Widespread ribosome stalling in a genome-reduced bacterium and the need for translational quality control.

ABSTRACT: Trans-translation is a ubiquitous bacterial mechanism of ribosome rescue mediated by a transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) that adds a degradation tag to the truncated nascent polypeptide. Here, we characterize this quality control system in a genome-reduced bacterium, Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MPN), and perform a comparative analysis of protein quality control components in slow and fast-growing prokaryotes. We show in vivo that in MPN the sole quality control cytoplasmic protease (Lon) degrades efficiently tmRNA-tagged proteins. Analysis of tmRNA-mutants encoding a tag resistant to proteolysis reveals extensive tagging activity under normal growth. Unlike knockout strains, these mutants are viable demonstrating the requirement of tmRNA-mediated ribosome recycling. Chaperone and Lon steady-state levels maintain proteostasis in these mutants suggesting a model in which co-evolution of Lon and their substrates offer simple mechanisms of regulation without specialized degradation machineries. Finally, comparative analysis shows relative increase in Lon/Chaperone levels in slow-growing bacteria suggesting physiological adaptation to growth demand.

Sense codon-misassociated eRF1 elicits widespread ribosome stalling subjected to quality control

Project description:The ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) is a surveillance system for aberrant translation, sensing ribosome collisions. Although the molecular mechanism has been extensively studied, the endogenous targets of RQC in human cells were poorly understood. Here, starting from the study of codon specificity of eukaryotic termination factor eRF1, we unexpectedly find that misrecognition of UUA sense codon by eRF1 leads to ribosome collisions and provides the source of RQC substrates in humans. eRF1-selective Monosome-Seq and Disome-Seq reveal that eRF1 recruitment to ribosome was not restricted to the stop codons but also the sub-cognate sense codons, including the UUA codon. The UUA misrecognition by eRF1 causes ribosome collision without termination reaction. Remarkably, Disome-Seq with the depletion of ASCC3 and 4EHP, key factors in RQC, showed that ribosome stalled at UUA codons are the predominant sub-populations rescued by RQC. Failure to resolve ribosome collisions by RQC triggers p38 phosphorylation and upregulation of stress response transcription factor ATF3. This study presents the impact of sense codon misrecognition by the termination factor on translation homeostasis in human cells.

Ribosome profiling of the genome-reduced bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Project description:In order to study quantitatively the translation efficiency in the genome-reduced bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae, we performed ribosome profiling (ribo-seq) in standard growth conditions. We first tested whether the ribosome profiling method could be applied to M. pneumoniae and assessed the quality of the obtained data. Mpn present some characteristics that differ from other model bacterial species where ribosome profiling has been established, like the absence of a cell wall, different lipid composition and low number of ribosomes (200-300 per cell compared with ~55,000 in E. coli). Thus, several aspects of the original method (Ingolia et al., 2009) had to be adapted. As a reference, we also performed ribosome profiling in E. coli. We also calibrated the ribosome P-site shift from the 3’ end of ribosome protected footprints (RPFs) by analyzing the metagene profile of a sample treated with tetracycline.

Elongational stalling activates mitoribosome-associated quality control.

Project description:The human mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome) and associated proteins regulate the synthesis of 13 essential subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation complexes. We report the discovery of a mitoribosome-associated quality control pathway that responds to interruptions during elongation, and we present structures at 3.1- to 3.3-angstrom resolution of mitoribosomal large subunits trapped during ribosome rescue. Release factor homolog C12orf65 (mtRF-R) and RNA binding protein C6orf203 (MTRES1) eject the nascent chain and peptidyl transfer RNA (tRNA), respectively, from stalled ribosomes. Recruitment of mitoribosome biogenesis factors to these quality control intermediates suggests additional roles for these factors during mitoribosome rescue. We also report related cryo-electron microscopy structures (3.7 to 4.4 angstrom resolution) of elongating mitoribosomes bound to tRNAs, nascent polypeptides, the guanosine triphosphatase elongation factors mtEF-Tu and mtEF-G1, and the Oxa1L translocase.

Structural basis of co-translational quality control by ArfA and RF2 bound to ribosome.

Project description:Quality control mechanisms intervene appropriately when defective translation events occur, in order to preserve the integrity of protein synthesis. Rescue of ribosomes translating on messenger RNAs that lack stop codons is one of the co-translational quality control pathways. In many bacteria, ArfA recognizes stalled ribosomes and recruits the release factor RF2, which catalyses the termination of protein synthesis. Although an induced-fit mechanism of nonstop mRNA surveillance mediated by ArfA and RF2 has been reported, the molecular interaction between ArfA and RF2 in the ribosome that is responsible for the mechanism is unknown. Here we report an electron cryo-microscopy structure of ArfA and RF2 in complex with the 70S ribosome bound to a nonstop mRNA. The structure, which is consistent with our kinetic and biochemical data, reveals the molecular interactions that enable ArfA to specifically recruit RF2, not RF1, into the ribosome and to enable RF2 to release the truncated protein product in this co-translational quality control pathway. The positively charged C-terminal domain of ArfA anchors in the mRNA entry channel of the ribosome. Furthermore, binding of ArfA and RF2 induces conformational changes in the ribosomal decoding centre that are similar to those seen in other protein-involved decoding processes. Specific interactions between residues in the N-terminal domain of ArfA and RF2 help RF2 to adopt a catalytically competent conformation for peptide release. Our findings provide a framework for understanding recognition of the translational state of the ribosome by new proteins, and expand our knowledge of the decoding potential of the ribosome.

Ribosome and Translational Control in Stem Cells.

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult stem cells (ASCs) possess the remarkable capacity to self-renew while remaining poised to differentiate into multiple progenies in the context of a rapidly developing embryo or in steady-state tissues, respectively. This ability is controlled by complex genetic programs, which are dynamically orchestrated at different steps of gene expression, including chromatin remodeling, mRNA transcription, processing, and stability. In addition to maintaining stem cell homeostasis, these molecular processes need to be rapidly rewired to coordinate complex physiological modifications required to redirect cell fate in response to environmental clues, such as differentiation signals or tissue injuries. Although chromatin remodeling and mRNA expression have been extensively studied in stem cells, accumulating evidence suggests that stem cell transcriptomes and proteomes are poorly correlated and that stem cell properties require finely tuned protein synthesis. In addition, many studies have shown that the biogenesis of the translation machinery, the ribosome, is decisive for sustaining ESC and ASC properties. Therefore, these observations emphasize the importance of translational control in stem cell homeostasis and fate decisions. In this review, we will provide the most recent literature describing how ribosome biogenesis and translational control regulate stem cell functions and are crucial for accommodating proteome remodeling in response to changes in stem cell fate.

Widespread Co-translational RNA Decay Reveals Ribosome Dynamics

Project description:It is generally assumed that mRNAs undergoing translation are protected from decay. Here, we show that mRNAs are, in fact, co-translationally degraded. This is a widespread and conserved process affecting most genes, where 5′–3′ transcript degradation follows the last translating ribosome, producing an in vivo ribosomal footprint. By sequencing the ends of 5′ phosphorylated mRNA degradation intermediates, we obtain a genome-wide drug-free measurement of ribosome dynamics. We identify general translation termination pauses in both normal and stress conditions. In addition, we describe novel codon-specific ribosomal pausing sites in response to oxidative stress that are dependent on the RNase Rny1. Our approach is simple and straightforward and does not require the use of translational inhibitors or in vitro RNA footprinting that can alter ribosome protection patterns. RNA samples were quantified according to their 5’modification. Samples were quantified using 2 alternative methods. 5PSeq (measures 5’P RNAs) and 5PSeq-fragmented (measures the sequencing bias present in any sample by randomly fragmenting RNA, re-phosphorilating the 5’ends and subjecting the sample to 5PSeq; it is used as a negative control). Different strains of S. cerevisiae and S. pombe samples were analyzed. Cells were grown both in rich media (YPD or YES) and synthetic defined media (SD). Cells were subjected to different treatments such as inhibition of translation elongation with cyclohexamide (CHX), oxidative stress (0.2 mM H2O2) or inhibition of histidine biosyntesys (3-AT; 100mM 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole). S. cerevisiae samples grown in rich media were also analyzed after CHX treatment and sucrose fractionation into monosome and polyribosome fractionation. All samples were analyzed in biological duplicates.

Widespread translational control regulates retinal development in mouse.

Project description:Retinal development is tightly regulated to ensure the generation of appropriate cell types and the assembly of functional neuronal circuitry. Despite remarkable advances have been made in understanding regulation of gene expression during retinal development, how translational regulation guides retinogenesis is less understood. Here, we conduct a comprehensive translatome and transcriptome survey to the mouse retinogenesis from the embryonic to the adult stages. We discover thousands of genes that have dynamic changes at the translational level and pervasive translational regulation in a developmental stage-specific manner with specific biological functions. We further identify genes whose translational efficiencies are frequently controlled by changing usage in upstream open reading frame during retinal development. These genes are enriched for biological functions highly important to neurons, such as neuron projection organization and microtubule-based protein transport. Surprisingly, we discover hundreds of previously uncharacterized micropeptides, translated from putative long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs. We validate their protein products in vitro and in vivo and demonstrate their potentials in regulating retinal development. Together, our study presents a rich and complex landscape of translational regulation and provides novel insights into their roles during retinogenesis.
