Abstract

AU-rich elements (ARE) present in the 3' untranslated regions of many cytokines and immediate-early genes are responsible for targeting the transcripts for rapid decay. We present evidence from cotransfection experiments in NIH 3T3 cells that two signaling pathways, one involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K), and one involving the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), lead to stabilization of interleukin-3 mRNA in parallel. Stabilization mediated by either of the two pathways was antagonized by tristetraprolin (TTP), an AU-binding protein known to promote constitutive decay of ARE-containing transcripts. Remarkably, the stabilizing AU-binding protein HuR, in collaboration with p38 MAPK but not with PI3-K, could overcome the destabilizing effect of TTP. These data argue that the stabilizing kinases PI3-K and p38 MAPK do not act through direct inactivation of TTP but via activating pathway-specific stabilizing AU-binding proteins. Our data suggest an integrated model of mRNA turnover control, where stabilizing (HuR) and destabilizing (TTP) AU-binding proteins compete and where the former are under the positive control of independent phosphokinase signaling pathways.
