Comparison of mRNA features affecting translation initiation and reinitiation.

ABSTRACT: Regulation of gene expression at the level of translation accounts for up to three orders of magnitude in its efficiency. We systematically compared the impact of several mRNA features on translation initiation at the first gene in an operon with those for the second gene. Experiments were done in a system with internal control based on dual cerulean and red (CER/RFP) fluorescent proteins. We demonstrated significant differences in the efficiency of Shine Dalgarno sequences acting at the leading gene and at the following genes in an operon. The majority of frequent intercistronic arrangements possess medium SD dependence, medium dependence on the preceding cistron translation and efficient stimulation by A/U-rich sequences. The second cistron starting immediately after preceding cistron stop codon displays unusually high dependence on the SD sequence.

A combination of mRNA features influence the efficiency of leaderless mRNA translation initiation.

Project description:Bacterial translation is thought to initiate by base pairing of the 16S rRNA and the Shine-Dalgarno sequence in the mRNA's 5' untranslated region (UTR). However, transcriptomics has revealed that leaderless mRNAs, which completely lack any 5' UTR, are broadly distributed across bacteria and can initiate translation in the absence of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. To investigate the mechanism of leaderless mRNA translation initiation, synthetic in vivo translation reporters were designed that systematically tested the effects of start codon accessibility, leader length, and start codon identity on leaderless mRNA translation initiation. Using these data, a simple computational model was built based on the combinatorial relationship of these mRNA features that can accurately classify leaderless mRNAs and predict the translation initiation efficiency of leaderless mRNAs. Thus, start codon accessibility, leader length, and start codon identity combine to define leaderless mRNA translation initiation in bacteria.

Unique features of mRNA translation initiation in trypanosomatids

Project description:The 43S pre-initiation complex (PIC) assembly requires establishment of numerous interactions among eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs), Met-tRNAiMet and the small ribosomal subunit (40S). Owing to several differences in the structure and composition of kinetoplastidian 40S compared to their mammalian counterparts, translation initiation in trypanosomatids is suspected to display substantial variability. Here, we determined the structure of the 43S PIC from Trypanosoma cruzi, the Chagas disease parasite, showing numerous specific features, such as different eIF3 structure and interactions with the large rRNA expansion segments 9S, 7S and 6S, and the association of a kinetoplastid-specific ~245 kDa DDX60-like helicase. We also revealed a previously undetermined binding site of the eIF5 C-terminal domain, and terminal tails of eIF2β, eIF1, eIF1A and eIF3 c and d subunits, uncovering molecular details of their critical activities.

Reinitiation involving upstream ORFs regulates ATF4 mRNA translation in mammalian cells.

Project description:During cellular stresses, phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (eIF2) elicits gene expression designed to ameliorate the underlying cellular disturbance. Central to this stress response is the transcriptional regulator activating transcription factor, ATF4. Here we describe the mechanism regulating ATF4 expression involving the differential contribution of two upstream ORFs (uORFs) in the 5' leader of the mouse ATF4 mRNA. The 5' proximal uORF1 is a positive-acting element that facilitates ribosome scanning and reinitiation at downstream coding regions in the ATF4 mRNA. When eIF2-GTP is abundant in nonstressed cells, ribosomes scanning downstream of uORF1 reinitiate at the next coding region, uORF2, an inhibitory element that blocks ATF4 expression. During stress conditions, phosphorylation of eIF2 and the accompanying reduction in the levels of eIF2-GTP increase the time required for the scanning ribosomes to become competent to reinitiate translation. This delayed reinitiation allows for ribosomes to scan through the inhibitory uORF2 and instead reinitiate at the ATF4-coding region. Increased expression of ATF4 would contribute to the expression of genes involved in remediation of cellular stress damage. These results suggest that the mechanism of translation reinitiation involving uORFs is conserved from yeast to mammals.

Global mRNA selection mechanisms for translation initiation.

Project description:BackgroundThe selection and regulation of individual mRNAs for translation initiation from a competing pool of mRNA are poorly understood processes. The closed loop complex, comprising eIF4E, eIF4G and PABP, and its regulation by 4E-BPs are perceived to be key players. Using RIP-seq, we aimed to evaluate the role in gene regulation of the closed loop complex and 4E-BP regulation across the entire yeast transcriptome.ResultsWe find that there are distinct populations of mRNAs with coherent properties: one mRNA pool contains many ribosomal protein mRNAs and is enriched specifically with all of the closed loop translation initiation components. This class likely represents mRNAs that rely heavily on the closed loop complex for protein synthesis. Other heavily translated mRNAs are apparently under-represented with most closed loop components except Pab1p. Combined with data showing a close correlation between Pab1p interaction and levels of translation, these data suggest that Pab1p is important for the translation of these mRNAs in a closed loop independent manner. We also identify a translational regulatory mechanism for the 4E-BPs; these appear to self-regulate by inhibiting translation initiation of their own mRNAs.ConclusionsOverall, we show that mRNA selection for translation initiation is not as uniformly regimented as previously anticipated. Components of the closed loop complex are highly relevant for many mRNAs, but some heavily translated mRNAs interact poorly with this machinery. Therefore, alternative, possibly Pab1p-dependent mechanisms likely exist to load ribosomes effectively onto mRNAs. Finally, these studies identify and characterize a complex self-regulatory circuit for the yeast 4E-BPs.

Charting DENR-dependent translation reinitiation uncovers predictive uORF features and links to circadian timekeeping via Clock.

Project description:The non-canonical initiation factor DENR promotes translation reinitiation on mRNAs harbouring upstream open reading frames (uORFs). Moreover, DENR depletion shortens circadian period in mouse fibroblasts, suggesting involvement of uORF usage and reinitiation in clock regulation. To identify DENR-regulated translation events transcriptome-wide and, in particular, specific core clock transcripts affected by this mechanism, we have used ribosome profiling in DENR-deficient NIH3T3 cells. We uncovered 240 transcripts with altered translation rate, and used linear regression analysis to extract 5' UTR features predictive of DENR dependence. Among core clock genes, we identified Clock as a DENR target. Using Clock 5' UTR mutants, we mapped the specific uORF through which DENR acts to regulate CLOCK protein biosynthesis. Notably, these experiments revealed an alternative downstream start codon, likely representing the bona fide CLOCK N-terminus. Our findings provide insights into uORF-mediated translational regulation that can regulate the mammalian circadian clock and gene expression at large.

Phosphorylation of a reinitiation supporting protein, RISP, determines its function in translation reinitiation.

Project description:Reinitiation supporting protein, RISP, interacts with 60S (60S ribosomal subunit) and eIF3 (eukaryotic initiation factor 3) in plants. TOR (target-of-rapamycin) mediates RISP phosphorylation at residue Ser267, favoring its binding to eL24 (60S ribosomal protein L24). In a viral context, RISP, when phosphorylated, binds the CaMV transactivator/ viroplasmin, TAV, to assist in an exceptional mechanism of reinitiation after long ORF translation. Moreover, we show here that RISP interacts with eIF2 via eIF2β and TOR downstream target 40S ribosomal protein eS6. A RISP phosphorylation knockout, RISP-S267A, binds preferentially eIF2β, and both form a ternary complex with eIF3a in vitro. Accordingly, transient overexpression in plant protoplasts of RISP-S267A, but not a RISP phosphorylation mimic, RISP-S267D, favors translation initiation. In contrast, RISP-S267D preferentially binds eS6, and, when bound to the C-terminus of eS6, can capture 60S in a highly specific manner in vitro, suggesting that it mediates 60S loading during reinitiation. Indeed, eS6-deficient plants are highly resistant to CaMV due to their reduced reinitiation capacity. Strikingly, an eS6 phosphomimic, when stably expressed in eS6-deficient plants, can fully restore the reinitiation deficiency of these plants in cellular and viral contexts. These results suggest that RISP function in translation (re)initiation is regulated by phosphorylation at Ser267.

Yeast Mitochondrial Translation Initiation Factor 3 Interacts with Pet111p to Promote COX2 mRNA Translation.

Project description:Mitochondrial genomes code for several core components of respiratory chain complexes. Thus, mitochondrial translation is of great importance for the organelle as well as for the whole cell. In yeast, mitochondrial translation initiation factor 3, Aim23p, is not essential for the organellar protein synthesis; however, its absence leads to a significant quantitative imbalance of the mitochondrial translation products. This fact points to a possible specific action of Aim23p on the biosynthesis of some mitochondrial protein species. In this work, we examined such peculiar effects of Aim23p in relation to yeast mitochondrial COX2 mRNA translation. We show that Aim23p is indispensable to this process. According to our data, this is mediated by Aimp23p interaction with the known specific factor of the COX2 mRNA translation, Pet111p. If there is no Aim23p in the yeast cells, an increased amount of Pet111p ensures proper COX2 mRNA translation. Our results demonstrate the additional non-canonical function of initiation factor 3 in yeast mitochondrial translation.

Initiation of mRNA translation in bacteria: structural and dynamic aspects.

Project description:Initiation of mRNA translation is a major checkpoint for regulating level and fidelity of protein synthesis. Being rate limiting in protein synthesis, translation initiation also represents the target of many post-transcriptional mechanisms regulating gene expression. The process begins with the formation of an unstable 30S pre-initiation complex (30S pre-IC) containing initiation factors (IFs) IF1, IF2 and IF3, the translation initiation region of an mRNA and initiator fMet-tRNA whose codon and anticodon pair in the P-site following a first-order rearrangement of the 30S pre-IC produces a locked 30S initiation complex (30SIC); this is docked by the 50S subunit to form a 70S complex that, following several conformational changes, positional readjustments of its ligands and ejection of the IFs, becomes a 70S initiation complex productive in initiation dipeptide formation. The first EF-G-dependent translocation marks the beginning of the elongation phase of translation. Here, we review structural, mechanistic and dynamical aspects of this process.

A widespread alternate form of cap-dependent mRNA translation initiation.

Project description:Translation initiation of most mammalian mRNAs is mediated by a 5' cap structure that binds eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). However, inactivation of eIF4E does not impair translation of many capped mRNAs, suggesting an unknown alternate mechanism may exist for cap-dependent but eIF4E-independent translation. We show that DAP5, an eIF4GI homolog that lacks eIF4E binding, utilizes eIF3d to facilitate cap-dependent translation of approximately 20% of mRNAs. Genome-wide transcriptomic and translatomic analyses indicate that DAP5 is required for translation of many transcription factors and receptor capped mRNAs and their mRNA targets involved in cell survival, motility, DNA repair and translation initiation, among other mRNAs. Mass spectrometry and crosslinking studies demonstrate that eIF3d is a direct binding partner of DAP5. In vitro translation and ribosome complex studies demonstrate that DAP5 and eIF3d are both essential for eIF4E-independent capped-mRNA translation. These studies disclose a widespread and previously unknown mechanism for cap-dependent mRNA translation by DAP5-eIF3d complexes.

Characterizing mRNA interactions with RNA granules during translation initiation inhibition.

Project description:When cells experience environmental stresses, global translational arrest is often accompanied by the formation of stress granules (SG) and an increase in the number of p-bodies (PBs), which are thought to play a crucial role in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression through the control of mRNA translation and degradation. SGs and PBs have been extensively studied from the perspective of their protein content and dynamics but, to date, there have not been systematic studies on how they interact with native mRNA granules. Here, we demonstrate the use of live-cell hybridization assays with multiply-labeled tetravalent RNA imaging probes (MTRIPs) combined with immunofluorescence, as a tool to characterize the polyA+ and ?-actin mRNA distributions within the cytoplasm of epithelial cell lines, and the changes in their colocalization with native RNA granules including SGs, PBs and the RNA exosome during the inhibition of translational initiation. Translation initiation inhibition was achieved via the induction of oxidative stress using sodium arsenite, as well as through the use of Pateamine A, puromycin and cycloheximide. This methodology represents a valuable tool for future studies of mRNA trafficking and regulation within living cells.
