Co-translational mechanisms of quality control of newly synthesized polypeptides.

ABSTRACT: During protein synthesis, nascent polypeptides emerge from ribosomes to fold into functional proteins. Misfolding of newly synthesized polypeptides (NSPs) at this stage leads to their aggregation. These misfolded NSPs must be expediently cleared to circumvent the deleterious effects of protein aggregation on cell physiology. To this end, a sizable portion of NSPs are ubiquitinated and rapidly degraded by the proteasome. This suggests the existence of co-translational mechanisms that play a pivotal role in the quality control of NSPs. It is generally thought that ribosomes play a central role in this process. During mRNA translation, ribosomes sense errors that lead to the accumulation of aberrant polypeptides, and serve as a hub for protein complexes that are required for optimal folding and/or proteasome-dependent degradation of misfolded polypeptides. In this review, we discuss recent findings that shed light on the molecular underpinnings of the co-translational quality control of NSPs.

Genetic depletion of the RNA helicase DDX3 leads to impaired elongation of translating ribosomes triggering co-translational quality control of newly synthesized polypeptides.

Project description:DDX3 is a multifaceted RNA helicase of the DEAD-box family that plays central roles in all aspects of RNA metabolism including translation initiation. Here, we provide evidence that the Leishmania DDX3 ortholog functions in post-initiation steps of translation. We show that genetic depletion of DDX3 slows down ribosome movement resulting in elongation-stalled ribosomes, impaired translation elongation and decreased de novo protein synthesis. We also demonstrate that the essential ribosome recycling factor Rli1/ABCE1 and termination factors eRF3 and GTPBP1 are less recruited to ribosomes upon DDX3 loss, suggesting that arrested ribosomes may be inefficiently dissociated and recycled. Furthermore, we show that prolonged ribosome stalling triggers co-translational ubiquitination of nascent polypeptide chains and a higher recruitment of E3 ubiquitin ligases and proteasome components to ribosomes of DDX3 knockout cells, which further supports that ribosomes are not elongating optimally. Impaired elongation of translating ribosomes also results in the accumulation of cytoplasmic protein aggregates, which implies that defects in translation overwhelm the normal quality controls. The partial recovery of translation by overexpressing Hsp70 supports this possibility. Collectively, these results suggest an important novel contribution of DDX3 to optimal elongation of translating ribosomes by preventing prolonged translation stalls and stimulating recycling of arrested ribosomes.

Dual roles of HSP70 chaperone HSPA1 in quality control of nascent and newly synthesized proteins.

Project description:Exposure to heat stress triggers a well-defined acute response marked by HSF1-dependent transcriptional upregulation of heat shock proteins. Cells allowed to recover acquire thermotolerance, but this adaptation is poorly understood. By quantitative proteomics, we discovered selective upregulation of HSP70-family chaperone HSPA1 and its co-factors, HSPH1 and DNAJB1, in MCF7 breast cancer cells acquiring thermotolerance. HSPA1 was found to have dual function during heat stress response: (i) During acute stress, it promotes the recruitment of the 26S proteasome to translating ribosomes, thus poising cells for rapid protein degradation and resumption of protein synthesis upon recovery; (ii) during thermotolerance, HSPA1 together with HSPH1 maintains ubiquitylated nascent/newly synthesized proteins in a soluble state required for their efficient proteasomal clearance. Consistently, deletion of HSPH1 impedes thermotolerance and esophageal tumor growth in mice, thus providing a potential explanation for the poor prognosis of digestive tract cancers with high HSPH1 and nominating HSPH1 as a cancer drug target. We propose dual roles of HSPA1 either alone or in complex with HSPH1 and DNAJB1 in promoting quality control of nascent/newly synthesized proteins and cellular thermotolerance.

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.

Degradation of newly synthesized polypeptides by ribosome-associated RACK1/c-Jun N-terminal kinase/eukaryotic elongation factor 1A2 complex.

Project description:Folding of newly synthesized polypeptides (NSPs) into functional proteins is a highly regulated process. Rigorous quality control ensures that NSPs attain their native fold during or shortly after completion of translation. Nonetheless, signaling pathways that govern the degradation of NSPs in mammals remain elusive. We demonstrate that the stress-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is recruited to ribosomes by the receptor for activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1). RACK1 is an integral component of the 40S ribosome and an adaptor for protein kinases. Ribosome-associated JNK phosphorylates the eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A isoform 2 (eEF1A2) on serines 205 and 358 to promote degradation of NSPs by the proteasome. These findings establish a role for a RACK1/JNK/eEF1A2 complex in the quality control of NSPs in response to stress.

Mechanisms of stop codon readthrough mitigation reveal principles of GCN1 mediated translational quality control

Project description:Readthrough into the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of the mRNA results in the production of aberrant proteins. Metazoans efficiently clear readthrough proteins, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we show in C. elegans and mammalian cells that readthrough proteins are targeted by a coupled, two-level quality control pathway involving the BAG6 chaperone complex and the ribosome collision-sensing protein GCN1. Readthrough proteins with hydrophobic C-terminal extensions are recognized by SGTA-BAG6 and ubiquitylated by RNF126 for proteasomal degradation. Additionally, cotranslational mRNA decay initiated by GCN1 and CCR4/NOT limits the accumulation of readthrough products. Unexpectedly, selective ribosome profiling uncovered a general role of GCN1 in regulating translation dynamics when ribosomes encounter nonoptimal codons, a feature of 3′UTR sequences. Dysfunction of GCN1 results in mRNA and proteome imbalance, increasingly perturbing transmembrane proteins and collagens during aging. These results define GCN1 as a key factor acting during translation in maintaining protein homeostasis.

Dendritic BC1 RNA in translational control mechanisms.

Project description:Translational control at the synapse is thought to be a key determinant of neuronal plasticity. How is such control implemented? We report that small untranslated BC1 RNA is a specific effector of translational control both in vitro and in vivo. BC1 RNA, expressed in neurons and germ cells, inhibits a rate-limiting step in the assembly of translation initiation complexes. A translational repression element is contained within the unique 3' domain of BC1 RNA. Interactions of this domain with eukaryotic initiation factor 4A and poly(A) binding protein mediate repression, indicating that the 3' BC1 domain targets a functional interaction between these factors. In contrast, interactions of BC1 RNA with the fragile X mental retardation protein could not be documented. Thus, BC1 RNA modulates translation-dependent processes in neurons and germs cells by directly interacting with translation initiation factors.

Selective destabilization of polypeptides synthesized from NMD-targeted transcripts.

Project description:The translation of mRNAs that contain a premature termination codon (PTC) generates truncated proteins that may have toxic dominant negative effects. Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is an mRNA surveillance pathway that degrades PTC-containing mRNAs to limit the production of truncated proteins. NMD activation requires a ribosome terminating translation at a PTC, but what happens to the polypeptides synthesized during the translation cycle needed to activate NMD is incompletely understood. Here, by establishing reporter systems that encode the same polypeptide sequence before a normal termination codon or PTC, we show that termination of protein synthesis at a PTC is sufficient to selectively destabilize polypeptides in mammalian cells. Proteasome inhibition specifically rescues the levels of nascent polypeptides produced from PTC-containing mRNAs within an hour, but also disrupts mRNA homeostasis within a few hours. PTC-terminated polypeptide destabilization is also alleviated by depleting the central NMD factor UPF1 or SMG1, the kinase that phosphorylates UPF1 to activate NMD, but not by inhibiting SMG1 kinase activity. Our results suggest that polypeptide degradation is linked to PTC recognition in mammalian cells and clarify a framework to investigate these mechanisms.
