Hcr1/eIF3j is a 60S ribosomal subunit recycling accessory factor in vivo

ABSTRACT: Hcr1/eIF3j is a sub-stoichiometric subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) that can dissociate the post-termination 40S ribosomal subunit from mRNA in vitro. We examined this ribosome recycling role in vivo by ribosome profiling and reporter assays and found that loss of Hcr1 led to reinitiation of translation in 3’UTRs, consistent with a defect in recycling. However, the defect appeared to be in recycling of the 60S subunit, rather than the 40S subunit, because reinitiation did not require an AUG codon and was suppressed by overexpression of the 60S dissociation factor Rli1/ABCE1. Consistent with a 60S recycling role, overexpression of Hcr1 could not compensate for loss of 40S recycling factors Tma64/eIF2D and Tma20/MCT-1. Intriguingly, loss of Hcr1 triggered higher expression of RLI1 via an apparent feedback loop. These findings suggest Hcr1/eIF3j is recruited to ribosomes at stop codons and may coordinate the transition to a new round of translation.

Project description:The REIL proteins are required for late ribosomal biogenesis and accumulation of the 60S large ribosome subunit in mature leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana upon acclimation to low temperature. To validate these functions in roots, we conducted a multi-level system analysis targeted at understanding defects and compensations responses of reil mutants before acclimation to low temperature and following temperature shift. Hydroponic root tissue enabled analysis of eukaryotic ribosome complexes with negligible interference of organelle ribosomes. Hydroponic cultivation attenuated the growth defect of reil mutants at low temperature and provided new insights into the primary functions of Arabidopsis REIL proteins. Arabidopsis tightly controls the balance of non-translating 40S and 60S subunits. Reil mutants initially deplete both non-translating subunits upon shift to 10°C and subsequently replenish these pools slowly. Reil mutations compensate the 60S biosynthesis defect by increased baseline levels of non-translating 40S and 60S subunits and depletion of a likely non-translating, KCl-sensitive 80S sub-fraction in the cold. We infer that Arabidopsis buffers fluctuating translation demands following temperature cues by activating non-translating ribosome fractions before de novo synthesis meets temperature-induced demands. Reil1 reil2 double mutants accumulate 43S-preinitiation complexes and pre-60S-maturation complexes and affect the paralog composition of non-translating ribosome fractions. With few exceptions, e.g. RPL3B and RPL24C, these changes were not under transcriptional control. Our study suggests requirement of de novo synthesis of eukaryotic ribosomes for long-term cold acclimation. Double mutant analysis indicates feedback control of REIL-mediated 60S maturation on NUC2 and eIF3C2 transcription and implies functions of two so far non-described proteins in late plant ribosome biogenesis. We propose that Arabidopsis requires biosynthesis of specialized ribosomes for successful cold acclimation.
