Structural basis for ribosome recycling by RRF and tRNA.

ABSTRACT: The bacterial ribosome is recycled into subunits by two conserved proteins, elongation factor G (EF-G) and the ribosome recycling factor (RRF). The molecular basis for ribosome recycling by RRF and EF-G remains unclear. Here, we report the crystal structure of a posttermination Thermus thermophilus 70S ribosome complexed with EF-G, RRF and two transfer RNAs at a resolution of 3.5 Å. The deacylated tRNA in the peptidyl (P) site moves into a previously unsuspected state of binding (peptidyl/recycling, p/R) that is analogous to that seen during initiation. The terminal end of the p/R-tRNA forms nonfavorable contacts with the 50S subunit while RRF wedges next to central inter-subunit bridges, illuminating the active roles of tRNA and RRF in dissociation of ribosomal subunits. The structure uncovers a missing snapshot of tRNA as it transits between the P and exit (E) sites, providing insights into the mechanisms of ribosome recycling and tRNA translocation.

Temperature-sensitive mutation in yeast mitochondrial ribosome recycling factor (RRF).

Project description:The yeast protein Rrf1p encoded by the FIL1 nuclear gene bears significant sequence similarity to Escherichia coli ribosome recycling factor (RRF). Here, we call FIL1 Ribosome Recycling Factor of yeast, RRF1. Its gene product, Rrf1p, was localized in mitochondria. Deletion of RRF1 leads to a respiratory incompetent phenotype and to instability of the mitochondrial genome (conversion to rho(-)/rho(0) cytoplasmic petites). Yeast with intact mitochondria and with deleted genomic RRF1 that harbors a plasmid carrying RRF1 was prepared from spores of heterozygous diploid yeast. Such yeast with a mutated allele of RRF1, rrf1-L209P, grew on a non-fermentable carbon source at 30 but not at 36 degrees C, where mitochondrial but not total protein synthesis was 90% inhibited. We propose that Rrf1p is essential for mitochondrial protein synthesis and acts as a RRF in mitochondria.

Structural basis of GTPase-mediated mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis and recycling.

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis requires auxiliary factors to promote folding and assembly of ribosomal proteins and RNA. Particularly, maturation of the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) is mediated by conserved GTPases, but the molecular basis is poorly understood. Here, we define the mechanism of GTPase-driven maturation of the human mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (mtLSU) using endogenous complex purification, in vitro reconstitution and cryo-EM. Structures of transient native mtLSU assembly intermediates that accumulate in GTPBP6-deficient cells reveal how the biogenesis factors GTPBP5, MTERF4 and NSUN4 facilitate PTC folding. Addition of recombinant GTPBP6 reconstitutes late mtLSU biogenesis in vitro and shows that GTPBP6 triggers a molecular switch and progression to a near-mature PTC state. Additionally, cryo-EM analysis of GTPBP6-treated mature mitochondrial ribosomes reveals the structural basis for the dual-role of GTPBP6 in ribosome biogenesis and recycling. Together, these results provide a framework for understanding step-wise PTC folding as a critical conserved quality control checkpoint.

Structural basis for mRNA and tRNA positioning on the ribosome.

Project description:Protein synthesis requires the accurate positioning of mRNA and tRNA in the peptidyl-tRNA site of the ribosome. Here we describe x-ray crystal structures of the intact bacterial ribosome from Escherichia coli in a complex with mRNA and the anticodon stem-loop of P-site tRNA. At 3.5-A resolution, these structures reveal rearrangements in the intact ribosome that clamp P-site tRNA and mRNA on the small ribosomal subunit. Binding of the anticodon stem-loop of P-site tRNA to the ribosome is sufficient to lock the head of the small ribosomal subunit in a single conformation, thereby preventing movement of mRNA and tRNA before mRNA decoding.

Structural basis of highly conserved ribosome recycling in eukaryotes and archaea.

Project description:Ribosome-driven protein biosynthesis is comprised of four phases: initiation, elongation, termination and recycling. In bacteria, ribosome recycling requires ribosome recycling factor and elongation factor G, and several structures of bacterial recycling complexes have been determined. In the eukaryotic and archaeal kingdoms, however, recycling involves the ABC-type ATPase ABCE1 and little is known about its structural basis. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions of eukaryotic and archaeal ribosome recycling complexes containing ABCE1 and the termination factor paralogue Pelota. These structures reveal the overall binding mode of ABCE1 to be similar to canonical translation factors. Moreover, the iron-sulphur cluster domain of ABCE1 interacts with and stabilizes Pelota in a conformation that reaches towards the peptidyl transferase centre, thus explaining how ABCE1 may stimulate peptide-release activity of canonical termination factors. Using the mechanochemical properties of ABCE1, a conserved mechanism in archaea and eukaryotes is suggested that couples translation termination to recycling, and eventually to re-initiation.

The structural basis for specific decoding of AUA by isoleucine tRNA on the ribosome.

Project description:Decoding of the AUA isoleucine codon in bacteria and archaea requires modification of a C in the anticodon wobble position of the isoleucine tRNA. Here, we report the crystal structure of the archaeal tRNA2(Ile), which contains the modification agmatidine in its anticodon, in complex with the AUA codon on the 70S ribosome. The structure illustrates how agmatidine confers codon specificity for AUA over AUG.

Functional mapping of ribosome-contact sites in the ribosome recycling factor: a structural view from a tRNA mimic.

Project description:Ribosome recycling factor (RRF) is required for disassembly of the posttermination complex of the ribosome after release of polypeptides. The crystal structure of RRF resembles a tRNA shape, with an architecturally different flexibility compared with tRNA, but its structure-and-function relationships are unknown. We here found that an RRF variant defective in ribosome binding regains the binding capacity through 20 independent secondary changes occurring in three topologically distinct regions of RRF. Because two of these regions are equivalent to the tip of the anticodon stem and the upper surface of the acceptor stem of tRNA, RRF may interact with the ribosome in a way similar to tRNA, spanning 30S and 50S subunits, to exert its action for splitting the ribosome.

Structural Insights into ribosome recycling factor interactions with the 70S ribosome.

Project description:At the end of translation in bacteria, ribosome recycling factor (RRF) is used together with elongation factor G to recycle the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits for the next round of translation. In x-ray crystal structures of RRF with the Escherichia coli 70S ribosome, RRF binds to the large ribosomal subunit in the cleft that contains the peptidyl transferase center. Upon binding of either E. coli or Thermus thermophilus RRF to the E. coli ribosome, the tip of ribosomal RNA helix 69 in the large subunit moves away from the small subunit toward RRF by 8 A, thereby disrupting a key contact between the small and large ribosomal subunits termed bridge B2a. In the ribosome crystals, the ability of RRF to destabilize bridge B2a is influenced by crystal packing forces. Movement of helix 69 involves an ordered-to-disordered transition upon binding of RRF to the ribosome. The disruption of bridge B2a upon RRF binding to the ribosome seen in the present structures reveals one of the key roles that RRF plays in ribosome recycling, the dissociation of 70S ribosomes into subunits. The structures also reveal contacts between domain II of RRF and protein S12 in the 30S subunit that may also play a role in ribosome recycling.

X-ray crystallography study on ribosome recycling: the mechanism of binding and action of RRF on the 50S ribosomal subunit.

Project description:This study presents the crystal structure of domain I of the Escherichia coli ribosome recycling factor (RRF) bound to the Deinococcus radiodurans 50S subunit. The orientation of RRF is consistent with the position determined on a 70S-RRF complex by cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM). Alignment, however, requires a rotation of 7 degrees and a shift of the cryo-EM RRF by a complete turn of an alpha-helix, redefining the contacts established with ribosomal components. At 3.3 A resolution, RRF is seen to interact exclusively with ribosomal elements associated with tRNA binding and/or translocation. Furthermore, these results now provide a high-resolution structural description of the conformational changes that were suspected to occur on the 70S-RRF complex, which has implications for the synergistic action of RRF with elongation factor G (EF-G). Specifically, the tip of the universal bridge element H69 is shifted by 20 A toward h44 of the 30S subunit, suggesting that RRF primes the intersubunit bridge B2a for the action of EF-G. Collectively, our data enable a model to be proposed for the dual action of EF-G and RRF during ribosome recycling.

PSRP1 is not a ribosomal protein, but a ribosome-binding factor that is recycled by the ribosome-recycling factor (RRF) and elongation factor G (EF-G).

Project description:Plastid-specific ribosomal proteins (PSRPs) have been proposed to play roles in the light-dependent regulation of chloroplast translation. Here we demonstrate that PSRP1 is not a bona fide ribosomal protein, but rather a functional homologue of the Escherichia coli cold-shock protein pY. Three-dimensional Cryo-electron microscopic (Cryo-EM) reconstructions reveal that, like pY, PSRP1 binds within the intersubunit space of the 70S ribosome, at a site overlapping the positions of mRNA and A- and P-site tRNAs. PSRP1 induces conformational changes within ribosomal components that comprise several intersubunit bridges, including bridge B2a, thereby stabilizes the ribosome against dissociation. We find that the presence of PSRP1/pY lowers the binding of tRNA to the ribosome. Furthermore, similarly to tRNAs, PSRP1/pY is recycled from the ribosome by the concerted action of the ribosome-recycling factor (RRF) and elongation factor G (EF-G). These results suggest a novel function for EF-G and RRF in the post-stress return of PSRP1/pY-inactivated ribosomes to the actively translating pool.
