STIC2 selectively binds ribosome-nascent chain complexes in the cotranslational sorting of Arabidopsis thylakoid proteins

ABSTRACT: Chloroplast-encoded multi-span thylakoid membrane proteins are crucial for photosynthetic complexes, yet the coordination of their biogenesis remains poorly understood. To identify factors that specifically support the cotranslational biogenesis of the reaction center protein D1 of photosystem (PS) II, we generated and affinity-purified stalled ribosome-nascent chain complexes (RNCs) bearing D1 nascent chains. Stalled RNCs translating the soluble ribosomal subunit uS2c were used for comparison. Quantitative tandem-mass spectrometry of the purified RNCs identified around 140 proteins specifically associated with D1 RNCs, mainly involved in protein and cofactor biogenesis, including chlorophyll biosynthesis, and other metabolic pathways. Functional analysis of STIC2, a newly identified D1 RNC interactor, revealed its cooperation with chloroplast protein SRP54 in the de novo biogenesis and repair of D1, and potentially other cotranslationally-targeted reaction center subunits of PSII and PSI. The primary binding interface between STIC2 and the thylakoid insertase Alb3 and its homolog Alb4 was mapped to STIC2's -sheet region, and the conserved Motif III in the C-terminal regions of Alb3/4.

Nascent chain dynamics and ribosome interactions within folded ribosome-nascent chain complexes observed by NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:The folding of many proteins can begin during biosynthesis on the ribosome and can be modulated by the ribosome itself. Such perturbations are generally believed to be mediated through interactions between the nascent chain and the ribosome surface, but despite recent progress in characterising interactions of unfolded states with the ribosome, and their impact on the initiation of co-translational folding, a complete quantitative analysis of interactions across both folded and unfolded states of a nascent chain has yet to be realised. Here we apply solution-state NMR spectroscopy to measure transverse proton relaxation rates for methyl groups in folded ribosome-nascent chain complexes of the FLN5 filamin domain. We observe substantial increases in relaxation rates for the nascent chain relative to the isolated domain, which can be related to changes in effective rotational correlation times using measurements of relaxation and cross-correlated relaxation in the isolated domain. Using this approach, we can identify interactions between the nascent chain and the ribosome surface, driven predominantly by electrostatics, and by measuring the change in these interactions as the subsequent FLN6 domain emerges, we may deduce their impact on the free energy landscapes associated with the co-translational folding process.

Ribosome nascent chain complexes of the chloroplast-encoded cytochrome b6 thylakoid membrane protein interact with cpSRP54 but not with cpSecY.

Project description:We analysed the interplay between the cpSecY, cpSRP54 and the chloroplast-encoded cytochrome b6 via isolation of chloroplast ribosome nascent chain complexes and the use of cross-linking factors, antibodies and mass spectroscopy analyses. We showed that the cytochrome b6 nascent polypeptide complex is tightly associated with ribosomes and that the translation of cytochrome b6 was discontinuous. The causes of ribosome pausing and the functional significance of this phenomenon may be related to proper protein folding, insertion into thylakoid membranes and the association of cofactors during this process. It was also found that cpSecY was not in the vicinity of cytochrome b6 intermediates during the elongation process and does not act with mature cytochrome b6 after translation. Using the approach of cross-linking during elongation of the cytochrome b6 protein, we showed that cpSRP54 interacts strongly with the elongating nascent chain.

Versatility of trigger factor interactions with ribosome-nascent chain complexes.

Project description:Trigger factor (TF) is the first molecular chaperone that interacts with nascent chains emerging from bacterial ribosomes. TF is a modular protein, consisting of an N-terminal ribosome binding domain, a PPIase domain, and a C-terminal domain, all of which participate in polypeptide binding. To directly monitor the interactions of TF with nascent polypeptide chains, TF variants were site-specifically labeled with an environmentally sensitive NBD fluorophore. We found a marked increase in TF-NBD fluorescence during translation of firefly luciferase (Luc) chains, which expose substantial regions of hydrophobicity, but not with nascent chains lacking extensive hydrophobic segments. TF remained associated with Luc nascent chains for 111 +/- 7 s, much longer than it remained bound to the ribosomes (t((1/2)) approximately 10-14 s). Thus, multiple TF molecules can bind per nascent chain during translation. The Escherichia coli cytosolic proteome was classified into predicted weak and strong interactors for TF, based on the occurrence of continuous hydrophobic segments in the primary sequence. The residence time of TF on the nascent chain generally correlated with the presence of hydrophobic regions and the capacity of nascent chains to bury hydrophobicity. Interestingly, TF bound the signal sequence of a secretory protein, pOmpA, but not the hydrophobic signal anchor sequence of the inner membrane protein FtsQ. On the other hand, proteins lacking linear hydrophobic segments also recruited TF, suggesting that TF can recognize hydrophobic surface features discontinuous in sequence. Moreover, TF retained significant affinity for the folded domain of the positively charged, ribosomal protein S7, indicative of an alternative mode of TF action. Thus, unlike other chaperones, TF appears to employ multiple mechanisms to interact with a wide range of substrate proteins.

Probing ribosome-nascent chain complexes produced in vivo by NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:The means by which a polypeptide chain acquires its unique 3-D structure is a fundamental question in biology. During its synthesis on the ribosome, a nascent chain (NC) emerges vectorially and will begin to fold in a cotranslational fashion. The complex environment of the cell, coupled with the gradual emergence of the ribosome-tethered NC during its synthesis, imposes conformational restraints on its folding landscape that differ from those placed on an isolated protein when stimulated to fold following denaturation in solution. To begin to examine cotranslational folding as it would occur within a cell, we produce highly selective, isotopically labeled NCs bound to isotopically silent ribosomes in vivo. We then apply NMR spectroscopy to study, at a residue specific level, the conformation of NCs consisting of different fractional lengths of the polypeptide chain corresponding to a given protein. This combined approach provides a powerful means of generating a series of snapshots of the folding of the NC as it emerges from the ribosome. Application of this strategy to the NMR analysis of the progressive synthesis of an Ig-like domain reveals the existence of a partially folded ribosome-bound species that is likely to represent an intermediate species populated during the cotranslational folding process.

Insights into the ribosome function from the structures of non-arrested ribosome-nascent chain complexes.

Project description:During protein synthesis, the growing polypeptide threads through the ribosomal exit tunnel and modulates ribosomal activity by itself or by sensing various small molecules, such as metabolites or antibiotics, appearing in the tunnel. While arrested ribosome-nascent chain complexes (RNCCs) have been extensively studied structurally, the lack of a simple procedure for the large-scale preparation of peptidyl-tRNAs, intermediates in polypeptide synthesis that carry the growing chain, means that little attention has been given to RNCCs representing functionally active states of the ribosome. Here we report the facile synthesis of stably linked peptidyl-tRNAs through a chemoenzymatic approach based on native chemical ligation and use them to determine several structures of RNCCs in the functional pre-attack state of the peptidyl transferase centre. These structures reveal that C-terminal parts of the growing peptides adopt the same uniform β-strand conformation stabilized by an intricate network of hydrogen bonds with the universally conserved 23S rRNA nucleotides, and explain how the ribosome synthesizes growing peptides containing various sequences with comparable efficiencies.

Structural basis for selective stalling of human ribosome nascent chain complexes by a drug-like molecule.

Project description:The drug-like molecule PF-06446846 (PF846) binds the human ribosome and selectively blocks the translation of a small number of proteins by an unknown mechanism. In structures of PF846-stalled human ribosome nascent chain complexes, PF846 binds in the ribosome exit tunnel in a eukaryotic-specific pocket formed by 28S ribosomal RNA, and alters the path of the nascent polypeptide chain. PF846 arrests the translating ribosome in the rotated state of translocation, in which the peptidyl-transfer RNA 3'-CCA end is improperly docked in the peptidyl transferase center. Selections of messenger RNAs from mRNA libraries using translation extracts reveal that PF846 can stall translation elongation, arrest termination or even enhance translation, depending on nascent chain sequence context. These results illuminate how a small molecule selectively targets translation by the human ribosome, and provides a foundation for developing small molecules that modulate the production of proteins of therapeutic interest.

Capturing Membrane Protein Ribosome Nascent Chain Complexes in a Native-like Environment for Co-translational Studies.

Project description:Co-translational folding studies of membrane proteins lag behind cytosolic protein investigations largely due to the technical difficulty in maintaining membrane lipid environments for correct protein folding. Stalled ribosome-bound nascent chain complexes (RNCs) can give snapshots of a nascent protein chain as it emerges from the ribosome during biosynthesis. Here, we demonstrate how SecM-facilitated nascent chain stalling and native nanodisc technologies can be exploited to capture in vivo-generated membrane protein RNCs within their native lipid compositions. We reveal that a polytopic membrane protein can be successfully stalled at various stages during its synthesis and the resulting RNC extracted within either detergent micelles or diisobutylene-maleic acid co-polymer native nanodiscs. Our approaches offer tractable solutions for the structural and biophysical interrogation of nascent membrane proteins of specified lengths, as the elongating nascent chain emerges from the ribosome and inserts into its native lipid milieu.

Chain dynamics of nascent polypeptides emerging from the ribosome.

Project description:Very little is known about the conformation of polypeptides emerging from the ribosome during protein biosynthesis. Here, we explore the dynamics of ribosome-bound nascent polypeptides and proteins in Escherichia coli by dynamic fluorescence depolarization and assess the population of cotranslationally active chaperones trigger factor (TF) and DnaK. E. coli cell-free technology and fluorophore-linked E. coli Met-tRNA f Met enable selective site-specific labeling of nascent proteins at the N-terminal methionine. For the first time, direct spectroscopic evidence captures the generation of independent nascent chain motions for a single-domain protein emerging from the ribosome (apparent rotational correlation time approximately 5 ns), during the intermediate and late stages of polypeptide elongation. Such motions are detected only for a sequence encoding a globular protein and not for a natively unfolded control, suggesting that the independent nascent chain dynamics may be a signature of folding-competent sequences. In summary, we observe multicomponent, severely rotationally restricted, and strongly chain length/sequence-dependent nascent chain dynamics.

Nascent SecM chain outside the ribosome reinforces translation arrest.

Project description:SecM, a bacterial secretion monitor protein, contains a specific amino acid sequence at its C-terminus, called arrest sequence, which interacts with the ribosomal tunnel and arrests its own translation. The arrest sequence is sufficient and necessary for stable translation arrest. However, some previous studies have suggested that the nascent chain outside the ribosome affects the stability of translation arrest. To clarify this issue, we performed in vitro translation assays with HaloTag proteins fused to the C-terminal fragment of E. coli SecM containing the arrest sequence or the full-length SecM. We showed that the translation of HaloTag proteins, which are fused to the fragment, is not effectively arrested, whereas the translation of HaloTag protein fused to full-length SecM is arrested efficiently. In addition, we observed that the nascent SecM chain outside the ribosome markedly stabilizes the translation arrest. These results indicate that changes in the nascent polypeptide chain outside the ribosome can affect the stability of translation arrest; the nascent SecM chain outside the ribosome stabilizes the translation arrest.
