In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe,Mei2,an RNA-binding protein essential for entry into meiosis,regulates meiosis initiation.Mei2 binds to a specific non-coding RNA species,meiRNA,and accumulates at the sme2 gene locus,which encodes meiRNA.Previous research has shown that the Mei2 C-terminal RNA recognition motif(RRM3)physically interacts with the meiRNA 5'region in vitro and stimulates meiosis in vivo.However,the underlying mechanisms still remain elusive.We first employed an in vitro crosslinking and immunoprecipitation sequencing(CLIP-seq)assay and demonstrated a preference for U-rich motifs of meiRNA by Mei2 RRM3.We then solved the crystal structures of Mei2 RRM3 in the apo form and complex with an 8 mer RNA fragment,derived from meiRNA,as detected by in vitro CLIP-seq.These results provide structural insights into the Mei2 RRM3-meiRNA complex and reveal that Mei2 RRM3 binds specifically to the Uuc(U)sequence.Furthermore,a structure-based Mei2 mutation,Mei2F644A causes defective karyogamy,suggesting an essential role of the RNA-binding ability of Mei2 in regulating meiosis. 展开更多
