Upstream open reading frame translation enhances immunogenic peptide presentation in mitotically arrested cancer cells

ABSTRACT: Mitosis is a critical phase of the cell cycle and a vulnerable point where cancer cells can be effectively disrupted, leading to cell death and inhibition of tumor growth. However, challenges such as drug resistance remain significant in clinical applications. During mitosis, mRNA translation is generally downregulated, while non-canonical translation of specific transcripts proceeds. Here, we demonstrate that mitotic cancer cells redistribute ribosomes toward the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) and the start of the coding sequence (CDS), enhancing the translation of thousands of upstream open reading frames (uORFs) and upstream overlapping open reading frames (uoORFs). This mitotic induction of uORF/uoORF enriches the presentation of immunopeptides at the surface of cancer cells following treatment with mitotic inhibitors. Functional assays indicate the potential of such neoepitopes to provoke cancer-cell killing by T cells. Altogether, our findings highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting uORF/uoORF-derived neoepitopes in combination with mitotic inhibitors to enhance immune recognition and tumor cell elimination.

Nuclear release of eIF1 restricts start-codon selection during mitosis

Project description:Regulated start-codon selection has the potential to reshape the proteome through the differential production of upstream open reading frames, canonical proteins, and alternative translational isoforms. However, conditions under which start codon selection is altered remain poorly defined. Here, using transcriptome-wide translation-initiation-site profiling, we reveal a global increase in the stringency of start-codon selection during mammalian mitosis. Low-efficiency initiation sites are preferentially repressed in mitosis, resulting in pervasive changes in the translation of thousands of start sites and their corresponding protein products. This enhanced stringency of start-codon selection during mitosis results from increased association between the 40S ribosome and the key regulator of start-codon selection, eIF1. We find that increased eIF1–40S ribosome interaction during mitosis is mediated by the release of a nuclear pool of eIF1 upon nuclear envelope breakdown. Selectively depleting the nuclear pool of eIF1 eliminates the change to translational stringency during mitosis, resulting in altered synthesis of thousands of protein isoforms. In addition, preventing mitotic translational rewiring results in substantially increased cell death and decreased mitotic slippage in cells that experience a mitotic delay induced by anti-mitotic chemotherapies. Thus, cells globally control stringency of translation initiation, which has critical roles during the mammalian cell cycle in preserving mitotic cell physiology.

Variation in upstream open reading frames contributes to allelic diversity in protein abundance

Project description:The 5' untranslated region (UTR) sequence of eukaryotic mRNAs may contain upstream open reading frames (uORFs), which can regulate translation of the main open reading frame (mORF). The current model of translational regulation by uORFs posits that when a ribosome scans an mRNA and encounters a uORF, translation of that uORF can prevent ribosomes from reaching the mORF and cause decreased mORF translation. In this study, we first observed that rare variants in the 5' UTR dysregulate protein abundance. Upon further investigation, we found that rare variants near the start codon of uORFs can repress or derepress mORF translation, causing allelic changes in protein abundance. This finding holds for common variants as well, and common variants that modify uORF start codons also contribute disproportionately to metabolic and whole-plant phenotypes, suggesting that translational regulation by uORFs serves an adaptive function. These results provide evidence for the mechanisms by which natural sequence variation modulates gene expression, and ultimately, phenotype.

Human medulloblastoma ASNSD1 uORF KO LC-MSMS

Project description:A hallmark of high-risk childhood medulloblastoma is the dysregulation of RNA translation. Currently, it is unknown whether medulloblastoma dysregulates the translation of putatively oncogenic non-canonical open reading frames. To address this question, we performed ribosome profiling of 32 medulloblastoma tissues and cell lines and observed widespread non-canonical ORF translation. We then developed a step-wise approach using multiple CRISPR-Cas9 screens to elucidate non-canonical ORFs and putative microproteins implicated in medulloblastoma cell survival. We determined that multiple lncRNA-ORFs and upstream open reading frames (uORFs) exhibited selective functionality independent of the main coding sequence. A microprotein encoded by one of these ORFs, ASNSD1-uORF or ASDURF, was upregulated, associated with the MYC family oncogenes, and was required for medulloblastoma cell survival through engagement with the prefoldin-like chaperone complex. Our findings underscore the fundamental importance of non-canonical ORF translation in medulloblastoma and provide a rationale to include these ORFs in future studies seeking to define new cancer targets.

Extensive uORF translation from HIV-1 transcripts elicits specific T cell immune responses in infected individuals and conditions DDX3 dependency for expression of main ORFs

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) is a complex retrovirus which relies on alternative splicing, translational and post-translational mechanisms to produce more than 15 functional proteins from its single ~10kb transcriptional unit. Here, we have applied ribosome profiling, nascent protein labelling and quantitative mass-spectrometry at different time points during infection of CD4+ T lymphocytes to characterize the translational landscape of cellular and viral transcripts during the course of infection. Our results indicate a strong impact of viral infection on host cellular transcript levels but a modest impact on global translation rates. Interestingly, analysis of ribosome profiling reads from viral transcripts reveals extensive and productive non-AUG translation of small peptides from multiple upstream open reading-frames (uORFs) located in the 5 prime long terminal repeat. Remarkably, uORF-derived peptides elicit specific T cell responses in people living with HIV suggesting a potential role in the progression of the disease. uORF translation is conserved among other retroviruses and, together with the TAR sequence, condition the dependency on DDX3 for efficient translation of the main viral open-reading frames.

Translation of upstream open reading frames in a model of neuronal differentiation

Project description:Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) initiate translation within mRNA 5’ leaders,and have the potential to altermain coding sequence(CDS) translationontranscripts in which they reside. Ribosome profiling(RP)studies suggest that translating ribosomes are pervasive within 5’ leadersacross model systems. However, the significance of this observationremains unclear. To explore a role for uORF usage in neuronal differentiation, we performed RP on undifferentiated and differentiated human neuroblastoma cells. Using a spectral coherence algorithm (SPECtre),we identify4,954uORFsacross31%of all neuroblastoma transcripts. These uORFspredominantly utilize non-AUG initiationcodonsand exhibit translational efficiencies(TE)comparable to annotated coding regions. Usage of both AUG initiated uORFs and aconservedandconsistently translated subset of non-AUG initiated uORFs correlateswith repressed CDS translation. Ribosomal protein transcripts are enriched in uORFs, and select uORFs on such transcripts were validated for expression. Withneuronal differentiation, we observedan overall positive correlation between translational shifts in uORF/CDSpairs. However,a subset of transcripts exhibit inverse shifts in translation of uORF/CDSpairs. TheseuORFsare enriched in AUG initiation sites, non-overlapping, and shorterin length. Cumulatively, CDSs downstream of uORFs characterized by persistent translation show smaller shifts in TE withneuronal differentiation relative to CDSs without a predicted uORF, suggesting that fluctuations in CDS translation are buffered by uORF translation. In sum, this work provides insights into the dynamic relationshipsand potential regulatory functionsof uORF/CDS pairs in a model of neuronal differentiation.

DAP5 enables main ORF translation on mRNAs with structured and uORF-containing 5’ leaders

Project description:Half of mammalian transcripts contain short upstream open reading frames (uORFs) that potentially regulate translation of the downstream coding sequence (CDS). The molecular mechanisms governing these events remain poorly understood. Here, we find that the non-canonical initiation factor Death-associated protein 5 (DAP5 or eIF4G2) is required for translation initiation on select transcripts. Using ribosome profiling and luciferase-based reporters coupled with mutational analysis we show that DAP5-dependent translation occurs on messenger RNAs (mRNAs) with long, structure-prone 5′ leader sequences and persistent uORF translation. These mRNAs preferentially code for signalling factors such as kinases and phosphatases. We also report that cap/eIF4F- and eIF4A-dependent recruitment of DAP5 to the mRNA facilitates main CDS, but not uORF, translation suggesting a role for DAP5 in translation re-initiation. Our study reveals important mechanistic insights into how a non-canonical translation initiation factor involved in stem cell fate shapes the synthesis of specific signalling factors.

Upstream open reading frames regulate proto-oncogene translation and encode HLA-presented immunogenic tumor antigens

Project description:Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) represent translational control elements within eukaryotic transcript leader sequences. Recent data showed that uORFs can encode for biologically active proteins and human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-presented peptides and suggest their potential role in cancer cell development and survival. However, it is so far unclear if uORF-encoded peptides could serve as tumor-associated antigen targets and thus also play a role in cancer immune surveillance. Combining mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidome analysis in primary tumor and healthy tissues and evaluation of proto-oncogene-associated uORF-mediated translational control we here identified a panel of HLA-presented tumor-associated uORF-derived antigens. These uORF-derived tumor antigens were further shown to induce multifunctional antigen-specific T cells, validating their suitability as antigen targets for T cell-based cancer immunotherapy. Our data further unravel the role of uORF-encoded peptides in malignant disease, suggesting uORF-derived tumor-associated antigens as targets for anti-cancer immune surveillance and immunotherapy development.

Boric acid intercepts 80S ribosome migration from AUG-stop by stabilizing eRF1 at the A site

Project description:In response to environmental changes, cells flexibly and rapidly alter gene expression, through translational controls. In plants, the translation of NIP5;1, a boric acid diffusion facilitator, is upregulated through upstream open reading frames (uORFs) that comprise only AUG and stop codons, in response to a shortage of boric acid in the environment. However, the molecular details of how the minimum uORF controls the translation of the downstream main ORF, in a boric acid concentration-dependent manner, have remained unclear. Here, combining ribosome profiling, TCP-Seq, structural analysis with cryo-electron microscopy, and biochemical assays, we showed that the 80S ribosome (80S) assembled at AUG-stop migrates into the subsequent RNA segment, followed by downstream translation initiation, and that boric acid impedes this process by the stable confinement of eukaryotic release factor 1 (eRF1) on the 80S on AUG-stop. Our results provide molecular insight into translation regulation by a minimum and environment-responsive uORF.

Circadian ribosome profiling reveals a role for the Period2 upstream opening reading frame in sleep

Project description:Many mammalian proteins have circadian cycles of production and degradation, but de novo transcription is only responsible for a small fraction of this rhythmicity. We used ribosome profiling to quantify RNA translation in liver from circadian-entrained mice transferred to constant darkness conditions over a 24-h period and compared translation levels to absolute protein production for 16 circadian proteins. We observed a delay between translation and peak protein levels for several circadian genes covering a wide range of translation efficiencies. We found extensive binding of ribosomes to upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in circadian mRNAs, including the core clock gene Period2 (Per2). Increased uORFs in 5' UTRs was associated with decreased ribosome binding in downstream ORFs and reduced expression of synthetic reporter constructs in vitro and in single cells. Mutation of the Per2 uORF increased luciferase and fluorescence reporter expression in 3T3 cells without altering phase or period. Genomic Per2 uORF mutation using CRISPR/Cas9 increased PER2 expression in PER2:Luc MEFs and reduced sleep in Per2 uORF mutant mice. These results suggest that post-transcriptional processes shape translation of mRNA transcripts, which can impact physiological rhythms and sleep.
