- Abundant expression of the long noncoding (lnc) PAN (polyadenylated nuclear) RNA by the human oncogenic gammaherpesvirus Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) depends on a cis-element called the expression and nuclear retention element (ENE). The ENE upregulates PAN RNA by inhibiting its rapid nuclear decay through triple-helix formation with the poly(A) tail. Using structure-based bioinformatics, we identified six ENE-like elements in evolutionarily diverse viral genomes. Five are in double-stranded DNA viruses, including mammalian herpesviruses, insect polydnaviruses, and a protist mimivirus. One is in an insect picorna-like positive-strand RNA virus, suggesting that the ENE can counteract cytoplasmic as well as nuclear RNA decay pathways. Functionality of four of the ENEs was demonstrated by increased accumulation of an intronless polyadenylated reporter transcript in human cells. Identification of these ENEs enabled the discovery of PAN RNA homologs in two additional gammaherpesviruses, RRV and EHV2. Our findings demonstrate that searching for structural elements can lead to rapid identification of lncRNAs. [Display omitted] ► Bioinformatics screen for an RNA stability element, the ENE, was performed ► Newly discovered ENEs were found in viral long noncoding and genomic messenger RNAs ► Rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV) expresses a polyadenylated nuclear (PAN) RNA homolog ► Equine herpesvirus 2 (EHV2) possesses a putative PAN RNA gene The ENE is a stem-loop RNA element that inhibits rapid nuclear decay of the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) polyadenylated nuclear (PAN) long noncoding RNA through triple-helix formation with the poly(A) tail. Using structure-based bioinformatics, Steitz and colleagues identified six additional ENEs in evolutionarily diverse viral DNA and RNA genomes that led to the discovery of PAN RNA homologs in two other gammaherpesviruses, rhesus rhadinovirus and equine herpesvirus 2.
