The ribosome synchronizes folding and assembly to promote oligomeric protein biogenesis

ABSTRACT: Natural proteins are structurally diverse and often form intricate multidomain, oligomeric architectures. This presents a prima facie challenge to cellular homeostasis, as topologically complex proteins seldom refold efficiently in vitro. How cells overcome sequence-intrinsic folding limitations to optimize protein biogenesis is incompletely understood. Here, we show that efficient folding and assembly of a model 5-domain homotetramer is obligatorily coupled to its synthesis on the ribosome, and define the underlying mechanisms. During refolding of full-length protein from denaturant, maturation of the catalytic TIM barrel domain is frustrated. Assembly outpaces monomer folding, and non-native oligomers accumulate. The ribosome directs the order of folding events and specifies the pathway of oligomer assembly. Efficient de novo folding is characterised by segmental folding of the TIM barrel, shaped by binding of a nascent amphipathic helix to a cryptic pocket on the ribosome surface. Homomer assembly initiates cotranslationally via recruitment of a full-length subunit to the nascent polypeptide, and the failure to do so results in misassembly. Our results reveal how the ribosome can dictate the timing of folding and assembly to enable efficient biogenesis of a topologically complex protein.

Identification of the modifications in artificial E. coli rRNAs

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis is pivotal in the self-replication of life. In Escherichia coli, three ribosomal RNAs and 54 ribosomal proteins are synthesized and subjected to cooperative hierarchical assembly facilitated by numerous accessory factors. Realizing ribosome biogenesis in vitro is a critical milestone for understanding the self-replication of life and creating artificial cells. Despite its importance, this goal has not yet been achieved owing to its complexity. In this study, we report the successful realization of ribosome biogenesis in vitro. Specifically, we developed a highly specific and sensitive reporter assay for the detection of nascent ribosomes. The reporter assay allowed for combinatorial and iterative exploration of reaction conditions for ribosome biogenesis, leading to the simultaneous, autonomous synthesis of both small and large subunits of ribosomes in vitro through transcription, translation, processing, and assembly in a single reaction space. Our achievement represents a crucial advancement toward revealing the fundamental principles underlying the self-replication of life and creating artificial cells.

Selective ribosome profiling reveals the co-translational chaperone action of trigger factor in vivo

Project description:As nascent polypeptides exit ribosomes, they are engaged by a series of processing, targeting and folding factors. Here we present a selective ribosome profiling strategy that enables global monitoring of when these factors engage polypeptides in the complex cellular environment. Studies of the Escherichia coli chaperone Trigger Factor (TF) reveal that, while TF can interact with many polypeptides, Î²-barrel outer membrane proteins are the most prominent substrates. Loss of TF leads to broad outer membrane defects and premature, cotranslational protein translocation. While in vitro studies suggested that TF is prebound to ribosomes waiting for polypeptides to emerge from the exit channel, we find that in vivo TF engages ribosomes only after ~100 amino acids are translated. Moreover, excess TF interferes with cotranslational removal of the N-terminal formyl methionine. Our studies support a triaging model in which proper protein biogenesis relies on the fine-tuned, sequential engagement of processing, targeting ad folding factors. Examination of translation in the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, as well as an analysis of the interactions between nascent chains and the molecular chaperone Trigger Factor.

Co-translational ribosome pairing enables native assembly of misfolding-prone subunits

Project description:Protein complexes are pivotal to most cellular processes. Emerging evidence indicates that pairs of ribosomes ubiquitously drive the synchronized synthesis and assembly of two protein subunits into homodimeric complexes1-5. These observations suggest protein folding mechanisms of general importance enabled by contacts between nascent chains6,7 – which have thus far rather been considered detrimental8,9. However, owing to their dynamic and heterogeneous nature, the folding of interacting nascent chains remains unexplored. Here, we show that co-translational ribosome pairing allows their nascent chains to ‘chaperone each other’, thus enabling the formation of coiled-coil homodimers from subunits that misfold individually. We developed an integrated single-molecule fluorescence and force spectroscopy approach to probe the folding and assembly of two nascent chains extending from nearby ribosomes, using the intermediate filament lamin as a model system. Ribosome proximity in early translation stages was found to be critical: when interactions between nascent chains are inhibited or delayed, they become trapped in stable misfolded states that are no longer assembly-competent. Conversely, early interactions allow the two nascent chains to nucleate native-like quaternary structures that grow in size and stability as translation advances. We conjecture that protein folding mechanisms enabled by ribosome cooperation are more broadly relevant to intermediate filaments and other protein classes.

Analysis of stalled ribosome-nascent chain complexes by quantitative proteomics

Project description:The cellular environment is critical for efficient protein maturation, but how proteins fold during biogenesis remains poorly understood. To understand how the cellular environment modulates folding, we studied the cotranslational chaperone-assisted folding of Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). To sample folding intermediates along the pathway of vectorial synthesis, we prepared a series of stalled ribosome:nascent chain complexes (RNCs) representing snapshots of DHFR folding in vivo. Proteomic analysis of RNCs revealed their composition and allowed us to define chaperone interactions as a function of NC length. These data set the stage for further studies aimed at resolving the conformation of the nascent polypeptide on the ribosome.

H/ACA snR30 snoRNP guides independent 18S rRNA subdomain formation – Dataset 3

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis follows a hierarchical set of pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-RNA) folding and processing steps. The earliest, biochemically stable pre-ribosome is the 90S particle, which is assembled co-transcriptionally in the nucleolus. It is unclear how pre-rRNA, ribosomal proteins and assembly factors play together in the early stages of 90S maturation. Is has remained unclear, how the numerous snoRNAs, which guide pre-rRNA modification and folding while the nascent rRNA is flexible and hence accessible, are involved in pre-ribosomal maturation. Here, we identify the conserved C-terminus of assembly factor Krr1 as crucial for efficient release of the essential snR30. Furthermore, we show that snR30 is bound to the central domain of the 18S rRNA within a complex that contains assembly factors and ribosomal proteins. Our study shows how independent 18S domain maturation is guided by snR30 in coupling rRNA chaperoning with the delivery of ribosomal proteins.

Selective ribosome profiling reveals the co-translational chaperone action of trigger factor in vivo

Project description:As nascent polypeptides exit ribosomes, they are engaged by a series of processing, targeting and folding factors. Here we present a selective ribosome profiling strategy that enables global monitoring of when these factors engage polypeptides in the complex cellular environment. Studies of the Escherichia coli chaperone Trigger Factor (TF) reveal that, while TF can interact with many polypeptides, β-barrel outer membrane proteins are the most prominent substrates. Loss of TF leads to broad outer membrane defects and premature, cotranslational protein translocation. While in vitro studies suggested that TF is prebound to ribosomes waiting for polypeptides to emerge from the exit channel, we find that in vivo TF engages ribosomes only after ~100 amino acids are translated.

Resolving chaperone-assisted protein folding on the ribosome at the peptide level

Project description:The cellular environment is critical for efficient protein maturation, but how proteins fold during biogenesis remains poorly understood. We used hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry (MS) to define, at peptide resolution, the cotranslational chaperone-assisted folding pathway of Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase. On the ribosome, the nascent polypeptide folds via structured intermediates not populated during refolding from denaturant. Association with the ribosome allows these intermediates to form, as otherwise destabilizing C-terminal sequences remain confined in the ribosome exit tunnel. We find that partially-folded nascent chains recruit the chaperone Trigger factor, which uses a large composite hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface to engage folding intermediates without disrupting their structure. In addition, we comprehensively mapped dynamic interactions between the nascent chain and ribosomal proteins, tracing the path of the emerging polypeptide during synthesis. Our work provides a high-resolution description of de novo protein folding dynamics, thereby revealing new mechanisms by which cellular factors shape the conformational search for the native state.
