M6A alters ribosome dynamics to initiate mRNA degradation

ABSTRACT: Degradation of mRNA containing N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is essential for cell growth, differentiation, and stress responses. Here, we show that m6A markedly alters ribosome dynamics and that these alterations mediate the degradation effect of m6A on mRNA. We find that m6A is a potent inducer of ribosome stalling, and these stalls lead to ribosome collisions that form a unique conformation unlike those seen in other contexts. We find that the degree of ribosome stalling correlates with m6A-mediated mRNA degradation, and increasing the persistence of collided ribosomes correlates with enhanced m6A-mediated mRNA degradation. Ribosome stalling and collision at m6A is followed by recruitment of YTHDF m6A reader proteins to promote mRNA degradation. We show that mechanisms that reduce ribosome stalling and collisions, such as translation suppression during stress, stabilize m6A-mRNAs and increase their abundance, enabling stress responses. Overall, our study reveals the ribosome as the initial m6A sensor for beginning m6A-mRNA degradation.

Sensing of individual stalled 80S ribosomes by Fap1 for non-functional rRNA turnover. Li et al

Project description:Cells can respond to stalled ribosomes by sensing ribosome collisions and employing quality control pathways. How ribosome stalling is resolved without collisions, however, has remained elusive. Here, focusing on non-colliding stalling exhibited by decoding-defective ribosomes, we identified Fap1 as a stalling sensor triggering 18S non-functional rRNA decay via poly-ubiquitination of uS3. Ribosome profiling revealed an enrichment of Fap1 at the translation initiation site but also association with elongating individual ribosomes. Cryo-EM structures of Fap1-bound ribosomes elucidated Fap1 probing the mRNA simultaneously at both the entry and exit channels suggesting a mRNA stasis sensing activity, and Fap1 sterically hinders formation of canonical collided di-ribosomes. Our findings indicate that individual stalled ribosomes are the potential signal for ribosome dysfunction, leading to accelerated turnover of the ribosome itself.

Ribosome collisions trigger subunit splitting in E. coli

Project description:Although many clinically important antibiotics inhibit bacterial ribosomes, the mechanisms by which bacterial cells rescue ribosomes stalled by antibiotics remain poorly understood. Ribosome stalling leads to collisions that recruit ribosome quality control (RQC) factors that recycle the ribosome subunits and target nascent proteins for degradation. Surprisingly, loss of known RQC factors in E. coli does not lead to significant antibiotic sensitivity, even though antibiotics stall ribosomes and induce collisions, suggesting the existence of additional, uncharacterized RQC mechanisms. Here we report a novel mechanism for ribosome quality control (RQC) in bacteria in which the DExH-box ATPase HrpA splits stalled ribosomes into subunits. HrpA selectively acts on collided ribosomes and its activity is dependent on ATP hydrolysis. The cryo-EM structure of HrpA bound to collided ribosomes reveals insight into its selectivity and mechanism: the C-terminal domain of HrpA senses the collision and its helicase domain bind mRNA downstream of the ribosomes, where it likely exerts a pulling force that destabilizes the stalled ribosome. These studies highlight the importance of ribosome splitting as a highly conserved RQC mechanism across all three domains of life and identify an important pathway in proteobacteria that allows proteobacteria to tolerate ribosome-targeting antibiotics.

Bump-finder: identification of causal codons to the stalling of ribosomes

Project description:Stalling of the ribosomes on the mRNA has been linked to myriad of molecular and biological functions. While a multitude of algorithms predict codon-usage in ribosome profiling data, no tool exists to predict the context-specific stalling of ribosomes on transcripts. Combining these two features can reveal unprecedented insights in the ribosomal function and their usage across cells and conditions. To overcome this lack of tools to comprehensively analyze these features, we created Bumpfinder, a web-server, that provides comprehensive analytical details on differences in total ribosome occupancy on transcripts, ribosomal occupancy across codons, ribosome-stalling and the underlying causal amino-acids/codons, as well as collisions. Employing Bumpfinder on generated and publicly available ribosome-profiling datasets, we studied the response of various cell types to amino-acid starvation conditions. We observed interesting patterns in response to the biological effects, suggesting the impact of quality control mechanisms of protein synthesis. Complimentary analysis of collided ribosomes demonstrated phased ribosome stalling on the identified sites. Thus, by deciphering context-specific ribosome distribution, Bumpfinder provides unprecedented molecular insights in the ribosome function and mRNA translation during stress response conditions.

Ribosome collisions trigger cis-acting feedback inhibition of translation initiation

Project description:Translation of aberrant mRNAs can cause ribosomes to stall, leading to collisions with trailing ribosomes. Collided ribosomes are specifically recognized by ZNF598 to initiate protein and mRNA quality control pathways. Here we found using quantitative proteomics of collided ribosomes that EDF1 is a ZNF598-independent sensor of ribosome collisions. EDF1 recruits and stabilizes GIGYF2 at collisions to inhibit translation initiation in cis via 4EHP. The GIGYF2 axis acts independently of the ZNF598 axis, but each pathway’s output is more pronounced without the other. We propose that the widely conserved and highly abundant EDF1 monitors the transcriptome for excessive ribosome density, then triggers a GIGYF2-mediated response to locally and temporarily reduce ribosome loading. Only when collisions persist is translation abandoned to initiate ZNF598-dependent quality control. This tiered response to ribosome collisions would allow cells to dynamically tune translation rates while ensuring fidelity of the resulting protein products.

Ribosome collisions in bacteria promote ribosome rescue by triggering mRNA cleavage by SmrB

Project description:Ribosome rescue pathways recycle stalled ribosomes and target problematic mRNAs and aborted proteins for degradation. In bacteria, it remains unclear how rescue pathways distinguish ribosomes stalled in the middle of a transcript from actively translating ribosomes. In a genetic screen in E. coli, we discovered a novel rescue factor that has endonuclease activity. SmrB cleaves mRNAs upstream of stalled ribosomes, allowing the ribosome rescue factor tmRNA (which acts on truncated mRNA) to rescue upstream ribosomes. SmrB is recruited by ribosome collisions. Cryo-EM structures of collided disomes from E. coli and B. subtilis reveal interactions between the 30S subunits and a possible SmrB binding site. These findings show that ribosome collisions trigger ribosome rescue in bacteria and reveal the mechanism by which this occurs.

RQT complex dissociates ribosomes collided on endogenous RQC substrate SDD1

Project description:Ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) represents a rescue pathway in eukaryotic cells triggered upon translational stalling. Collided ribosomes are recognized for subsequent dissociation followed by degradation of nascent peptides. However, endogenous RQC-inducing sequences and the mechanism underlying the ubiquitin-dependent ribosome dissociation remain poorly understood. Here, we identified the SDD1 mRNA from S. cerevisiae as an endogenous RQC substrate and reveal its mRNA and nascent peptide dependent stalling mechanism by mutational and cryo-EM analyses. In vitro translation of SDD1 mRNA enabled the reconstitution of Hel2-dependent poly-ubiquitination of collided di- and preferentially tri-ribosomes. Distinct trisome architecture was visualized by cryo-EM and provides the structural basis for more efficient recognition by Hel2 over disomes. Subsequently, the Slh1 helicase subunit of the RQC trigger (RQT) complex preferentially dissociates the first stalled poly-ubiquitinated ribosome in an ATP-dependent manner. Together, these findings provide fundamental mechanistic insights into RQC and its physiological role in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis.

ZAK activation on colliding ribosomes triggers SAPK signaling pathways to regulate cell fate

Project description:Problems arising during translation of mRNAs lead to ribosome stalling and collisions with trailing ribosomes. These collisions are known to trigger a series of events including degradation of the stalled nascent polypeptide, decay of the problematic mRNAs, and ribosome rescue. However, the systemic cellular response of ribosome collision has not been explored. Here, we uncover a novel function for ribosome collisions in signal transduction. Using multiple translation elongation inhibitors and cellular stress conditions, we show that ribosome collisions activate both the SAPK (Stress Activated Protein Kinase) and GCN2-mediated cellular stress response pathways that lead to apoptosis and the integrated stress response (ISR), respectively. We further show that the MAPKKK ZAK functions as the sentinel for ribosome collisions, and ZAK is required for activation of both SAPKs p38/JNK and GCN2 signaling pathways. Selective ribosome profiling and biochemistry demonstrate that ZAK preferentially associates with the minimal unit of colliding ribosomes, the disome, inducing ZAK phosphorylation. While ZAK associates with elongating ribosomes under non-stressed conditions, activation of ZAK is specifically trigger by colliding ribosomes. Together, these results provide new insights into how perturbation of translational homeostasis, as read-out by colliding ribosomes, regulates cell fate.

ALBA proteins facilitate cytoplasmic YTHDF-mediated reading of m6A in plants

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) exerts many of its regulatory effects on eukaryotic mRNAs by recruiting cytoplasmic YT521-B homology domain family (YTHDF) proteins. Here, we show that in Arabidopsis, the interaction between m6A and the major YTHDF protein ECT2 also involves the mRNA-binding ALBA protein family. ALBA and YTHDF proteins physically associate via a deeply conserved short linear motif in the intrinsically disordered region of YTHDF proteins, their mRNA targets overlap, and ALBA4 binding sites are juxtaposed to m6A sites. These binding sites correspond to pyrimidine-rich elements previously found to be important for m6A binding of ECT2. Accordingly, both biological effects of ECT2 and its binding to m6A targets in vivo require ALBA association. Our results introduce the YTHDF-ALBA complex as the functional cytoplasmic m6A-reader in plants and define a molecular foundation for the concept of facilitated m6A reading that increases the potential for combinatorial control of biological m6A effects.

Cue2 and Slh1 define parallel pathways to rescue stalled ribosomes

Project description:Ribosome stalling at problematic sequences in mRNAs leads to collisions that trigger a collection of quality control events including ribosome rescue, targeting the nascent polypeptide for decay (Ribosome-mediated Quality Control or RQC), and targeting of the mRNA for decay (No Go Decay or NGD). Using a reverse genetic screen in yeast, we identify Cue2 as the endonuclease that is recruited to stalled ribosomes to promote NGD. Following Cue2-mediated cleavage, ribosomes upstream of the cleavage site translate to the end of the truncated mRNA and are rescued by the Dom34:Hbs1 complex. We also show that the putative helicase Slh1 (part of the RQC Trigger or RQT complex) removes collided ribosomes behind the lead stalled ribosome and thereby reduces endonucleolytic cleavage by Cue2. The synergistic activities of Cue2 and Slh1 define two parallel pathways that allow cells to recognize and respond to ribosomes trapped on problematic mRNAs.
