Influence of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate on some ribosomal functions required for peptide elongation.

ABSTRACT: 1. Polyribosomes and ribosomal subunits from rat liver were adsorbed on a cellulosic ion-exchange adsorbent, freeze-dried and extracted with organic solvents. The activity of extracted particles in peptide elongation was tested in the presence of purified peptideelongation factors. 2. Chloroform-methanol mixture (2:1, v/v) extracted 1.87+/-0.15 pmol of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate/pmol of the smaller ribosomal subunit and 0.92+/-0.11 pmol/pmol of the larger subunit. 3. In the presence of transferase I, extracted polyribosomes and 40S subunits bound more phenylalanyl-tRNA than did control non-extracted particles. The same binding as in control mixtures was obtained with extracted particles supplemented with cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate in quantities corresponding to those extracted. 4. The polymerization of phenylalanine was greatly decreased with extracted polyribosomes and subunits and addition of the cholesteryl ester could not fully restore the original activity. 5. Extraction significantly decreased the activity of the P site of peptidyl transferase and normal activity was recovered after the addition of the ester. The A site of peptidyl transferase in extracted polyribosomes showed an increased activity when compared with non-extracted polyribosomes. 6. Cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate apparently affects the function of the ribosomal A site and peptidyl transferase site and probably also that of the guanosine triphosphatase site and P site. The presence of different amounts of the ester in polyribosomes may be one of the mechanisms modulating peptide elongation at the ribosomal level.

The role of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate in peptide elongation reactions.

Project description:1. Peptide-elongation factors were purified from rat liver and human tonsils and the contents of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate were determined in fractions obtained during enzyme purification. The relative contents of this compound in purified enzyme preparations was several times higher than that in the crude starting material. Elongation factors from human tonsils contained a significantly larger quantity of the cholesteryl ester than enzyme from rat liver. 2. Transfer enzymes extracted with various organic solvents showed variable decreased activities in both binding and peptidization assay. The decrease of enzymic activity was proportional to the amount of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate extracted from a given enzymic preparation. In systems containing both extracted elongation factors the polyphenylalanine synthesis was limited by the residual activity of the less active transfer factor. 3. The original enzymic activity of extracted transferases was fully recovered by the addition of pure cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate in quantities corresponding to those extracted. 4. Increase of the relative contents of this cholesteryl ester during enzyme purification, decrease of the enzymic activity after the extraction and its recovery by the addition of this compound indicates that the presence of this ester in elongation factors is essential for the normal function of these enzymes.

Protein synthesis in the liver of rats injected with cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate.

Project description:1. Rats were injected intraperitoneally with cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate and killed after various intervals of time up to 3 days; ribosomes and cell sap were isolated from their liver tissue. These fractions were tested for their ability to participate in protein synthesis. 2. Protein synthesis in complete systems containing ribosomes, cell sap and all necessary cofactors was significantly enhanced at 12 and 72h after the injection and significantly inhibited at 24h. At early times after injection isolated ribosomes had a slightly enhanced ability to bind nRNA. Peptide-elongation processes (i.e. binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to ribosomes, peptidyl transfer and polyphenylalanine synthesis) showed significant stimulation or inhibition depending on the time after injection of the ester. 3. A correlation was found between the ability of cell sap to stimulate polyphenylalanine synthesis and the relative cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate content in the postmicrosomal supernatant at different time-intervals after administration of the ester. No significant changes were found in its content in the whole liver tissue. 4. Since the injected ester has previously been shown to accumulate in some enzymic fractions, the changes in its relative content may represent a regulatory mechanism modulating the rate of protein synthesis.

Cholesteryl esters are bound by a peptide-initiation and a peptide-elongation factor.

Project description:Significantly higher quantities of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate than of cholesteryl laurate and cholesteryl palmitate are bound by a homogeneous peptide-initiation factor and purified peptide-elongation factor 1. Cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate may function as a specific allosteric modifier changing the conformation of protein synthesis factors and thus modulating the activity of their binding sites.

Effect of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate on the activity of some amino acid-transfer ribonucleic acid ligases from mammalian tissues.

Project description:1. l-Tyrosine-, l-alanine-, l-tryptophan- and l-threonine-tRNA ligases (where tRNA is transfer RNA) were purified from mammalian tissues and the relative contents of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate were determined in fractions obtained during the isolation. Purified enzymes were extracted with various organic solvents. 2. Cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate contents in purified ligases were up to 210-fold that in the starting material. Different enzymes showed different contents of this cholesteryl ester. 3. Extracted enzymes lost in most cases their ability to catalyse formation of the aminoacylhydroxamate and aminoacyl-tRNA complexes. Enzymes extracted with various solvents showed a variable decreased activity. 4. The original activity could be restored to 70-100% by the addition of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate. Cholesteryl palmitate, cholesteryl margarate and cholesteryl stearate were inactive in this respect. 5. Incubation mixtures of extracted enzymes with cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate added showed an initial delay in the time-course of both reactions assayed. 6. It is concluded that the effect of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate on the activity of amino acid-tRNA ligases seems to be specific and that this compound may play some role in the function of these enzymes.

Intermediate reactions in the binding of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid to rat liver ribosomes. the interaction of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate.

Project description:1. Transferase I from rat liver extracted with iso-octane binds significantly less aminoacyl-tRNA than the non-extracted enzyme. The original activity can be fully restored by the addition of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate. The binding capacity for GTP is not affected by the extraction. 2. In the presence of extracted transferase I the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to ribosomes is decreased to 11-26% and the simultaneous binding of GTP to 32-43%. Cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate induces a full reactivation of the extracted enzyme in both respects. 3. Extracted complexes A (aminoacyl-tRNA-GTP-transferase I) become bound to ribosomes to the same extent as the corresponding non-extracted preparations. 4. It is concluded that cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate interacts with the binding site of transferase I for aminoacyl-tRNA and secondarily with that for GTP. It does not affect the binding site for ribosomes.

Effect of lipids, in particular cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate, on the incorporation of labelled amino acids into transfer ribonucleic acid in vitro.

Project description:1. Rat liver pH5 enzymes and cell sap extracted with various organic solvents showed a variable decreased incorporation of labelled amino acids into s-RNA (;soluble' or transfer RNA) in vitro. 2. The original enzymic activity could be fully restored, though at different rates, by the addition of lipid extracts in quantities corresponding to those originally present. 3. Of the main lipid groups separated from the extract, only free cholesterol and cholesteryl esters were able to reactivate the extracted pH5 enzymes in the same way as the whole lipid extract. 4. Addition of pure cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate also fully restored the enzymic activity. 5. There was no energy-dependent incorporation of labelled amino acids into ribosomal protein in the presence of extracted cell sap. Addition of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate fully restored the activity of the cell sap to incorporate labelled leucine and lysine into ribosomal protein and enhanced the incorporation of labelled protein hydrolysate and phenylalanine over the level found with the corresponding non-extracted preparations. 6. It is concluded that lipids play an important role in the synthesis of aminoacyl-s-RNA complexes and that cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate may be the active lipid in this respect.

Rate of transcription elongation and sequence-specific pausing by RNA polymerase I directly influence ribosomal RNA processing.

Project description:One of the first steps in ribosome biogenesis is transcription of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) by RNA polymerase I (Pol I). Processing of the resultant ribosomal RNA (rRNA) begins co-transcriptionally and perturbation of Pol I transcription elongation results in defective rRNA processing. Mechanistic insight regarding the link between transcription elongation and ribosome assembly is lacking due to limited in vivo methods to assay Pol I transcription. Here, we use native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) with a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing a point mutation in Pol I, rpa190-F1205H, which results in impaired rRNA processing and ribosome assembly. We previously demonstrated that this mutation caused a mild reduction in the transcription elongation rate of Pol I in vitro, however, transcription elongation by the mutant has not been characterized in vivo. Here, our findings demonstrate that the mutant Pol I has an increased pause propensity during processive transcription elongation both in vitro and in vivo. NET-seq reveals that rpa190-F1205H Pol I displays alternative pause site preferences in vivo. Specifically, the mutant is sensitized to A/G residues in the RNA:DNA hybrid and at the last incorporated nucleotide position. Furthermore, both NET-seq and EM analysis of Miller chromatin spreads reveal pileups of rpa190-F1205H Pol I throughout the rDNA, particularly at the 5' end of the 35S gene. This combination of in vitro and in vivo analyses of the Pol I mutant provides novel insights into Pol I elongation properties and indicates how these properties are crucial for efficient co-transcriptional rRNA processing and ribosome assembly.

Identification of an Auxiliary Leader Peptide-Binding Protein Required for Azoline Formation in Ribosomal Natural Products.

Project description:Thiazole/oxazole-modified microcins (TOMMs) are a class of post-translationally modified peptide natural products bearing azole and azoline heterocycles. The first step in heterocycle formation is carried out by a two component cyclodehydratase comprised of an E1 ubiquitin-activating and a YcaO superfamily member. Recent studies have demonstrated that the YcaO domain is responsible for cyclodehydration, while the TOMM E1 homologue is responsible for peptide recognition during azoline formation. Although all characterized TOMM biosynthetic clusters contain this canonical TOMM E1 homologue (C domain), we also identified a second, highly divergent E1 superfamily member, annotated as an Ocin-ThiF-like protein (F protein), associated with more than 300 TOMM biosynthetic clusters. Here we describe the in vitro reconstitution of a novel TOMM cyclodehydratase from such a cluster and demonstrate that this auxiliary protein is required for cyclodehydration. Using a combination of biophysical techniques, we demonstrate that the F protein, rather than the C domain, is responsible for engaging the peptide substrate. The C domain instead appears to serve as a scaffolding protein, bringing the catalytic YcaO domain and the peptide binding Ocin-ThiF-like protein into proximity. Our findings provide an updated biosynthetic framework that provides a foundation for the characterization and reconstitution of approximately 25% of bioinformatically identifiable TOMM synthetases.

Control of ribosomal subunit rotation by elongation factor G.

Project description:Protein synthesis by the ribosome requires the translocation of transfer RNAs and messenger RNA by one codon after each peptide bond is formed, a reaction that requires ribosomal subunit rotation and is catalyzed by the guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) elongation factor G (EF-G). We determined 3 angstrom resolution x-ray crystal structures of EF-G complexed with a nonhydrolyzable guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) analog and bound to the Escherichia coli ribosome in different states of ribosomal subunit rotation. The structures reveal that EF-G binding to the ribosome stabilizes switch regions in the GTPase active site, resulting in a compact EF-G conformation that favors an intermediate state of ribosomal subunit rotation. These structures suggest that EF-G controls the translocation reaction by cycles of conformational rigidity and relaxation before and after GTP hydrolysis.
