Coupling of 5S RNP rotation with maturation of functional centers during large ribosomal subunit assembly.

ABSTRACT: The protein composition and structure of assembling 60S ribosomal subunits undergo numerous changes as pre-ribosomes transition from the nucleolus to the nucleoplasm. This includes stable anchoring of the Rpf2 subcomplex containing 5S rRNA, rpL5, rpL11, Rpf2 and Rrs1, which initially docks onto the flexible domain V of rRNA at earlier stages of assembly. In this work, we tested the function of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Rpf2 during these anchoring steps, by truncating this extension and assaying effects on middle stages of subunit maturation. The rpf2Δ255-344 mutation affects proper folding of rRNA helices H68-70 during anchoring of the Rpf2 subcomplex. In addition, several assembly factors (AFs) are absent from pre-ribosomes or in altered conformations. Consequently, major remodeling events fail to occur: rotation of the 5S RNP, maturation of the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) and the nascent polypeptide exit tunnel (NPET), and export of assembling subunits to the cytoplasm.

Suppressor mutations in Rpf2-Rrs1 or Rpl5 bypass the Cgr1 function for pre-ribosomal 5S RNP-rotation.

Project description:During eukaryotic 60S biogenesis, the 5S RNP requires a large rotational movement to achieve its mature position. Cryo-EM of the Rix1-Rea1 pre-60S particle has revealed the post-rotation stage, in which a gently undulating α-helix corresponding to Cgr1 becomes wedged between Rsa4 and the relocated 5S RNP, but the purpose of this insertion was unknown. Here, we show that cgr1 deletion in yeast causes a slow-growth phenotype and reversion of the pre-60S particle to the pre-rotation stage. However, spontaneous extragenic suppressors could be isolated, which restore growth and pre-60S biogenesis in the absence of Cgr1. Whole-genome sequencing reveals that the suppressor mutations map in the Rpf2-Rrs1 module and Rpl5, which together stabilize the unrotated stage of the 5S RNP. Thus, mutations in factors stabilizing the pre-rotation stage facilitate 5S RNP relocation upon deletion of Cgr1, but Cgr1 itself could stabilize the post-rotation stage.

A co-transcriptional ribosome assembly checkpoint controls nascent large ribosomal subunit maturation.

Project description:During transcription of eukaryotic ribosomal DNA in the nucleolus, assembly checkpoints exist that guarantee the formation of stable precursors of small and large ribosomal subunits. While the formation of an early large subunit assembly checkpoint precedes the separation of small and large subunit maturation, its mechanism of action and function remain unknown. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the yeast co-transcriptional large ribosomal subunit assembly intermediate that serves as a checkpoint. The structure provides the mechanistic basis for how quality-control pathways are established through co-transcriptional ribosome assembly factors, that structurally interrogate, remodel and, together with ribosomal proteins, cooperatively stabilize correctly folded pre-ribosomal RNA. Our findings thus provide a molecular explanation for quality control during eukaryotic ribosome assembly in the nucleolus.

Modular Assembly of the Bacterial Large Ribosomal Subunit.

Project description:The ribosome is a complex macromolecular machine and serves as an ideal system for understanding biological macromolecular assembly. Direct observation of ribosome assembly in vivo is difficult, as few intermediates have been isolated and thoroughly characterized. Herein, we deploy a genetic system to starve cells of an essential ribosomal protein, which results in the accumulation of assembly intermediates that are competent for maturation. Quantitative mass spectrometry and single-particle cryo-electron microscopy reveal 13 distinct intermediates, which were each resolved to ?4-5 Å resolution and could be placed in an assembly pathway. We find that ribosome biogenesis is a parallel process, that blocks of structured rRNA and proteins assemble cooperatively, and that the entire process is dynamic and can be "re-routed" through different pathways as needed. This work reveals the complex landscape of ribosome assembly in vivo and provides the requisite tools to characterize additional assembly pathways for ribosomes and other macromolecular machines.

Assembly landscape for the bacterial large ribosomal subunit.

Project description:Assembly of ribosomes in bacteria is highly efficient, taking ~2-3 min, but this makes the abundance of assembly intermediates very low, which is a challenge for mechanistic understanding. Genetic perturbations of the assembly process create bottlenecks where intermediates accumulate, facilitating structural characterization. We use cryo-electron microscopy, with iterative subclassification to identify intermediates in the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit from E. coli. The analysis of the ensemble of intermediates that spans the entire biogenesis pathway for the 50 S subunit was facilitated by a dimensionality reduction and cluster picking approach using PCA-UMAP-HDBSCAN. The identity of the cooperative folding units in the RNA with associated proteins is revealed, and the hierarchy of these units reveals a complete assembly map for all RNA and protein components. The assembly generally proceeds co-transcriptionally, with some flexibility in the landscape to ensure efficiency for this central cellular process under a variety of growth conditions.

Assembly and early maturation of large subunit precursors.

Project description:The eukaryotic ribosome is assembled through a complex process involving more than 200 factors. As preribosomal RNA is transcribed, assembly factors bind the nascent pre-rRNA and guide its correct folding, modification, and cleavage. While these early events in the assembly of the small ribosomal subunit have been relatively well characterized, assembly of the large subunit precursors, or pre-60S, is less well understood. Recent structures of nucleolar intermediates of large subunit assembly have shed light on the role of many early large subunit assembly factors, but how these particles emerge is still unknown. Here, we use the expression and purification of truncated pre-rRNAs to examine the initial assembly of pre-60S particles. Using this approach, we can recapitulate the early recruitment of large subunit assembly factors mainly to the domains I, II, and VI of the assembling 25S rRNA.

Structural insights into coordinating 5S RNP rotation with ITS2 pre-RNA processing during ribosome formation.

Project description:The rixosome defined in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and humans performs diverse roles in pre-ribosomal RNA processing and gene silencing. Here, we isolate and describe the conserved rixosome from Chaetomium thermophilum, which consists of two sub-modules, the sphere-like Rix1-Ipi3-Ipi1 and the butterfly-like Las1-Grc3 complex, connected by a flexible linker. The Rix1 complex of the rixosome utilizes Sda1 as landing platform on nucleoplasmic pre-60S particles to wedge between the 5S rRNA tip and L1-stalk, thereby facilitating the 180° rotation of the immature 5S RNP towards its mature conformation. Upon rixosome positioning, the other sub-module with Las1 endonuclease and Grc3 polynucleotide-kinase can reach a strategic position at the pre-60S foot to cleave and 5' phosphorylate the nearby ITS2 pre-rRNA. Finally, inward movement of the L1 stalk permits the flexible Nop53 N-terminus with its AIM motif to become positioned at the base of the L1-stalk to facilitate Mtr4 helicase-exosome participation for completing ITS2 removal. Thus, the rixosome structure elucidates the coordination of two central ribosome biogenesis events, but its role in gene silencing may adapt similar strategies.

Sequential domain assembly of ribosomal protein S3 drives 40S subunit maturation.

Project description:Eukaryotic ribosomes assemble by association of ribosomal RNA with ribosomal proteins into nuclear precursor particles, which undergo a complex maturation pathway coordinated by non-ribosomal assembly factors. Here, we provide functional insights into how successive structural re-arrangements in ribosomal protein S3 promote maturation of the 40S ribosomal subunit. We show that S3 dimerizes and is imported into the nucleus with its N-domain in a rotated conformation and associated with the chaperone Yar1. Initial assembly of S3 with 40S precursors occurs via its C-domain, while the N-domain protrudes from the 40S surface. Yar1 is replaced by the assembly factor Ltv1, thereby fixing the S3 N-domain in the rotated orientation and preventing its 40S association. Finally, Ltv1 release, triggered by phosphorylation, and flipping of the S3 N-domain into its final position results in the stable integration of S3. Such a stepwise assembly may represent a new paradigm for the incorporation of ribosomal proteins.

rRNA maturation in yeast cells depleted of large ribosomal subunit proteins.

Project description:The structural constituents of the large eukaryotic ribosomal subunit are 3 ribosomal RNAs, namely the 25S, 5.8S and 5S rRNA and about 46 ribosomal proteins (r-proteins). They assemble and mature in a highly dynamic process that involves more than 150 proteins and 70 small RNAs. Ribosome biogenesis starts in the nucleolus, continues in the nucleoplasm and is completed after nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation of the subunits in the cytoplasm. In this work we created 26 yeast strains, each of which conditionally expresses one of the large ribosomal subunit (LSU) proteins. In vivo depletion of the analysed LSU r-proteins was lethal and led to destabilisation and degradation of the LSU and/or its precursors. Detailed steady state and metabolic pulse labelling analyses of rRNA precursors in these mutant strains showed that LSU r-proteins can be grouped according to their requirement for efficient progression of different steps of large ribosomal subunit maturation. Comparative analyses of the observed phenotypes and the nature of r-protein-rRNA interactions as predicted by current atomic LSU structure models led us to discuss working hypotheses on i) how individual r-proteins control the productive processing of the major 5' end of 5.8S rRNA precursors by exonucleases Rat1p and Xrn1p, and ii) the nature of structural characteristics of nascent LSUs that are required for cytoplasmic accumulation of nascent subunits but are nonessential for most of the nuclear LSU pre-rRNA processing events.

The GTPase Nog1 co-ordinates the assembly, maturation and quality control of distant ribosomal functional centers.

Project description:Eukaryotic ribosome precursors acquire translation competence in the cytoplasm through stepwise release of bound assembly factors, and proofreading of their functional centers. In case of the pre-60S, these steps include removal of placeholders Rlp24, Arx1 and Mrt4 that prevent premature loading of the ribosomal protein eL24, the protein-folding machinery at the polypeptide exit tunnel (PET), and the ribosomal stalk, respectively. Here, we reveal that sequential ATPase and GTPase activities license release factors Rei1 and Yvh1 to trigger Arx1 and Mrt4 removal. Drg1-ATPase activity removes Rlp24 from the GTPase Nog1 on the pre-60S; consequently, the C-terminal tail of Nog1 is extracted from the PET. These events enable Rei1 to probe PET integrity and catalyze Arx1 release. Concomitantly, Nog1 eviction from the pre-60S permits peptidyl transferase center maturation, and allows Yvh1 to mediate Mrt4 release for stalk assembly. Thus, Nog1 co-ordinates the assembly, maturation and quality control of distant functional centers during ribosome formation.
