NMR-Based Characterization of the Interaction between Yeast Oxa1-CTD and Ribosomes.

ABSTRACT: In mitochondria, the major subunits of oxidative phosphorylation complexes are translated by the mitochondrial ribosome (mito-ribosome). The correct insertion and assembly of these subunits into the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) are facilitated by mitochondrial oxidase assembly protein 1 (Oxa1) during the translation process. This co-translational insertion process involves an association between the mito-ribosome and the C-terminus of Oxa1 (Oxa1-CTD) Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods were mainly used to investigate the structural characterization of yeast Oxa1-CTD and its mode of interaction with the E. coli 70S ribosome. Oxa1-CTD forms a transient α-helical structure within the residues P342-Q385, which were reported to form an α-helix when combining with the ribosome. Two conserved contact sites that could interact with the ribosome were further identified. The first site was located on the very end of the N-terminus (V321-I327), and the second one encompassed a stretch of amino acid residues I348-Q370. Based on our discoveries and previous reports, a model has been proposed in which Oxa1-CTD interacts with ribosomes, accompanied by transient-to-stable transitions at the second contact site. These observations may enhance our understanding of the potential role of Oxa1-CTD in facilitating the assembly of oxidative phosphorylation complexes and provide insight into the structural characteristics of Oxa1-CTD.

Project description:BRCA1 has been implicated in numerous DNA repair pathways that maintain genome integrity, however the function responsible for its tumor suppressor activity in breast cancer remains obscure. To identify the most highly conserved of the many BRCA1 functions, we screened the evolutionarily distant eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae for mutants that suppressed the G1 checkpoint arrest and lethality induced following heterologous BRCA1 expression. A genome-wide screen in the diploid deletion collection combined with a screen of ionizing radiation sensitive gene deletions identified mutants that permit growth in the presence of BRCA1. These genes delineate a metabolic mRNA pathway that temporally links transcription elongation (SPT4, SPT5, CTK1, DEF1) to nucleopore-mediated mRNA export (ASM4, MLP1, MLP2, NUP2, NUP53, NUP120, NUP133, NUP170, NUP188, POM34) and cytoplasmic mRNA decay at P-bodies (CCR4, DHH1). Strikingly, BRCA1 interacted with the phosphorylated RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) carboxy terminal domain (P-CTD), phosphorylated in the pattern specified by the CTDK-I kinase, to induce DEF1-dependent cleavage and accumulation of a RNAPII fragment containing the P-CTD. Significantly, breast cancer associated BRCT domain defects in BRCA1 that suppressed P-CTD cleavage and lethality in yeast also suppressed the physical interaction of BRCA1 with human SPT5 in breast epithelial cells, thus confirming SPT5 as a relevant target of BRCA1 interaction. Furthermore, enhanced P-CTD cleavage was observed in both yeast and human breast cells following UV-irradiation indicating a conserved eukaryotic damage response. Moreover, P-CTD cleavage in breast epithelial cells was BRCA1-dependent since damage-induced P-CTD cleavage was only observed in the mutant BRCA1 cell line HCC1937 following ectopic expression of wild type BRCA1. Finally, BRCA1, SPT5 and hyperphosphorylated RPB1 form a complex that was rapidly degraded following MMS treatment in wild type but not BRCA1 mutant breast cells. These results extend the mechanistic links between BRCA1 and transcriptional consequences in response to DNA damage and suggest an important role for RNAPII P-CTD cleavage in BRCA1-mediated cancer suppression.
