Nascent chain misfolding slows translation and stimulates co-translational mRNA decay

ABSTRACT: Ribosome dynamics during mRNA translation elongation regulate mRNA stability. Yet, codon usage, a known regulator of ribosome transit, cannot fully explain transcriptome-wide decay rates. Here, we demonstrate that nascent polypeptide folding modulates elongation rates, with Zuotin (Zuo1) serving as an essential mediator. Using reporter constructs and RNA sequencing, we show that Zuo1 is essential for the selective destabilization of transcripts encoding co-translationally misfolded proteins. This process is independent of codon optimality but relies on co-translational mRNA decay factor Not5, which detects slowed ribosomes. Ribosome profiling reveals that global protein misfolding induces Zuo1-dependent ribosome stalling. 35S labeling confirms that nascent peptide misfolding directly slows elongating ribosomes in a Zuo1-dependent manner. These findings highlight Zuo1 as a pivotal mediator linking nascent peptide folding to ribosome dynamics and thereby mRNA stability, unveiling a novel mechanism of mRNA regulation driven by protein products. Furthermore, this work expands Not5’s role beyond codon optimality sensing.

Translation switch from initiation to elongation needs Not4 and Not5 collaboration

Project description:Not4 and Not5 are crucial components of the Ccr4-Not complex with pivotal functions in mRNA metabolism. Both associate with ribosomes but mechanistic insights on their function remain elusive. Here we determine that Not5 and Not4 synchronously impact translation initiation and Not5 alone alters translation elongation. Deletion of Not5 causes elongation defects in a codon-dependent fashion, increasing and decreasing the ribosome dwelling occupancy at minor and major codons respectively. This enhanced difference in codon translation velocities alters translation globally and enables normally kinetically unfavorable processes such as nascent chain deubiquitination to take place. In turn this leads to abortive translation and favors protein aggregation. These findings highlight the global impact of Not4 and Not5 in controlling the programmed local speed of mRNA translation.

Codon Pair-Specific Translation Defects Induce Ribosome-Associated Quality Control to Avoid Proteotoxic Stress [5P-seq]

Project description:tRNA modifications tune translation rates and codon optimality, thereby optimizing co-translational protein folding, but how codon optimality defects trigger cellular phenotypes remains unclear. Here, we show that ribosomes stall at specific modification-dependent codon pairs, triggering ribosome collisions and inducing a coordinated and hierarchical response of cellular quality control pathways. Ribosome profiling reveals an unexpected functional diversity for wobble-uridine (U34) modifications during decoding. The same modification can have different effects at the A and P sites. Furthermore, modification-dependent stalling codon pairs induce ribosome collisions, triggering ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) to prevent protein aggregation by degrading aberrant nascent peptides and mRNAs. RQC inactivation stimulates the expression of molecular chaperones to remove protein aggregates. Our results show that loss of tRNA modifications primarily disrupts translation rates of suboptimal codon pairs and reveal the coordinated regulation and adaptability of cellular surveillance systems to ensure efficient and accurate protein synthesis and maintain protein homeostasis.

The Ccr4-Not complex monitors the translating ribosome for codon optimality

Project description:Control of messenger RNA (mRNA) decay rate is intimately connected to translation elongation, but the spatial coordination of these events is poorly understood. The Ccr4-Not complex initiates mRNA decay through deadenylation and activation of decapping. We used a combination of cryo–electron microscopy, ribosome profiling, and mRNA stability assays to examine the recruitment of Ccr4-Not to the ribosome via specific interaction of the Not5 subunit with the ribosomal E-site in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This interaction occurred when the ribosome lacked accommodated A-site transfer RNA, indicative of low codon optimality. Loss of the interaction resulted in the inability of the mRNA degradation machinery to sense codon optimality. Our findings elucidate a physical link between the Ccr4-Not complex and the ribosome and provide mechanistic insight into the coupling of decoding efficiency with mRNA stability.

Ribosome profiling study of Dhh1p overexpression and the dhh1 knockout strain using monosome-protected footprints

Project description:A major determinant of mRNA half-life is the codon-dependent rate of translational elongation. How the processes of translational elongation and mRNA decay communicate is unclear. In this study we establish that the DEAD-box helicase Dhh1p is the sensor of codon optimality (i.e. translational elongation rate) that targets an mRNA for decay. First, we find that mRNAs whose translation elongation rate is slowed by inclusion of non-optimal codons are specifically degraded in a DHH1-dependent manner. Biochemical experiments show that Dhh1p is preferentially associated with mRNAs with suboptimal codon choice. We find that these effects on mRNA decay are sensitive to the number of slow moving ribosomes on an mRNA. Using a tethering system, we establish that non-optimal mRNAs become preferentially saturated with ribosomes when Dhh1p is bound. Moreover, over-expression of Dhh1p leads to the accumulation of ribosomes specifically on mRNAs with low codon optimality in ribosome profiling experiments. Lastly, Dhh1p physically interacts with ribosomes in vivo. Together, these data argue that Dhh1p is a sensor for ribosome speed, targeting an mRNA for repression and subsequent decay.

Structural proteomic analysis of folding intermediates of FLuc on the human ribosome

Project description:bRNC HDX-MS: Protein biogenesis begins on the ribosome where nascent chains are expressed vectorially from their N- to C-terminus, and start to fold as mRNA is translated. How the context of protein synthesis influences protein folding is poorly understood, especially in eukaryotes. Here we describe novel methods for the generation, purification and analysis of stable, homogeneous ribosome-bound nascent chain complexes from human cells, with the goal of defining the co-translational folding pathway of the nascent polypeptide. As a model for eukaryotic protein biogenesis, we focused on Firefly luciferase, a conformationally labile multidomain protein. Luciferase refolds slowly from denaturant, but folds rapidly in the context of translation on 80S ribosomes. Using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, crosslinking-mass spectrometry and cryo-electron microscopy, we show that the human ribosome holds nascent chains in a partially unfolded state during synthesis, avoiding interdomain misfolding. This is in contrast to orthogonal bacterial RNCs, which show an overall more folded structure during synthesis, alluding to the differences observed in productive folding between the two ribosomes. Surprisingly, cotranslational folding is not strictly unidirectional. On both ribosomes, C-domain synthesis partially reverses prior folding in the N-domain. Our work facilitates a detailed mechanistic understanding of how multidomain proteins fold efficiently in human cells.
