ABSTRACT: We replaced the DED1 ORF with DBP1 and tested vegetative growth at 30C or 37C to determine helicase specificity and temperature-dependent effects. We found that DBP1 expressing cells do not downregulate all of the housekeeping genes that DED1 expressing cells normally down regulate at high temperature
Project description:We analyzed the effect of deleting the gene encoding putative RNA helicase DBP1 in budding yeast on translational efficiencies (TEs) genome wide in wild-type or ded1-ts (temperature-sensitive allele of DED1) strains by combining ribosome footprint profiling with RNA-seq analysis of mRNA abundance. This study includes a total of 32 samples comprised of 16 RNA-Seq samples (mRNA) and 16 ribosome footprint profiling samples (ribo). Experiment 1 includes 8 samples, comprised of 4 RNA-Seq samples and 4 ribosome footprint profiling samples, derived from 2 biological replicates each of the dbp1Δ and ded1-ts dbp1Δ mutant strains, cultured in synthetic complete (SC) medium, following shifts in growth temperature from 30°C to 37°C for 2h. Experiment 2 examines the effect of overexpression of DBP1 in rescuing genome-wide translational defects of a ded1-cs mutant (cold-sensitive allele of DED1) and includes 12 samples, 6 RNA-Seq samples and 6 ribosome footprint profiling samples, derived from 2 biological replicates each of WT DED1 (dubbed DED1-CS), ded1-cs and ded1-cs overexpressing DBP1 (ded1-cs_hcDBP1) strains, cultured in SC-Leu-His medium, following shifts in growth temperature from 30°C to 15°C for 10 min. Experiment 3 examines rescue of translational defects of ded1-ts by DBP1 overexpression and includes 12 samples, 6 RNA-Seq samples and 6 ribosome footprint profiling samples, derived from 2 biological replicates each of WT DED1(DED1-TS), ded1-ts and ded1-ts overexpressing DBP1 (ded1-ts_hcDBP1) strains, cultured in SC-Leu-His medium, following shifts in growth temperature from 30°C to 37°C for 2h.
Project description:We replaced the DED1 ORF with DBP1 and inserted this either twice or four times in a diploid cell. We determined that with twice as much DBP1 expressable, the same amount of protein was made as for DED1, and there were few changes in gene expression. The transcripts that were translated better with DED1 were ones with highly structured 5' leaders, consistent with Dbp1 acting as a less effective initiation helicase than Ded1.

Project description:DEAD-box RNA helicases eIF4A and Ded1 are believed to promote translation initiation by resolving mRNA secondary structures that impede ribosome attachment at the mRNA 5’ end or subsequent scanning of the 5’UTR, but whether they perform distinct functions or act redundantly in vivo is poorly understood. We compared the effects of mutations in Ded1 or eIF4A on global translational efficiencies (TEs) in yeast by ribosome footprint profiling. Despite similar reductions in bulk translation, inactivation of a cold-sensitive Ded1 mutant substantially reduced the TEs of >600 mRNAs, whereas inactivation of a temperature-sensitive eIF4A mutant yielded <40 similarly impaired mRNAs. The broader requirement for Ded1 did not reflect more pervasive secondary structures at low temperature, as inactivation of temperature-sensitive and cold-sensitive ded1 mutants gave highly correlated results. Interestingly, Ded1-dependent mRNAs exhibit greater than average 5’UTR length and propensity for secondary structure, implicating Ded1 in scanning though structured 5' UTRs. Reporter assays confirmed that cap- distal stem-loop insertions increase dependence on Ded1 but not eIF4A for efficient translation. While only a small fraction of mRNAs is strongly dependent on eIF4A, this dependence is significantly correlated with requirements for Ded1 and 5’UTR features characteristic of Ded1- dependent mRNAs. Our findings suggest that Ded1 is critically required to promote scanning through secondary structures within 5’UTRs; and while eIF4A cooperates with Ded1 in this function, it also promotes a step of initiation common to virtually all yeast mRNAs. We compared the effects of mutations in Ded1 or eIF4A on global translational efficiencies (TEs) in yeast by ribosome footprint profiling.The study includes 32 samples, comprised of 16 mRNA-Seq samples and 16 ribosome footprint profiling samples, derived from biological replicates of 3 mutant strains, ded1-cs, ded1-ts and tif1-ts, and the corresponding wild-type strains. The tif1-ts mutant and its wild-type counterpart were analyzed at 30°C and 37°C.

Project description:We used CRISPR/Cas9 to delete the DBP1 ORF in SK1 budding yeast cells. We then used ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq to observe gene expression profiles of wild-type and dbp1∆ cells during meiosis.
Project description:Previous deleitons of the DBP1 locus suffered from an off-target effect due to cassette insertion (Powers et al, eLife, 2022). Here, we made a markerless deletion to assess gene expression in meiosis with and without Dbp1. Although it is normally highly expressed in this context, its deletion does not cause a major defect in meiotic progression or gene expression.
