Deficiency of mitoribosomal S10 protein affects translation and splicing in Arabidopsis mitochondria

ABSTRACT: The ribosome is not only a protein-making machine, but also a regulatory element in protein synthesis. This view is supported by our earlier data showing that Arabidopsis mitoribosomes altered due to the silencing of the nuclear RPS10 gene encoding mitochondrial ribosomal protein S10 differentially translate mitochondrial transcripts compared with the wild-type. Here, we used ribosome profiling to determine the contribution of transcriptional and translational control in the regulation of protein synthesis in rps10 mitochondria compared with the wild-type ones. Oxidative phosphorylation system proteins are preferentially synthesized in wild-type mitochondria but this feature is lost in the mutant. The rps10 mitoribosomes show slightly reduced translation efficiency of most respiration-related proteins and at the same time markedly more efficiently synthesize ribosomal proteins and MatR and TatC proteins. The mitoribosomes deficient in S10 protein protect shorter transcript fragments which exhibit a weaker 3-nucleotide periodicity compared with the wild-type. The decrease in the triplet periodicity is particularly drastic for genes containing introns. Notably, splicing is considerably less effective in the mutant, indicating an unexpected link between the deficiency of S10 and mitochondrial splicing. Thus, a shortage of the mitoribosomal S10 protein has wide-ranging consequences on mitochondrial gene expression.

Small is big in Arabidopsis mitochondrial ribosome

Project description:Mitochondria are responsible for energy production through aerobic respiration and represent the powerhouse of eukaryotic cells. Their metabolism and gene expression processes combine bacterial-like features and traits that evolved in eukaryotes. Among mitochondrial gene expression processes, translation remains the most elusive. In plants, while numerous pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are involved in all steps of gene expression, their function in translation remains unclear. Here we present the biochemical characterisation of Arabidopsis mitochondrial ribosomes and identify their protein subunit composition. Complementary biochemical approaches identify 19 plant specific mitoribosome proteins, among which 10 are PPR proteins. The knock out mutations of ribosomal PPR (rPPR) genes result in distinct macroscopic phenotypes including lethality or severe growth delays. The molecular analysis of rppr1 mutants using ribosome profiling as well as the analysis of mitochondrial protein levels reveal that rPPR1 is a generic translation factor, which is a novel function for PPR proteins. Finally, single particle cryo-electron microscopy reveals the unique structural architecture of Arabidopsis mitoribosomes, characterised by a very large small ribosomal subunit, larger than the large subunit, bearing an additional RNA domain grafted onto the head. Overall, our results show that Arabidopsis mitoribosomes are substantially divergent from bacterial and other eukaryote mitoribosomes, both in terms of structure and of protein content.

GTPBP8 is essential for mitoribosome formation in human mitochondria

Project description:Mitochondrial gene expression relies on mitoribosomes to translate mitochondrial mRNAs. The biogenesis of mitoribosomes is an intricate process involving multiple assembly factors. Among these factors, GTP-binding proteins (GTPBPs) play crucial roles. In bacterial systems, numerous GTPBPs are required for ribosome subunit maturation, with EngB being a GTPBP involved in the ribosomal large subunit assembly. In this study, we focused on exploring the function of GTPBP8, the human homolog of EngB. We found that ablation of GTPBP8 leads to the inhibition of mitochondrial translation, resulting in significant impairment of oxidative phosphorylation. Structural analysis of mitoribosomes from GTPBP8 knock-out cells showed the accumulation of mitoribosomal large subunit assembly intermediates that are incapable of forming functional monosomes. Furthermore, fPAR-CLIP analysis revealed that GTPBP8 is an RNA-binding protein that interacts specifically with the mitochondrial ribosome large subunit16S rRNA. Our study highlights the crucial role of GTPBP8 as a component of the mitochondrial gene expression machinery involved in mitochondrial large subunit maturation.

Furthermore, structural analysis of mitoribosomes from GTPBP8 knock-out cells showed the accumulation of mitoribosomal large subunit assembly intermediates that are incapable of forming functional monosomes. Our study highlights the crucial role of GTPBP8 as a component of the mitochondrial gene expression machinery involved in mitoribosome biogenesis.

Distinct roles for human mtIF2 and mtIF3 in non-canonical mitochondrial translation.

Project description:The synthesis of mitochondrial OXPHOS complexes is central to cellular metabolism, yet many molecular details of mitochondrial translation remain elusive. It is commonly held view that translation initiation in human mitochondria proceeded in a manner similar to bacterial systems, with the mitoribosomal small subunit bound to the initiation factors, mtIF2 and mtIF3, along with initiator tRNA and an mRNA. However, unlike in bacteria, most human mitochondrial mRNAs lack 5′ leader sequences that can mediate small subunit binding, raising the question of how leaderless mRNAs are recognized by mitoribosomes. By using novel in vitro mitochondrial translation initiation assays, alongside biochemical and genetic characterization of cellular knockouts of mitochondrial translation factors, we describe unique features of translation initiation in human mitochondria. We show that in vitro, leaderless mRNA transcripts can be loaded directly onto assembled 55S mitoribosomes, but not onto the mitoribosomal small subunit (28S). In addition, we demonstrate that while mtIF2 is indispensable for mitochondrial translation, mtIF3 activity is not required for translation of leaderless mitochondrial transcripts but is essential for translation of ATP6 in the case of the bicistronic ATP8/ATP6 transcript. Our results confirm important evolutionary divergences of the mitochondrial translation system, and further our understanding of a process central to eukaryotic metabolism.

RNA-seq of Mus musculus: WT and MTCH2 KO Naïve & Primed mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:The role of mitochondria dynamics and its molecular regulators remains largely unknown during naïve-to-primed pluripotent cell interconversion. Here we report that mitochondrial MTCH2 is a regulator of mitochondrial fusion, essential for the naïve-to-primed interconversion of murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs). During this interconversion, wild-type ESCs elongate their mitochondria and slightly alter their glutamine utilization. In contrast, MTCH2-/- ESCs fail to elongate their mitochondria and to alter their metabolism, maintaining high levels of histone acetylation and expression of naïve pluripotency markers. Importantly, enforced mitochondria elongation by the pro-fusion protein Mitofusin (MFN) 2 or by a dominant negative form of the pro-fission protein dynamin-related protein (DRP) 1 is sufficient to drive the exit from naïve pluripotency of both MTCH2-/- and wild-type ESCs. Taken together, our data indicate that mitochondria elongation, governed by MTCH2, plays a critical role and constitutes an early driving force in the naïve-to-primed pluripotency interconversion of murine ESCs.

Subcellular proteomics combined with bioenergetic phenotyping reveals protein biomarkers of respiratory insufficiency in the setting of compromised mitochondrial DNA repair.

Project description:The mitochondrial mutator mouse is a well-established model of premature aging in which a progeroid phenotype is driven by the accumulation of somatic mtDNA mutations. Despite evidence of bioenergetic disruption within the cardiac mitochondria, there is little information about the underlying changes to the mitochondrial proteome. Herein, nLC-MS/MS was used to interrogate the mitochondria-enriched proteome of cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues of mutator mice and wild-type littermates. The mitochondrial proteome from heart tissue was then correlated with previously reported respiratory conductance data generated from the same mitochondrial samples to identify protein biomarkers of respiratory insufficiency. The majority of proteins that were found to be significantly downregulated in mutator mitochondria were subunits of respiratory complexes I and IV, including both nuclear and mitochondrial-encoded proteins. Interestingly, the mitochondrial-encoded complex V subunits, were unchanged or upregulated in mutator mitochondria suggesting a robustness to mtDNA mutation. Finally, the protein most strongly correlated with respiratory conductance in heart mitochondria from wild-type and mutator mice was the phosphatase PPM1K, which has been shown to have roles in branched chain amino acid metabolism and mitochondria permeability transition. These results suggest that mitochondrial mutator mice undergo a specific loss of mitochondrial complexes I and IV that limit their respiratory function independent of an upregulation of complex V. Additionally, the role of PPM1K in responding to mitochondrial stress warrants further exploration.

Fidelity of translation initiation is required for coordinated respiratory complex assembly

Project description:Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes are unique molecular machines that translate 11 leaderless mRNAs. To date it is not clear how mitoribosomes recognize and initiate translation in the absence of untranslated regions in the mitochondrial mRNAs. Translation initiation in mitochondria shares similarities with prokaryotic systems, such as the formation of a ternary complex of fMet-tRNAMet, mRNA and the 28S subunit, but differs in the requirements for initiation factors. Mitochondria have two initiation factors, MTIF2 that closes the decoding centre and stabilizes the binding of the fMet-tRNAMet to the leaderless mRNAs, and MTIF3 whose role is not clear. We knocked out Mtif3 in mice and show that this protein is essential for embryo development and heart- and skeletal muscle-specific loss of MTIF3 causes premature death. We identify increased but uncoordinated mitochondrial protein synthesis in mice lacking MTIF3 that results in loss of specific respiratory complexes. Therefore, we show that coordinated assembly of OXPHOS complexes requires stoichiometric levels of nuclear and mitochondrially-encoded protein subunits in vivo. Our ribosome profiling and transcriptomic analyses show that MTIF3 is required for recognition and regulation of translation initiation of mitochondrial mRNAs, but not dissociation of the ribosome subunits.

Identification of Arabidopsis mitochondrial ribosome proteome

Project description:In order to identify the comprehensive composition of Arabidopsis mitochondrial ribosome proteins, a strategy based on complementary approaches was used. Classical biochemical purification of ribosomes was combined with the immunoprecipitation of mitoribosomes using a specific Arabidopsis mitoribosome protein as a bait and quantitative proteomics. The immuno-purifications (IP) of the mitoribosome were performed on purified mitochondria from rPPR1-HA plant line (flowers as starting material). IPs were performed performed in different conditions (i.e. with 100, 400 or 600 mM KCl at the IP washing step or 800mM all along the IP). For each condition, experiments were performed in triplicates and IP proteins were identified by quantitative nano LC-ESI-MS/MS. Classic biochemical purification of mitochondrial monosomes (i.e. free ribosomes) was also performed. Starting from purified wild-type Arabidopsis mitochondria (cell culture as starting material), ribosomes were separated on high resolution 10-30% continuous sucrose gradients and mitoribosome containing fractions were analyzed by quantitative nano LC-ESI-MS/MS.

Mitochondrial two-component signaling systems in Candida albicans

Project description:Two-component signal transduction pathways are one of the primary means by which microorganisms respond to environmental signals. These signaling cascades originated in prokaryotes and were inherited by eukaryotes via endosymbiotic lateral gene transfer from ancestral cyanobacteria. We report here that the nuclear genome of pathogenic fungus Candida albicans contains elements of a two-component signaling pathway that seem to be targeted to the mitochondria. In C. albicans two-component response regulator protein Srr1(Stress Response Regulator) contains a mitochondrial targeting sequence at the N-terminus, and fluorescence microscopy reveals mitochondrial localization of GFP-tagged Srr1p. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis indicates that C. albicans Srr1p is more closely related to histidine kinases and response regulators found in marine bacteria compared to other two-component proteins present in the fungi. These data suggest conservation of this protein during the evolutionary transition from endosymbiont to a subcellular organelle. We used microarray analysis to determine if the phenotypes observed with srr1M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T mutant could be correlated with gene transcriptional changes. Expression of mitochondrial genes was altered in the srr1M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T null mutant in comparison to the wild type. Furthermore, apoptosis significantly increased in the srr1M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T mutant strain compared to wild type, suggesting activation of mitochondria dependent apoptotic cell death pathway in the srr1M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T mutant. This study shows for the first time that a lower eukaryote like C. albicans possesses a two-component response regulator protein that has survived in mitochondria and regulates a subset of genes whose functions are associated with oxidative stress response and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Candida albicans wildtype or srr1 null cells were left untreated or were treated with either 8mM H2O2 for one hour prior to RNA isolation.
