TRNA regulation and amino acid usage bias reflect a coordinated metabolic adaptation in Plasmodium falciparum [RNA-Seq III]

ABSTRACT: An adaptive feature of malaria-causing parasites is the digestion of host hemoglobin (HB) to acquire amino acids (AAs). Here we describe a link between nutrient availability and translation dependent regulation of gene expression as an adaptive strategy. We show that tRNA expression in Plasmodium falciparum does not match the decoding need expected for optimal translation. A subset of tRNAs decoding AAs that are insufficiently provided by HB are lowly expressed, wherein the abundance of a protein-coding transcript is negatively correlated with the decoding requirement of these tRNAs. Proliferation-related genes have evolved a high requirement of these tRNAs, thereby proliferation can be modulated by repressing protein synthesis of these genes during nutrient stress. We conclude that the parasite modulates translation elongation by maintaining a discordant tRNA profile to exploit variations in AA-composition among genes as an adaptation strategy. This study exemplifies metabolic adaptation as an important driving force for protein evolution.

Ribosome footprinting of wild-type Col-0 and rlmnl3 mutant

Project description:In the present study, we discover the presence of m2A in chloroplast rRNA and tRNA, as well as cytosolic tRNA, in multiple plant species. We identify six m2A-modified chloroplast tRNAs and two m2A-modified cytosolic tRNAs across different plants. Furthermore, we characterize three Arabidopsis m2A methyltransferases—RLMNL1, RLMNL2, and RLMNL3—which methylate chloroplast rRNA, chloroplast tRNA, and cytosolic tRNA, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that m2A37 promotes a relaxed conformation of tRNA, enhancing translation efficiency in chloroplast and cytosol by facilitating decoding of tandem m2A-tRNA-dependent codons. This study provides insights into the molecular function and biological significance of m2A, uncovering a layer of translation regulation in plants.

Global Translational Impacts of the Loss of the tRNA Modification t6A in Yeast

Project description:The universal tRNA modification t6A is found at position 37 of nearly all tRNAs decoding ANN codons. The importance of t6A in decoding has been studied for the past 40 years, but the cellular role has remained unclear. In this work, we examined the genome-wide effect to translation during the absence of t6A. In accordance with the previous experiments using single gene reporters, absence of t6A led to a increase of upstream non-AUG initiation of translation and increased translation ambiguities. Surprisingly, absence of t6A did not lead to a global and cataclysmic frame-shifting, but instead occurred only in a few genes. Restoration of protein homeostasis through the overexpression of Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) factors or the addition of L-homoserine suppressed the slow growth phenotype seen in t6A-defcient strains. 4 samples

Specific tRNAs promote mRNA decay by recruiting the CCR4-NOT complex to translating ribosomes (Ribo-seq)

Project description:The CCR4-NOT complex is a major regulator of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) stability. Slow decoding during translation promotes association of CCR4-NOT with ribosomes, accelerating mRNA degradation. We applied selective ribosome profiling to further investigate the determinants of CCR4-NOT recruitment to ribosomes in mammalian cells. This revealed that specific arginine codons in the P-site are strong signals for ribosomal recruitment of human CNOT3, a CCR4-NOT subunit. Cryo–electron microscopy and transfer RNA (tRNA) mutagenesis demonstrated that the D-arms of select arginine tRNAs interact with CNOT3 and promote its recruitment whereas other tRNA D-arms sterically clash with CNOT3. These effects link codon content to mRNA stability. Thus, in addition to their canonical decoding function, tRNAs directly engage regulatory complexes during translation, a mechanism we term P-site tRNA-mediated mRNA decay.

Nutritional control of protein translation

Project description:Regulation of protein translation is a key feature of many biological processes. Global protein translation as well as translation at the codon level can be regulated by RNA modifications. These modifications are particularly enriched in tRNAs, where they represent an additional regulatory layer on top of the primary RNA sequence. In eukaryotes, levels of tRNA queuosinylation reflect the bioavailability of the precursor queuine, which is salvaged from the gut microbiota and absorbed in the intestine. We show here that reduced queuine supply results in a strong reduction of tRNA queuosinylation in various cultured human cell lines and mouse tissues. In addition, Dnmt2-dependent tRNA methylation is dynamically modulated by the presence or absence of queuine. Ribosome profiling showed that nutritionally determined queuosine-tRNA (Q-tRNA) levels control the translation speed of Q-tRNA decoded codons. Dysregulation of translation resulted in pronounced endoplasmic reticulum stress and activation of the unfolded protein response, which could be rescued by the addition of queuine. Together, these findings establish a direct link between nutrient availability and the decoding of the transcriptome, thus providing a new perspective in our understanding of translational regulation.

Suppressor mutant screening lacking growth-essential tRNA modification in bacteria

Project description:Post-transcriptional modifications are important for transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to be efficient and accurate in translation on the ribosome. The m1G37 modification on a subset of tRNAs in bacteria are generated by a conserved methyltransferase TrmD and is essential for bacterial growth. Previous studies showed that m1G37 has an important role in preventing translational frameshifting and also that this modification is coupled with aminoacylation of tRNAs for proline. Here we performed suppressor screening to isolate a mutant E. coli cell that lacks TrmD but is viable, and the whole-genome sequencing revealed several mutations on prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS) gene conferring cell viability in the absence of TrmD. Biochemical assays confirmed uncoupling of m1G37 modification and aminoacylation, and cell-based assays uncovered the critical role of m1G37 in supporting Wobble decoding.

Optimization of codon translation rates via tRNA modifications maintains proteome integrity

Project description:Proteins begin to fold as they emerge from translating ribosomes. The kinetics of ribosome transit along a given mRNA can influence nascent chain folding, but the extent to which individual codon translation rates impact proteome integrity remains unknown. Here, we show that slower decoding of discrete codons elicits widespread protein aggregation in vivo. Using ribosome profiling, we find that loss of anticodon wobble uridine (U34) modifications in a subset of tRNAs leads to ribosome pausing at their cognate codons in S. cerevisiae and C. elegans. Yeast cells lacking U34 modifications exhibit gene expression hallmarks of proteotoxic stress and accumulate aggregates of endogenous proteins with key cellular functions. Moreover, these cells are severely compromised in clearing stress-induced protein aggregates. Overexpression of hypomodified tRNAs alleviates ribosome pausing, concomitantly restoring protein homeostasis. Our findings demonstrate that modified U34 is an evolutionarily conserved accelerator of decoding and reveal an unanticipated role for tRNA anticodon modifications in maintaining proteome integrity. Ribosome profiling of wild-type and tRNA modification-deficient yeast and nematodes. Yeast samples were generated in various growth conditions (rich medium versus stress induced by treatment with diamide or rapamycin) and paired mRNA-Seq was performed on a subset of samples. Dataset contains three biological replicates for yeast samples and two biological replicates for nematode samples.
