The universally conserved ATPase YchF regulates translation of leaderless mRNA in response to stress conditions

ABSTRACT: The universally conserved P-loop GTPases control diverse cellular processes, like signal transduction, ribosome assembly, cell motility, intracellular transport and translation. YchF belongs to the Obg-family of P-loop GTPases and is one of the least characterized member of this family. It is unique because it preferentially hydrolyses ATP rather than GTP, but its physiological role is largely unknown. Studies in different organisms including humans suggest a possible role of YchF in regulating the cellular adaptation to stress conditions. In the current study, we explored the role of YchF in the model organism Escherichia coli. By western blot and promotor fusion experiments, we demonstrate that the YchF levels decrease during stress conditions or when cells enter stationary phase. The decline in YchF levels trigger increased stress resistance and cells lacking YchF are resistant to multiple stress conditions, like oxidative stress, replication stress or translational stress. By in vivo site directed cross-linking we demonstrate that YchF interacts with the translation initiation factor IF3 and with multiple ribosomal proteins at the surface of the small ribosomal subunit. The absence of YchF enhances the anti-association activity of IF3, stimulates the translation of leaderless mRNAs and increases the resistance against the endoribonuclease MazF, which generates leaderless mRNAs during stress conditions. In summary, our data identify YchF as a stress-responsive regulator of leaderless mRNA translation

Project description:Prochlorococcus is a genus of abundant and ecologically important marine cyanobacteria. Here, we present the comprehensive comparison of the structure and composition of the transcriptomes of two closely related Prochlorococcus strains, which, despite their similarities, have adapted their gene pool to specific environmental constraints. We used large-scale strand-specific cDNA sequencing, microarray RNA profiling and computational analyses to characterize the transcriptomes of Prochlorococcus sp. MED4 and Prochlorococcus sp. MIT9313, representatives of the two major ecotypes adapted to high and low light conditions, respectively. We present genome-wide maps of transcriptional start sites (TSS) for both organisms. Our data suggest antisense transcription for three quarters of all genes. A direct comparison revealed very little conservation in the use of TSS and the nature of non-coding transcripts between both strains. We conclude that the major transcriptional output from these highly streamlined genomes consists of antisense RNA and that a hitherto unrecognized high degree of variability exists in the transcriptional architecture of these rapidly evolving prokaryotes. Furthermore, we detected extremely short 5M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated regions with a median length of only 27 nt and 29 nt for MED4 and MIT9313, respectively, and noticed the absence of the Shine-Dalgarno motif, which is suggestive of alternative mechanisms for the initiation of translation. For 8 % of all protein-coding genes, the median length to the initiator codon is 10 nt or shorter, suggesting that leaderless translation and ribosomal protein S1-dependent translation constitute the primary avenues for protein synthesis in Prochlorococcus. Prochlorococcus cells were either grown under standard growth conditions or various stress conditions (darkness, high light, iron or nitrogen depletion, cold or heat stress). Stress conditions were subsequently pooled and hybridized on one microarray.

Project description:In eukaryotes, regulation of mRNA translation enables a fast, localized and finely tuned expression of gene products. Within the translation process, the first stage of translation initiation is most rigorously modulated by the actions of eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) and their associated proteins. These 11 eIFs catalyze the joining of the tRNA, mRNA and rRNA into a functional translation complex. Their activity is influenced by a wide variety of extra- and intracellular signals, ranging from global, such as hormone signaling and unfolded proteins, to specific, such as single amino acid imbalance and iron deficiency. Their action is correspondingly comprehensive, in increasing or decreasing recruitment and translation of most cellular mRNAs, and specialized, in targeting translation of mRNAs with regulatory features such as a 5’ terminal oligopyrimidine tract (TOP), upstream open reading frames (uORFs), or an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES). In mammals, two major pathways are linked to targeted mRNA translation. The target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase induces translation of TOP and perhaps other subsets of mRNAs, whereas a family of eIF2 kinases does so with mRNAs containing uORFs or an IRES. TOR targets translation of mRNAs that code for proteins involved in translation, an action compatible with its widely accepted role in regulating cellular growth. The four members of the eIF2 kinase family increase translation of mRNAs coding for stress response proteins such as transcription factors and chaperones. Though all four kinases act on one main substrate, eIF2, published literature demonstrates both common and unique effects by each kinase in response to its specific activating stress. This suggests that the activated eIF2 kinases regulate the translation of both a global and a specific set of mRNAs. Up to now, few studies have attempted to test such a hypothesis; none has been done in mammals. We use array analysis to determine the global mRNA shift into polysomes following a stress response, and to compare the translational response following activation of GCN2 versus PERK, two of the four eIF2alpha kinases.
