Grad-seq shines light on unrecognized RNA and protein complexes in the model bacterium Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: Stable protein complexes, including those formed with RNA, are major building blocks of every living cell. Escherichia coli has been the leading organism with respect to global bacterial protein-protein networks. However, there has been no global census of RNA/protein complexes in this model species of microbiology. Here, we performed Grad-seq to establish an RNA/protein complexome, reconstructing sedimentation profiles in a glycerol gradient for ~85% of all E. coli transcripts and ~49% of the proteins. In presenting use cases for this resource to be exploited, we show that its stable association with 30S ribosomes gives the seemingly noncoding RNA RyeG of prophage origin away as an mRNA of a toxic small protein. Similarly, we show that the broadly conserved uncharacterized protein YggL is a 50S subunit factor in assembled 70S ribosomes. Overall, this study complements existing interactome resources for the primary model bacterium E. coli with valuable RNA/protein complexome information and should facilitate functional discovery in this and many related species.

Structure of Escherichia coli heat shock protein Hsp15 in complex with ribosomal 50S sununits bearing peptidyl-tRNA

Project description:In Escherichia coli, the heat shock protein 15 (Hsp15) is part of the cellular response to elevated temperature. Hsp15 interacts with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complexes that arise upon dissociation of translating 70S ribosomes, and is proposed to facilitate their rescue and recycling. A previous structure of E. coli Hsp15 in complex with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complex reported a binding site located at the central protuberance of the 50S subunit. By contrast, recent structures of RqcP, the Hsp15 homolog in Bacillus subtilis, in complex with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complexes have revealed a distinct site positioned between the anticodon-stem-loop (ASL) of the P-site tRNA and H69 of the 23S rRNA. Here we demonstrate that exposure of E. coli cells to heat shock leads to dissociation of 70S ribosomes and accumulation of 50S subunits, thus identifying a natural substrate for Hsp15 binding. Additionally, we have determined a cryo-EM reconstruction of the Hsp15-50S-peptidyl-tRNA complex isolated from heat shocked E. coli cells, revealing that Hsp15 binds to the 50S-peptidyl-tRNA complex analogously to its B. subtilis homolog RqcP. Collectively, our findings support a model where Hsp15 promotes access to the A-site for putative rescue factors to release the aberrant nascent polypeptide chain.

Grad-seq in a Gram-positive bacterium reveals exonucleolytic sRNA activation in competence control

Project description:RNA-protein interactions crucially underlie many steps of bacterial gene expression including post-transcriptional control by small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs). In stark contrast with recent progress in Gram-negative bacteria, knowledge about RNA and protein complexes in Gram-positive species remains scarce. Here, we used Grad-seq to draft a landscape of such complexes in Streptococcus pneumoniae, determining the sedimentation profiles of ~88% of the transcripts and ~62% of the proteins of this important human pathogen. Analysis of in-gradient distributions and subsequent tag-based protein capture identified interactions of the exoribonuclease Cbf1 (a.k.a. YhaM) with sRNAs that control bacterial competence. Contrary to expectation, the nucleolytic activity of Cbf1 stabilized these sRNAs, thereby promoting their function as repressors of competence. These results illustrate how this first RNA/protein complexome resource for a Gram-positive species can be utilized to identify new molecular factors in RNA-based regulation of pathways with relevance to bacterial virulence.

R-proteins in modification deficient ribosomes - dissociated 50S subunits from 70S

Project description:Ribosomal RNA modifications are introduced by specific enzymes during ribosome assembly in bacteria. Deletion of individual modification enzymes has a minor effect on bacterial growth, ribosome biogenesis, and translation, which has complicated the definition of the function of the enzymes and their products. We have constructed an E. coli strain lacking 10 genes encoding enzymes that modify 23S rRNA around the peptidyl-transferase center. This strain exhibits severely compromised growth and ribosome assembly, especially at lower temperatures. Ribosomal protein composition of the mature 50S ribosomes and free 50S subunits was analyzed by SILAC based qMS approach. We have found that absence of 23S rRNA modifications around PTC does not affect significantly r-protein content of incompletely assembled 50S or mature 50S ribosomes.

Enterococcus Grad-seq and KhpB RIP-seq

Project description:We investigated the RNA-protein interactome of Enterococcus faecalis V583 and Enterococcus faecium Aus0004 by native gradient fractionation of complexes coupled to RNA-sequencing. Whole bacterial cell lysates were analysed by size and density in a glycerol gradient. At native conditions, RNA-protein complexes stay intact and sediment as a whole. Sedimentation profiles of individual RNAs appear correlated in case of interaction in a complex. The profile of KhpB caught our attention and we determined its RNA interactome by immunoprecipitation that suggests a role at the post-transcriptional level, binding notably several tRNAs, sRNAs, and 3’UTRs.

Ribosome protein composition in wt and 23S+5S rRNA ribosomes

Project description:The 120-nt long 5S rRNA, is an indispensable component of cytoplasmic ribosomes in all living organisms. The functions of 5S rRNA and the reasons for its evolutionary preservation as an independent molecule remain unclear. Here we used ribosome engineering to investigate whether maintaining 5S rRNA as an independent molecule is critical for ribosome function and cell survival. By fusing circularly permutated 5S rRNA (cp5S) with 23S rRNA and deleting all wild type 5S rRNA genes, we generated an Escherichia coli strain completely devoid of free 5S rRNA. Viability of the engineered cells demonstrates that autonomous 5S rRNA is not required for cell growth at 37°C and is unlikely to have essential functions outside the ribosome. The fully-assembled ribosomes carrying 23S-cp5S hybrid rRNA and lacking free 5S rRNA are highly active in translation. However, the engineered cells accumulate aberrant 50S subunits that are unable to form stable 70S ribosomes. Cryo-EM analysis revealed a dramatically malformed peptidyl transferase center in the misassembled 50S subunits. The results of our experiments argue that the key evolutionary force preserving the autonomous nature of the smallest rRNA is its role in ribosome biogenesis.

Structural Basis for Bacterial Ribosome-Associated Quality Control by RqcH and RqcP

Project description:In all branches of life, stalled translation intermediates are recognized and processed by ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) pathways. RQC begins with the splitting of stalled ribosomes, leaving an unfinished polypeptide still attached to the large subunit. Ancient and conserved NEMF family RQC proteins target these incomplete proteins for degradation by the addition of C-terminal "tails." How such tailing can occur without the regular suite of translational components is, however, unclear. Using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (EM) of native complexes, we show that C-terminal tailing in Bacillus subtilis is mediated by NEMF protein RqcH in concert with RqcP, an Hsp15 family protein. Our structures reveal how these factors mediate tRNA movement across the ribosomal 50S subunit to synthesize polypeptides in the absence of mRNA or the small subunit.

RqcH and RqcP catalyze processive poly-alanine synthesis

Project description:In the cell, stalled ribosomes are rescued through ribosome-associated protein quality-control (RQC) pathways. We demonstrate that RqcH is responsible for tRNAAla selection during RQC elongation, whereas RqcP lacks any tRNA specificity. The ribosomal protein uL11 is crucial for RqcH, but not RqcP, recruitment to the 50S subunit, and B. subtilis lacking uL11 are RQC-deficient. Through mutational mapping, we identify critical residues within RqcH and RqcP that are important for interaction with the P-site tRNA and/or the 50S subunit. Collectively, our findings provide mechanistic insight into the role of RqcH and RqcP in the bacterial RQC pathway. the synthesis of C-terminal poly-Alanine ‘tail’. While it is well-established that RqcP and RqcH are essential for poly-Alanine-tailing in living cells, here, by reconstituting the RQC elongation biochemically we provide a direct proof that the two factors are sufficient. We demonstrate that while RqcH is responsible for tRNAAla selection during RQC elongation, RqcP lacks the tRNA specificity. Through mutational mapping we show that stable interaction of RqcP with 23S rRNA – but not with tRNA – is crucial for RQC, supporting the role of the E-site bound RqcP as a pawl of RQC elongation ratchet. We show that ribosomal protein uL11 is crucial for RqcH – but nor RqcP – recruitment to 50S, and B. subtilis lacking uL11 is RQC-deficient. Finally, we show that proteins encoded by non-stop mRNAs are not universally efficiently targeted by RQC, and that simultaneous disruption of RQC and trans-translation results in bacterial filamentation

The Arabidopsis Protein CONSERVED ONLY IN THE GREEN LINEAGE20 is Required for Plastid 50S Ribosome Biogenesis

Project description:Biogenesis of plastid ribosomes is facilitated by auxiliary factors which process and modify ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) or are involved in ribosome assembly. In comparison to their bacterial and mitochondrial counterparts, the biogenesis of plastid ribosomes is less well understood and few auxiliary factors have been described so far. In this study, we report the functional characterization of CGL20 (CONSERVED ONLY IN THE GREEN LINEAGE20) in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtCGL20) a small, proline-rich protein which is targeted to mitochondria and chloroplasts. In Arabidopsis, CGL20 is encoded by segmentally duplicated genes of high similarity (AtCGL20A and AtCGL20B), and inactivation of both in the atcgl20ab mutant leads to a visible virescent phenotype, and growth arrest at low temperature. The chloroplast proteome, thylakoid complex abundance and pigment composition are significantly affected in atcgl20ab mutants, resulting in a combined proton gradient regulation (pgr) and chlororespiratory reduction (crr) phenotype. Loss of AtCGL20 alters plastid rRNA ratios, perturbs the formation of a hidden break in 23S rRNA and causes abnormal accumulation of 50S ribosomal subunits in the high-molecular-mass fraction of chloroplast stromal extracts. Moreover, AtCGL20A-eGFP fusion proteins comigrate with 50S ribosomal subunits in sucrose density gradients, even after RNase treatment of stromal extracts. Therefore, we propose that AtCGL20 participates in late stages of the biogenesis of 50S ribosomal subunits in plastids – a role which presumably evolved in the green lineage as a consequence of structural divergence of plastid ribosomes.
