Project description:Purpose: Pre-ribosomal RNA is cleaved at defined sites, but many endonucleases involved in 18S rRNA release are not known. We apply an in vivo cross-linking technique coupled with deep sequencing (CRAC) that captures transcriptome-wide interactions between a yeast candidate pre-rRNA endonuclease (Utp24) and its targets in a living cell. Methods: We apply CRAC to an HTP-tagged Utp24 protein (HTP: His6 - TEV cleavage site - two copies of the z-domain of Protein A). At least two independent experiments were performed and analyzed separately. Results: We found that yeast Utp24 UV-crosslinked in vivo to the U3 snoRNA and all (pre-)rRNA elements that form the central pseudoknot in the 18S rRNA. The pseudoknot is an evolutionarily highly conserved structure that is required to ensure pre-rRNA processing at three cleavage sites (A0, A1 and A2) and still present in the mature rRNA. According to our crosslinking data, the endonuclease Utp24 is placed in close proximity to site A1 at the 5'-end of the 18S rRNA. Conclusion: Our study strongly supports the hypothesis that Utp24 cleaves pre-rRNA at sites A1 and A2. Examination of targets for pre-rRNA endonucleases in yeast cells.

Project description:Purpose: Pre-ribosomal RNA is cleaved at defined sites to release the mature ribosomal RNAs, but the functions of many ribosome biogenesis factors involved in 18S rRNA release are not known. We apply an in vivo cross-linking technique coupled with deep sequencing (CRAC) that captures transcriptome-wide interactions between the yeast PIN domain protein Utp23 and its targets in a living cell. Methods: We apply CRAC to an HTP-tagged Utp23 protein (HTP: His6 - TEV cleavage site - two copies of the z-domain of Protein A) in budding yeast. At least two independent experiments were performed and analysed separately. A non-tagged yeast strain was also used as a negative control. Results: We found that yeast Utp23 UV-crosslinked in vivo to the snR30 snoRNA and to the eukaryotic-specific expansion segment 6 (ES6) in the 18S rRNA. Conclusion: According to our crosslinking data, Utp23 is perfectly positioned to coordinate release of the snR30 snoRNA from the 18S ES6 region.

Project description:The CRAC UV crosslinking technique identified numerous pre-rRNA binding sites for the large, highly conserved ribosome synthesis factor Rrp5. Intramolecular complementation has shown that the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Rrp5 is required for pre-rRNA cleavage at sites A0-A2 on the pathway of 18S rRNA synthesis, whereas the N-terminal domain (NTD) is required for A3 cleavage on the pathway of 5.8S/25S rRNA synthesis. The CTD was crosslinked to sequences flanking A2 and to the snoRNAs U3, U14, snR30 and snR10, which are required for cleavage at A0-A2. The NTD was crosslinked to the sequence flanking A3 and to the RNA component of RNase MRP, which cleaves site A3. Rrp5 could also be directly crosslinked to several large structural protein factors and NTPases. A key role in coordinating pre-ribosomal assembly and processing was confirmed by "Miller" chromatin spreads. Following depletion of Rrp5, cotranscriptional cleavage was lost and pre-ribosome compaction greatly reduced.

Project description:Purpose: The exosome plays major roles in RNA processing and surveillance but the in vivo target range and substrate acquisition mechanisms remain unclear. We applied an in vivo cross-linking technique coupled with deep sequencing (CRAC) that captures transcriptome-wide interactions between individual yeast exosome subunits and their targets in a living cell. Methods: We apply CRAC to HTP-tagged proteins (HTP: His6 - TEV cleavage site - two copies of the z-domain of Protein A): Two nucleases (Rrp44, Rrp6) and two structural subunits (Rrp41, Csl4) of the yeast exosome. At least two independent experiments were performed in each case and analyzed separately. We performed CRAC on wild-type (WT) Rrp44 and two catalytic mutants, rrp44-endo (D91N, E120Q, D171N, D198N) and rrp44-exo (D551N). We further developed CRAC using cleavable proteins (split-CRAC) to compare endonuclease and exonuclease targets of Rrp44. Plasmids designed for split-CRAC contain a PreScission protease cleavage site (PP) inserted between aa 241 and 242 in the RRP44 ORF to allow in vitro cleavage of purified protein, and a His6 tag to select the respective cleaved fragment. Results: Analysis of wild-type Rrp44 and catalytic mutants showed that both the CUT and SUT classes of noncoding RNA, snoRNAs and, most prominently, pre-tRNAs and other Pol III transcripts are targeted for oligoadenylation and exosome degradation. Unspliced pre-mRNAs were also identified as targets for Rrp44 and Rrp6. CRAC performed using cleavable proteins (split-CRAC) revealed that Rrp44 endonuclease and exonuclease activities cooperate on most substrates. Mapping oligoadenylated reads suggests that the endonuclease activity may release stalled exosome substrates. Rrp6 was preferentially associated with structured targets, which frequently did not associate with the core exosome. This indicates that substrates can follow multiple pathways to the nucleases. Conclusion: Our study represents the first transcriptome-wide map of substrates for the yeast exosome nuclease complex. Identification of targets for individual exosome subunits in wild-type and mutant yeast cells.

Project description:More than 200 assembly factors (AFs) are required for the production of ribosomes in yeast. The stepwise association and dissociation of these AFs with the pre-ribosomal subunits occurs in a strictly hierarchical manner to ensure correct maturation of the pre-rRNAs and assembly of the ribosomal proteins. Although decades of research have provided a wealth of insights into the functions of many AFs, others remain poorly characterized. Pol5 was initially classified with B-type DNA polymerases, however, several lines of evidence indicate the involvement of this protein in ribosome assembly. Here, we show that depletion of Pol5 affects the processing of pre-rRNAs destined for the both the large and small subunits. Furthermore, we identify binding sites for Pol5 in the 5’ external transcribed spacer and within domain III of the 25S rRNA sequence. Consistent with this, we reveal that Pol5 is required for recruitment of ribosomal proteins that form the polypeptide exit tunnel in the LSU and that depletion of Pol5 impairs the release of 5’ ETS fragments from early pre-40S particles. The dual functions of Pol5 in 60S assembly and recycling of pre-40S AFs suggest that this factor could contribute to ensuring the stoichiometric production of ribosomal subunits.

Project description:Early pre-60S ribosomal particles are poorly characterized, highly dynamic complexes that undergo extensive rRNA folding and compaction concomitant with assembly of ribosomal proteins and exchange of assembly factors. Pre-60S particles contain numerous RNA helicases, which are likely regulators of accurate and efficient formation of appropriate rRNA structures. Here we reveal binding of the RNA helicase Dbp7 to domain V/VI of early pre-60S particles in yeast and show that in the absence of this protein, dissociation of the Npa1 scaffolding complex, release of the snR190 folding chaperone, recruitment of the A3 cluster factors and binding of the ribosomal protein uL3 are impaired. uL3 is critical for formation of the peptidyltransferase center and is responsible for stabilizing interactions between the 5’ and 3’ ends of the 25S, an essential pre-requisite for subsequent pre-60S maturation events. Highlighting the importance of pre-ribosome remodeling by Dbp7, our data suggest that in the absence of Dbp7 or its catalytic activity, early pre-ribosomal particles are targeted for degradation.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are closely tethered to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) at sites called mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs). Ca2+ ion and phospholipid transfer occurs at MAMs to support diverse cellular functions. Unlike those in yeast, the protein complexes involved in phospholipid transfer at MAMs in humans have not been identified. Here, we determined the crystal structure of the tetratricopeptide repeat domain of PTPIP51 (PTPIP51_TPR), a mitochondrial protein that interacts with the ER-anchored VAPB protein at MAMs. The structure of PTPIP51_TPR showed an archetypal TPR fold, and an electron density corresponding to an unidentified lipid-like molecule probably derived from the protein expression host was found in the structure. We revealed functions of PTPIP51 in phospholipid binding/transfer, particularly of phosphatidic acid, in vitro. Depletion of PTPIP51 in cells reduced the mitochondrial cardiolipin level. Additionally, we confirmed that the PTPIP51–VAPB interaction is mediated by the FFAT-like motif of PTPIP51 and the MSP domain of VAPB. Our findings suggest that PTPIP51 is a phospholipid transfer protein with a MAM-tethering function similar to the ERMES complex in yeast.
