Peptides encoded by 5’ untranslated regions mediate pain sensitization

ABSTRACT: Nociceptors are neurons responsible for the detection of pain producing stimuli. Persistent changes in their activity, termed plasticity, benefit survival through injury avoidance and are regulated on a translational basis. Yet, the mRNAs whose translation facilitates plasticity are unknown. Here, we apply ribosome profiling to dorsal root ganglion and identify a small number of transcripts that are selectively translated in response to plasticity mediators. Among them are Arc and Fos, genes implicated in episodic learning in the brain. We demonstrate that the ribosomal S6 kinase 1 is responsible for their production in nociceptors. Blocking S6 driven translation also reduces pain associated behavioral responses in vivo. In addition to translation of coding regions of mRNA, we detect pervasive ribosome occupancy in 5’ untranslated regions. We find that peptides encoded by open reading frames in the 5’ untranslated regions of Calca and Egr2 increase neuronal excitability in vitro and are sufficient to induce pain-like behaviors in vivo. Together, our findings uncover new targets of translational control that drive changes in plasticity and suggest new mechanisms for targeted pain therapeutics that disrupt pain signaling.

Nociceptor translational profiling reveals the RagA-mTORC1 network as a critical generator of neuropathic pain

Project description:Pain sensing neurons, nociceptors, are key drivers of neuropathic pain. We used translating ribosome affinity purification (trap) to comprehensively characterize up- and down-regulated mRNA translation in Scn10a-positive nociceptors in chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. We provide evidence that an underlying mechanism driving these changes in gene expression is a sustained mTORC1 activation driven by MNK1-eIF4E signaling. RagA, a GTPase controlling mTORC1 activity, is identified as a novel target of MNK1-eIF4E signaling, demonstrating a new link between these distinct signaling pathways. Neuropathic pain and RagA translation are strongly attenuated by genetic ablation of eIF4E phosphorylation, MNK1 elimination or treatment with the MNK inhibitor eFT508. We reveal a novel translational circuit for the genesis of neuropathic pain with important implications for next generation neuropathic pain therapeutics.

Improved ribosome-footprint and mRNA measurements provide insights into dynamics and regulation of yeast translation

Project description:Ribosome-footprint profiling provides genome-wide snapshots of translation, but technical challenges can confound its analysis. Here, we use improved methods to obtain ribosome-footprint profiles and mRNA abundances that more faithfully reflect gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our results support proposals that both the beginning of coding regions and codons matching rare tRNAs are more slowly translated. They also indicate that emergent polypeptides with as few as three basic residues within a 10-residue window tend to slow translation. With the improved mRNA measurements, the variation attributable to translational control in exponentially growing yeast was less than previously reported, and most of this variation could be predicted with a simple model that considered mRNA abundance, upstream open reading frames, cap-proximal structure and nucleotide composition, and lengths of the coding and 5'-untranslated regions. Collectively, our results provide a framework for executing and interpreting ribosome-profiling studies and reveal key features of translational control in yeast. Ribosome-footprint profiling and RNA-seq (total RNA, poly(A) selected, RiboMinus treated, or Ribo-Zero treated) from log-phase S. cerevisiae. The study includes a reanalysis of the two Samples from GSE53313. The reanalyzed data is linked to the Series record.

Direct analysis of ribosome targeting illuminates thousand-fold regulation of translation initiation

Project description:Translational control shapes the proteome in normal and pathophysiological conditions. Current high-throughput approaches reveal large differences in mRNA-specific translation activity but cannot identify the causative mRNA features. We developed direct analysis of ribosome targeting (DART) and used it to dissect regulatory elements within 5′ untranslated regions that confer thousand-fold differences in ribosome recruitment in biochemically accessible cell lysates. Using DART, we identified novel translational enhancers and silencers, determined a functional role for most alternative 5′ UTR isoforms expressed in yeast, and revealed a general mode of increased translation via direct binding to a core translation factor. DART enables systematic assessment of the translational regulatory potential of 5′ UTR variants, whether native or disease-associated, and will facilitate engineering of mRNAs for optimized protein production in various systems.

Initiation Pausing of 80S Ribosome on mRNA Is Governed by 5'UTR and Responsive to mTORC1 Signaling (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Recent studies have revealed that the mRNA translation is punctuated by ribosomal pauses through the body of transcripts. However, little is known about its physiological significance and regulatory aspects. Here we present a multi-dimensional ribosome profiling approach to quantify the dynamics of initiation and elongation of 80S ribosomes across the entire transcriptome in mammalian cells. We show that a subset of transcripts have a significant pausing of 80S ribosome around the start codon, creating a major barrier to the commitment of translation elongation. Intriguingly, genes encoding ribosome proteins themselves exhibit an exceptionally high initiation pausing on their transcripts. Our studies also reveal that the initiation pausing is dependent on the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated region (5M-bM-^@M-^Y UTR) of mRNAs and subject to the regulation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Thus, the initiation pausing of 80S ribosome represents a novel regulatory step in translational control mediated by nutrient signaling pathway.

Translational profiling of dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord in a mouse model of neuropathic pain

Project description:Acute pain serves as a protective mechanism, guiding the organism away from actual or potential tissue injury. In contrast, chronic pain is a debilitating condition without any obvious physiological function. The transition to, and the maintenance of chronic pain require new gene expression to support biochemical and structural changes within the pain pathway. The regulation of gene expression at the level of mRNA translation has emerged as an important step in the control of protein expression in the cell. Recent studies show that signaling pathways upstream of mRNA translation, such as mTORC1 and ERK, are upregulated in chronic pain conditions, and their inhibition effectively alleviates pain in several animal models. Despite this progress, mRNAs whose translation is altered in chronic pain conditions remain largely unknown. Here, we performed genome-wide translational profiling of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal cord dorsal horn tissues in a mouse model of neuropathic pain, spared nerve injury (SNI), using the ribosome profiling technique. We identified distinct subsets of mRNAs that are differentially translated in response to nerve injury in both tissues. We discovered key converging upstream regulators and pathways linked to mRNA translational control and neuropathic pain. Our data are crucial for the understanding of mechanisms by which mRNA translation promotes persistent hypersensitivity after nerve injury.

CAGE sequencing of LASV infected Vero Cells

Project description:We report a novel mechanism of gene origination in the segmented negative sense viruses (sNSVs), including IAV and LASV. During replication, these viruses use "snatched" host caps to prime their own transcription (cap-snatching). We show that a proportion of cap-snatched host sequences contain translational start codons (AUGs), that are recognized by the host ribosome. This allows for the translation of host and viral “untranslated regions” (UTRs) to create N-terminally extended viral proteins or entirely novel polypeptides by genetic overprinting.

Global analyses of mRNA expression in human sensory neurons reveals eIF5A as a conserved target for inflammatory pain

Project description:Nociceptors are a type of sensory neurons that is integral to most forms of pain. Targeted disruption of nociceptor sensitization affords unique opportunities to prevent pain. An emerging model for nociceptors are sensory neurons derived from human stem cells. Here, we subjected five groups to high-throughput sequencing: human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) prior to differentiation, mature hiPSC-derived sensory neurons, mature co-cultures containing hiPSC-derived astrocytes and sensory neurons, mouse DRG tissues, and mouse DRG cultures. Co-culture of nociceptors and astrocytes promotes expression of transcripts enriched in DRG tissues. Comparisons of the hiPSC models to tissue samples reveals that many key genes linked to pain are present. Marker genes indicative of a range of neuronal subtypes present in the DRG were detected in mature hiPSCs. Intriguingly, translation factors were maintained at consistently high expression levels across species and culture systems. As a proof of concept for the utility of this resource, we validated expression of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) in DRG tissues and hiPSC samples. eIF5A is subject to a unique post-translational hypusine modification required for its activity. Inhibition of hypusine biosynthesis prevented hyperalgesic priming by inflammatory mediators in vivo. One of two hypusine inhibitors diminished hiPSC activity in vitro. Collectively, our results illuminate the transcriptomes of hiPSC sensory neuron models. We provide a proof of concept for this resource through our investigation of eIF5A. Our findings reveal hypusine as a potential target for inflammation associated pain in males.
