Nucleolar maturation of the human small subunit processome.

ABSTRACT: The human small subunit processome mediates early maturation of the small ribosomal subunit by coupling RNA folding to subsequent RNA cleavage and processing steps. We report the high-resolution cryo–electron microscopy structures of maturing human small subunit (SSU) processomes at resolutions of 2.7 to 3.9 angstroms. These structures reveal the molecular mechanisms that enable crucial progressions during SSU processome maturation. RNA folding states within these particles are communicated to and coordinated with key enzymes that drive irreversible steps such as targeted exosome-mediated RNA degradation, protein-guided site-specific endonucleolytic RNA cleavage, and tightly controlled RNA unwinding. These conserved mechanisms highlight the SSU processome’s impressive structural plasticity, which endows this 4.5-megadalton nucleolar assembly with the distinctive ability to mature the small ribosomal subunit from within.

Assembly and structure of the SSU processome-a nucleolar precursor of the small ribosomal subunit.

Project description:The small subunit processome is the first precursor of the small eukaryotic ribosomal subunit. During its assembly in the nucleolus, many ribosome biogenesis factors, an RNA chaperone, and ribosomal proteins associate with the nascent pre-rRNA. Biochemical studies have elucidated the rRNA-subdomain dependent recruitment of these factors during SSU processome assembly and have been complemented by structural studies of the assembled particle. Ribosome biogenesis factors encapsulate and guide subdomains of pre-ribosomal RNA in distinct compartments. This prevents uncoordinated maturation and enables processing of regions not accessible in the mature subunit. By sequentially reducing conformational freedom, flexible proteins facilitate the incorporation of dynamic subcomplexes into a globular particle. Large rearrangements within the SSU processome are required for compaction into the mature small ribosomal subunit.

Utp14 interaction with the small subunit processome.

Project description:The SSU processome (sometimes referred to as 90S) is an early stable intermediate in the small ribosomal subunit biogenesis pathway of eukaryotes. Progression of the SSU processome to a pre-40S particle requires a large-scale compaction of the RNA and release of many biogenesis factors. The U3 snoRNA is a primary component of the SSU processome and hybridizes to the rRNA at multiple locations to organize the structure of the SSU processome. Thus, release of U3 is a prerequisite for the transition to pre-40S. Our laboratory proposed that the RNA helicase Dhr1 plays a crucial role in the transition by unwinding U3 and that this activity is controlled by the SSU processome protein Utp14. How Utp14 times the activation of Dhr1 is an open question. Despite being highly conserved, Utp14 contains no recognizable domains, and how Utp14 interacts with the SSU processome is not well characterized. Here, we used UV crosslinking and analysis of cDNA (CRAC) and yeast two-hybrid interaction to characterize how Utp14 interacts with the preribosome. Moreover, proteomic analysis of SSU particles lacking Utp14 revealed that the presence of Utp14 is needed for efficient recruitment of the RNA exosome. Our analysis positions Utp14 to be uniquely poised to communicate the status of assembly of the SSU processome to Dhr1 and possibly to the exosome as well.

The small subunit processome in ribosome biogenesis—progress and prospects.

Project description:The small subunit (SSU) processome is a 2.2-MDa ribonucleoprotein complex involved in the processing, assembly, and maturation of the SSU of eukaryotic ribosomes. The identities of many of the factors involved in SSU biogenesis have been elucidated over the past 40 years. However, as our understanding increases, so do the number of questions about the nature of this complicated process. Cataloging the components is the first step toward understanding the molecular workings of a system. This review will focus on how identifying components of ribosome biogenesis has led to the knowledge of how these factors, protein and RNA alike, associate with one another into subcomplexes, with a concentration on the small ribosomal subunit. We will also explore how this knowledge of subcomplex assembly has informed our understanding of the workings of the ribosome synthesis system as a whole.

Bud23 promotes the final disassembly of the small subunit Processome in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The first metastable assembly intermediate of the eukaryotic ribosomal small subunit (SSU) is the SSU Processome, a large complex of RNA and protein factors that is thought to represent an early checkpoint in the assembly pathway. Transition of the SSU Processome towards continued maturation requires the removal of the U3 snoRNA and biogenesis factors as well as ribosomal RNA processing. While the factors that drive these events are largely known, how they do so is not. The methyltransferase Bud23 has a role during this transition, but its function, beyond the nonessential methylation of ribosomal RNA, is not characterized. Here, we have carried out a comprehensive genetic screen to understand Bud23 function. We identified 67 unique extragenic bud23Δ-suppressing mutations that mapped to genes encoding the SSU Processome factors DHR1, IMP4, UTP2 (NOP14), BMS1 and the SSU protein RPS28A. These factors form a physical interaction network that links the binding site of Bud23 to the U3 snoRNA and many of the amino acid substitutions weaken protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions. Importantly, this network links Bud23 to the essential GTPase Bms1, which acts late in the disassembly pathway, and the RNA helicase Dhr1, which catalyzes U3 snoRNA removal. Moreover, particles isolated from cells lacking Bud23 accumulated late SSU Processome factors and ribosomal RNA processing defects. We propose a model in which Bud23 dissociates factors surrounding its binding site to promote SSU Processome progression.

Role of the small subunit processome in the maintenance of pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play integral roles in gene regulation, yet only a small fraction of RBPs has been studied in the context of stem cells. Here we applied an RNAi screen for RBPs in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and identified 16 RBPs involved in pluripotency maintenance. Interestingly, six identified RBPs, including Krr1 and Ddx47, are part of a complex called small subunit processome (SSUP) that mediates 18S rRNA biogenesis. The SSUP components are preferentially expressed in stem cells and enhance the global translational rate, which is critical to sustain the protein levels of labile pluripotency factors such as Nanog and Esrrb. Furthermore, the SSUP proteins are required for efficient reprogramming of induced pluripotent stem cells. Our study uncovers the role of the SSUP and the importance of translational control in stem cell fate decision.

Small-subunit rRNA processome proteins are translationally regulated during differentiation of Trypanosoma cruzi.

Project description:We used differential display to select genes differentially expressed during differentiation of epimastigotes into metacyclic trypomastigotes in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. One of the selected clones had a sequence similar to that of the small-subunit (SSU) processome protein Sof1p, which is involved in rRNA processing. The corresponding T. cruzi protein, TcSof1, displayed a nuclear localization and is downregulated during metacyclogenesis. Heterologous RNA interference assays showed that depletion of this protein impaired growth but did not affect progression through the cell cycle, suggesting that ribosome synthesis regulation and the cell cycle are uncoupled in this parasite. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays of several SSU processome-specific genes in T. cruzi also showed that most of them were regulated posttranscriptionally. This process involves the accumulation of mRNA in the polysome fraction of metacyclic trypomastigotes, where TcSof1 cannot be detected. Metacyclic trypomastigote polysomes were purified and separated by sucrose gradient sedimentation. Northern blot analysis of the sucrose gradient fractions showed the association of TcSof1 mRNA with polysomes, confirming the qPCR data. The results suggest that the mechanism of regulation involves the blocking of translation elongation and/or termination.

Artificial intelligence-assisted cryoEM structure of Bfr2-Lcp5 complex observed in the yeast small subunit processome.

Project description:Eukaryotic ribosome is maturated through an elaborate process that includes modification, processing and folding of pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNAs) by a series of ribosome assembly intermediates. More than 70 factors participate in the dynamic assembly and disassembly of the small subunit processome (90S) inside nucleolus, leading to the early maturation of small subunit. The 5' domain of the 18S rRNA is the last to be incorporated into the stable 90S prior to the cleavage of pre-rRNA at the A1 site. This step is facilitated by the Kre33-Enp2-Bfr2-Lcp5 protein module with the participation of the DEAD-box protein Dbp4. Though structures of Kre33 and Enp2 have been modeled in previously observed 90S structures, that of Bfr2-Lcp5 complex remains unavailable. Here, we report an AlphaFold-assisted structure determination of the Bfr2-Lcp5 complex captured in a 3.99 Å - 7.24 Å cryoEM structure of 90S isolated from yeast cells depleted of Pih1, a chaperone protein of the 90S core assembly. The structure model is consistent with the protein-protein interaction results and the secondary structures of recombinant Bfr2 and Bfr2-Lcp5 complex obtained by Circular Dichroism. The Bfr2-Lcp5 complex interaction mimics that of exosome factors Rrp6-Rrp47 and acts to regulate 90S transitions.
