Human up-frameshift 1 (UPF1) is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase and phosphoprotein implicated in several biological processes but is best known for its key function in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Here we employed a combination of stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture experiments to determine by quantitative proteomics UPF1 interactors. We used this approach to distinguish between RNA-mediated and protein-mediated UPF1 interactors and to determine proteins that preferentially bind the hypo- or the hyper-phosphorylated form of UPF1. Confirming and expanding previous studies, we identified the eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) as a prominent protein-mediated interactor of UPF1. However, unlike previously reported, eIF3 binds to UPF1 independently of UPF1’s phosphorylation state. Furthermore, our data revealed many nucleus-associated RNA-binding proteins that preferentially associate with hyper-phosphorylated UPF1 in an RNase-sensitive manner, suggesting that UPF1 gets recruited to mRNA and becomes phosphorylated before being exported to the cytoplasm as part of the mRNP.
