Tarsl2 is evolved not for tRNA charging in vivo

ABSTRACT: As a newly evolved duplicated gene of TARS1 (encoding cytoplasmic threonyl-tRNA synthetase), TARSL2 (TARS3) encodes a protein highly similar with TARS1 with only obvious difference in N-terminus. Albeit with tRNA charging activity in vitro and incorporated into the multiple tRNA synthetase complex (MSC), whether TARSL2 is able to function as a tRNA synthetase to substitute TARS1 in vivo is unclear. In this work, we found that Tars1 was essential for embryonic development. In contrast, knockout of Tarsl2 was achievable. Loss of Tarsl2 had no effect on both abundance and charging levels of all tRNAThr isoacceptors, indicating Tarsl2 is not for tRNAThr metabolism. Furthermore, Tarsl2 deletion did not influence protein levels of other MSC components, MSC integrity and aminoacylation levels of non-cognate tRNAs by MSC components. However, a severe retardation of mice development was observed after 3 weeks accompanied with an elevated metabolism capacity and muscle development abnormity. We further constructed a Tarsl2-deleted zebrafish, which exhibited no change in the level and charging of tRNAThrs. Collectively, these data suggest that Tarsl2 is evolved not for canonical tRNAThr aminoacylation and cannot substitute Tars1 in vivo.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae translational fidelity

Project description:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are essential enzymes that ligate amino acids to tRNAs, and often require editing to ensure accurate protein synthesis. Recessive mutations in aaRSs cause various neurological disorders in humans, yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Pathogenic aaRS mutations frequently cause protein destabilization and aminoacylation deficiency. In this study, we report that combined aminoacylation and editing defects cause severe proteotoxicity. We show that a C268A mutation in yeast threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) abolishes editing and causes heat sensitivity. Surprisingly, directed-evolution of the C268A mutant result in intragenic mutations that restore heat resistance but not editing. C268A destabilizes ThrRS and decreases overall Thr-tRNAThr synthesis, and the suppressor mutations in the evolved strains improve aminoacylation. We further show that deficiency in ThrRS aminoacylation or editing alone is not sufficient to cause heat sensitivity, and that C268A impairs ribosome-associated quality control. Our results suggest that aminoacylation deficiency predisposes cells to proteotoxic stress.

McFarland2020 - Synthetase sequestration Model:a combined translation and tRNA charging cycle

Project description:The Synthetase Sequestration Model (SSM) is a simplified translation model that considers explicitly two main steps in the process of tRNA aminoacylation: first, the tRNA is bound by the aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, and in a second step, the amino acid is attached to the tRNA. The tRNA then participates in the translation reaction, becoming deacylated as a result. The tRNA exists in states bound, charged and uncharged. In the bound state, the tRNA is bound to the synthetase but uncharged, i.e., the tRNA is sequestered by the synthetase. The model predicts how the balance between the three different tRNA states (empty, bound and charged) changes depending on aminoacyl tRNA synthetase availability.

Selective control of metabolism by the GCN2 eIF2 kinase pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:When eukaryotic cells are deprived of amino acids, uncharged tRNAs accumulate and activate the conserved GCN2 protein kinase. We examine how yeast growth and tRNA charging or aminoacylation is affected during amino acid depletion in the presence and absence of GCN2. tRNA charging is measured using a microarray technique which allows for simultaneous measurement of all cytosolic tRNAs. A fully prototrophic and its isogenic GCN2 deletion strain were used. We measured relative tRNA charging levels in yeast strains with an intact and deleted GCN2.

Growth Optimized Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase Levels Prevent Maximal tRNA Charging

Project description:Summary Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) serve a dual role in charging tRNAs. Their enzymatic activities both provide protein synthesis flux and reduce uncharged tRNA levels. Although uncharged tRNAs can negatively impact bacterial growth, substantial concentrations of tRNAs remain deacylated even under nutrient-rich conditions. Here we show that tRNA charging in Bacillus subtilis is not maximized due to optimization of aaRS production during rapid growth, which prioritizes demands in protein synthesis over charging levels. The presence of uncharged tRNAs is alleviated by precisely tuned translation kinetics and the stringent response, both insensitive to aaRS overproduction but sharply responsive to underproduction, allowing for just-enough aaRS production atop a “fitness cliff”. Notably, we find that the stringent response mitigates fitness defects at all aaRS underproduction levels even without external starvation. Thus, adherence to minimal, flux-satisfying protein production drives limited tRNA charging and provides a basis for the sensitivity and setpoints of an integrated growth-control network.

Determination of tRNA aminoacylation levels by high throughput sequencing

Project description:Here we develop a high throughput sequencing method that enables accurate determination of charged tRNA fractions at single base resolution (Charged tRNA-seq). Our method takes advantage of the recently developed DM-tRNA-seq method, but includes additional chemical steps that specifically remove the 3'A residue in the uncharged tRNA. Charging fraction is obtained by counting the fraction of A-ending reads versus A+C-ending reads for each tRNA species. In HEK293T cells, most cytosolic tRNAs are charged at >90% levels, whereas tRNASer and tRNAThr are generally charged at lower levels. These low charging levels were validated using acid denaturing gels. Our method should be widely applicable for investigations of tRNA charging as a parameter for biological regulation.
