Promoter-proximal transcription-translation coupling controls early transcription in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: We report a new but determining pathway of mRNA quality control by transcription-translation coupling (TTC), which inhibits the generation of untranslatable mRNAs from the promoter-proximal region when transcription is decoupled from translation. Single-molecule mRNA FISH shows that the 5’ end-proximal regions of mRNA, of which amount reflects transcription initiation, are not generated without translation. The decoupling between transcription and translation results in the occupancy of RNAPs only within 250 base pairs from the transcription start site. It is further supported by the observation that RNAP decoupled with translation elongates mRNA only 80-90 bp on average in vivo. We show that the length of RNAP elongation before coupling with the ribosome (i.e., 5’-UTR length) determines the mRNA expression level. Our results demonstrate that the ribosome-coupling near the promoter-proximal region, within 100 bp from the transcription start site, functions as an mRNA-quality control, critical for the efficient synthesis of translatable mRNAs by RNAPs. The limited processivity of RNAP before coupling with ribosome provides a potential explanation of the natural distribution of 5’-UTR lengths in E. coli, where longer than 100 bp 5’-UTRs are rare.

Molecular basis of mRNA delivery to the bacterial ribosome by bS1 protein and RNA polymerase

Project description:The initiation of translation begins with formation of a ribosome-mRNA complex. In bacteria, the 30S ribosomal subunit is recruited to many mRNAs through both base pairing with the Shine Dalgarno (SD) sequence and RNA-binding by ribosomal protein bS1. Translation can initiate on mRNAs that are being transcribed, and RNA polymerase (RNAP) can promote recruitment of the pioneering 30S. Here we have examined ribosome recruitment to mRNAs using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), single-molecule fluorescence co-localization, and whole-cell cross-linking mass spectrometry. Structures of 30S-mRNA complexes show that bS1 delivers the mRNA to the ribosome for SD duplex formation and initial 30S subunit activation. RNAP associates flexibly with the 30S platform during nascent mRNA delivery and accelerates their association in a bS1-dependent manner in vitro. Collectively, our data provide a mechanistic framework for how the SD duplex, ribosomal proteins and RNAP cooperate in 30S recruitment to mRNAs and thereby establish transcription-translation coupling.

DksA Guards Elongating RNA Polymerase Against Ribosome-Stalling-Induced Arrest

Project description:In bacteria, translation-transcription coupling inhibits RNA polymerase (RNAP) stalling. We present evidence suggesting that, upon amino acid starvation, inactive ribosomes promote rather than inhibit RNAP stalling. We developed an algorithm to evaluate genome-wide polymerase progression independently of local noise, and used it to reveal that the transcription factor DksA inhibits promoter-proximal pausing and increases RNAP elongation when uncoupled from translation by depletion of charged tRNAs. DksA has minimal effect on RNAP elongation in vitro and on untranslated RNAs in vivo. In these cases, transcripts can form RNA structures that prevent backtracking. Thus, the effect of DksA on transcript elongation may occur primarily upon ribosome slowing/stalling or at promoter-proximal locations that limit the potential for RNA structure. We propose that inactive ribosomes prevent formation of backtrackblocking mRNA structures and that, in this circumstance, DksA acts as a transcription elongation factor in vivo. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments were performed by using antibodies against RNA polymerase b subunit in wild-type and DdksA cells treated with 0.5mg/ml serine hydroxamate (SHX) or untreated. DksA and s70 enrichments were compared to RNAP enrichment by ChIP experiments using antibodies against s70 and DksA in wild-type cells (also in DdksA cells as a negative control for DksA ChIP-chip). Differentially labeled ChIP DNA and genomic DNA were competitively hybridized to an E. coli K-12 MG1655 tiling array with overlapping probes at ~12bp spacing across the entire genome. The series contains 19 datasets.

In-cell architecture of an active transcription-translation complex

Project description:Structural biology performed inside cells can capture molecular machines in action within their native context. Here we develop an integrative in-cell structural approach using the genome-reduced human pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae. We combine whole-cell crosslinking mass spectrometry, cellular cryo-electron tomography, and integrative modeling to determine an in-cell architecture of a transcribing and translating expressome at sub-nanometer resolution. The expressome comprises RNA polymerase (RNAP), the ribosome, and the transcription elongation factors NusG and NusA. We pinpoint NusA at the interface between the ribosome and a NusG-bound elongating RNAP, and propose it could mediate transcription-translation coupling. Transcription inhibition stalls and rearranges the expressome, whereas translation inhibition dissociates it, demonstrating that the elongating expressome architecture requires active translation and transcription within the cell.

RNA polymerase stalling-derived genome instability underlies ribosomal antibiotic efficacy and resistance evolution

Project description:Bacteria often evolve antibiotic resistance through mutagenesis. However, the processes causing the mutagenesis have not been fully resolved. Here we found that a broad range of ribosome-targeting antibiotics caused mutations through an underexplored pathway. Focusing on the clinically important aminoglycoside gentamicin, we found that the translation inhibitor caused genome-wide premature stalling of RNA polymerase (RNAP) in a loci-dependent manner. Further analysis showed that the stalling was caused by disruption of transcription-translation coupling. Anti-intuitively, the stalled RNAPs subsequently induced lesions to the DNA via transcription-coupled repair. While most of the bacteria were killed by genotoxicity, a small subpopulation acquired mutations via SOS-induced mutagenesis. Given that these processes were triggered shortly after antibiotic addition, resistance rapidly emerged in the population. Our work revealed a new mechanism of action of ribosomal antibiotics, illustrates the importance of dissecting the complex interplay between multiple molecular processes in understanding antibiotic efficacy, and suggests new strategies for countering the development of resistance.

Full-length RNA profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with SEnd-seq

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a bacterial pathogen that causes tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease that inflicts major health and economic costs around the world. Mtb encounters diverse environments during its lifecycle and responds to these changes by reprogramming its transcriptional output. However, the mechanisms and regulation of Mtb transcription remains poorly understood. In this work, we simultaneously determine the 5' and 3' ends of individual RNA molecules in Mtb cells using the SEnd-seq method, which enables us to profile the Mtb transcriptome at high resolution. Unexpectedly, we find that most Mtb transcripts are incomplete, with their 5' ends aligned at transcription start sites and 3' ends located 200-500 nucleotides downstream. Using native elongating transcript sequencing, we show that these short RNAs are mainly associated with paused RNA polymerases (RNAPs) rather than products of premature termination. We further show that the high propensity of Mtb RNAP to pause early in transcription is dependent on the binding of the sigma factor. Finally, we show that a translating ribosome promotes transcription elongation, suggesting a role for transcription-translation coupling in Mtb gene expression. In sum, our findings depict a mycobacterial transcriptome that prominently features incomplete transcripts resulting from RNAP pausing. We propose that the pausing phase constitutes an important transcriptional checkpoint in Mtb that allows the bacterium to adapt to new environments and could be exploited for TB therapeutics.

Nascent elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) for Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis reveals a consensus pause sequence enriched at translation start sites.

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase (RNAP) is interrupted by pauses that play diverse regulatory roles. Although individual pauses have been studied in vitro, the determinants of pauses in vivo and their distribution throughout the bacterial genome remain unknown. Using nascent transcript sequencing we identify a 16 nt consensus pause sequence in E. coli that accounts for known regulatory pause sites as well as ~20,000 new in vivo pause sites. In vitro single-molecule and ensemble analyses demonstrate that these pauses result from RNAP/nucleic-acid interactions that inhibit next-nucleotide addition. The consensus sequence also leads to pausing by RNAPs from diverse lineages and is enriched at translation start sites in both E. coli and B. subtilis. Our results thus implicate a conserved mechanism unifying known and newly identified pause events. Examination of nascent transcripts in E. coli and B. subtilis. 6 samples of E. coli NET-seq, 1 sample of E. coli mRNA-seq, and 1 sample of B. subtilis NET-seq.
