EIF4F complex dynamics are important for the activation of the integrated stress response

ABSTRACT: In response to stress, eukaryotes activate the integrated stress response (ISR) via phosphorylation of eIF2α to promote the translation of pro-survival effector genes, such as GCN4 in yeast. Complementing the ISR is the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) pathway, which regulates eIF4E function. Here we probe translational control in the absence of eIF4E in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Intriguingly, we find that loss of eIF4E leads to de-repression of GCN4 translation. In addition, we find that de-repression of GCN4 translation is neither accompanied by eIF2α phosphorylation nor reduction in initiator ternary complex. Our data suggest that when eIF4E levels are depleted, GCN4 translation is de-repressed via a unique mechanism that may involve faster scanning by the small ribosome subunit due to increased local concentration of eIF4A. Overall, our findings suggest that relative levels of eIF4F components are key to ribosome dynamics and may play important roles in translational control of gene expression.

The Small Molecule ISRIB Reverses the Effects of eIF2α Phosphorylation on Translation and Stress Granule Assembly

Project description:We recently identified ISRIB as a potent inhibitor of the integrated stress response (ISR). ISRIB renders cells resistant to the effects of eIF2α phosphorylation and enhances long-term memory in rodents (10.7554/eLife.00498). Here we show by genome-wide in vivo ribosome profiling that translation of a restricted subset of mRNAs is induced upon ISR activation. ISRIB substantially reversed the translational effects elicited by phosphorylation of eIF2α and induced no major changes in translation or mRNA levels in unstressed cells. eIF2α phosphorylation-induced stress granule (SG) formation was blocked by ISRIB. Strikingly, ISRIB addition to stressed cells with pre-formed SGs induced their rapid disassembly, liberating mRNAs into the actively translating pool. Restoration of mRNA translation and modulation of SG dynamics may be an effective treatment of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by eIF2α phosphorylation, SG formation and cognitive loss.

Impact of eIF2α phosphorylation on the translational landscape of mouse embryonic stem cells [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The integrated stress response (ISR) is critical for cell survival under stress. In response to diverse environmental cues, eIF2αbecomes phosphorylated, engendering a dramatic change in mRNA translation. The activation of ISR plays a pivotal role in the early embryogenesis but the eIF2-dependent translational landscape in pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESC) is largely unexplored. We employ a multi-omics approachconsisting of ribosome profiling, proteomics, and metabolomics inwild-type(eIF2α+/+)andphosphorylation-deficient mutant eIF2α(eIF2αA/A)mouse ESCs (mESCs) to investigate phosphorylated (p)-eIF2α-dependent translational control of naïve pluripotency. We show a transient increase in p-eIF2α in the naïve epiblast layer of E4.5 embryos. Absence of eIF2α phosphorylation engenders an exit from naive pluripotency following 2i (two chemical inhibitors of MEK1/2 and GSK3α/β) withdrawal. p-eIF2α controls translation of mRNAs encoding proteins which govern pluripotency, chromatin organization, and glutathione synthesis.Thus, p-eIF2αacts as a key regulator of the naïve pluripotency gene regulatory network.

N6-Methyladenosine Guides mRNA Alternative Translation during Integrated Stress Response

Project description:The integrated stress response (ISR) facilitates cellular adaptation to a variety of stress conditions via phosphorylation of the common target eIF2α. During ISR, the translation of certain stress-related mRNAs is upregulated in spite of global suppression of protein synthesis.The selective translation often relieson alternative mechanisms, such as leaky scanning or reinitiation, but the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here we report that,in response to amino acid starvation, the reinitiation of ATF4 is not only governed by eIF2α-controlled ternary complex availability, but is also subjected to regulation by mRNA methylation in the form of N6-methyladenosine (m6A). We demonstrate that m6A in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) controls ribosome scanning and subsequent start codonselection. Global profiling of initiating ribosomes reveals widespread alternative translation events influenced by mRNA methylation. Consistently, Fto-transgenic mice manifest enhanced ATF4 expression, highlighting the critical role of 5’ UTR methylation in translational regulation of ISR at cellular and organismal levels.

mTORC1 and CK2 coordinate ternary and eIF4F complex assembly

Project description:mRNA translation plays a major role in homeostasis, whereas its dysregulation underpins a variety of pathological states including cancer, metabolic syndrome and neurological disorders. Ternary complex (TC) and eIF4F complex assembly are two major rate-limiting steps in translation initiation that are thought to be regulated by eIF2α phosphorylation, and the mTOR/4E-BP pathway, respectively2. However, how TC and eIF4F assembly are coordinated remains largely unknown. Using polysome-profiling, we show that on a genome-wide scale mTOR suppresses translation of mRNAs, which are translationally activated under short-term ER stress when TC recycling is attenuated by eIF2α phosphorylation. During acute nutrient or growth factor stimulation, mTORC1 induces eIF2β phosphorylation, which increases recruitment of NCK1 to eIF2, decreases eIF2α phosphorylation and bolsters TC recycling. Accordingly, eIF2β appears to act as a previously unidentified mediator of mTORC1 on protein synthesis and proliferation. In addition, we demonstrate a formerly undocumented role for CK2 in regulation of translation initiation, whereby CK2 stimulates phosphorylation of eIF2β and simultaneously bolsters eIF4F complex assembly via the mTORC1/4E-BP pathway. These findings imply a previously unrecognized mode of translation regulation whereby mTORC1 and CK2 coordinate TC and eIF4F complex assembly to stimulate cell proliferation.

The integrated stress response is tumorigenic and constitutes a therapeutic liability in KRAS-driven lung cancer.

Project description:The integrated stress response (ISR) is an essential stress-support pathway increasingly recognized as a determinant of tumorigenesis. Here we demonstrate that ISR is pivotal in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) development, the most common histological type of lung cancer and a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Increased phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor eIF2 (p-eIF2α), the focal point of ISR, is related to invasiveness, increased growth, and poor outcome in 928 LUAD patients. Dissection of ISR mechanisms in KRAS-driven lung tumorigenesis in mice demonstrated that p-eIF2α causes specific translational repression of dual specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6), resulting in increased phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK). Treatments with ISR inhibitors, including a memory-enhancing drug with limited toxicity, provides a novel therapeutic option for KRAS-driven lung cancer insofar as they substantially reduce tumor growth and prolong mouse survival. Our data provide a novel rationale for the implementation of ISR-based regimens in LUAD treatment.

Effect of stress on the binding affinity of yeast eIF4F components to their target RNAs

Project description:Translation factors eIF4E and eIF4G form eIF4F, which binds to mRNAs to promote ribosome recruitment and translation initiation. We were interested in analysing the effects of stresses on eIF4F interactions with individual mRNAs. We used a RIP-seq approach to assess how mRNA associations with eIF4E, eIF4G1 and eIF4G2 change in response to three stresses: 1) addition of hydrogen peroxide; 2) amino acids withdrawal; and, 3) glucose withdrawal. We find that acute stress leads to changes in eIF4FmRNA interactions that are shared among each factor and across the stresses imposed.

Examination of gene expression in cerebellum of mouse strains B6J, B6J-nmf205-/-, B6J-Gcn2-/- and B6J-nmf205-/-;Gcn2-/-.

Project description:Ribosome stalling during translation has recently been shown to cause neurodegeneration, yet the signaling pathways triggered by stalled elongation complexes are unknown. To investigate these pathways we analyzed the brain of B6J-nmf205-/- mice in which neuronal elongation complexes are stalled at AGA codons due to deficiencies in a tRNA Arg(UCU) tRNA and GTPBP2, a mammalian ribosome rescue factor. Increased levels of phosphorylation of eIF2α (Ser51) were detected prior to neurodegeneration in these mice and transcriptome analysis demonstrated activation of ATF4, a key transcription factor in the integrated stress response (ISR) pathway. Genetic experiments showed that this pathway was activated by the eIF2α kinase, GCN2, in an apparent deacylated tRNA-independent fashion. Further we found that the ISR attenuates neurodegeneration in B6J-nmf205-/- mice, underscoring the importance of cellular and stress context on the outcome of activation of this pathway. These results demonstrate the critical interplay between translation elongation and initiation in regulating neuron survival during cellular stress.
