Adaptation of human cells to protein synthesis errors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Protein synthesis is a highly regulated process and maintenance of its fidelity is essential to life. Alterations in the components of the protein synthesis machinery, namely RNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) or tRNA modifying enzymes, increase the level of protein synthesis errors (PSE), and are associated with several conditions, from cancer to neurodegeneration. Still, the cause-effect mechanisms remain to be elucidated in many conditions. In order to have a global picture of how human cells respond and adapt in culture we created stable HEK293 cell lines that express mutant tRNAs. For this, we modified the anticodon of a human serine transfer RNA (tRNASer), to incorporate the amino acid serine (Ser) at various non-cognate sites and overexpressed the wild type tRNASer to evaluate the effects of tRNA misexpression. DNA microarrays were then performed to identify the transcriptional deregulation induced by PSE of cells in culture at different time points (cells passages).
