Charting DENR-dependent translation reinitiation uncovers predictive uORF features and links to circadian timekeeping via Clock

ABSTRACT: The non-canonical initiation factor DENR promotes translation reinitiation on uORF-containing mRNAs. Moreover, DENR depletion shortens circadian period in mouse fibroblasts, suggesting that uORF usage and reinitiation regulate clock function. To identify DENR-regulated translation events transcriptome-wide and, in particular, specific core clock transcripts affected by this mechanism, we have used ribosome profiling in DENR-deficient NIH3T3 cells. We found 240 transcripts with altered translation rate, and used linear regression analysis to extract uORF features predictive of DENR dependance. Among core clock genes, we identified Clock as a DENR target. Using Clock 5'UTR mutants, we mapped the specific uORF through which DENR acts to regulate CLOCK protein biosynthesis. Notably, these experiments identified an alternative downstream start codon, which likely represents the true CLOCK N-terminus. Our findings provide insights into uORF-mediated translational regulation that can regulate the mammalian circadian clock and gene expression at large.

Master stress response gene ATF4 & other oncogenes are translated by DENR-dependent reinitiation

Project description:Translation efficiency varies 1000-fold between different mRNAs, thereby strongly impacting protein expression. Translation of the master stress response gene ATF4 increases in response to stress, but the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. We discover here that translation initiation factors DENR, MCTS1 and eIF2D are absolutely required to induce ATF4 translation upon stress, by promoting translation reinitiation on the ATF4 5’UTR. Hence DENR and MCTS1 are important players in the cellular Integrated Stress Response. We find DENR and MCTS1 promote reinitiation after long uORFs with specific penultimate codons, due to the tRNA that remains attached to 40S ribosomes after translation termination. This provides a model for how DENR and MCTS1 promote translation reinitiation. Since cancer cells are exposed to many stresses, they require ATF4 for survival and proliferation. We find a strong correlation between DENR•MCTS1 expression and ATF4 activity across cancers. Additional oncogenes including a-Raf, c-Raf and Cdk4 have long uORFs and are translated in a DENR•MCTS1 dependent manner. This explains in part why DENR and MCTS1 are oncogenes.

Ribosome profiling reveals the rhythmic liver translatome and circadian clock regulation by upstream open reading frames

Project description:Mammalian gene expression displays widespread circadian oscillations. Rhythmic transcription underlies the core clock mechanism, but it cannot explain numerous observations made at the level of protein rhythmicity. We have used ribosome profiling in mouse liver to measure the translation of mRNAs into protein around-the-clock and at high temporal and nucleotide resolution. Transcriptome-wide, we discovered extensive rhythms in ribosome occupancy, and identified a core set of ≈150 mRNAs subject to particularly robust daily changes in translation efficiency. Cycling proteins produced from non-oscillating transcripts revealed thus far unknown rhythmic regulation associated with specific pathways (notably in iron metabolism, through the rhythmic translation of transcripts containing iron responsive elements), and indicated feedback to the rhythmic transcriptome through novel rhythmic transcription factors. Moreover, estimates of relative levels of core clock protein biosynthesis that we deduced from the data explained known features of the circadian clock better than did mRNA expression alone. Finally, we identified uORF translation as a novel regulatory mechanism within the clock circuitry. Consistent with the occurrence of translated uORFs in several core clock transcripts, loss-of-function of Denr, a known regulator of re-initiation after uORF usage and of ribosome recycling, led to circadian period shortening in cells. In summary, our data offer a framework for understanding the dynamics of translational regulation, circadian gene expression, and metabolic control in a solid mammalian organ.

Dynamic O-GlcNAcylation of eIF3a controls translation reinitiation during integrated stress response

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, many mRNAs possess upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in addition to the main coding region. After uORF translation, the ribosome could either recycle at the stop codon or resume scanning for downstream start codons in a process known as reinitiation. Accumulating evidence suggests that some initiation factors, including eIF3, linger on the early elongating ribosome, forming an eIF3-80S complex. Very little is known how the eIF3 is carried along with the 80S during elongation and its implications in subsequent translation reinitiation. Here we report that eIF3a undergoes dynamic O-GlcNAc modification in response to nutrient starvation. Stress-induced de-O-GlcNAcylation promotes eIF3 retention on the elongating ribosome and facilitates reinitiation at downstream start codons. Eliminating the modification site from eIF3a via genome editing induces ATF4 reinitiation under the nutrient rich condition. Our findings illustrate a mechanism in balancing ribosome recycling and reinitiation, thereby linking integrated stress response and translational reprogramming.

Circadian ribosome profiling reveals a role for the Period2 upstream opening reading frame in sleep

Project description:Many mammalian proteins have circadian cycles of production and degradation, but de novo transcription is only responsible for a small fraction of this rhythmicity. We used ribosome profiling to quantify RNA translation in liver from circadian-entrained mice transferred to constant darkness conditions over a 24-h period and compared translation levels to absolute protein production for 16 circadian proteins. We observed a delay between translation and peak protein levels for several circadian genes covering a wide range of translation efficiencies. We found extensive binding of ribosomes to upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in circadian mRNAs, including the core clock gene Period2 (Per2). Increased uORFs in 5' UTRs was associated with decreased ribosome binding in downstream ORFs and reduced expression of synthetic reporter constructs in vitro and in single cells. Mutation of the Per2 uORF increased luciferase and fluorescence reporter expression in 3T3 cells without altering phase or period. Genomic Per2 uORF mutation using CRISPR/Cas9 increased PER2 expression in PER2:Luc MEFs and reduced sleep in Per2 uORF mutant mice. These results suggest that post-transcriptional processes shape translation of mRNA transcripts, which can impact physiological rhythms and sleep.

DAP5 enables main ORF translation on mRNAs with structured and uORF-containing 5’ leaders

Project description:Half of mammalian transcripts contain short upstream open reading frames (uORFs) that potentially regulate translation of the downstream coding sequence (CDS). The molecular mechanisms governing these events remain poorly understood. Here, we find that the non-canonical initiation factor Death-associated protein 5 (DAP5 or eIF4G2) is required for translation initiation on select transcripts. Using ribosome profiling and luciferase-based reporters coupled with mutational analysis we show that DAP5-dependent translation occurs on messenger RNAs (mRNAs) with long, structure-prone 5′ leader sequences and persistent uORF translation. These mRNAs preferentially code for signalling factors such as kinases and phosphatases. We also report that cap/eIF4F- and eIF4A-dependent recruitment of DAP5 to the mRNA facilitates main CDS, but not uORF, translation suggesting a role for DAP5 in translation re-initiation. Our study reveals important mechanistic insights into how a non-canonical translation initiation factor involved in stem cell fate shapes the synthesis of specific signalling factors.
