Grad-seq shines light on unrecognized RNA and protein complexes in the model bacterium Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: Stable protein complexes, including those formed with RNA, are major building blocks of every living cell. Escherichia coli has been the leading organism with respect to global bacterial protein-protein networks. However, there has been no global census of RNA/protein complexes in this model species of microbiology. Here, we performed Grad-seq to establish an RNA/protein complexome, reconstructing sedimentation profiles in a glycerol gradient for ~85% of all E. coli transcripts and ~49% of the proteins. In presenting use cases for this resource to be exploited, we show that its stable association with 30S ribosomes gives the seemingly noncoding RNA RyeG of prophage origin away as an mRNA of a toxic small protein. Similarly, we show that the broadly conserved uncharacterized protein YggL is a 50S subunit factor in assembled 70S ribosomes. Overall, this study complements existing interactome resources for the primary model bacterium E. coli with valuable RNA/protein complexome information and should facilitate functional discovery in this and many related species.

Structure of Escherichia coli heat shock protein Hsp15 in complex with ribosomal 50S sununits bearing peptidyl-tRNA

Project description:In Escherichia coli, the heat shock protein 15 (Hsp15) is part of the cellular response to elevated temperature. Hsp15 interacts with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complexes that arise upon dissociation of translating 70S ribosomes, and is proposed to facilitate their rescue and recycling. A previous structure of E. coli Hsp15 in complex with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complex reported a binding site located at the central protuberance of the 50S subunit. By contrast, recent structures of RqcP, the Hsp15 homolog in Bacillus subtilis, in complex with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complexes have revealed a distinct site positioned between the anticodon-stem-loop (ASL) of the P-site tRNA and H69 of the 23S rRNA. Here we demonstrate that exposure of E. coli cells to heat shock leads to dissociation of 70S ribosomes and accumulation of 50S subunits, thus identifying a natural substrate for Hsp15 binding. Additionally, we have determined a cryo-EM reconstruction of the Hsp15-50S-peptidyl-tRNA complex isolated from heat shocked E. coli cells, revealing that Hsp15 binds to the 50S-peptidyl-tRNA complex analogously to its B. subtilis homolog RqcP. Collectively, our findings support a model where Hsp15 promotes access to the A-site for putative rescue factors to release the aberrant nascent polypeptide chain.

Grad-seq in a Gram-positive bacterium reveals exonucleolytic sRNA activation in competence control

Project description:RNA-protein interactions crucially underlie many steps of bacterial gene expression including post-transcriptional control by small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs). In stark contrast with recent progress in Gram-negative bacteria, knowledge about RNA and protein complexes in Gram-positive species remains scarce. Here, we used Grad-seq to draft a landscape of such complexes in Streptococcus pneumoniae, determining the sedimentation profiles of ~88% of the transcripts and ~62% of the proteins of this important human pathogen. Analysis of in-gradient distributions and subsequent tag-based protein capture identified interactions of the exoribonuclease Cbf1 (a.k.a. YhaM) with sRNAs that control bacterial competence. Contrary to expectation, the nucleolytic activity of Cbf1 stabilized these sRNAs, thereby promoting their function as repressors of competence. These results illustrate how this first RNA/protein complexome resource for a Gram-positive species can be utilized to identify new molecular factors in RNA-based regulation of pathways with relevance to bacterial virulence.

A novel mechanism of bacteria to adapt to nutrient deprivation via the ribosome silencing factor RsfS (reference number: NMICROBIOL-19112987)

Project description:The factor RsfS is present in almost all bacteria and organelles. RsfS is important under conditions of nutrient downshifts leading to decreasing growth rates. A common feature of these conditions is a strong reduction of the translation capacity revealed by polysomal fraction decrease and a vast appearance of vacant 70S ribosomes, which might cause a devastating energy drain by stimulating the activity of GTPase proteins e.g. EF-G with idle ribosomes. Here we show that RsfS blocks association of free ribosomal subunits and induces dissociation exclusively of vacant ribosomes rather than of programmed ribosomes carrying tRNAs. As a consequence, RsfS reduces the abundance of the cellular translational apparatus, and the EF-G dependent burst of GTP cleavage in the presence of vacant 70S ribosomes as well as with 30S and 50S subunits is decreased. These observations hint to a regulatory role of RsfS by utilizing cellular resource in an economic way under conditions, where the amino acids are limited and energy has to be saved.

R-proteins in modification deficient ribosomes - free 50S subunits

Project description:Ribosomal RNA modifications are introduced by specific enzymes during ribosome assembly in bacteria. Deletion of individual modification enzymes has a minor effect on bacterial growth, ribosome biogenesis, and translation, which has complicated the definition of the function of the enzymes and their products. We have constructed an E. coli strain lacking 10 genes encoding enzymes that modify 23S rRNA around the peptidyl-transferase center. This strain exhibits severely compromised growth and ribosome assembly, especially at lower temperatures. Ribosomal protein composition of the mature 50S ribosomes and free 50S subunits was analyzed by SILAC based qMS approach. We have found that absence of 23S rRNA modifications around PTC does not affect significantly r-protein content of incompletely assembled 50S or mature 50S ribosomes.

Ribosome protein composition in wt and 23S+5S rRNA ribosomes

Project description:The 120-nt long 5S rRNA, is an indispensable component of cytoplasmic ribosomes in all living organisms. The functions of 5S rRNA and the reasons for its evolutionary preservation as an independent molecule remain unclear. Here we used ribosome engineering to investigate whether maintaining 5S rRNA as an independent molecule is critical for ribosome function and cell survival. By fusing circularly permutated 5S rRNA (cp5S) with 23S rRNA and deleting all wild type 5S rRNA genes, we generated an Escherichia coli strain completely devoid of free 5S rRNA. Viability of the engineered cells demonstrates that autonomous 5S rRNA is not required for cell growth at 37°C and is unlikely to have essential functions outside the ribosome. The fully-assembled ribosomes carrying 23S-cp5S hybrid rRNA and lacking free 5S rRNA are highly active in translation. However, the engineered cells accumulate aberrant 50S subunits that are unable to form stable 70S ribosomes. Cryo-EM analysis revealed a dramatically malformed peptidyl transferase center in the misassembled 50S subunits. The results of our experiments argue that the key evolutionary force preserving the autonomous nature of the smallest rRNA is its role in ribosome biogenesis.

RRF plays critical roles in ribosome homeostasis in E. coli but has little effect on translational coupling

Project description:We used ribosome profiling to characterize the biological role of ribosome recycling factor (RRF) in Escherichia coli. As expected, RRF depletion leads to enrichment of post-termination 70S complexes in 3′-UTRs. We also observe that elongating ribosomes are unable to complete translation because they are blocked by non-recycled ribosomes at stop codons. Previous studies have suggested a role for recycling in translational coupling within operons; if a ribosome remains bound to an mRNA after termination, it may re-initiate downstream. We found, however, that RRF depletion did not significantly affect coupling efficiency in reporter assays or in ribosome density genome-wide. These findings argue that re-initiation is not a major mechanism of translational coupling in E. coli. Finally, RRF depletion has dramatic effects on the activity of ribosome rescue factors tmRNA and ArfA. Our results provide a global view of the effects of the loss of ribosome recycling on protein synthesis in E. coli.
