein complexes. The gene encoding the RRM-protein is highly expressed in leaf and reproductive tissues. We further screened an <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> cDNA library for proteins that interact with the RRM-protein and identified five interactors. These proteins are involved in numerous non-telomere-associated cellular activities. In plants, the RRM-protein, both alone and in a complex with its interactors, localizes to nuclear speckles. Transcriptional analyses in wild-type and <italic>rrm</italic> mutant plants, as well as transcriptional co-analyses, suggest that TERT, the RRM-protein, and the RRM-protein interactors may play important roles in non-telomeric cellular functions.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>telomerase</kwd><kwd>nuclear poly(A)-binding protein</kwd><kwd>telobox</kwd><kwd>metallothionein 2A</kwd><kwd>MODIFIER OF snc1</kwd><kwd>putative nuclear DNA-binding protein G2p</kwd><kwd>oxidation-related zinc finger 2 protein</kwd><kwd>BiFC</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source id="cn001">Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports</funding-source><award-id rid="cn001">LH10352</award-id></award-group><award-group><funding-source id="cn002">European Regional Development Fund</funding-source><award-id rid="cn002">CZ.1.05/1.1.00/02.0068</award-id></award-group><award-group><funding-source id="cn003">European Regional Development Fund</funding-source><award-id rid="cn003">13-06943S</award-id></award-group><award-group><funding-source id="cn004">US National Science Foundation</funding-source></award-group></funding-group><counts><fig-count count="3"></fig-count><table-count count="1"></table-count><equation-count count="0"></equation-count><ref-count count="53"></ref-count><page-count count="11"></page-count><word-count count="0"></word-count></counts></article-meta></front><body><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, distinguishing these ends from double strand DNA breaks (DDBs) and protecting them from the DNA damage repair (DDR) machinery. Due to the “end replication problem” (<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">Olovnikov, 1971</xref>; <xref rid="B49" ref-type="bibr">Watson, 1972</xref>; <xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">Olovnikov, 1973</xref>) telomeres are shortened in each round of replication until they are too short to function, leading to cell senescence (<xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">Levy et al., 1992</xref>) and apoptosis (<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">Harley et al., 1990</xref>; <xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">Counter et al., 1992</xref>). Thus, telomeres limit cellular proliferative capacity and act as a biological “clock.” On the other hand, in cells with high proliferative need such as animal embryonic, stem, and cancer cells (reviewed in <xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">Blasco, 2005</xref>), or plant meristemic cells (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">Fitzgerald et al., 1996</xref>), telomere shortening is compensated by the action of telomerase, a conserved ribonucleoprotein complex with a reverse transcriptase subunit (<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">Greider and Blackburn, 1985</xref>, <xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">1987</xref>). Telomerase consists of two core subunits, <underline>t</underline>elomerase <underline>R</underline>NA (TR) and <underline>te</underline>lomerase <underline>r</underline>everse <underline>t</underline>ranscriptase (TERT), that are associated with several additional proteins not crucial for enzymatic activity. The TERT subunit has an evolutionary conserved primary structure which in most organisms can be further divided into N-terminal domains TEN (<underline>t</underline>elomerase <underline>e</underline>ssential <underline>N</underline>-terminal) and TRBD (<underline>TR</underline><underline>b</underline>inding <underline>d</underline>omain), a central <underline>r</underline>everse <underline>t</underline>ranscriptase (RT) domain, and a <underline>C</underline>-<underline>t</underline>erminal <underline>e</underline>xtension (CTE; reviewed in <xref rid="B42" ref-type="bibr">Sykorova and Fajkus, 2009</xref>).</p><p>The fact that telomerase influences cellular life span and plays a role in various types of cancer intensified research in this field. Surprisingly, telomerase in mammalian cells influences tumourigenesis by additional mechanisms independent of telomere synthesis (reviewed in <xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">Majerska et al., 2011</xref>). These so-called non-telomeric functions of telomerase regulate processes such as apoptosis, cellular proliferation, and cell cycle regulation, generally by altering gene expression, or DDR by <italic>de novo</italic> telomere addition to the sites of DDB.</p><p>For the above reasons it is of great interest to study mechanisms and interactions through which telomerase is regulated, and by which telomerase regulates cellular functions other than telomere synthesis.</p><p>Telomerase from <italic>Arabidopsis thaliana</italic> represents a suitable model, especially because of the availability of viable T-DNA insertion mutants that are typically exploited in these types of studies. Classically, changes in telomere length and telomerase activity are measured in a particular mutant, which may lead to direct identification of important telomerase regulators. However, this approach may not detect interactors crucial for mediating non-telomeric activities of telomerase. For this purpose, methods such as tandem affinity purification or cDNA library screening may be more suitable.</p><p>The N- and C-terminal portions of TERT represent potential interacting targets for telomerase regulatory proteins. The CTE is highly conserved among vertebrates and plants and contains regions important for intracellular trafficking of human TERT, including a nuclear export signal, 14-3-3, and CRM1 binding sites (<xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Seimiya et al., 2000</xref>). In our previous work we screened for <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> CTE protein–protein interactions against a cYFP-tagged <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> cDNA library in tobacco BY-2 protoplasts and identified two interacting partners, an armadillo/β-catenin-like repeat containing protein (encoded by At4g33945) interacting with CTE in the cytoplasm, and an RRM-containing protein (encoded by At5g10350; RRM) that interacts with the CTE in nuclei (<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">Lee et al., 2012</xref>).</p><p>How telomerase executes its non-canonical activities and on which levels it regulates expression of its target genes are poorly understood. One possibility is regulation on the level of mRNA. The RRM protein belongs to a subfamily of <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> nuclear poly(A) binding proteins; that are characterized by a single RRM domain close to the C-terminus (reviewed in <xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">Eliseeva et al., 2013</xref>). The human nuclear poly(A) binding protein PABPN1 is implicated in a variety of mRNA stabilization and degradation processes, such as stimulation of poly(A) synthesis by poly(A) polymerase, protection of growing poly(A) chains from degradation, defining the length of growing poly(A) chains, and mRNA export (<xref rid="B47" ref-type="bibr">Wahle and Ruegsegger, 1999</xref>; <xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">Keller et al., 2000</xref>; <xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">Kuhn et al., 2009</xref>). In addition to RNA binding, the RRM domain may be responsible for interactions with other proteins or DNA (reviewed in <xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">Krietsch et al., 2013</xref>). These observations support the hypothesis that the interaction between TERT and RRM might be a mechanism by which telomerase could affect many cellular processes.</p><p>Here, we present further characterization of the RRM protein and discuss its potential physiological role in telomerase involvement in non-telomeric activities. We describe the interaction profile of the RRM protein and analyze telomere length, telomerase activity, and changes in gene expression in T-DNA insertion mutants that disrupt the <italic>RRM</italic> gene.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="s1"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec><title>Plant Material</title><p><italic>Arabidopsis</italic> T-DNA insertion lines SALK_096285 (<italic>rrm-1</italic>) and SALK_116646C (<italic>rrm-2</italic>) were obtained from the Nottingham <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> Stock Centre.

Genes with a co-regulation level score either higher than 0.5 or lower than -0.5 were considered for further analyses. Telobox motifs in candidate genes were identified in the literature or by manually searching for the motifs AAACCCT, AACCCTA and their corresponding reverse complements, in the genomic region 1000 bp upstream of the translation start (ATG) site using publically available data at NCBI<sup><xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn013">13</xref></sup> and/or the gene datasets from <xref rid="B48" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al.

Because of a possible link between the cell cycle-dependent regulation of the expression of genes encoding ribosomal proteins and telomerase (<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">Gaspin et al., 2010</xref>), we selected for transcription analysis a subset of identified co-regulated genes in addition to genes involved in DNA replication and translation-related genes with known telobox motifs (<bold>Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref></bold>). Five genes showed a 2- to 4-fold increase of transcript levels in both mutant lines, and four genes displayed an increase in the homozygous <italic>rrm-1</italic> line only.

the CTE domain of AtTERT in tobacco BY2 protoplasts (<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">Lee et al., 2012</xref>) was somehow surprising. However, yeast genome-wide screens (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Askree et al., 2004</xref>; <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">Gatbonton et al., 2006</xref>; <xref rid="B46" ref-type="bibr">Ungar et al., 2009</xref>) revealed a number of proteins that influenced telomere length and which were involved in numerous cellular processes without a known link to telomere maintenance. Among these were human proteins involved in RNA metabolism and transcription pathways connected with non-telomeric functions of telomerase (see <xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">Majerska et al., 2011</xref> for review). A conserved protein structure comprising the coiled-coil N-terminus, a single internal RRM domain, and the C-terminal region with a nuclear localization signal classified the RRM protein as a nuclear poly(A) binding protein (PABPN, <xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">Eliseeva et al., 2013</xref>). Recently, a RRM protein was identified as an interactor with AtCSP3 (COLD SHOCK DOMAIN PROTEIN 3; <xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">Kim et al., 2013</xref>), and hnRNP-like proteins (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">Arabidopsis Interactome Mapping Consortium, et al., 2011</xref>). Here, we verified RRM interaction with the CTE domain of AtTERT using BiFC in <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> protoplasts, but their direct interaction was not observed in yeast. Known technical differences of both screening systems suggest that the <italic>in vivo</italic> interaction is mediated by an additional protein absent in the yeast cell, or is facilitated by post-translational modification missing in yeast. Analysis of T-DNA insertion mutant lines showed no obvious changes in telomere lengths and telomerase activity, suggesting that the RRM protein is not essential for telomere maintenance. The observed interaction with telomerase may reflect possible non-telomeric functions.</p><p>The localization of the RRM-YFP signal in nuclear speckles and the observation that all described BiFC RRM interactions (and interaction with CSP3 protein, <xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">Kim et al., 2013</xref>) are nuclear-localized suggest that RRM is in fact a PABPN. Human PABPN1 localizes to nuclear speckles as a consequence of RNA poly(A) binding (<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">Calado and Carmo-Fonseca, 2000</xref>). Our observations indicate a conserved structure-localization relationship of PABPNs across eukaryotic species. Nucleic acid binding of RRM-containing proteins is often mediated by a pair of RRM domains (<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">Deo et al., 1999</xref>; <xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">Kwon and Chung, 2004</xref>). On the other hand, <italic>Xenopus laevis</italic> XlePABP2 and <italic>Citrus sinensis</italic> CsPABPN1, PABPNs that share similar structure with RRM protein, both bind poly(A) as monomers and undergo a dimer-monomer transition upon poly(A) binding (<xref rid="B41" ref-type="bibr">Song et al., 2008</xref>; <xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">Domingues et al., 2015</xref>). We visualized RRM protein dimerization in tobacco BY-2 protoplasts and observed the same nuclear speckle pattern as with RRM-YFP localization. Moreover, we demonstrated that RRM protein dimerizes through its C-terminal region. This last observation contradicts the published dimerization model of hPABPN1 (<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">Ge et al., 2008</xref>), which identified the amino acid residues responsible for self-interaction within the RRM domain.</p><p>We revealed a possible connection between RRM and non-canonical telomerase functions by identifying interaction partners of RRM. Screening for nYFP-RRM protein–protein interactions against a cYFP-tagged cDNA library identified five putative RRM interactors with various annotated functions such as transcription regulation (OZF2), epigenetic regulation (MOS1), mRNA catabolism (MOS1), RNA methylation (G2p), protein nuclear import (G2p), protein folding (HSP70-1), proteolysis (G2p), cellular copper ion homeostasis (MT2A), or metabolism (MOS1, HSP70-1). In all five cases, the interaction localization pattern resembles nuclear speckles, as observed for RRM-YFP subcellular localization. A G2p-GFP fusion protein was previously localized in the nucleus (<xref rid="B53" ref-type="bibr">Zhang et al., 2005</xref>). However, the subcellular localization of other RRM interactors has not previously been described. Interestingly, other data from our group showed that G2p and MOS1 co-purify with TERT (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref></bold>, Majerska et al., manuscript in preparation) and G2p and MT2A interact with TERT(RID1) using BiFC in tobacco BY-2 protoplasts (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2B</xref></bold>, Supplementary Figure <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SM4">S2</xref>), suggesting co-existence of TERT, RRM, G2p, MOS1, and MT2A in a multiprotein complex.</p><p>Analysis of telomere length and telomerase activity in homozygous <italic>rrm-1</italic> and <italic>rrm-2</italic> T-DNA insertion mutants indicated that the RRM protein was not important for the canonical telomeric functions of telomerase. On the other hand, <italic>TERT</italic> transcripts were elevated in homozygous <italic>rrm</italic> mutants, and TERT and RRM may share binding partners such as G2p, MOS1, and MT2A. These observations suggest that RRM plays a role in non-telomeric activities of telomerase. Interestingly, the G7 generation of a homozygous <italic>tert</italic> T-DNA insertion line showed increased <italic>OZF2</italic> and <italic>MT2A</italic> transcript levels (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">Amiard et al., 2014</xref>). PABPNs are implicated in processes that might be crucial for post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Our qPCR analyses indicated that RRM might generally function as a negative regulator of gene expression, because none of the 34 genes analyzed here showed a significant decrease in transcript levels in homozygous <italic>rrm</italic> mutants. Increased levels of <italic>TERT</italic> and <italic>G2p</italic> transcripts in homozygous <italic>rrm</italic> mutant lines indicated a possible feedback mechanism in RRM-TERT and RRM-G2p interactions. Moreover, nine ribosomal and translation-related genes also showed significantly increased transcript levels in a <italic>rrm</italic> mutant background. We have further analyzed these nine genes for transcript level perturbations across different conditions using GENEVESTIGATOR. <italic>RPL2</italic> transcripts were stable across various conditions. Interestingly, the transcript levels of the other eight genes changed more than two-fold in response to salt stress in the <italic>myb44</italic> T-DNA insertion line (<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Jung et al., 2008</xref>). RP40, RPL27A, RPS10p/S20e, BBC1, and RPL2 form a protein interaction network (STRING database<sup><xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn016">16</xref></sup>, <xref rid="B43" ref-type="bibr">Szklarczyk et al., 2015</xref>) and are mutually co-regulated. The RRM interactome, subcellular localization, and co-regulation profile showing that the expression of the majority of its co-regulated genes contain telobox motifs in their promoters, further support the hypothesis that RRM may function in mediating non-telomeric (non-canonical) functions of telomerase. DNA replication-related genes were not co-regulated with genes encoding RRM or its interactors, and they also did not show changes in transcript abundance in a homozygous <italic>rrm</italic> background. These results suggest that the telobox in promoters of these genes are not a critical determinant of RRM action. Regulation of translation-related genes is generally important for the regulation of protein synthesis and consequently for cell growth. These genes regulate tumor onset and progression (reviewed in <xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">Loreni et al., 2014</xref>), further indicating a possible link between RRM and its interactors to TERT non-telomeric functions. Our results support a functional connection between RRM and its interaction partners in plant regulatory protein complex(es).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>The RRM protein was previously identified as an interaction partner of AtTERT. However, telomere length shortening in RRM protein knockout mutant plants was not significant. By screening a cDNA library using cYFP-RRM as a bait, we identified five interaction partners; two of them interacted also with TERT fragments. Investigation of the subcellular localization and protein structure suggested that RRM-protein may function as a nuclear poly(A)-binding protein. Transcriptional profiling revealed a possible involvement of RRM-protein in the regulation of a subset of ribosomal and translation-related genes. Most of these genes contain a telobox motif in their promoters. <italic>G2p</italic> and <italic>TERT</italic> transcript levels were significantly higher in <italic>rrm</italic>/- knockout mutants, suggesting a possible role for RRM in the regulation of these genes and/or the stability of the mRNAs encoded by these genes. Overlaps of the RRM and TERT interactome, subcellular localization of protein–protein interactions, and co-regulation profiles support the hypothesis that RRM may be involved in mediating non-canonical telomerase functions.</p></sec><sec><title>Author Contribution</title><p>LD performed most of experiments except pollen RT-qPCR performed by DH and RR.
