Stalled ribosomes are signals for metabolic regulation by the ribotoxic stress response

ABSTRACT: Impairment of translation can lead to stalling and collision of ribosomes which constitute an activation platform for several ribosomal stress-surveillance pathways. Among these is the Ribotoxic Stress Response (RSR), where ribosomal sensing by the MAP3K ZAKa leads to activation of p38 and JNK kinases. Despite these insights, the physiological ramifications of ribosomal impairment and downstream RSR signaling remain elusive. Here we show that stalling of ribosomes is sufficient to activate ZAKa. In response to amino acid deprivation and full nutrient starvation, RSR impacts on the ensuing metabolic responses in cells, nematodes and mice. The RSR-regulated responses in these model systems include regulation of AMPK and mTOR signaling, survival under starvation conditions, stress hormone production and regulation of blood sugar control. In addition, ZAK-/- mice present with a lean phenotype. Our work highlights stalled ribosomes as metabolic signals and demonstrates a role for RSR signaling in metabolic regulation.

ROS-induced translation impairment underlies ZAK-mediated metabolic decline in obesity and aging

Project description:The ribotoxic stress response (RSR) denotes a signaling pathway in which the p38 and JNK-activating MAP3 kinase ZAKalpha senses stalling and/or collision of ribosomes with unknown physiological implications. Here, we show that reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating agents robustly trigger translational impairment and ZAKalpha activation. As a testament to the physiological importance of this signaling pathway, zebrafish larvae deficient for the ZAKalpha kinase are protected from ROS-induced pathology and death. Furthermore, livers of mice fed a ROS-generating and obesogenic diet accrue ZAKalpha-activating and antioxidant-reversed ribosomal stalls and collisions. Highlighting a role for the RSR in metabolic regulation, ZAK knockout (KO) mice are protected from developing insulin resistance and liver steatosis under these conditions. Finally, aged chow-fed ZAK KO mice do not display the normal hallmarks of metabolic aging. In sum, our work highlights ROS-induced translational impairment as a physiological activation signal for ZAKalpha that underlies metabolic adaptation in obesity and aging.

ROS-induced ribosome stalling and collision underlies ZAKalpha-mediated metabolic decline in obesity and aging

Project description:The ribotoxic stress response (RSR) denotes a signaling pathway in which the p38 and JNK-activating MAP3 kinase ZAKalpha senses stalling and/or collision of ribosomes with unknown physiological implications. Here, we show that reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating agents robustly trigger translational impairment and ZAKalpha activation. Underscoring the physiological importance of this signaling pathway, zebrafish larvae deficient for the ZAKalpha kinase are protected from ROS-induced pathology and death. Furthermore, livers of mice fed a ROS-generating and obesogenic diet exhibit ZAKalpha-activating changes in ribosomal elongation dynamics. Highlighting a role for the RSR in metabolic regulation, ZAK knockout (KO) mice are protected from developing high-fat diet-induced blood glucose intolerance and liver steatosis under these conditions. Finally, ZAK ablation slows animals from developing hallmarks of metabolic aging. In sum, our work highlights ROS-induced translational impairment as a physiological activation signal for ZAKalpha that underlies metabolic adaptation in obesity and aging.

ZAKα Recognizes Stalled Ribosomes through Partially Redundant Sensor Domains

Project description:Impairment of ribosome function activates the MAPKKK ZAK, leading to activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases p38 and JNK and inflammatory signaling. The mechanistic basis for activation of this ribotoxic stress response (RSR) re-mains completely obscure. We show that the long isoform of ZAK (ZAKα) directly associates with ribosomes by inserting its flexible C terminus into the ribosomal intersubunit space. Here, ZAKα binds helix14 of 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA). An adjacent domainin ZAKa also probes the ribosome, and together, these sensor domains are critically required for RSR activation after inhibition of both the E-site, the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), and ribotoxinaction. Finally, we show that ablation of the RSR response leads to organismal phenotypes and decreased lifespan in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). Our findings yield mechanistic insight into how cells detect ribotoxic stress and provide experimental in vivo evidence for its physiological importance.

Bump-finder: identification of causal codons to the stalling of ribosomes

Project description:Stalling of the ribosomes on the mRNA has been linked to myriad of molecular and biological functions. While a multitude of algorithms predict codon-usage in ribosome profiling data, no tool exists to predict the context-specific stalling of ribosomes on transcripts. Combining these two features can reveal unprecedented insights in the ribosomal function and their usage across cells and conditions. To overcome this lack of tools to comprehensively analyze these features, we created Bumpfinder, a web-server, that provides comprehensive analytical details on differences in total ribosome occupancy on transcripts, ribosomal occupancy across codons, ribosome-stalling and the underlying causal amino-acids/codons, as well as collisions. Employing Bumpfinder on generated and publicly available ribosome-profiling datasets, we studied the response of various cell types to amino-acid starvation conditions. We observed interesting patterns in response to the biological effects, suggesting the impact of quality control mechanisms of protein synthesis. Complimentary analysis of collided ribosomes demonstrated phased ribosome stalling on the identified sites. Thus, by deciphering context-specific ribosome distribution, Bumpfinder provides unprecedented molecular insights in the ribosome function and mRNA translation during stress response conditions.

Exploring the Protective Role of Caffeine against Taraxacum-Induced Ribotoxic Stress: Insights into Autophagy and Mitochondrial Depolarization

Project description:Background: The ribotoxic stress response (RSR) is a pathway that gets activated when ribosomes get impaired, leading to disruptions in protein synthesis, increased inflammatory signaling, and cell death if left unresolved. Taraxacum can induce apoptosis-associated ribosomal RNA (rRNA) cleavage, however, the exact working mechanism of Taraxacum-induced rRNA cleavage remains unclear. Methods: The RNA integrity (RIN) value, 28S/18S ratio, mRNAs, and proteins were for the drug screening for Taraxacum-induced rRNA cleavage process. Flowcytometry analysis was to examine the effects on necrosis, apoptosis, ROS, and mitochondrial membrane potential of Taraxacum-induced cells. Results: We first used the RIN value and 28S/18S ratio to confirm the integrity of experiments. Our RNA sequencing data showed that T. formosanum upregulated 893 genes and downregulated 509 genes and triggered hallmark genes of spliceosomes, TNF-α signaling via NF-κB, inflammatory response, and IL6-JAK-STAT3 signaling. Additionally, T. formosanum imbalanced the levels of ribosomal proteins of the large and small subunits. We found that caffeine was the only screening agent that could rescue the cleavage of 28S and 18S rRNA induced by T. formosanum. However, caffeine failed to rescue T. formosanum-targeted mRNAs when the RIN values were relatively lower. T. formosanum induced the N-terminal clipping of histone H3, which was observed not only in human HeLa cervical cancer cells but also in human Huh6 and HepG2 liver cancer cells. Conclusion: Our study revealed that caffeine could reverse the effects of T. formosanum on the reduction of autophagy and the disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential. However, caffeine could only change the populations of necrotic and apoptotic cells but not T. formosanum-induced cell death.

Poly-GR impairs translation elongation and increases ribotoxic stress response in C9ORF72-ALS/FTD

Project description:Hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene is the most frequent inherited cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Poly-GR is one of the most toxic dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins translated from the RNA repeats. It has been shown to affect protein synthesis, but how this contributes to neurodegeneration is not clear. Here, we found that poly-GR inhibits global translation by perturbing translation elongation. We identified that the transcripts with relatively slow elongation rate tend to be further stalled by poly-GR in iPSC-differentiated neurons. This increases ribosome collision and ZAKα-mediated ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which elevates the phosphorylation of p38 and promotes cell death. Knockdown of ZAKα or pharmacological inhibition of p38 can ameliorate the GR toxicity, and improve the survival of C9ORF72-ALS/FTD patient-derived iPSC-neurons. Our study reveals molecular mechanism of poly-GR mediated toxicity on global translatome, and identifies RSR as a potential therapeutic target for C9ORF72-ALS/FTD.

Translation-coupled sensing and degradation of RNA-protein crosslinks [Ribo-Seq: dataset_1]

Project description:Reactive aldehydes are abundant cytotoxic metabolites, which challenge homoeostasis by crosslinking cellular macromolecules. Aldehyde-induced DNA-DNA crosslinks cause cancer and bone marrow failure in Fanconi anemia, while covalent DNA-protein crosslinks require proteolytic repair to prevent liver tumours and premature ageing. Whether RNA damage contributes to the toxicity of aldehydes and whether cells possess mechanisms to resolve RNA-protein crosslinks (RPCs) in particular is unknown. Studying the specific consequences of aldehyde-induced RNA damage is challenging due to confounding induction of DNA damage. Here, we establish photoactivatable ribonucleosides as a tractable model system to study aldehyde-mimicking RNA damage in the absence of DNA damage. We find that RNA crosslinking damage causes translational stress by stalling elongating ribosomes, which causes cell death upon ZAKα-dependent activation of the ribotoxic stress response (RSR) and GCN2-dependent activation of the integrated stress response (ISR). Moreover, we discover the principles of a translation-coupled cellular quality control mechanism that targets RPCs. Collisions between translating ribosomes and crosslinked mRNA-binding proteins trigger their ubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Our findings reveal RNA damage and RPC formation as a central aspect of aldehyde-induced toxicity and establish a framework to study the cellular responses to these threats in mechanistic detail.
