Role of a cryptic tRNA gene operon in the recovery from translation stress

ABSTRACT: As compared to Eukaryotes, Bacteria have a reduced tRNA gene set encoding between 30 and 220 tRNAs, which are thought to act in concert for the maintenance of gene translation. Here we show that in some bacteria the tRNA gene set may be partitioned in a housekeeping sub-set that sustains translation, and an inducible one that is generally silent but can be largely induced to provide functionality under particular conditions. In the model cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, the inducible set forms an operon encoding 23 functional tRNAs. Transcription of these tRNAs is induced by translation stress, i.e. by insults that impair translation, including antibiotics that target the ribosome. The operon is co-regulated with genes encoding proteins like the tRNA ligase RtcB and the stress-specific protein DpsA, probably involved in a response directed to protect the cell and recover translation. Common regulation suggests participation of operonic tRNAs in this response, although mechanistic issues remain to be determined. Similar long tRNA gene operons were found in species across major bacterial phyla and are shown to be distinct in many aspects from other operons that evolved by gene accretion.

The RtcB RNA ligase is an essential component of the metazoan unfolded protein response.

Project description:RNA ligation can regulate RNA function by altering RNA sequence, structure and coding potential. For example, the function of XBP1 in mediating the unfolded protein response requires RNA ligation, as does the maturation of some tRNAs. Here, we describe a novel in vivo model in C. elegans for the conserved RNA ligase RtcB, and show that RtcB ligates the xbp 1 mRNA during the IRE 1 branch of the unfolded protein response. Without RtcB, protein stress results in the accumulation of unligated xbp-1 mRNA fragments, defects in the unfolded protein response, and decreased lifespan. RtcB also ligates endogenous pre tRNA halves, and RtcB mutants have defects in growth and lifespan that can be bypassed by expression of pre-spliced tRNAs. In addition, animals that lack RtcB have defects that are independent of tRNA maturation and the unfolded protein response. Thus, RNA ligation by RtcB is required for the function of multiple endogenous target RNAs including both xbp-1 and tRNAs. RtcB is uniquely capable of performing these ligation functions, and RNA ligation by RtcB mediates multiple essential processes in vivo. 4 paired-end RNA-seq reads. Control worms have pre-spliced tRNAs, RtcB-null have mutated RtcB, +/- tunicamycin treatment

Genome-Wide Translation Profiling by Ribosome-Bound tRNA Capture

Project description:In the ribosome complex, tRNA is a critical element of mRNA translation. We reported a new technology for profiling ribosome-embedded tRNAs and their modifications. With the method, we generated a comprehensive survey of the quanity and quality of intra-ribosomal tRNAs (Ribo-tRNA-seq). Ribo-tRNA-seq can provide new insights on translation control mechanism in diverse biological contexts.

Multifaceted stoichiometry control of bacterial operons revealed by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry

Project description:Genes clustered into polycistronic operons was thought a characteristic of bacteria and many other species. More than half protein-coding genes are organized in polycistronic operons composed of two or more than ten genes in bacterial genomes. Although the structure of operons have been studied precisely, how the member genes within operon maintain their stoichiometry expression is remain unknown. Using a highly accurate label-free absolute quantification method DIA (data-independent acquisition), we present a global analysis of Escherichia coli proteome, quantified 1607 proteins, including 59.1% of the known polycistronic operons. We found shorter operons tend to be more tightly controlled than longer operons, and those operons for metabolic pathways are less controlled for stoichiometry balance than those operons for protein complexes. Our results thus reveal the two-level regulation mode involving transcription and translation of operons would balance the stoichiometry expression of genes in polycistronic operons in different time-scale.

Changes in relative transcript amounts caused by ∆phoU2::kanrpsL+ and double ∆phoU2::kanrpsL+ ∆phoU1::Pcerm mutations in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Project description:Unlike most bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) has two evolutionarily distinct ABC transporters (Pst1 and Pst2) for inorganic phosphate (Pi) uptake. The genes encoding a two-component regulator (PnpRS) are located immediately upstream of the pst1 operon. Both the pst1 and pst2 operons encode putative PhoU regulators (PhoU1 and PhoU2) at their ends.his study addresses why S. pneumoniae contains dual Pi uptake systems and the regulation and contribution of the Pst1 and Pst2 systems in conditions of high (mM) Pi amount and low (μM) Pi amount. To determine whether PhoU1 or PhoU2 regulates pnpRS, pst1, or pst2 operons. we performed RNA-Seq analyses of ΔphoU2::kanrpsL+ sinlge mutant and ΔphoU2::kanrpsL+ ΔphoU1::Pcerm double mutant compared to the isogenic encapsulated strain cep::kanrpsL+. Unexpectedly, only ΔphoU2::kanrpsL+ indulces the pst1 operon, but not pst2 or pnpRS operon. Addtional PhoU1 deletion has no effect on pst1, pst2, or pnpRS operons.

Identification of nascent peptides of peptidyl-tRNA dissociated from ribosome in the early elongation stage in Escherichia coli pthts cells

Project description:Accurate translation of mRNAs into functional proteins is a fundamental process in all living organisms. In bacteria, in the early stage of translation elongation, peptidyl-tRNAs (pep-tRNAs) with short nascent chains frequently dissociate from the ribosome (pep-tRNA drop-off). The dissociated pep-tRNAs are deacylated and recycled by peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase (PTH), which is an essential enzyme in bacteria. Here, we establish a highly sensitive method for direct profiling of pep-tRNAs using RNA isolation method and mass spectrometry. We isolated each tRNA species with peptide from Escherichia coli pthts cells using reciprocal circulating chromatography and precisely analyzed their nascent peptides. As a result, we successfully detected 703 peptides consisted of 402 cognate peptides and 301 non-cognate peptides with single amino-acid substitution. Detailed analysis of individual pep-tRNAs revealed that most of the substitutions in the miscoded peptides take place at the C-terminal drop-off site. We further examined this observation using a reporter construct and found that the non-cognate pep-tRNAs produced by mistranslation rarely participate in the next round of elongation but dissociate from the ribosome, suggesting that pep-tRNA drop-off is an active mechanism by which the ribosome rejects miscoded pep-tRNAs in the early elongation, thereby contributing to quality control of protein synthesis after peptide bond formation.
