Impact of Alanyl-tRNA Synthetase Editing Deficiency in Yeast

ABSTRACT: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are essential enzymes that provide the ribosome with aminoacyl-tRNA substrates for protein synthesis. Mutations in aaRSs lead to various neurological disorders in humans. Many aaRSs utilize editing to prevent error propagation during translation. Editing defects in alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AlaRS) cause neurodegeneration and cardioproteinopathy in mice and is associated with microcephaly in human patients. The cellular impact of AlaRS editing deficiency in eukaryotes remains unclear. Here we use yeast as a model organism to systematically investigate the physiological role of AlaRS editing. Our RNA sequencing and quantitative proteomics analyses reveal that AlaRS editing defects surprisingly activate the general amino acid control pathway and attenuate the heatshock response. We have confirmed these results with reporter and growth assays. In addition, AlaRS editing defects downregulate carbon metabolism and attenuate protein synthesis. Supplying yeast cells with extra carbon source partially rescues the heat sensitivity caused by AlaRS editing deficiency. These findings are in stark contrast with the cellular effects caused by editing deficiency in other aaRSs. Our study therefore highlights the idiosyncratic role of AlaRS editing compared with other aaRSs and provides a model for the physiological impact caused by the lack of AlaRS editing.

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.

Mammalian mitochondrial translation infidelity leads to oxidative stress-induced cell cycle arrest and cardiomyopathy

Project description:Editing of mischarged tRNAs by cytoplasmic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) is of high significance for protein homeostasis, whose impairment causes neurodegeneration. However, whether mitochondrial translation needs fidelity and the significance of proofreading (editing) by mitochondrial aaRSs are long-term mysteries. Here, we showed that NIH-3T3 cell line critically depend on the editing of mitochondrial threonyl-tRNA synthetase (Tars2) editing, the disruption of which accumulated Ser-tRNAThr and generated a large abundance of Thr-to-Ser misincorporated peptides. Such infidelity impaired mitochondrial translation and oxidative phosphorylation, causing oxidative stress and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. ROS removal by N-acetylcysteine relieved abnormal cell proliferation.

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.

On the mechanism and origin of isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase editing against norvaline

Project description:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), the enzymes responsible for coupling tRNAs to their cognate amino acids, minimize translational errors by intrinsic hydrolytic editing. Here, we compared the propensity of norvaline (Nva), a linear amino acid not coded for protein synthesis, to the proteinogenic, branched valine (Val) to mistranslate isoleucine (Ile) in proteins. We show that in the synthetic site of isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS), aminoacylation and pre-transfer editing with Nva and Val occur at similar rates. Post-transfer editing was, however, more efficient with Nva as IleRS misaminoacylates Nva-tRNAIle at slower rate than Val-tRNAIle. Accordingly, an Escherichia coli strain lacking IleRS post-transfer editing misincorporated Nva and Val in the proteome to a similar extent and at the same Ile positions. However, Nva mistranslation inflicted higher toxicity than Val, in agreement with IleRS post-transfer editing domain being optimized for hydrolysis of Nva-tRNAIle. Furthermore, we found that the evolutionary related IleRS, leucyl- and valyl-tRNA synthetases (I/L/VRSs), all efficiently hydrolyze Nva-tRNAs even when editing of Nva seems redundant. Thus, we hypothesize that editing of Nva-tRNAs had already existed in the last common ancestor of I/L/VRSs, and that the editing domain of I/L/VRSs had primarily evolved to prevent infiltration of Nva into modern proteins.

Two aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complexes anchored to the Plasmodium surface tRNA import protein

Project description:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) attach amino acids to their cognate transfer RNAs. In eukaryotes, a subset of cytosolic aaRSs is organized into a multi-synthetase complex (MSC), along with specialized scaffolding proteins referred to as aaRS-interacting multifunctional proteins (AIMPs). In Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, the tRNA import protein (tRip), is a membrane protein which participates in tRNA trafficking. Here, we show that tRip is also an AIMP. We identified three aaRSs, namely the glutamyl- (ERS), glutaminyl- (QRS), and methionyl- (MRS) tRNA synthetases, which were specifically co-immunoprecipitated with tRip in Plasmodium berghei blood stage parasites. All four proteins contain an N-terminal GST-like domain involved in MSC assembly. Surprisingly, further dissection of GST-like interactions identified two exclusive heterotrimeric complexes: Q-complex (tRip:ERS:QRS) and M-complex (tRip:ERS:MRS). Gel filtration and light scattering suggest a 2:2:2 stoichiometry for both complexes but with distinct biophysical properties and mutational analysis revealed that the GST-like domains of QRS and MRS use different strategies to bind ERS. Furthermore, the modular organization of the assembled aaRSs and the properties of the specific additional modules supported the proposed localization of these complexes at the parasite membrane.

Ribo-seq of HEK293T overexpressing WT and G240R GARS

Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease can be caused by mutations in Aminoacyl-tRNA-Synthetases, including G240R mutation in Glycyl-tRNA-Synthetase (GARS). Ribo-seq generates snapshots of translating ribosomes on mRNA and therefore allows analysis of ribosome pausing mRNA. Here we performed Ribo-seq on lysates of HEK293T cells overexpressing GARS, WT or G240R, to dissect mechanism of CMT linked with translation. We found that GARS G240R causes pausing of ribosomes with glycine codons in A-site. The effect is specific for 21 nt ribosome-protected fragments, produced by ribosomes with empty A-sites, suggestive of the deficit of charged Glycyl-tRNA in GARS G240R-CMT.

McFarland2020 - Synthetase sequestration Model:a combined translation and tRNA charging cycle

Project description:The Synthetase Sequestration Model (SSM) is a simplified translation model that considers explicitly two main steps in the process of tRNA aminoacylation: first, the tRNA is bound by the aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, and in a second step, the amino acid is attached to the tRNA. The tRNA then participates in the translation reaction, becoming deacylated as a result. The tRNA exists in states bound, charged and uncharged. In the bound state, the tRNA is bound to the synthetase but uncharged, i.e., the tRNA is sequestered by the synthetase. The model predicts how the balance between the three different tRNA states (empty, bound and charged) changes depending on aminoacyl tRNA synthetase availability.

Generation and validation of recombinant antibodies to study tRNA synthetases in health and disease

Project description:Aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) have long been viewed as mere housekeeping proteins and have therefore often been overlooked in drug discovery. However, recent findings have revealed that many aaRSs have non-canonical functions and several of them have been linked to autoimmune diseases, cancer and neurological disorders. In order to study these proteins further, recombinant high-affinity antibodies have been generated to a selection of thirteen cytoplasmic and one mitochondrial aaRSs. Selected domains of these proteins were produced recombinantly in Escherichia coli and used as antigens in phage display selections using a synthetic human single-chain fragment variable (scFv) library. All targets yielded large sets of antibody candidates that were validated through a panel of binding assays against the purified antigen. Furthermore, the top performing binders were tested in immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry (IP-MS) for their ability to capture the endogenous protein from mammalian cell lysates. Interestingly, for antibodies targeting individual members of the multi-tRNA synthetase complex (MSC), we were able to detect all members of the complex, co-immunoprecipitating with the target, in several cell types. The functionality of a sub-set of binders for each target was also confirmed in immunofluorescence. To conclude, we have created an open source resource, in the form of high quality recombinant proteins and antibodies to accelerate and empower future research of the role of aaRSs in health and disease.

Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase interactome analysis

Project description:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) catalyze the ligation of each amino acid to the 3’ hydroxyl group of the cognate tRNA and thereby establish the genetic code for protein synthesis. AaRSs form a complicated network through assembly into a multi-synthetase complex (MSC), which is comprised of nine aaRSs (ArgRS, AspRS, GlnRS, GluProRS, IleRS, LeuRS, LysRS, and MetRS) and three auxiliary proteins (aaRS-interacting multifunctional proteins, p43, p38, and p18 or AIMP1, 2, and 3) in vertebrates. IleRS is one of the least characterized aaRSs in the MSC. It is a class 1a aaRS and has an UNE-I domain at its C-terminal end that is formed by tandem ~90 residue repeats. Systematic depletion and yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) analyses suggest that IleRS binds to the WHEP domain of GluProRS through its UNE-I domain. However, crosslinking and mass spectrometry (XL-MS) analyses revealed that IleRS interacts with ArgRS, LeuRS, and MetRS in the MSC. While such difference may be due to the different dynamic states of the MSC under various cellular environments, it remains to be resolved how IleRS associates with other components of the MSC. Therefore, we performed mass spectrometry analysis to study IleRS interactome using cells expressing wild-type IleRS, C-terminal-deleted IleRS, and the IleRS UNE-I domain alone.

Characterizing the interactome of human Arginyl-tRNA Synthethase

Project description:Prior work revealed nuclear-localized aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) that checked newly synthesized tRNAs for charging before export to the cytoplasm. To reveal other functions, we sought to identify nuclear proteins that interact with arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) in the nucleus. Serine/Arginine Repetitive Matrix Protein 2 (SRRM2), which is stored with RNA splicing apparatus components in nuclear speckle condensates, was found as a consistent interaction partner that co localized with SRRM2 ArgRS in nuclear speckles. Dynamic photo-bleaching experiments showed that, consistent with condensate properties, SRRM2 has a fluctuating appearance in speckles. Knock down of ArgRS impeded SRRM2 speckle trafficking and, coincidently, altered splicing processing of pre-mRNA transcripts. Among the altered spliced variants, those of tRNA synthetase family members were prominent. Thus, nuclear ArgRS shapes the dynamics of a protein in class of nuclear condensates. Also, the work expands the repertoire of nuclear tRNA synthetase roles to include regulation of RNA splicing, including of aaRS family member transcripts.
