Authentication of Hippuristanol-eIF4A1 Target Engagement Facilitates Identification of eIF4A1 Helicase Dependencies within 5’ Leader Regions

ABSTRACT: Hippuristanol (Hipp) is a natural product that selectively inhibits protein synthesis by targeting eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4A, a DEAD-box RNA helicase required for ribosome recruitmentt o mRNA templates. Using a CRISPR/Cas9-based variomics screen, we identify functional eIF4A1 Hipp-resistant alleles, which in turn allow us to link the translation-inhibitory and cytotoxic properties of Hipp to eIF4A1 target-engagement. Genome-wide translational profiling in the absence or presence of Hipp (~EC50) were undertaken and our validation studies provided insight into structure-activity relationships of eIF4A-dependent mRNAs.

eIF4A1 enhances LARP1-mediated translational repression during mTORC1 inhibition

Project description:Eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) 4A — a DEAD-box RNA-binding protein — plays an essential role in translation initiation. Recent reports have suggested helicase-dependent and helicase-independent functions for eIF4A, but the multifaceted roles of eIF4A have not been fully explored. Here, we show that eIF4A1 enhances translational repression during the inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), an essential kinase complex controlling cell proliferation. RNA pulldown followed by sequencing revealed that eIF4A1 preferentially binds to mRNAs containing terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) motifs (TOP mRNAs), whose translation is rapidly repressed upon mTORC1 inhibition. This selective interaction depends on a La-related RNA-binding protein, LARP1. Ribosome profiling revealed that deletion of EIF4A1 attenuated the translational repression of TOP mRNAs upon mTORC1 inactivation. Moreover, eIF4A1 increases the affinity between TOP mRNAs and LARP1 and thus ensures stronger translational repression upon mTORC1 inhibition. Our data show the multimodality of eIF4A1 in modulating protein synthesis through an inhibitory binding partner and provide a unique example of the repressive role of a universal translational activator.

Selective translation mechanism through two paralogs of eukaryotic initiation factor 4A

Project description:Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4A is a DEAD-box RNA-binding protein that plays a pivotal role in translation initiation. Although mammals have two eIF4A paralogs, eIF4A1 and eIF4A2, their redundancy has been long assumed because of high homology and their functional difference has been poorly understood. Here we show that eIF4A paralogs employ differential translation programs. Ribosome profiling of eIF4A1- and eIF4A2-knockout HEK293T cell lines revealed that translation efficiency changes were divergent across transcriptome and distinct group of mRNAs were regulated by each paralog. Our analysis indicates that eIF4A1 and eIF4A2 facilitate translation of specific mRNAs.

eIF4A1 unwinding activity is RNA sequence-specifically deployed through eIF4A1-multimerisation to facilitate translation of mRNAs with local repressive RNA structure

Project description:Oncogenic translational programmes are an emerging hallmark of cancer and often driven by dysregulation of signaling pathways including KRAS and mTORC that converge on the eukaryotic translation initiation (eIF) 4F complex. Altered eIF4F activity promotes translation of oncogene mRNAs that typically contain highly structured 5’UTRs rendering their translation strongly dependent on RNA unwinding by DEAD-box helicase eIF4A1 subunit of the eIF4F complex. In addition, eIF4A1 separately functions to load mRNA into the 43S pre-initiation complex (PIC), an essential step for the translation of cellular mRNA. While eIF4A1-dependent mRNAs have been widely investigated, it is still unclear if highly structured mRNAs recruit and activate eIF4A1 unwinding specifically. Here, we uncover that unwinding by eIF4A1 is activated in an RNA sequence-dependent manner in cells. Our data demonstrate that eIF4A1-dependent mRNAs contain specific RNA sequences, particularly enriched for polypurine-motifs, in their 5’UTR which recruit and specifically stimulate unwinding of local repressive RNA structure by eIF4A1 in an RNA sequence-dependent manner to facilitate translation. Mechanistically, we show that polypurine-rich sequences trigger the formation of RNA sequence-specific multimeric eIF4A1-complexes, assembled of catalytically distinct eIF4A1 subunits, the joint activity of which enhances RNA unwinding activity. Together with our structural data, we describe a model in which conformational changes within eIF4A1 and the RNA through the process of eIF4A1 multimerisation, lead to an optimal interaction of eIF4A1-unwinding subunits with the structured RNA region which enhances unwinding. Hence, we conclude that RNA sequences in addition to protein cofactors contribute to the regulation of cellular eIF4A1 function and promotion of translation of eIF4A1-unwinding dependent mRNAs.

Ternary protein•drug•RNA interface explains RocA sequence selectivity and Aglaia resistance

Project description:A novel class of translation inhibitors isolated from Aglaia plants, exemplified by Rocaglamide A (RocA), shows promise as an anti-cancer therapy. RocA converts its molecular target, translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), a DEAD-box protein, into a purine-selective RNA-binding protein that represses protein synthesis from a subset of mRNAs. This unusual mechanism of action raises the question of how the drug induces selectivity for polypurine sequences. Furthermore, as eIF4A is found in all eukaryotes, it is unclear how Aglaia resists the effects of RocA. Here, we assembled the Aglaia transcriptome de novo and identified highly specific mutations in eIF4A that enable it to evade RocA-dependent translation inhibition. Furthermore, we determined the crystal structure of the human eIF4A1•ATP analog•RocA•polypurine RNA complex. RocA binds residues mutated in Aglaia and intercalates between consecutive purines at a sharp RNA bend, revealing the structural basis of polypurine-selective translational inhibition by RocA in human and resistance in Aglaia.

EIF4A1 is essential in B cells by promoting activation-induced translation

Project description:EIF4A1 and cofactors EIF4B and EIF4H have been well characterised in cancers, including B cell malignancies, for their ability to promote the translation of oncogenes with structured 5’ untranslated regions but very little is known of their roles in non-malignant cells. Using mouse models to delete Eif4a1, Eif4b or Eif4h in B cells we show that EIF4A1, but not EIF4B or EIF4H, is essential for B cell development and the germinal centre response. Following activation, EIF4A1 facilitates an increased rate of protein synthesis, MYC expression and expression of cell cycle regulators. However, EIF4A1-deficient cells remain viable whereas Hippuristanol treatment induces cell death.

Rocaglamide A converts RNA helicase eIF4A into a sequence-specific translational repressor

Project description:Rocaglamide A (RocA) typifies a novel class of protein synthesis inhibitors that selectively kill aneuploid tumor cells and repress translation of specific mRNAs. RocA targets eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), the prototypical DEAD-box RNA helicase, and its mRNA selectivity is proposed to reflect highly structured 5â² UTRs that are very dependent on eIF4A-mediated unwinding. Here, we show that secondary structure in 5â² UTRs is only a minor determinant for RocA selectivity and RocA does not repress translation by reducing eIF4A activity. Rather, in vitro and in vivo, RocA clamps eIF4A onto a specific sequence motif even after ATP hydrolysis. This artificially clamped eIF4A blocks 43S scanning, leading to premature, upstream translation initiation and reducing gene expression on transcripts bearing the RocA-eIF4A target sequence. In elucidating the mechanism of this lead anti-cancer compound and explaining its mRNA selectivity, we provide the first example of a drug stabilizing sequence-specific RNA-protein interactions.

Transcriptome wide analysis of translation efficiency in MCF7 cells using polysome profiling with and without eIF4A inhibition by hippuristanol treatment

Project description:To identify mRNAs that are most translationally repressed following eIF4A inhibition and those that are relatively insensitive, polysome profiling was carried with and without eIF4A inhibition by hippuristanol treatment. Polysomal, sub-polysomal and total RNA was sequenced and we used a Bayesian model to identify mRNAs that with greatest confidence had shifted from the polysomal into the sub-polysomal fractions, from the sub-polysomal into the polysomal fractionsand those mRNAs that did not change in their polysomal to sub-polysomal ratio, following hipp treatment, which were termed eIF4A-dependent, eIF4A-antidependent and eIF4A-independent mRNAs respectively

Dual targeting of DDX3 and eIF4A by the translation inhibitor rocaglamide A [Bind-n-Seq]

Project description:Small molecule compounds that sense the nucleic acid sequences, promise the attractive venue for drug development. Such an unusual effect has been observed in the natural product Rocaglamide A (RocA) from Aglaia plant, proving to exhibit anti-tumor effects by clamping eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4A onto mRNA polypurine sequences. Although eIF4A has been speculated the unique target of RocA, the insensitization of eIF4A in human cells only partially rescued the translation repression from RocA, suggesting another alternative target of this compound. Here, we revealed that DDX3 is an alternative target of RocA. Developing a RocA derivative with an O-nitrobenzoxadiazole unit (RocA-O-NBD), which can covalently bind to proximate proteins and provide fluorescence to them, we identified DDX3 bound to RocA. As observed in eIF4A, RocA locked the DDX3 protein onto polypurine sequences of RNA in an ATP-independent manner. De novo assembled Aglaia plant transcriptome uncovered the natural amino acid substitutions in Aglaia DDX3 to protect itself from RocA toxicity. Because of the dominant negative effect of RocA, we also proved the protein abundance of eIF4A and DDX3 in cancer cells determines their sensitivity to RocA. Overall, this study discovered DDX3 as another target of RocA and suggests the probability to predict tumor toxicity of RocA by the target abundance.
