RNA polymerase stalling-derived genome instability underlies ribosomal antibiotic efficacy and resistance evolution

ABSTRACT: In bacteria, the precise coordination of DNA replication, transcription and translation is mediated by dynamic interactions among the corresponding macromolecular machineries, playing a pivotal role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Here we showed that such coordination could be hijacked by ribosome antibiotics to trigger secondary damage predominantly contributing to their efficacy, via a yet overlooked reverse-central-dogma pathway. Through the utilization of a self-establishing transcription dynamics profiling method, complemented by genetic and biochemical approaches, we unveil that the disruption of transcription-translation coupling leads to premature stalling of RNA polymerase (RNAP) at genome scale, subsequently triggering extensive genomic instability. Moreover, a distinct subpopulation exhibits hyperactivation of the SOS response, facilitating an inducible evolutionary path towards genetic resistance characterized by a unique mutation spectrum. Our findings reveal the emergence of secondary drug damage resulting from network disorder, and establish a framework to understand antibiotic efficacy and induced mutagenesis from a systems biology perspective.

RNAP stalling-derived genome instability underlies ribosomal antibiotics efficacy and resistance evolution

Project description:Bacteria often evolve antibiotic resistance through mutagenesis. However, the processes causing the mutagenesis have not been fully resolved. Here we found that a broad range of ribosome-targeting antibiotics caused mutations through an underexplored pathway. Focusing on the clinically important aminoglycoside gentamicin, we found that the translation inhibitor caused genome-wide premature stalling of RNA polymerase (RNAP) in a loci-dependent manner. Further analysis showed that the stalling was caused by disruption of transcription-translation coupling. Anti-intuitively, the stalled RNAPs subsequently induced lesions to the DNA via transcription-coupled repair. While most of the bacteria were killed by genotoxicity, a small subpopulation acquired mutations via SOS-induced mutagenesis. Given that these processes were triggered shortly after antibiotic addition, resistance rapidly emerged in the population. Our work revealed a new mechanism of action of ribosomal antibiotics, illustrates the importance of dissecting the complex interplay between multiple molecular processes in understanding antibiotic efficacy, and suggests new strategies for countering the development of resistance.

Inosine induces context-dependent recoding and translational stalling

Project description:To test how inosine in a codon is translated, we synthesized short reporter-transcripts coding for an N-terminal Flag-tag and a test-peptide containing inosine in one defined codon. All codons containing inosines in at least one position were tested. Codons that would lead to ambiguous translation products were omitted. The transcripts were generated using in vitro transcription with ITP instead of GTP and subsequently in vitro translated using rabbit reticulocyte lysate and resulting peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The templates for in vitro transcription were generated using linearized DNA plasmids.

DksA Guards Elongating RNA Polymerase Against Ribosome-Stalling-Induced Arrest

Project description:In bacteria, translation-transcription coupling inhibits RNA polymerase (RNAP) stalling. We present evidence suggesting that, upon amino acid starvation, inactive ribosomes promote rather than inhibit RNAP stalling. We developed an algorithm to evaluate genome-wide polymerase progression independently of local noise, and used it to reveal that the transcription factor DksA inhibits promoter-proximal pausing and increases RNAP elongation when uncoupled from translation by depletion of charged tRNAs. DksA has minimal effect on RNAP elongation in vitro and on untranslated RNAs in vivo. In these cases, transcripts can form RNA structures that prevent backtracking. Thus, the effect of DksA on transcript elongation may occur primarily upon ribosome slowing/stalling or at promoter-proximal locations that limit the potential for RNA structure. We propose that inactive ribosomes prevent formation of backtrackblocking mRNA structures and that, in this circumstance, DksA acts as a transcription elongation factor in vivo. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments were performed by using antibodies against RNA polymerase b subunit in wild-type and DdksA cells treated with 0.5mg/ml serine hydroxamate (SHX) or untreated. DksA and s70 enrichments were compared to RNAP enrichment by ChIP experiments using antibodies against s70 and DksA in wild-type cells (also in DdksA cells as a negative control for DksA ChIP-chip). Differentially labeled ChIP DNA and genomic DNA were competitively hybridized to an E. coli K-12 MG1655 tiling array with overlapping probes at ~12bp spacing across the entire genome. The series contains 19 datasets.

H2B mono-ubiquitylation facilitates fork stalling and recovery during replication stress by coordinating Rad53 activation and chromatin assembly

Project description:The influence of mono-ubiquitylation of histone H2B (H2Bub) on transcription via nucleosome reassembly has been widely documented. Recently, it has also been shown that H2Bub promotes recovery from replication stress; however, the underling molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that H2B ubiquitylation coordinates activation of the intra-S replication checkpoint and chromatin re-assembly, in order to limit fork progression and DNA damage in the presence of replication stress. In particular, we show that the absence of H2Bub affects replication dynamics (enhanced fork progression and reduced origin firing), leading to γH2A accumulation and increased hydroxyurea sensitivity. Further genetic analysis indicates a role for H2Bub in transducing Rad53 phosphorylation. Concomitantly, we found that a change in replication dynamics is not due to a change in dNTP level, but is mediated by reduced Rad53 activation and destabilization of the RecQ helicase Sgs1 at the fork. Furthermore, we demonstrate that H2Bub facilitates the dissociation of the histone chaperone Asf1 from Rad53, and nucleosome reassembly behind the fork is compromised in cells lacking H2Bub. Taken together, these results indicate that the regulation of H2B ubiquitylation is a key event in the maintenance of genome stability, through coordination of intra-S checkpoint activation, chromatin assembly and replication fork progression. S.cerevisiae oligonucleotide microarrays were provided by Affymetrix (S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0R, P/N 900645). BrdU and proteins ChIP-chip analyses were carried out as described (Fachinetti et al., M Cell, 2010).

A Multi-Parameter Analysis of Cellular Coordination of Major Transcriptome Regulation Mechanisms

Project description:To understand cellular coordination of multiple transcriptome regulation mechanisms, we simultaneously measured transcription rate (TR), mRNA abundance (RA) and translation activity (TA). This revealed multiple quantitative insights. First, the genomic profiles of the three parameters are systematically different in key statistical features. Sequentially more genes exhibit extreme low or high expression values from TR to RA, then to TA. That is, because of cellular coordination of these regulatory mechanisms, sequentially higher levels of gene expression selectivity are achieved as genetic information flow from the genome to the proteome. Second, the contribution of the stabilization-by-translation regulatory mechanism to the cellular coordination process was assessed. The data enabled an estimation of mRNA stability, revealing a moderate but significant positive correlation between the estimated mRNA stability and translation activity. Third, the proportion of a mRNA occupied by un-translated regions (UTR) exhibits a negative relationship with the level of this correlation, and is thus a major determinant of the mode of regulation of the mRNA. High-UTR-proportion mRNAs tend to defy the stabilization-by-translation regulatory mechanism, staying out of the polysome but remaining stable; mRNAs with little UTRs largely follow this regulation. In summary, we quantitatively delineated the relationship among multiple transcriptome regulation parameters, i.e., cellular coordination of corresponding regulatory mechanisms.
