A sub-population of rat liver membrane-bound ribosomes that are detached in vitro by carcinogens and centrifugation.

ABSTRACT: The chemical-carcinogen-induced detachment of ribosomes from rat liver endoplasmic reticulum was studied in vitro. Incubation of postmitochondrial supernatant with 0.2 mM-diethylnitrosamine or N-2-acetylaminofluorene removed approx. 16% of membrane-bound ribosomes, measured as differences in RNA/protein values of membrane separated from unbound ribosomes by flotation. These ribosomes are also detached by exposure to high centrifugal forces (160000g) and are among those removed by NADPH-catalysed lipid peroxidation. Extensive lipid peroxidation prohibits any measurement. The ribosomes (polyribosomes) removed are not those detached from the membrane by exposure to high KC1 concentrations (loosely bound) or high KC1 concentrations in the presence of puromycin (tightly bound). It is concluded then that centrifugally labile and carcinogen-sensitive represent a previously unreported sub-population of membrane-bound ribosomes.

Contamination of free-ribosome fractions by detached previously membrane-bound ribosomes.

Project description:A rough-membrane fraction isolated from rat liver by a procedure designed to prevent membrane denaturation was subjected to the gradient treatment normally used to isolate free ribosomes. Under these conditions, at most 20% of the ribosomes were detached from membrane with less than 5% sedimenting into the free-polyribosome pellet.

A comparative study of ribonuclease hydrolysis of rat brain-cortex and liver membrane-bound ribosomes.

Project description:Because it has been proposed that the ribosome-membrane interaction is different in endoplasmic reticulum derived from a non-secretory and secretory cell we undertook a study to determine whether attachment of the ribosome to the membrane involved ribosomal RNA and if the rRNA in ribosomes derived from the two classes of cell possessed an altered susceptibility to RNAase (ribonuclease) hydrolysis. We found that brain ribosomes appeared to possess more regions accessible to nuclease attack, independent of whether a sequence-dependent RNAase (T(1)) or a sterically hindered RNAase bound to Enzite polymer was employed. These results were independent of whether the ribosomes were membrane-bound or detached from the endoplasmic reticulum membranes, but at high RNAase concentration these differences became negligible. No conclusions, however, could be drawn as to whether ribosomal RNA is involved in the attachment of the ribosome to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, because of the presence of endogeneous membrane-associated RNAases. Analysis of the rRNA fragments by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis suggests that the sites available for attack by low concentrations of nuclease in bound-ribosomes derived from brain cortex are different from those of liver.

BiP/GRP78 Mediates ERAD Targeting of Proteins Produced by Membrane-Bound Ribosomes Stalled at the STOP-Codon.

Project description:Translational stalling of ribosome bound to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane requires an accurate clearance of the associated polypeptides, which is not completely understood in mammals. We characterized in mammalian cells the model of ribosomal stalling at the STOP-codon based on proteins tagged at the C-terminus with the picornavirus 2A peptide followed by a termination codon instead of the Proline (2A*). We exploited the 2A* stalling model to characterize the pathway of degradation of ER-targeted polypeptides. We report that the ER chaperone BiP/GRP78 is a new main factor involved. Moreover, degradation of the ER-stalled polypeptides required the activities of the AAA-ATPase VCP/p97, its associated deubiquitinylase YOD1, the ribosome-associated ubiquitin ligase Listerin and the proteasome. In human proteome, we found two human C-terminal amino acid sequences that cause similar stalling at the STOP-codon. Our data suggest that translational stalling at the ER membrane activates protein degradation at the interface of ribosomal- and ER-associated quality control systems.

Sequence-dependent elongation dynamics on macrolide-bound ribosomes.

Project description:The traditional view of macrolide antibiotics as plugs inside the ribosomal nascent peptide exit tunnel (NPET) has lately been challenged in favor of a more complex, heterogeneous mechanism, where drug-peptide interactions determine the fate of a translating ribosome. To investigate these highly dynamic processes, we applied single-molecule tracking of elongating ribosomes during inhibition of elongation by erythromycin of several nascent chains, including ErmCL and H-NS, which were shown to be, respectively, sensitive and resistant to erythromycin. Peptide sequence-specific changes were observed in translation elongation dynamics in the presence of a macrolide-obstructed NPET. Elongation rates were not severely inhibited in general by the presence of the drug; instead, stalls or pauses were observed as abrupt events. The dynamic pathways of nascent-chain-dependent elongation pausing in the presence of macrolides determine the fate of the translating ribosome stalling or readthrough.

Genome-wide analysis of thylakoid-bound ribosomes in maize reveals principles of cotranslational targeting to the thylakoid membrane.

Project description:Chloroplast genomes encode ∼ 37 proteins that integrate into the thylakoid membrane. The mechanisms that target these proteins to the membrane are largely unexplored. We used ribosome profiling to provide a comprehensive, high-resolution map of ribosome positions on chloroplast mRNAs in separated membrane and soluble fractions in maize seedlings. The results show that translation invariably initiates off the thylakoid membrane and that ribosomes synthesizing a subset of membrane proteins subsequently become attached to the membrane in a nuclease-resistant fashion. The transition from soluble to membrane-attached ribosomes occurs shortly after the first transmembrane segment in the nascent peptide has emerged from the ribosome. Membrane proteins whose translation terminates before emergence of a transmembrane segment are translated in the stroma and targeted to the membrane posttranslationally. These results indicate that the first transmembrane segment generally comprises the signal that links ribosomes to thylakoid membranes for cotranslational integration. The sole exception is cytochrome f, whose cleavable N-terminal cpSecA-dependent signal sequence engages the thylakoid membrane cotranslationally. The distinct behavior of ribosomes synthesizing the inner envelope protein CemA indicates that sorting signals for the thylakoid and envelope membranes are distinguished cotranslationally. In addition, the fractionation behavior of ribosomes in polycistronic transcription units encoding both membrane and soluble proteins adds to the evidence that the removal of upstream ORFs by RNA processing is not typically required for the translation of internal genes in polycistronic chloroplast mRNAs.

Changes in free and membrane-bound ribosomes during the development of chick liver. A new cell-fractionation approach.

Project description:A major difficulty in studying quantitative changes in free and membrane-bound ribosomes in a tissue under different physiological conditions is that membrane-bound ribosomes are not usually recovered quantitatively in a conventional microsomal fraction. This problem was resolved for developing chick liver by determining the conditions for the isolation of a microsomal fraction containing the highest practicable yield of rough vesicles, and then separating it into free-ribosome- and rough-vesicle-containing fractions. With the aid of a marker enzyme for the microsomal membranes and the RNA content of the recovered membrane-bound ribosomes, it was possible to correct for the recovery of rough vesicles and hence to determine the concentration of membrane-bound ribosomes in the homogenate. Despite the fact that morphological studies have suggested that most of the cellular ribosomes are not bound to membrane in chick liver cells at the earliest developmental age studied (6 days of egg incubation), 49% of the total ribosomes were found to be membrane-bound by using the new fractionation technique. This fraction increased (to 66%) during development. The discrepancy between the cell-fractionation and morphological approaches could not be attributed to artifacts of the separation method but rather to difficulties inherent in the morphological approach.

Yeast Membrane Bound Polysome

Project description:Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc. mRNA species bound to membrane-associated polysomes were separated from other mRNAs by sedimentation equilibrium or sedimentation velocity. The distribution of individual transcripts in the 'membrane-bound' and 'cytosolic' fractions was quantitated for thousands of genes by hybridization to DNA microarrays. Transcripts known to encode secreted or membrane proteins were enriched in the membrane-bound fractions, whereas those known to encode cytoplasmic proteins were enriched in the fractions containing mRNAs associated with free and cytoplasmic ribosomes. On this basis, we identified over 275 human genes and 285 yeast genes that are likely to encode previously unrecognized secreted or membrane proteins. Computed

In vitro affinity maturation of antibody against membrane-bound GPCR molecules.

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven-transmembrane domain receptors, are among the most important targets against which many small molecule drugs have been developed. However, only two antibody drugs targeting GPCRs have been approved for clinical use although many antibody drugs against non-GPCR protein targets have been successfully developed for various disease indications. One of the challenges for developing anti-GPCR drugs is the high difficulty to perform affinity maturation due to their insolubility in aqueous solutions. To address this issue, CHO cell display libraries of single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) and full-length antibodies were maturated directly against vesicle probes prepared from CHO cells displaying the endothelin A receptor (ETaR) GPCR. The probe in the vesicle form ensures the physiological conformation and functional activity of the protein and avoids issues with membrane protein insolubility. The size of the vesicle had a clear effect on protein-ligand interaction; we used small-sized vesicles with low expression levels of GPCRs for the affinity maturation. Four rounds of affinity maturation combining vesicles as probes with the CHO cell display platform improved affinity by 13.58-fold for scFvs and 5.05-fold for full-length antibodies. We expect that this method will not only be used for the affinity maturation of antibodies against GPCRs but will also be used to mature antibodies for other types of proteins where the conformation/activity of which depends on the proper membrane environment.
