Assembly and function of the amyloid-like translational repressor Rim4 is coupled with nutrient conditions

ABSTRACT: Amyloid-like protein assemblies have been associated with toxic phenotypes because of their repetitive and stable structure. However, evidence that cells exploit these structures to control function and activity of some proteins in response to stimuli has questioned this paradigm. How amyloid-like assembly can confer emergent functions and how cells couple assembly with environmental conditions remains unclear. Here, we study Rim4, an RNA-binding protein that forms translation-repressing assemblies during yeast meiosis. We demonstrate that in its assembled and repressive state, Rim4 binds RNA more efficiently than in its monomeric and idle state, revealing a causal connection between assembly and function. The Rim4-binding site location within the transcript dictates whether the assemblies can repress translation, underscoring the importance of the architecture of this RNA-protein structure for function. Rim4 assembly depends exclusively on its intrinsically disordered region and is prevented by the Ras/protein kinase A signaling pathway, which promotes growth and suppresses meiotic entry in yeast. Our results suggest a mechanism whereby cells couple a functional protein assembly with a stimulus to enforce a cell fate decision.

HeberleRazquinNavas2019 - The PI3K and MAPK/p38 pathways control stress granuleassembly in a hierarchical manner model 3

Project description:All cells and organisms exhibit stress-coping mechanisms toensure survival. Cytoplasmic protein-RNA assemblies termedstress granules are increasingly recognized to promote cellularsurvival under stress. Thus, they might represent tumor vul-nerabilities that are currently poorly explored. The translation-inhibitory eIF2αkinases are established as main drivers ofstress granule assembly. Using a systems approach, we identifythe translation enhancers PI3K and MAPK/p38 as pro-stress-granule-kinases. They act through the metabolic master regu-lator mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) topromote stress granule assembly. When highly active, PI3K is themain driver of stress granules; however, the impact of p38becomes apparent as PI3K activity declines. PI3K and p38 thusact in a hierarchical manner to drive mTORC1 activity and stressgranule assembly. Of note, this signaling hierarchy is also presentin human breast cancer tissue. Importantly, only the recognition ofthe PI3K-p38 hierarchy under stress enabled the discovery of p38’srole in stress granule formation. In summary, we assign a new pro-survival function to the key oncogenic kinases PI3K and p38, as theyhierarchically promote stress granule formation

RNA self-assembly contributes to stress granule formation and defining the stress granule transcriptome

Project description:Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules are non-membrane bound organelles thought to assemble by protein-protein interactions of RNA-binding proteins. We present evidence that a wide variety of RNAs self-assemble in vitro into either liquid-liquid phase separations or more stable assembles, referred to as RNA tangles. Self-assembly in vitro is affected by RNA length, ionic conditions, and sequence. Remarkably, self-assembly of yeast RNA in vitro under physiological salt mimics the composition of mRNAs within yeast stress granules. This suggests that the biophysical principles that drive RNA self-assembly in vitro contribute to determining the stress granule transcriptome. Consistent with RNA self-assembly contributing to RNP granule formation, an excess of purified RNA injected into C. elegans syncytium coalesces into droplet-like assemblies. We suggest that diverse RNA-RNA interactions in trans contribute to RNP granule formation and may explain the prevalence of large RNA-protein assemblies in eukaryotic cells.

Clearance of an amyloid-like translational repressor is governed by 14-3-3 proteins

Project description:Amyloids are fibrous protein aggregates associated with age-related diseases. While these aggregates are typically described as irreversible and pathogenic, some cells utilize reversible amyloid-like structures that serve important functions. The RNA-binding protein Rim4 forms amyloid-like assemblies that are essential for translational control during S. cerevisiae meiosis. Rim4 amyloid-like assemblies are disassembled in a phosphorylation-dependent manner at meiosis II onset. By investigating Rim4 clearance, we elucidate co-factors that mediate clearance of amyloid-like assemblies in a physiological setting. We demonstrate that yeast 14-3-3 proteins bind to Rim4 assemblies and facilitate their subsequent phosphorylation and timely clearance. Furthermore, distinct 14-3-3 proteins play non-redundant roles in facilitating phosphorylation and clearance of amyloid-like Rim4. Additionally, we find that 14-3-3 proteins contribute to global protein aggregate homeostasis. Based on the role of 14-3-3 proteins in aggregate homeostasis and their interactions with disease-associated assemblies, we propose that these proteins may protect against pathological protein aggregates.

IGBMC-human-HeLa-TAF10 and TBP-HeLa-polysome RNA Ips

Project description:RNA immunoprecipitation using mouse monoclonal antibody against human TAF10 protein from HeLa polysome extracts Cells dedicate significant energy to building proteins1, which are often organized in multiprotein assemblies with tightly regulated stoichiometries2. Cotranslational assembly, a process of synchronous translation and protein heterodimerization, is a potential mechanism for efficient matching of partner subunits and avoiding the negative effects of protein aggregation3. Recent studies in bacteria demonstrate that cotranslational assembly of the LuxA-LuxB dimer follows the order established by operon structure and is more efficient than post-translational assembly4. As genes encoding protein complex subunits are dispersed among chromosomes in eukaryotes, it is unclear how cotranslational assembly is accomplished mechanistically, but studies in yeast have nevertheless suggested it as a potential assembly pathway5,6,7. Here we show that mammalian transcription complexes, such as the RNA polymerase II general transcription factor TFIID and the TRanscription and EXport complex-2 (TREX-2) assemble co-translationally. Moreover, we show that the position of heterodimerization domains determines the order of cotranslational assembly in mammalian TFIID. In polysomes, the TATA binding protein associated factor 10 (TAF10), which contains a C-terminal histone-fold dimerization domain (HFD) is recruited cotranslationally to its HFD-containing binding partner TAF8. This interaction is established unidirectionally and determined by the position rather than the sequence of the dimerization domain. We further show that similar mechanisms guide the assembly of other TFIID subunits. Our results thus predict that cotranslational assembly of eukaryotic multisubunit complexes is a general principle in building multiprotein machines. We used microarrays to assess globally the mRNAs associated with TAF10 and TBP immunoprecipitations from HeLa polysomes.

Pbp1 associates with Puf3 and promotes translation of its target mRNAs involved in mitochondrial biogenesis

Project description:Pbp1 (polyA-binding protein - binding protein 1) is a stress granule marker and polyglutamine expansions in its mammalian ortholog ataxin-2 have been linked to neurodegenerative conditions. Pbp1 was recently shown to form intracellular assemblies that function in the negative regulation of TORC1 signaling under respiratory conditions. Furthermore, it was observed that loss of Pbp1 leads to mitochondrial dysfunction. Here, we show that loss of Pbp1 leads to a specific decrease in mitochondrial proteins whose encoding mRNAs are targets of the RNA-binding protein Puf3, suggesting a functional relationship between Pbp1 and Puf3. We found that Pbp1 stabilizes and promotes the translation of Puf3-target mRNAs in respiratory conditions, such as those involved in the assembly of cytochrome c oxidase. We further show that Pbp1 and Puf3 associate through their respective low complexity domains, which is required for target mRNA stabilization and translation. Our findings reveal a key role for Pbp1-containing assemblies in enabling the translation of mRNAs critical for mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration under metabolically challenging conditions. They may further explain prior associations of Pbp1/ataxin-2 with stress granule biology and RNA metabolism.

High-throughput RNA structure probing reveals critical folding events during early 60S ribosome assembly in yeast.

Project description:While the protein composition of various yeast 60S ribosomal subunit assembly intermediates has been studied in detail, little is known about ribosomal RNA (rRNA) structural rearrangements that take place during early 60S assembly steps. Using a high-throughput RNA structure probing method, we provide nucleotide resolution insights into rRNA structural rearrangements during nucleolar 60S assembly. Our results suggest that many rRNA-folding steps, such as folding of 5.8S rRNA, occur at a very specific stage of assembly, and propose that downstream nuclear assembly events can only continue once 5.8S folding has been completed. Our maps of nucleotide flexibility enable making predictions about the establishment of protein-rRNA interactions, providing intriguing insights into the temporal order of protein-rRNA as well as long-range inter-domain rRNA interactions. These data argue that many distant domains in the rRNA can assemble simultaneously during early 60S assembly and underscore the enormous complexity of 60S synthesis.Ribosome biogenesis is a dynamic process that involves the ordered assembly of ribosomal proteins and numerous RNA structural rearrangements. Here the authors apply ChemModSeq, a high-throughput RNA structure probing method, to quantitatively measure changes in RNA flexibility during the nucleolar stages of 60S assembly in yeast.

A Quantitative, High-Throughput Reverse Genetic Screen Reveals Novel Connections Between pre-mRNA Splicing and 5’ and 3’ end Transcript Determinants

Project description:The coding portions of most eukaryotic genes are interrupted by non-coding regions termed introns that must be excised prior to their translation. The excision of introns from precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA), is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a large macromolecule composed of both RNA and protein components. Several studies have uncovered connections between pre-mRNA splicing and other RNA processing pathways such as the remodeling of chromatin structure, transcription and processing events which take place at the 3’ end of the transcript. To date, however, the full complement of factors which function to couple splicing to other processes in the cell remains unknown. Here, we have developed a novel screening methodology in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that allowed us to individually examine nearly all of the ~6000 genes to determine which factors functionally impact splicing. We identified mutations in components that function at either the 5' or 3' end of a gene. Most of these components have previously established roles in other aspects of gene expression, including chromatin remodeling and cleavage and polyadenylation processes, and their identification here provides the first evidence for their roles in coupling these pathways. Included here are both the QPCR data generated from this high-throughput reverse genetic screen, as well as the microarray analyses of several of the candidate factors identified by the screen.

Transcriptomic analysis of ATP6V1A knock-down and amyloid beta-treated neurons

Project description:ATP6V1A plays a unique role in synapse function in neurons and we found decreased neuronal activity in ATP6V1A-deficient neurons. To characterize the molecular pathways regulated by ATP6V1A under both normal and stressed conditions, we generated hiPSC-derived NGN2-neurons with reduced ATP6V1A expression by CRISPRi knock-down (KD) and performed RNA-seq analysis on the wild-type and KD neurons which were subject to amyloid-beta or vehicle treatment. A number of gene ontology (GO)/pathways were identified in KD neurons without amyloid-beta treatment (proton transporting V-ATPase complex, phagosome acidification and trivalent inorganic cation transport were down-regulated, and mitochondrial protein complex up-regulated), while KD in amyloid-beta treated cells specifically resulted in down-regulation of cell adhesion, synapse assembly and structure/activity and up-regulation of UPR and ER stress response.
