Serine mistranslation induces the integrated stress response through the P1 stalk

ABSTRACT: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are essential enzymes that support robust and accurate protein synthesis. A rapidly expanding number of studies show that mutations in aaRSs lead to multiple human diseases, including neurological disorders and cancer. Much remains unknown about how aaRS mutations impact human health. In particular, how aminoacylation errors affect stress responses and fitness in eukaryotic cells remains poorly understood. The integrated stress response (ISR) is an adaptive mechanism in response to multiple stresses. However, chronic activation of the ISR contributes to the development of multiple diseases (e.g., neuropathies). Here we show that Ser misincorporation into Ala and Thr codons, resulting from aaRS editing defects or mutations in tRNAs, constitutively active the ISR. Such activation does not appear to depend on the accumulation of uncharged tRNAs, implicating that Ser mistranslation may lead to ribosome stalling and collision.

Growth Optimized Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase Levels Prevent Maximal tRNA Charging

Project description:Summary Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) serve a dual role in charging tRNAs. Their enzymatic activities both provide protein synthesis flux and reduce uncharged tRNA levels. Although uncharged tRNAs can negatively impact bacterial growth, substantial concentrations of tRNAs remain deacylated even under nutrient-rich conditions. Here we show that tRNA charging in Bacillus subtilis is not maximized due to optimization of aaRS production during rapid growth, which prioritizes demands in protein synthesis over charging levels. The presence of uncharged tRNAs is alleviated by precisely tuned translation kinetics and the stringent response, both insensitive to aaRS overproduction but sharply responsive to underproduction, allowing for just-enough aaRS production atop a “fitness cliff”. Notably, we find that the stringent response mitigates fitness defects at all aaRS underproduction levels even without external starvation. Thus, adherence to minimal, flux-satisfying protein production drives limited tRNA charging and provides a basis for the sensitivity and setpoints of an integrated growth-control network.

Evolution of robustness to protein mistranslation by accelerated protein turnover

Project description:To investigate how organisms mitigate the deleterious effects of mistranslation during evolution, a mutant tRNA was expressed in S. cerevisiae. The expression of Candida Ser-tRNACAG from a low copy plasmid in S. cerevisiae promoted mistranslation events by random incorporation of both serine and leucine at CUG codons. As mistranslation causes an overload of the protein quality pathways, it disrupts cellular protein homeostasis leading to a major fall in fitness. Laboratory evolutionary experiments were performed to study whether the fitness cost of mistranslation can be lowered. We also wanted to identify the cost-reduction strategy: reducing the frequencies of errors (mitigation), or increasing tolerance to errors (robustness), either by global or local activities. Gene expression was measured in the ancestor (non-evolved) lineage in two different situations: 1) carrying an empty vector and 2) expressing the mutant Ser-tRNACAG. Gene expression was also measured in three ambiguously evolved lineages (B3, D11, H9) in both situations (carrying an empty vector and expressing the mutant tRNA). Three independent experiments were performed for each lineage. Non-evolved strain with empty vector was used as control sample.

Selective control of metabolism by the GCN2 eIF2 kinase pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:When eukaryotic cells are deprived of amino acids, uncharged tRNAs accumulate and activate the conserved GCN2 protein kinase. We examine how yeast growth and tRNA charging or aminoacylation is affected during amino acid depletion in the presence and absence of GCN2. tRNA charging is measured using a microarray technique which allows for simultaneous measurement of all cytosolic tRNAs. A fully prototrophic and its isogenic GCN2 deletion strain were used. We measured relative tRNA charging levels in yeast strains with an intact and deleted GCN2.

Multiple mechanisms activate GCN2 eIF2 kinase in response to diverse stress conditions

Project description:Diverse environmental insults induce the integrated stress response (ISR), which features eIF2 phosphorylation and translational control that serves to restore protein homeostasis. The eIF2 kinase GCN2 is a first responder in the ISR that is activated by amino acid depletion and other unrelated stresses. Two processes are suggested to trigger an ordered process of GCN2 activation during stress: GCN2 monitoring stress via accumulating uncharged tRNAs or by stalled and colliding ribosomes. Our results suggest that while ribosomal collisions are indeed essential for GCN2 activation in response to translational elongation inhibitors, conditions that trigger deacylation of tRNAs activate GCN2 via its direct association with affected tRNAs. Both process require the GCN2 regulatory domain related to histidyl tRNA synthetases. GCN2 activation by UV irradiation features lowered amino acids and increased uncharged tRNAs and ribosome collisions are dispensable. We conclude that there are multiple mechanisms that activate GCN2 during diverse stresses.

Detecting mistranslation in yeast expressing tRNA variants

Project description:Mistranslation, the mis-incorporation of an amino acid not specified by the “standard” genetic code, occurs in all cells. tRNA variants that increase mistranslation arise spontaneously and engineered tRNAs can achieve mistranslation frequencies approaching 10% in yeast and bacteria. The goal of this study was to detect mistranslation from two different tRNA variants. The first variant, tRNA-Pro-G3:U70, has a mutation in its acceptor stem creating a G3:U70 base pair which is the key identity element for the alanine tRNA synthetase. This tRNA should be charged with alanine and mis-incorporate alanine at proline codons. The second variant, tRNA-Ser-UCU,G26A, is a serine tRNA with an arginine anticodon and a G26A secondary mutation to dampen function and prevent lethal levels of mistranslation. This tRNA should mis-incorporate serine at arginine codons.

Identification of proline to serine mistranslation in Drosophila melanogaster pupae

Project description:Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are the adaptor molecules required for reading of the genetic code and the accurate production of proteins. tRNA variants can lead to genome-wide mistranslation, the misincorporation of amino acids not specified by the standard genetic code, into nascent proteins. While genome sequencing has identified putative mistranslating tRNA variants in human populations, little is known regarding how mistranslation affects multicellular organisms. Here, we create a Drosophila melanogaster model for mistranslation by integrating a serine tRNA variant that mistranslates serine for proline (tRNA(Ser)[UGG, G26A]) into the fly genome. Using mass spectrometry, we find that tRNA(Ser)[UGG, G26A] misincorporates serine for proline at a frequency of ~ 0.6% per codon. This model will enable studies into the synergistic effects of mistranslating tRNA variants and disease-causing alleles.

Mistranslation of the genetic code by a new family of bacterial transfer RNAs

Project description:The correct coupling of amino acids with transfer RNAs (tRNAs) is vital for translating genetic information into functional proteins. Errors during this process lead to mistranslation, where a codon is translated using the wrong amino acid. While unregulated and prolonged mistranslation is often toxic, growing evidence suggests that organisms, from bacteria to humans, can induce and use mistranslation as a mechanism to overcome unfavorable environmental conditions. Most known cases of mistranslation are caused by translation factors with poor substrate specificity or when substrate discrimination is sensitive to molecular changes such as mutations or post-translational modifications. Here we report two novel families of tRNAs, encoded by bacteria from the Streptomyces and Kitasatospora genera, that adopted dual identities by integrating the anticodons AUU (for Asn) or AGU (for Thr) into the structure of a distinct proline tRNA. These tRNAs are typically encoded next to a full-length or truncated version of a distinct isoform of bacterial-type prolyl-tRNA synthetase. Using two protein reporters, we showed that these tRNAs translate asparagine and threonine codons with proline. Moreover, when expressed in Escherichia coli, the tRNAs cause varying growth defects due to global Asn-to-Pro and Thr-to-Pro mutations. Yet, proteome-wide substitutions of Asn with Pro induced by tRNA expression increased cell tolerance to the antibiotic carbenicillin, indicating that Pro mistranslation can be beneficial under certain conditions. Collectively, our results significantly expand the catalog of organisms known to possess dedicated mistranslation machinery and provide support for the concept that mistranslation is a mechanism for cellular resiliency against environmental stress.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae translational fidelity

Project description:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are essential enzymes that ligate amino acids to tRNAs, and often require editing to ensure accurate protein synthesis. Recessive mutations in aaRSs cause various neurological disorders in humans, yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Pathogenic aaRS mutations frequently cause protein destabilization and aminoacylation deficiency. In this study, we report that combined aminoacylation and editing defects cause severe proteotoxicity. We show that a C268A mutation in yeast threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) abolishes editing and causes heat sensitivity. Surprisingly, directed-evolution of the C268A mutant result in intragenic mutations that restore heat resistance but not editing. C268A destabilizes ThrRS and decreases overall Thr-tRNAThr synthesis, and the suppressor mutations in the evolved strains improve aminoacylation. We further show that deficiency in ThrRS aminoacylation or editing alone is not sufficient to cause heat sensitivity, and that C268A impairs ribosome-associated quality control. Our results suggest that aminoacylation deficiency predisposes cells to proteotoxic stress.
