Abstract

Dhh1 and Pat1 in yeast are mRNA decapping activators/
translational repressors thought to play key
roles in the transition of mRNAs from translation to
degradation. However, little is known about the
physical and functional relationships between these
proteins and the translation machinery. We describe
a previously unknown type of diauxic shiftdependent
modulation of the intracellular locations
of Dhh1 and Pat1. Like the formation of P bodies,
this phenomenon changes the spatial relationship
between components involved in translation and
mRNA degradation. We report significant spatial
separation of Dhh1 and Pat1 from ribosomes in
exponentially growing cells. Moreover, biochemical
analyses reveal that these proteins are excluded
from polysomal complexes in exponentially growing
cells, indicating that they may not be associated
with active states of the translation machinery. In
contrast, under diauxic growth shift conditions,
Dhh1 and Pat1 are found to co-localize with polysomal
complexes. This work suggests that Dhh1
and Pat1 functions are modulated by a relocalization
mechanism that involves eIF4A. Pulldown
experiments reveal that the intracellular
binding partners of Dhh1 and Pat1 change as cells
undergo the diauxic growth shift. This reveals a
new dimension to the relationship between translation
activity and interactions between mRNA, the
translation machinery and decapping activator
proteins.
