Quantitative analysis of snoRNA association with pre-ribosomes and release of snR30 by Rok1 helicase.

ABSTRACT: In yeast, three small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are essential for the processing of pre-ribosomal RNA--U3, U14 and snR30--whereas 72 non-essential snoRNAs direct site-specific modification of pre-rRNA. We applied a quantitative screen for alterations in the pre-ribosome association to all 75 yeast snoRNAs in strains depleted of eight putative helicases implicated in 40S subunit synthesis. For the modification-guide snoRNAs, we found no clear evidence for the involvement of these helicases in the association or dissociation of pre-ribosomes. However, the DEAD box helicase Rok1 was required specifically for the release of snR30. Point mutations in motif I, but not in motif III, of the helicase domain of Rok1 impaired the release of snR30, but this was less marked than in strains depleted of Rok1, and resulted in a dominant-negative growth phenotype. Dissociation of U3 and U14 from pre-ribosomes is also dependent on helicases, suggesting that release of the essential snoRNAs might differ mechanistically from release of the modification-guide snoRNAs.

Association of snR190 snoRNA chaperone with early pre-60S particles is regulated by the RNA helicase Dbp7 in yeast.

Project description:Synthesis of eukaryotic ribosomes involves the assembly and maturation of precursor particles (pre-ribosomal particles) containing ribosomal RNA (rRNA) precursors, ribosomal proteins (RPs) and a plethora of assembly factors (AFs). Formation of the earliest precursors of the 60S ribosomal subunit (pre-60S r-particle) is among the least understood stages of ribosome biogenesis. It involves the Npa1 complex, a protein module suggested to play a key role in the early structuring of the pre-rRNA. Npa1 displays genetic interactions with the DExD-box protein Dbp7 and interacts physically with the snR190 box C/D snoRNA. We show here that snR190 functions as a snoRNA chaperone, which likely cooperates with the Npa1 complex to initiate compaction of the pre-rRNA in early pre-60S r-particles. We further show that Dbp7 regulates the dynamic base-pairing between snR190 and the pre-rRNA within the earliest pre-60S r-particles, thereby participating in structuring the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) of the large ribosomal subunit.

RNA helicase-mediated regulation of snoRNP dynamics on pre-ribosomes and rRNA 2'-O-methylation.

Project description:RNA helicases play important roles in diverse aspects of RNA metabolism through their functions in remodelling ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs), such as pre-ribosomes. Here, we show that the DEAD box helicase Dbp3 is required for efficient processing of the U18 and U24 intron-encoded snoRNAs and 2'-O-methylation of various sites within the 25S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequence. Furthermore, numerous box C/D snoRNPs accumulate on pre-ribosomes in the absence of Dbp3. Many snoRNAs guiding Dbp3-dependent rRNA modifications have overlapping pre-rRNA basepairing sites and therefore form mutually exclusive interactions with pre-ribosomes. Analysis of the distribution of these snoRNAs between pre-ribosome-associated and 'free' pools demonstrated that many are almost exclusively associated with pre-ribosomal complexes. Our data suggest that retention of such snoRNPs on pre-ribosomes when Dbp3 is lacking may impede rRNA 2'-O-methylation by reducing the recycling efficiency of snoRNPs and by inhibiting snoRNP access to proximal target sites. The observation of substoichiometric rRNA modification at adjacent sites suggests that the snoRNPs guiding such modifications likely interact stochastically rather than hierarchically with their pre-rRNA target sites. Together, our data provide new insights into the dynamics of snoRNPs on pre-ribosomal complexes and the remodelling events occurring during the early stages of ribosome assembly.

Levels of sdRNAs in cytoplasm and their association with ribosomes are dependent upon stress conditions but independent from snoRNA expression.

Project description:In recent years, a number of small RNA molecules derived from snoRNAs have been observed. Findings concerning the functions of snoRNA-derived small RNAs (sdRNAs) in cells are limited primarily to their involvement in microRNA pathways. However, similar molecules have been observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is an organism lacking miRNA machinery. Here we examined the subcellular localization of sdRNAs in yeast. Our findings reveal that both sdRNAs and their precursors, snoRNAs, are present in the cytoplasm at levels dependent upon stress conditions. Moreover, both sdRNAs and snoRNAs may interact with translating ribosomes in a stress-dependent manner. Likely consequential to their ribosome association and protein synthesis suppression features, yeast sdRNAs may exert inhibitory activity on translation. Observed levels of sdRNAs and snoRNAs in the cytoplasm and their apparent presence in the ribosomal fractions suggest independent regulation of these molecules by yet unknown factors.

At least two molecules of the RNA helicase Has1 are simultaneously present in pre-ribosomes during ribosome biogenesis.

Project description:The RNA helicase Has1 is involved in the biogenesis of both small and large ribosomal subunits. How it performs these separate roles is not fully understood. Here we provide evidence that at least two molecules of Has1 are temporarily present at the same time in 90S pre-ribosomes. We identified multiple Has1 binding sites in the 18S, 5.8S and 25S rRNAs. We show that while the Has1 catalytic activity is not required for binding to 5.8S/25S region in pre-rRNA, it is essential for binding to 18S sites. After the cleavage of pre-rRNA at the A2 site, Has1 remains associated not only with pre-60S but, unexpectedly, also with pre-40S ribosomes. The recruitment to 90S/pre-40S and pre-60S ribosomes is mutually independent. Our data provides insight into how Has1 performs its separate functions in the synthesis of both ribosomal subunits.

Release of nonstop ribosomes is essential.

Project description:UnlabelledBacterial ribosomes frequently translate to the 3' end of an mRNA without terminating at a stop codon. Almost all bacteria use the transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA)-based trans-translation pathway to release these "nonstop" ribosomes and maintain protein synthesis capacity. trans-translation is essential in some species, but in others, such as Caulobacter crescentus, trans-translation can be inactivated. To determine why trans-translation is dispensable in C. crescentus, a Tn-seq screen was used to identify genes that specifically alter growth in cells lacking ssrA, the gene encoding tmRNA. One of these genes, CC1214, was essential in ΔssrA cells. Purified CC1214 protein could release nonstop ribosomes in vitro. CC1214 is a homolog of the Escherichia coli ArfB protein, and using the CC1214 sequence, ArfB homologs were identified in the majority of bacterial phyla. Most species in which ssrA has been deleted contain an ArfB homolog, suggesting that release of nonstop ribosomes may be essential in most or all bacteria.ImportanceGenes that are conserved across large phylogenetic distances are expected to confer a selective advantage. The genes required for trans-translation, ssrA and smpB, have been found in >99% of sequenced bacterial genomes, suggesting that they are broadly important. However, these genes can be deleted in some species without loss of viability. The identification and characterization of C. crescentus ArfB reveals why trans-translation is not essential in C. crescentus and suggests that many other bacteria are likely to use ArfB to survive when trans-translation is compromised.

Additional principles that govern the release of pre-ribosomes from the nucleolus into the nucleoplasm in yeast.

Project description:During eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis, pre-ribosomes travel from the nucleolus, where assembly is initiated, to the nucleoplasm and then are exported to the cytoplasm, where assembly concludes. Although nuclear export of pre-ribosomes has been extensively investigated, the release of pre-ribosomes from the nucleolus is an understudied phenomenon. Initial data indicate that unfolded rRNA interacts in trans with nucleolar components and that, when rRNA folds due to ribosomal protein (RP) binding, the number of trans interactions drops below the threshold necessary for nucleolar retention. To validate and expand on this idea, we performed a bioinformatic analysis of the protein components of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosome assembly pathway. We found that ribosome biogenesis factors (RiBi factors) contain significantly more predicted trans interacting regions than RPs. We also analyzed cryo-EM structures of ribosome assembly intermediates to determine how nucleolar pre-ribosomes differ from post-nucleolar pre-ribosomes, specifically the capacity of RPs, RiBi factors, and rRNA components to interact in trans. We observed a significant decrease in the theoretical trans-interacting capability of pre-ribosomes between nucleolar and post-nucleolar stages of assembly due to the release of RiBi factors from particles and the folding of rRNA. Here, we provide a mechanism for the release of pre-ribosomes from the nucleolus.

Structural Heterogeneity in Pre-40S Ribosomes.

Project description:Late-stage 40S ribosome assembly is a highly regulated dynamic process that occurs in the cytoplasm, alongside the full translation machinery. Seven assembly factors (AFs) regulate and facilitate maturation, but the mechanisms through which they work remain undetermined. Here, we present a series of structures of the immature small subunit (pre-40S) determined by three-dimensional (3D) cryoelectron microscopy with 3D sorting to assess the molecule's heterogeneity. These structures demonstrate an extensive structural heterogeneity of interface AFs that likely regulates subunit joining during 40S maturation. We also present structural models for the beak and the platform, two regions where the low resolution of previous studies did not allow for localization of AFs and the rRNA, respectively. These models are supported by biochemical analyses using point variants and suggest that maturation of the 18S 3' end is regulated by dissociation of the AF Dim1 from the subunit interface, consistent with previous biochemical analyses.

In vitro structural maturation of an early stage pre-40S particle coupled with U3 snoRNA release and central pseudoknot formation.

Project description:The transition of the 90S to the pre-40S pre-ribosome is a decisive step in eukaryotic small subunit biogenesis leading to a first pre-40S intermediate (state Dis-C or primordial pre-40S), where the U3 snoRNA keeps the nascent 18S rRNA locally immature. We in vitro reconstitute the ATP-dependent U3 release from this particle, catalyzed by the helicase Dhr1, and follow this process by cryo-EM revealing two successive pre-40S intermediates, Dis-D and Dis-E. The latter has lost not only U3 but all residual 90S factors including the GTPase Bms1. In vitro remodeling likewise induced the formation of the central pseudoknot, a universally conserved tertiary RNA structure that comprises the core of the small subunit decoding center. Thus, we could structurally reveal a key tertiary RNA folding step that is essential to form the active 40S subunit.

Hrr25/CK1δ-directed release of Ltv1 from pre-40S ribosomes is necessary for ribosome assembly and cell growth.

Project description:Casein kinase 1δ/ε (CK1δ/ε) and their yeast homologue Hrr25 are essential for cell growth. Further, CK1δ is overexpressed in several malignancies, and CK1δ inhibitors have shown promise in several preclinical animal studies. However, the substrates of Hrr25 and CK1δ/ε that are necessary for cell growth and survival are unknown. We show that Hrr25 is essential for ribosome assembly, where it phosphorylates the assembly factor Ltv1, which causes its release from nascent 40S subunits and allows subunit maturation. Hrr25 inactivation or expression of a nonphosphorylatable Ltv1 variant blocked Ltv1 release in vitro and in vivo, and prevented entry into the translation-like quality control cycle. Conversely, phosphomimetic Ltv1 variants rescued viability after Hrr25 depletion. Finally, Ltv1 knockdown in human breast cancer cells impaired apoptosis induced by CK1δ/ε inhibitors, establishing that the antiproliferative activity of these inhibitors is due, at least in part, to disruption of ribosome assembly. These findings validate the ribosome assembly pathway as a novel target for the development of anticancer therapeutics.
