Compensating Complete Loss of Signal Recognition Particle During Co-translational Protein Targeting by the Translation Speed and Accuracy.

ABSTRACT: Signal recognition particle (SRP) is critical for delivering co-translational proteins to the bacterial inner membrane. Previously, we identified SRP suppressors in Escherichia coli that inhibit translation initiation and elongation, which provided insights into the mechanism of bypassing the requirement of SRP. Suppressor mutations tended to be located in regions that govern protein translation under evolutionary pressure. To test this hypothesis, we re-executed the suppressor screening of SRP. Here, we isolated a novel SRP suppressor mutation located in the Shine-Dalgarno sequence of the S10 operon, which partially offset the targeting defects of SRP-dependent proteins. We found that the suppressor mutation decreased the protein translation rate, which extended the time window of protein targeting. This increased the possibility of the correct localization of inner membrane proteins. Furthermore, the fidelity of translation was decreased in suppressor cells, suggesting that the quality control of translation was inactivated to provide an advantage in tolerating toxicity caused by the loss of SRP. Our results demonstrated that the inefficient protein targeting due to SRP deletion can be rescued through modulating translational speed and accuracy.

Signal recognition particle mediates post-translational targeting in eukaryotes.

Project description:Signal recognition particle (SRP) plays a central role in the delivery of classical secretory and membrane proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). All nascent chains studied to date dissociate from SRP once released from the ribosome, thereby supporting a strictly cotranslational mode of action for eukaryotic SRP. We now report a novel post-translational function for SRP in the targeting of tail-anchored (TA) proteins to the ER. TA proteins possess a hydrophobic membrane insertion sequence at their C-terminus such that it can only emerge from the ribosome after translation is terminated. We show that SRP can associate post-translationally with this type of ER-targeting signal, and deliver newly synthesised TA proteins to the ER membrane by a pathway dependent upon GTP and the SRP receptor. We find that dependency upon this SRP-dependent route is precursor specific, and propose a unifying model to describe the biogenesis of TA proteins in vivo.

Translation elongation regulates substrate selection by the signal recognition particle.

Project description:The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a universally conserved cellular machinery responsible for delivering membrane and secretory proteins to the proper cellular destination. The precise mechanism by which fidelity is achieved by the SRP pathway within the in vivo environment is yet to be understood. Previous studies have focused on the SRP pathway in isolation. Here we describe another important factor that modulates substrate selection by the SRP pathway: the ongoing synthesis of the nascent polypeptide chain by the ribosome. A slower translation elongation rate rescues the targeting defect of substrate proteins bearing mutant, suboptimal signal sequences both in vitro and in vivo. Consistent with a kinetic origin of this effect, similar rescue of protein targeting was also observed with mutant SRP receptors or SRP RNAs that specifically compromise the kinetics of SRP-receptor interaction during protein targeting. These data are consistent with a model in which ongoing protein translation is in constant kinetic competition with the targeting of the nascent proteins by the SRP and provides an important factor to regulate the fidelity of substrate selection by the SRP.

Interaction of signal-recognition particle 54 GTPase domain and signal-recognition particle RNA in the free signal-recognition particle.

Project description:The signal-recognition particle (SRP) is a ubiquitous protein-RNA complex that targets proteins to cellular membranes for insertion or secretion. A key player in SRP-mediated protein targeting is the evolutionarily conserved core consisting of the SRP RNA and the multidomain protein SRP54. Communication between the SRP54 domains is critical for SRP function, where signal sequence binding at the M domain directs receptor binding at the GTPase domain (NG domain). These SRP activities are linked to domain rearrangements, for which the role of SRP RNA is not clear. In free SRP, a direct interaction of the GTPase domain with SRP RNA has been proposed but has never been structurally verified. In this study, we present the crystal structure at 2.5-A resolution of the SRP54-SRP19-SRP RNA complex of Methanococcus jannaschii SRP. The structure reveals an RNA-bound conformation of the SRP54 GTPase domain, in which the domain is spatially well separated from the signal peptide binding site. The association of both the N and G domains with SRP RNA in free SRP provides further structural evidence for the pivotal role of SRP RNA in the regulation of the SRP54 activity.

Molecular mechanism of co-translational protein targeting by the signal recognition particle.

Project description:The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a key component of the cellular machinery that couples the ongoing synthesis of proteins to their proper localization, and has often served as a paradigm for understanding the molecular basis of protein localization within the cell. The SRP pathway exemplifies several key molecular events required for protein targeting to cellular membranes: the specific recognition of signal sequences on cargo proteins, the efficient delivery of cargo to the target membrane, the productive unloading of cargo to the translocation machinery and the precise spatial and temporal coordination of these molecular events. Here we highlight recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this pathway, and discuss new questions raised by these findings.

Recognition of a signal peptide by the signal recognition particle.

Project description:Targeting of proteins to appropriate subcellular compartments is a crucial process in all living cells. Secretory and membrane proteins usually contain an amino-terminal signal peptide, which is recognized by the signal recognition particle (SRP) when nascent polypeptide chains emerge from the ribosome. The SRP-ribosome nascent chain complex is then targeted through its GTP-dependent interaction with SRP receptor to the protein-conducting channel on endoplasmic reticulum membrane in eukaryotes or plasma membrane in bacteria. A universally conserved component of SRP (refs 1, 2), SRP54 or its bacterial homologue, fifty-four homologue (Ffh), binds the signal peptides, which have a highly divergent sequence divisible into a positively charged n-region, an h-region commonly containing 8-20 hydrophobic residues and a polar c-region. No structure has been reported that exemplifies SRP54 binding of any signal sequence. Here we have produced a fusion protein between Sulfolobus solfataricus SRP54 (Ffh) and a signal peptide connected via a flexible linker. This fusion protein oligomerizes in solution through interaction between the SRP54 and signal peptide moieties belonging to different chains, and it is functional, as demonstrated by its ability to bind SRP RNA and SRP receptor FtsY. We present the crystal structure at 3.5 A resolution of an SRP54-signal peptide complex in the dimer, which reveals how a signal sequence is recognized by SRP54.

SRPDB (signal recognition particle database).

Project description:The signal recognition particle database (SRPDB) is maintained at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, Texas, and organizes SRP-related information about SRP RNA, SRP proteins and the SRP receptor. SRPDB is accessible on the WWW at the URL http://psyche.uthct.edu/dbs/SRPDB/SRPDB.++ +html. A mirror site of the SRPDB is located in Europe at the University of Göteborg, Sweden (http://www.medkem. gu.se/dbs/SRPDB/SRPDB.html ). This release of SRPDB adds 10 new SRP RNA sequences (a total of 117 SRP RNAs), four protein SRP19 sequences (a total of 15), seven new SRP54 (ffh) sequences (a total of 52), and eight sequences of the SRP receptor alpha subunit (FtsY) (total of 36). Sequences are arranged in alphabetical and phylogenetic order and alignments are provided which highlight base paired and conserved regions. SPRDB also provides motifs to find new sequences, a brief introduction to SRP function in protein secretion, numerous SRP RNA secondary structure diagrams, 3-D SRP RNA models, and recently obtained crystal structure PDB coordinates of the human SRP54m domain.

Signal Recognition Particle in Human Diseases.

Project description:The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a ribonucleoprotein complex with dual functions. It co-translationally targets proteins with a signal sequence to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and protects their mRNA from degradation. If SRP is depleted or cannot recognize the signal sequence, then the Regulation of Aberrant Protein Production (RAPP) is activated, which results in the loss of secretory protein mRNA. If SRP recognizes the substrates but is unable to target them to ER, they may mislocalize or degrade. All these events lead to dramatic consequence for protein biogenesis, activating protein quality control pathways, and creating pressure on cell physiology, and might lead to the pathogenesis of disease. Indeed, SRP dysfunction is involved in many different human diseases, including: congenital neutropenia; idiopathic inflammatory myopathy; viral, protozoal, and prion infections; and cancer. In this work, we analyze diseases caused by SRP failure and discuss their possible molecular mechanisms.

SRPassing Co-translational Targeting: The Role of the Signal Recognition Particle in Protein Targeting and mRNA Protection.

Project description:Signal recognition particle (SRP) is an RNA and protein complex that exists in all domains of life. It consists of one protein and one noncoding RNA in some bacteria. It is more complex in eukaryotes and consists of six proteins and one noncoding RNA in mammals. In the eukaryotic cytoplasm, SRP co-translationally targets proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum and prevents misfolding and aggregation of the secretory proteins in the cytoplasm. It was demonstrated recently that SRP also possesses an earlier unknown function, the protection of mRNAs of secretory proteins from degradation. In this review, we analyze the progress in studies of SRPs from different organisms, SRP biogenesis, its structure, and function in protein targeting and mRNA protection.

Signal recognition particle components in the nucleolus.

Project description:The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a ribonucleoprotein composed of an Alu domain and an S domain. The S domain contains unique sequence SRP RNA and four SRP proteins: SRP19, SRP54, SRP68, and SRP72. SRP interacts with ribosomes to bring translating membrane and secreted proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for proper processing. Additionally, SRP RNA is a member of a family of small nonribosomal RNAs found recently in the nucleolus, suggesting that the nucleolus is more plurifunctional than previously realized. It was therefore of interest to determine whether other SRP components localize to this intranuclear site. In transfected rat fibroblasts, green fluorescent protein fusions of SRP19, SRP68, and SRP72 localized to the nucleolus, as well as to the cytoplasm, as expected. SRP68 also accumulated in the ER, consistent with its affinity for the ER-bound SRP receptor. SRP54 was detected in the cytoplasm as a green fluorescent protein fusion and in immunofluorescence studies, but was not detected in the nucleolus. In situ hybridization experiments also revealed endogenous SRP RNA in the nucleolus. These results demonstrate that SRP RNA and three SRP proteins visit the nucleolus, suggesting that partial SRP assembly, or another unidentified activity of the SRP components, occurs at the nucleolus. SRP54 apparently interacts with nascent SRP beyond the nucleolus, consistent with in vitro reconstitution experiments showing that SRP19 must bind to SRP RNA before SRP54 binds. Our findings support the notion that the nucleolus is the site of assembly and/or interaction between the family of ribonucleoproteins involved in protein synthesis, in addition to ribosomes themselves.

Prediction of signal recognition particle RNA genes.

Project description:We describe a method for prediction of genes that encode the RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP). A heuristic search for the strongly conserved helix 8 motif of SRP RNA is combined with covariance models that are based on previously known SRP RNA sequences. By screening available genomic sequences we have identified a large number of novel SRP RNA genes and we can account for at least one gene in every genome that has been completely sequenced. Novel bacterial RNAs include that of Thermotoga maritima, which, unlike all other non-gram-positive eubacteria, is predicted to have an Alu domain. We have also found the RNAs of Lactococcus lactis and Staphylococcus to have an unusual UGAC tetraloop in helix 8 instead of the normal GNRA sequence. An investigation of yeast RNAs reveals conserved sequence elements of the Alu domain that aid in the analysis of these RNAs. Analysis of the human genome reveals only two likely genes, both on chromosome 14. Our method for SRP RNA gene prediction is the first convenient tool for this task and should be useful in genome annotation.
