ESF1 is required for 18S rRNA synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT: We report that Esf1p (Ydr365cp), an essential, evolutionarily conserved nucleolar protein, is required for the biogenesis of 18S rRNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Depletion of Esf1p resulted in delayed processing of 35S precursor and a striking loss of 18S rRNA. Esf1p physically associated with ribosomal proteins and proteins involved in 18S rRNA biogenesis. Consistent with its role in 18S rRNA biogenesis, Esf1p also physically associated with U3 and U14 snoRNAs, but did not appear to be a core component of the SSU processome. These data indicate that Esf1p plays a direct role in early pre-rRNA processing.

Quorum sensing regulates rRNA synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis requires the concerted activities of three nuclear RNA polymerases, (Pols) I, II, and III, to produce 25S, 18S and 5.8S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding ribosomal proteins, and the 5S rRNA, respectively. The rRNA is processed and modified before being assembled with ribosomal proteins to produce a ribosome. Ribosome biogenesis requires extensive energetic investment by the cell, so it is critical that this process is tightly regulated in accord with cellular growth potential. Previous work revealed that rRNA synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is repressed prior to the cells shift from active growth (log phase) to limited/static growth (stationary phase). The mechanism(s) by which cells anticipate imminent stationary phase are unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that growing cells produce one or more compounds that accumulate in the growth medium, and that this compound induces repression of rRNA synthesis. When cells encounter this compound, rRNA synthesis is rapidly repressed. We further show that subunits of Pols I and II are degraded during the transition from log to stationary phase growth, but this degradation does not account for the observed repression of rRNA synthesis. Interestingly, repression of rRNA synthesis by spent media requires the nuclear exosome, implying that spent media stimulates rapid rRNA degradation. Together, these data suggest that yeast use quorum sensing to regulate rRNA synthesis in anticipation of high cell density in stationary phase.

Two mutant forms of the S1/TPR-containing protein Rrp5p affect the 18S rRNA synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The genetic depletion of yeast Rrp5p results in a synthesis defect of both 18S and 5.8S ribosomal RNAs (Venema J, Tollervey D. 1996. EMBO J 15:5701-5714). We have isolated the RRP5gene in a genetic approach aimed to select for yeast factors interfering with protein import into mitochondria. We describe here a striking feature of Rrp5p amino acid sequence, namely the presence of twelve putative S1 RNA-binding motifs and seven tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR) motifs. We have constructed two conditional temperature-sensitive alleles of RRP5 gene and analyzed them for associated rRNA-processing defects. First, a functional "bipartite gene" was generated revealing that the S1 and TPR parts of the protein can act independently of each other. We also generated a two amino acid deletion in TPR unit 1 (rrp5delta6 allele). The two mutant forms of Rrp5p were shown to cause a defect in 18S rRNA synthesis with no detectable effects on 5.8S rRNA production. However, the rRNA processing pathway was differently affected in each case. Interestingly, the ROK1 gene which, like RRP5, was previously isolated in a screen for synthetic lethal mutations with snR10 deletion, was here identified as a high copy suppressor of the rrp5delta6 temperature-sensitive allele. ROK1 also acts as a low copy suppressor but cannot bypass the cellular requirement for RRP5. Furthermore, we show that suppression by the Rok1p putative RNA helicase rescues the 18S rRNA synthesis defect caused by the rrp5delta6 mutation.

Ribosomal protein L35 is required for 27SB pre-rRNA processing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Ribosome synthesis involves the concomitance of pre-rRNA processing and ribosomal protein assembly. In eukaryotes, this is a complex process that requires the participation of specific sequences and structures within the pre-rRNAs, at least 200 trans-acting factors and the ribosomal proteins. There is little information on the function of individual 60S ribosomal proteins in ribosome synthesis. Herein, we have analysed the contribution of ribosomal protein L35 in ribosome biogenesis. In vivo depletion of L35 results in a deficit in 60S ribosomal subunits and the appearance of half-mer polysomes. Pulse-chase, northern hybridization and primer extension analyses show that processing of the 27SB to 7S pre-rRNAs is strongly delayed upon L35 depletion. Most likely as a consequence of this, release of pre-60S ribosomal particles from the nucleolus to the nucleoplasm is also blocked. Deletion of RPL35A leads to similar although less pronounced phenotypes. Moreover, we show that L35 assembles in the nucleolus and binds to early pre-60S ribosomal particles. Finally, flow cytometry analysis indicated that L35-depleted cells mildly delay the G1 phase of the cell cycle. We conclude that L35 assembly is a prerequisite for the efficient cleavage of the internal transcribed spacer 2 at site C(2).

Pytheas S. cerevisiae 18S rRNA sample analysis

Project description:Mass spectrometry remains an important method for analysis of modified nucleosides ubiquitously present in cellular RNAs, in particular for ribosomal and transfer RNAs that play crucial roles in mRNA translation and decoding. Furthermore, modifications have effect on the lifetimes of nucleic acids in plasma and cells and are consequently incorporated into RNA therapeutics. To provide an analytical tool for sequence characterization of modified RNAs, we developed Pytheas, an open-source software package for automated analysis of tandem MS data for RNA. This dataset contains the analysis of S. cerevisiae 18S RNA, with identification of pseudouridines through a custom 2H isotopic labeling schema.

Growth-phase dependent control of rRNA synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [RNA-seq]

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most well-studied model organisms used in the scientific community. Its ease of manipulation, accessible growth conditions, short life cycle, and conserved eukaryotic metabolic pathways make it a useful model organism. Consequently, yeast has been used to investigate a myriad of phenomena, from microbial to human studies. Most of the research performed using this model organism utilizes yeast cell populations when they are growing exponentially, a growth phase aptly termed exponential or log phase. However, log phase encompasses several yeast generations and ranges several hours of yeast growth, meaning that there is a potential for variability during this “homogenous” growth phase. Cells in log phase require robust ribosome biogenesis to support their rapid growth and cell division. Interestingly, during log phase, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis (which is the first and rate limiting step in ribosome biosynthesis) has been shown to decrease prior to growth rate decline in stationary phase. In this study, we utilized several genomic and biochemical methods to elucidate the relationship between subphases of log phase and rRNA synthesis. Our results indicate that as yeast cells progress through subphases of log growth both of Pol I transcription and rRNA processing are repressed. Overall, this study establishes a growth phase dependent control of rRNA synthesis that unexpectedly begins prior to the switch to stationary phase (i.e. pre-diauxic shift) as a putative mechanism of anticipating nutrient starvation.

Assembly of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 60S ribosomal subunits: role of factors required for 27S pre-rRNA processing.

Project description:The precise functions of most of the ∼200 assembly factors and 79 ribosomal proteins required to construct yeast ribosomes in vivo remain largely unexplored. To better understand the roles of these proteins and the mechanisms driving ribosome biogenesis, we examined in detail one step in 60S ribosomal subunit assembly-processing of 27SA(3) pre-rRNA. Six of seven assembly factors required for this step (A(3) factors) are mutually interdependent for association with preribosomes. These A(3) factors are required to recruit Rrp17, one of three exonucleases required for this processing step. In the absence of A(3) factors, four ribosomal proteins adjacent to each other, rpL17, rpL26, rpL35, and rpL37, fail to assemble, and preribosomes are turned over by Rat1. We conclude that formation of a neighbourhood in preribosomes containing the A(3) factors establishes and maintains stability of functional preribosomes containing 27S pre-rRNAs. In the absence of these assembly factors, at least one exonuclease can switch from processing to turnover of pre-rRNA.

Identification of a new ribose methylation in the 18S rRNA of S. cerevisiae.

Project description:Methylation of ribose sugars at the 2'-OH group is one of the major chemical modifications in rRNA, and is catalyzed by snoRNA directed C/D box snoRNPs. Previous biochemical and computational analyses of the C/D box snoRNAs have identified and mapped a large number of 2'-OH ribose methylations in rRNAs. In the present study, we systematically analyzed ribose methylations of 18S rRNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using mung bean nuclease protection assay and RP-HPLC. Unexpectedly, we identified a hitherto unknown ribose methylation at position G562 in the helix 18 of 5' central domain of yeast 18S rRNA. Furthermore, we identified snR40 as being responsible to guide snoRNP complex to catalyze G562 ribose methylation, which makes it only second snoRNA known so far to target three ribose methylation sites: Gm562, Gm1271 in 18S rRNA, and Um898 in 25S rRNA. Our sequence and mutational analysis of snR40 revealed that snR40 uses the same D' box and methylation guide sequence for both Gm562 and Gm1271 methylation. With the identification of Gm562 and its corresponding snoRNA, complete set of ribose methylations of 18S rRNA and their corresponding snoRNAs have finally been established opening great prospects to understand the physiological function of these modifications.

Hierarchical recruitment into nascent ribosomes of assembly factors required for 27SB pre-rRNA processing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:To better define the roles of assembly factors required for eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis, we have focused on one specific step in maturation of yeast 60?S ribosomal subunits: processing of 27SB pre-ribosomal RNA. At least 14 assembly factors, the 'B-factor' proteins, are required for this step. These include most of the major functional classes of assembly factors: RNA-binding proteins, scaffolding protein, DEAD-box ATPases and GTPases. We have investigated the mechanisms by which these factors associate with assembling ribosomes. Our data establish a recruitment model in which assembly of the B-factors into nascent ribosomes ultimately leads to the recruitment of the GTPase Nog2. A more detailed analysis suggests that this occurs in a hierarchical manner via two largely independent recruiting pathways that converge on Nog2. Understanding recruitment has allowed us to better determine the order of association of all assembly factors functioning in one step of ribosome assembly. Furthermore, we have identified a novel subcomplex composed of the B-factors Nop2 and Nip7. Finally, we identified a means by which this step in ribosome biogenesis is regulated in concert with cell growth via the TOR protein kinase pathway. Inhibition of TOR kinase decreases association of Rpf2, Spb4, Nog1 and Nog2 with pre-ribosomes.

Human nucleolar protein 7 (NOL7) is required for early pre-rRNA accumulation and pre-18S rRNA processing.

Project description:The main components of the essential cellular process of eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis are highly conserved from yeast to humans. Among these, the U3 Associated Proteins (UTPs) are a small subunit processome subcomplex that coordinate the first two steps of ribosome biogenesis in transcription and pre-18S processing. While we have identified the human counterparts of most of the yeast Utps, the homologs of yeast Utp9 and Bud21 (Utp16) have remained elusive. In this study, we find that NOL7 is the likely ortholog of Bud21. Previously described as a tumour suppressor through regulation of antiangiogenic transcripts, we now show that NOL7 is required for early pre-rRNA accumulation and pre-18S rRNA processing in human cells. These roles lead to decreased protein synthesis and induction of the nucleolar stress response upon NOL7 depletion. Beyond Bud21's nonessential role in yeast, we establish human NOL7 as an essential UTP that is necessary to maintain both early pre-rRNA levels and processing.
