Project description:Eukaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF1A) delivers aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome and thereby plays a key role in protein synthesis. Human eEF1A is post-translationally methylated on several lysine residues as well as on the N-terminus and until recently the responsible methyltransferases were largely elusive. Using mass spectrometry based screens, gene targeted cells and in vitro enzymology we identify the human methyltransferase like proteins 13 (METTL13), which contains two distinct methyltransferase domains, as an enzyme catalyzing both dimethylation of Lys55 and trimethylation of the N-terminus of eEF1A. Moreover, through ribosome profiling we demonstrate that loss of METTL13 function alters translation dynamics and results in changed translation rate of specific codons. In line with the established descriptive nomenclature for this type of enzymes we suggest that METTL13 is redubbed eEF1A dual methyltransferase (eEF1A-DMT / EEF1ADMT).

Project description:Lysine methylation is abundant on histone proteins, representing a dynamic regulator of chromatin state and gene activity, but is also frequent on many nonhistone proteins, including eukaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF1A). However, the functional significance of eEF1Amethylation remains obscure and it has remained unclear whether eEF1A methylation is dynamic and subject to active regulation. We here demonstrate, using a wide range of in vitro and in vivo approaches, that the previously uncharacterized human methyltransferase METTL21B specifically targets Lys-165 in eEF1A in an aminoacyl-tRNA- and GTP-dependent manner. Interestingly, METTL21B mediated eEF1A methylation showed strong variation across different tissues and cell lines, and was induced by altering growth conditions or by treatment with certain ER-stress-inducing drugs, concomitant with an increase in METTL21B gene expression. Moreover, genetic ablation of METTL21B function in mammalian cells caused substantial alterations in mRNA translation, as measured by ribosome profiling. A non-canonical function for eEF1A in organization of the cellular cytoskeleton has been reported, and interestingly, METTL21B accumulated in centrosomes, in addition to the expected cytosolic localization. In summary, the present study identifies METTL21B as the enzyme responsible for methylation of eEF1A on Lys-165 and shows that this modification is dynamic, inducible and likely of regulatory importance.

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.

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.

Project description:Cotranslational protein folding depends on general chaperones that engage highly diverse nascent chains at the ribosomes. Here we find that the universal cotranslational machinery adapts to accommodate the challenging biogenesis of abundantly expressed eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A (eEF1A). During eEF1A synthesis, chaperone Chp1 is recruited to the ribosome with the help of the nascent polypeptide-associated complex (NAC), where it safeguards eEF1A biogenesis. Aberrant eEF1A production triggers instant proteolysis, widespread protein aggregation, activation of Hsf1 stress transcription and compromises cellular fitness. The expression of pathogenic eEF1A2 variants linked to epileptic-dyskinetic encephalopathy is protected by Chp1. Thus, eEF1A is a difficult to fold protein that necessitates dedicated folding factor Chp1 at the ribosomal tunnel exit to protect the eukaryotic cell from proteostasis collapse.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most well-studied model organisms used in the scientific community. Its ease of manipulation, accessible growth conditions, short life cycle, and conserved eukaryotic metabolic pathways make it a useful model organism. Consequently, yeast has been used to investigate a myriad of phenomena, from microbial to human studies. Most of the research performed using this model organism utilizes yeast cell populations when they are growing exponentially, a growth phase aptly termed exponential or log phase. However, log phase encompasses several yeast generations and ranges several hours of yeast growth, meaning that there is a potential for variability during this “homogenous” growth phase. Cells in log phase require robust ribosome biogenesis to support their rapid growth and cell division. Interestingly, during log phase, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis (which is the first and rate limiting step in ribosome biosynthesis) has been shown to decrease prior to growth rate decline in stationary phase. In this study, we utilized several genomic and biochemical methods to elucidate the relationship between subphases of log phase and rRNA synthesis. Our results indicate that as yeast cells progress through subphases of log growth both of Pol I transcription and rRNA processing are repressed. Overall, this study establishes a growth phase dependent control of rRNA synthesis that unexpectedly begins prior to the switch to stationary phase (i.e. pre-diauxic shift) as a putative mechanism of anticipating nutrient starvation.

Project description:The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae causes root rot of soybean. During infection, the pathogen is thought to deliver dozens, if not hundreds, of effector proteins into the host to manipulate intracellular systems. Although these pathogen proteins often exhibit similar N-terminal delivery domains, the remaining effector region is rarely homologous to known protein domains, making it difficult to predict its biochemical function during infection. As a complement to studies in the natural host, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been successfully used as a model system to explore the biochemical function of individual pathogen effectors. The presumption is that many effectors target conserved eukaryotic pathways in the host and consequently the expression of effectors in yeast will confer corresponding phenotypes. Indeed, putative effector functions identified using yeast functional genomic approaches have subsequently been validated in the natural host. Over-expression of the Phytophthora sojae effector Avh172 (PsAvh172) inhibits the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, suggesting that the effector targets a biological pathway conserved with plants. In this study, the transcriptomes of yeast expressing PsAvh172 or an empty vector were compared to examine the global transcriptional response, in hopes of discerning the effectors biochemical target.
