Mutant KRAS-Driven Selective mRNA Translation Reveals Mechanisms and Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Cancer

ABSTRACT: mRNA translation is highly regulated and rapidly controls the functional proteome in response to physiological cues in health and disease. Mutant KRAS signals to ERKs intersect with the mTOR and EIF4E-EIF4F complex, thereby influencing cap-dependent mRNA translation to promote tumorigenesis. With recent clinical advances in KRAS-targeted therapies, it is important to understand the changes in the mRNA translational landscape and its role in cellular adaptations in response to mutant KRAS-targeted therapies. We discover that mutant KRAS controls the translation of a subset of mRNAs and affects the protein production of the translation apparatus. Interestingly, these specific subsets of mRNAs have short, weakly folded 5’UTRs, or harbor low folding energy consensus RNA sequences. This mutant KRAS-dependent mechanism differs from mTOR and EIF4E-EIF4F regulation, which governs cap-dependent translation of mRNAs with highly structured, GC-rich 5' UTRs or TOP motifs. Our findings clarify the unique and indispensable role of mutant KRAS in regulating mRNA translation, distinctly setting it apart from the mTOR and EIF4E-EIF4A-dependent mechanism. Our findings uncover a novel mechanism by which mutant KRAS selectively uncouples the mRNA translation of the translation machinery from the broader mRNA pool, redefining our understanding of the oncogenic regulation of mRNA translation in cancer.

nanoCAGE reveals 5â UTR features that define specific modes of translation of functionally related mTOR-sensitive mRNAs

Project description:mTOR regulates mRNA translation. Whereas ribosome-profiling suggested that mTOR exclusively stimulates translation of TOP (containing a 5â-terminal oligopyrimidine [5âTOP] motif) and TOP-like mRNAs, polysome-profiling implied that mTOR also modulates translation of non-TOP mRNAs. We show that ribosome-, but not polysome-profiling, is biased towards identification of TOP mRNAs as differentially translated while obscuring detection of changes in non-TOP mRNA translation. Transcription start site profiling by Nano-Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (nanoCAGE) revealed that many mTOR-sensitive mRNAs do not have 5âTOP motifs. Moreover, nanoCAGE showed that 5â UTR features distinguish two functionally and translationally distinct subsets of mTOR-sensitive mRNAs: i) those with short 5â UTRs enriched for mitochondrial functions such as respiration, that are translated in an eIF4E, but not eIF4A1-dependent manner and ii) mRNAs encoding proliferation- and survival-promoting proteins, that harbor long 5â UTRs, and require both eIF4E and eIF4A1 for their efficient translation. Selective inhibition of translation of mRNAs harboring long 5â UTRs via suppression of eIF4A leads to uncoupling of expression of proteins involved in respiration (e.g. ATP5O) from those protecting mitochondrial integrity (e.g. BCL-2) ultimately resulting in apoptosis. Conversely, simultaneous translational downregulation of both long and short 5â UTR mRNAs by mTOR inhibitors results in suppression of mitochondrial respiration and predominantly cytostatic effects. Therefore, 5â UTR features define differential modes of translation of functionally distinct mTOR-sensitive mRNAs, which explains discrepancies between the effects of mTOR and eIF4A inhibitors on neoplastic cells.

nanoCAGE reveals 5’ UTR features that define specific modes of translation of functionally related mTOR-sensitive mRNAs

Project description:mTOR regulates mRNA translation.

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.

Characterization of human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum eIF4E homologue and mRNA 5â² cap status

Project description:The mRNA 5â² cap is normally essential for eukaryotic mRNA translation, stabilization and transport and both the cap and eIF4E are important elements of post-transcriptional gene regulation. To further our understanding of mRNA translation in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, we have investigated the parasite translation initiation factor eIF4E and its interaction with 5â² capped mRNA. We have purified P. falciparum eIF4E as a recombinant protein and demonstrated that it has canonical mRNA 5â² cap binding activity. We used this protein to purify P. falciparum full-length 5â² capped mRNAs from total parasite RNA. Microarray analysis comparing total and eIF4E-purified 5â² capped mRNAs shows that a subset of 34 features were more than two-fold under-represented in the purified RNA sample, including 19 features representative of nuclear transcripts. The uncapped nuclear transcripts may represent a class of mRNAs targeted for storage and cap removal. Keywords: total RNA vs purified capped mRNA The microarray data were obtained from four hybridizations using RNA from two independent GST-PfeIF4E purifications from separate malaria cultures.

Scope and mechanism of eIF4F-independent mRNA translation

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis typically begins with the binding of eIF4F to the 7-methylguanylate (m7G)cap found on the 5’ end of the majority of mRNAs. Surprisingly, overall translational output remains robust under eIF4F inhibition. The sustained protein synthesis has been largely attributed to cap-independent translation mediated by internal ribosome entry sites (IRES). However, the IRES-driven translation is substrate-specific and largely incompatible with the broad spectrum of eIF4F-resistant translatomes.Here, we report that N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-mediated translation prevails on capped mRNAs and is resistant to eIF4F inactivation.Depletion of the methyltransferase METTL3 selectively inhibits translation of mRNAs bearing 5’UTR methylation, but not mRNAs with 5’ terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) elements. Mechanistically, we identify ABCF1 as a critical mediator of m6A-promoted translation under both stress and physiological conditions. Supporting the role of ABCF1 in m6A-mediated cap-independent translation, ABCF1-sensitive transcripts largely overlap with METTL3-responsible mRNA targets. By illustrating the scope and the mechanism of translation initiation that is neither cap- nor IRES-dependent, these findingsreshape our current perceptions of cellular translational pathways

Transcriptional and translational effect of the lack of translation initiation factor eIF(iso)4E

Project description:One of the most regulated steps of translation initiation is the recruitment of an mRNA by the translation machinery. In eukaryotes, this step is mediated by the 5M-BM-4end cap-binding factor eIF4E bound to the bridge protein eIF4G and forming the eIF4F complex. In plants, different isoforms of eIF4E and eIF4G form the antigenically distinct eIF4F and eIF(iso)4F complexes proposed to mediate selective translation. Using a microarray analysis of polyribosome- and non-polyribosome-purified mRNAs from 15 day-old Arabidopsis thaliana wild type [WT] and eIF(iso)4E knockout mutant [AteIF(iso)4E-1] seedlings we found 79 transcripts shifted from polyribosomes toward non-polyribosomes, and 47 mRNAs with the opposite behavior in the mutant. The translationally decreased mRNAs were overrepresented in root-preferentially expressed genes and proteins from the endomembrane system, including several transporters such as the phosphate transporter PHOSPHATE1 (PHO1), Sucrose transporter 3 (SUC3), the ABC transporter-like with ATPase activity (MRP11) and five electron transporters, as well as signal transduction-, protein modification- and transcription-related proteins. For transcriptional analysis used total RNA of AteIF(iso)4E-1 seedlings of 15 days old to known the changes on transcripts leves by the eIF(iso)4E absence, using as control Wt seedlings. The experiments were performed in duplicate, and swap analysis were done. For translational analysis, used non-polysomal and polysomal RNA of AteIF(iso)4E-1 seedlings of 15 days old in order to known the transcripts that are modified in their translational levels by the eIF(iso)4E absence, using as control non polysomal and polysomal RNA of Wt seddlings.

Characterization of human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum eIF4E homologue and mRNA 5′ cap status

Project description:The mRNA 5′ cap is normally essential for eukaryotic mRNA translation, stabilization and transport and both the cap and eIF4E are important elements of post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Two distinct Trypanosoma eIF4F complexes co-exist, bind different mRNAs and are regulated during nutritional stress

Project description:Many eIF4F subunits and PABP paralogues are found in trypanosomes: six eIF4E, five eIF4G, one eIF4A and two PABPs. They are expressed simultaneously and assemble into different complexes, contrasting the situation in metazoans that use distinct complexes in different cell types or developmental stages. Each eIF4F complex has its own proteins, mRNAs and, consequently, a distinct function. We set out to study the function and regulation of the two major eIF4F complexes of Trypanosoma cruzi. We identified the associated proteins and mRNAs of eIF4E3 and eIF4E4 in cells in exponential growth and in nutritional stress. Upon stress, eIF4G/eIF4A and PABP remain associated to the eIF4E, but the association with other 43S pre-initiation factors decreases, indicating that ribosome attachment is impaired. Most eIF4E3-associated mRNAs encode for metabolic proteins, while eIF4E4 associate to mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins. Interestingly, for both eIF4E3/4, more mRNAs were associated in stressed cells than in non-stressed cells, even though these mRNAs have lower translational efficiencies in stress. In summary, trypanosomes have two co-existing eIF4F complexes involved in translation of distinct mRNA cohorts important for growth. Under stress conditions, both complexes exit translation but remain bound to their mRNA targets.

The identification of phosphorylation sites of IBTK by shotgun proteomics

Project description:Translation is a tightly regulated process, and the mTORC1-S6K signaling axis plays a critical role in this control. Binding of eIF4F to the cap is hindered by eIF4E binding proteins (4EBPs), which, when hypophosphorylated, sequester eIF4E and prevent its association with eIF4G. However, in response to positive stimuli such as growth factors, mitogens, and amino acids, mTORC1 phosphorylates 4EBPs and relieves this inhibition, allowing the formation of eIF4F and subsequent initiation of translation. We are interested to know whether IBTK-mediated eIF4A1 ubiquitination is regulated by mTORC1/S6K signaling. Indeed, quantitative phosphoproteomics studies revealed that several IBTK phosphorylation sites are markedly downregulated by treatment of mTOR inhibitor, Rapamycin or Torin 1. Thus, probable phosphorylation sites of IBTK were identified by MS analysis.
