Expression analysis of WT, efk-1, cep-1, and zip-2 mutant C. elegans strains in fed and starved condition

ABSTRACT: Cells and organisms frequently experience starvation. To adapt and survive, they mount an evolutionarily conserved stress response. A vital component in the mammalian starvation response is eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) kinase (eEF2K), which responds to starvation by phosphorylating and inactivating the translation elongation driver eEF2, thus shutting down translation and facilitating survival. C. elegans efk-1/eEF2K phosphorylates EEF-2/eEF2 on a conserved residue and is required for starvation survival, but how it promotes survival remains unclear. Surprisingly, we found that eEF2 phosphorylation is unchanged in starved C. elegans, suggesting that efk-1 promotes survival via a noncanonical pathway. We show that efk-1 upregulates transcription of the DNA repair pathways, nucleotide excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER), to promote starvation survival. Furthermore, efk-1 suppresses oxygen consumption and ROS production in starvation to prevent oxidative stress. Thus, efk-1 enables starvation survival by protecting animals from starvation-induced oxidative damage through a translation-independent pathway.

Crosstalk between eIF2α and eEF2 phosphorylation pathways optimizes translational arrest in response to oxidative stress

Project description:The cellular stress response triggers a cascade of events leading to transcriptional reprogramming and a transient inhibition of global protein synthesis, which is thought to be mediated by phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor-2α (eIF2α). Using mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and the fission yeast S. pombe, we report that rapid translational arrest and cell survival in response to hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress do not rely on eIF2a kinases and eIF2a phosphorylation. Rather H2O2 induces a block in elongation through phosphorylation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2). Kinetic and dose-response analyses uncovered crosstalk between the eIF2a and eEF2 phosphorylation pathways, indicating that, in MEFs, eEF2 phosphorylation initiates the acute shutdown in translation, which is maintained by eIF2a phosphorylation. Our results challenge the common conception that eIF2a phosphorylation is the primary trigger of translational arrest in response to oxidative stress and point to integrated control that may facilitate the survival of cancer cells.

Dissecting the interface between ARID1A and mRNA translation in bladder cancer (CUT&Tag)

Project description:Chromatin remodeling and protein synthesis are tightly regulated processes that impact gene expression and cellular phenotypes. However, it is unknown if these two regulatory mechanisms are linked or exert independent effects in normal epithelial physiology and disease states. We have uncovered a new functional relationship between the chromatin remodeler ARID1A and mRNA translation elongation that is involved in maintaining cellular fitness in the context of bladder carcinogenesis. Loss of ARID1A triggers inhibition of the translation elongation factor eEF2 and ribosome accumulation, which results in a reduction in protein synthesis. In the setting of ARID1A deficiency the bladder carcinogen BBN induces DNA damage and cell death without impacting cancer initiation. As such, ARID1A is necessary for tumorigenesis. Remarkably, restoration of translation elongation through eEF2 is sufficient to initiate transformation in the context of ARID1A loss. However, dependence on ARID1A for transformation appears to be context specific, as loss of ARID1A after tumor establishment is sufficient for cancer progression.

Regulation of Translation Elongation Revealed by Ribosome Profiling [Dataset_1]

Project description:Ribosomes undergo substantial conformational changes during translation elongation to accommodate incoming aminoacyl-tRNAs and translocate along the mRNA template. We used multiple elongation inhibitors and chemical probing to define ribosome conformational states corresponding to different sized ribosome-protected mRNA fragments (RPFs) generated by ribosome profiling. We show using various genetic and environmental perturbations that the previously identified 20-22 nucleotide (nt) RPFs correspond predominantly to ribosomes in a pre-accommodation state with an open 40S ribosomal A site while the classical 27-29 nt fragments correspond to ribosomes in a pre-translocation state with an occupied 40S ribosomal A site. These distinct ribosome conformational states revealed by ribosome profiling are seen in all eukaryotes tested including fungi, worms and mammals. This high-resolution ribosome profiling approach reveals the anticipated Rck2-dependent inhibition of translocation through eEF2 phosphorylation during hyperosmotic stress. These same approaches reveal a strong translation elongation arrest during oxidative stress where the ribosomes are trapped in a pre-translocation state, but in this case the translational arrest is independent of Rck2-driven eEF2 phosphorylation. These results provide new insights and approaches for defining the molecular events that impact translation elongation throughout biology.

Role of eEF2 diphthamide modification in translational fidelity

Project description:Diphthamide (DPH) is a conserved amino acid modification on eukaryotic translation elongation factor eEF2. We show that loss of DPH increases -1 ribosomal frameshifting at both programmed, including in SARS-CoV-2, and non-programmed sites. Ribosome profiling of yeast and mammalian cells lacking DPH reveals increased ribosomal drop-off during elongation. The drop-off defect on the long yeast MDN1 gene was suppressed by eliminating out-of-frame stop codons. Our data reveal that loss of DPH impairs the fidelity of translocation during translation elongation resulting in increased rates of ribosomal frameshifting and premature termination at out-of-frame stop codons.

Translation elongation factor 2 depletion by siRNA in mouse liver leads to mTOR-independent translational upregulation of ribosomal protein genes

Project description:Due to breakthroughs in RNAi and genome editing methods in the past decade, it is now easier than ever to study fine details of protein synthesis in animal models. However, most of our understanding of translation comes from unicellular organisms and cultured mammalian cells. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of perturbing protein synthesis in a mouse liver by targeting translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2) with RNAi. We were able to achieve over 90% knockdown efficacy and maintain it for 2 weeks effectively slowing down the rate of translation elongation. As the total protein yield declined, both proteomics and ribosome profiling assays showed robust translational upregulation of ribosomal proteins relative to other proteins. Although all these genes bear the TOP regulatory motif, the branch of the mTOR pathway responsible for translation regulation was not activated. Paradoxically, coordinated translational upregulation of ribosomal proteins only occurred in the liver but not in murine cell culture. Thus, the upregulation of ribosomal transcripts likely occurred via passive mTOR-independent mechanisms. Impaired elongation sequesters ribosomes on mRNA and creates a shortage of free ribosomes. This leads to preferential translation of transcripts with high initiation rates such as ribosomal proteins. Furthermore, severe eEF2 shortage reduces the negative impact of positively charged amino acids frequent in ribosomal proteins on ribosome progression.

eEF3 promotes late stages of tRNA translocation on the ribosome

Project description:In addition to the conserved translation elongation factors eEF1A and eEF2, fungi require a third essential elongation factor, eEF3. While eEF3 has been implicated in tRNA binding and release at the A and E sites, its exact mechanism of action is unclear. Here we show that eEF3 acts at the mRNA–tRNA translocation step by promoting the dissociation of the tRNA from the E site, but independent of aminoacyl-tRNA recruitment to the A site. Depletion of eEF3 in vivo leads to a general slow-down in translation elongation due to accumulation of ribosomes with an occupied A site. Cryo-EM analysis of native eEF3-ribosome complexes shows that eEF3 facilitates late steps of translocation by favoring non-rotated ribosomal states as well as by opening the L1 stalk to release the E-site tRNA. Additionally, our analysis provides structural insights into novel translation elongation states, enabling presentation of a revised yeast translation elongation cycle.
