The stringent response does not influence ribosome pausing in Bacillus subtilis [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The stringent response represses translation and is activated when amino acid levels drop, for example during the stationary phase. Bacillus subtilis, a well-known industrial enzyme production organism, secretes most enzymes during the stationary phase. We were curious whether the stringent response affects ribosome pausing, and whether its absence improves protein production yields in the stationary phase. To investigate this, genome-wide ribosome profiling was used using a stringent response mutant that overexpressed the α-amylase AmyM. Although, blocking the stringent response did increases overall protein synthesis, the secretion of AmyM was actually reduced. The ribosome profiling data revealed that this was not caused by a reduction in translation. In fact, absence of the stringent response did not seem to markedly influence ribosome pausing. However, late in stationary phase an increased ribosome pausing at tryptophane codons emerges, suggesting a depletion of tryptophane. A strong suppression of tryptophane biosynthesis and acquisition genes, under control of the trp RNA-binding attenuation protein TRAP, likely accounts for this, although TRAP does not belong to the stringent response regulon of B. subtilis. Finally, the ribosome profiles revealed several genes with unusually low translation activities, illustrating the importance of translation initiation as a regulatory element of expression.

Ribosome profiling reveals conserved guanosine residues at ribosome pausing sites in Bacillus subtilis [Ribo-seq]

Project description:Ribosome pausing slows down translation and can affect protein synthesis. Improving translation efficiency can therefore be of commercial value. Here, we investigated the occurrence of ribosome pausing during amylase secretion by the industrial production organism Bacillus subtilis under semi fed-batch fermentation conditions. We first assessed our ribosome profiling setup by inducing ribosome stalling at isoleucine codons using the antibiotic mupirocin, and found a pause preference for isoleucine codons preceded by E and P site codons with guanosine residues in their first nucleotide position. Interestingly, when we applied standard ribosomal profiling conditions we found again an enrichment of guanosine residues in the E and P site of ribosome pause sites, but this time also upstream of the ribosome pause site. This sequence motif deviates from previously described ribosome pausing motifs. For the highly expressed amylase gene amyM several strong ribosome pausing sites were detected, which remained present during the 64-hour long fermentation, and were neither related to rare codons nor to secondary protein structures. When surveying the genome, an interesting finding was the presence of strong ribosome pausing sites in several toxins genes. These potential ribosome stall sites may function in preventing inadvertent activity in the cytosol.

Termination factor Rho mediates transcriptional reprogramming of Bacillus subtilis stationary phase

Project description:Here, we described comparative transcriptomic analysis of B. subtilis strain stably expressing rho with the wild type and rho-deficient strains. We show that maintaining a stable Rho level caused global changes of B. subtilis transcriptome including both strong down-regulation of the antisense transcription and considerable modifications of the sense transcription. The observed changes were more noticeable upon entering the stationary phase and comprised majority of genes controlled by global transcription regulators AbrB and CodY, competence transcription factor ComK, and stringent response. Constitutively expressed rho reprograms stationary phase-specific cellular physiology, affects adaptation of cells to nutrient limitations by attenuating the stringent response and alters cell-fate decision-making to such an extent that it blocks competence development and sporulation.

A Serine Sensor for Multicellularity in a Bacterium

Project description:We report the discovery of a simple environmental sensing mechanism for biofilm formation in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis that operates without the involvement of a dedicated RNA or protein. Certain serine codons, the four UCN codons, in the gene for the biofilm repressor SinR caused a lowering of SinR levels under biofilm-inducing conditions. Synonymous substitutions of these UCN codons with AGC or AGU impaired biofilm formation and gene expression. Conversely, switching AGC or AGU to UCN codons upregulated biofilm formation. Genome-wide ribosome profiling showed that ribosomes paused longer at UCN codons than at AGC or AGU during biofilm formation. Serine starvation recapitulated the effect of biofilm-inducing conditions on ribosome pausing and SinR production. As serine is one of the first amino acids to be exhausted at the end of exponential phase growth, ribosome pausing at serine codons may be exploited by other microbes in adapting to stationary phase. 4 samples for ribosome profiling and 2 samples for total mRNA profiling

Inactivation of the conserved protease LonA increases production of xylanase and amylase in Bacillus subtilis

Project description:In a previous study we used RNA-seq to identify cellular stresses related to the overexpression of xylanase XynA, and found that upregulation of the CtsR regulon improves the yield of XynA production in B. subtilis. In this study, we compared the transcriptomes of B. subtilis cells overexpressing either the xylanase XynA or the heterologous amylase AmyM, to identify general and enzyme-specific stress responses. In addition, we further compared the translational profiles of cells overexpressing XynA and AmyM using ribosome profiling.

Suppressor mutations in ribosomal proteins and FliY restore Bacillus subtilis swarming motility in the absence of EF-P [Ribosome Profiling]

Project description:Translation elongation factor P (EF-P) alleviates ribosome pausing at a subset of motifs encoding consecutive proline residues and is required for growth in many organisms. Here we show that Bacillus subtilis EF-P also alleviated ribosome pausing at sequences encoding tandem prolines, and ribosomes paused within several essential genes without a corresponding growth defect in an efp mutant. The B. subtilis efp mutant is instead impaired for flagellar biosynthesis which results in the abrogation of a form of motility called swarming. We isolate swarming suppressors of efp and identify mutations in 8 genes that suppressed the efp mutant swarming defect, many of which encode conserved ribosomal proteins or ribosome-associated factors. One mutation abolished a translational pause site within the flagellar C-ring component FliY to increase flagellar number and restore swarming motility in the absence of EF-P. Our data support a model wherein EF-P-alleviation of ribosome pausing may be particularly important for macromolecular assemblies like the flagellum that require precise protein stoichiometries.

Translational control through differential ribosome pausing during amino acid limitation in mammalian cells

Project description:Limitation for amino acids is thought to regulate translation in mammalian cells primarily by signaling through the kinases mTORC1 and GCN2. We find that limitation for the amino acid arginine causes a selective loss of tRNA charging, which regulates translation through ribosome pausing at two of six arginine codons. Interestingly, limitation for leucine, an essential and abundant amino acid in protein, results in little or no ribosome pausing. Chemical and genetic perturbation of mTORC1 and GCN2 signaling revealed that their robust response to leucine limitation prevents ribosome pausing, while an insufficient response to arginine limitation led to loss of arginine tRNA charging and ribosome pausing. Codon-specific ribosome pausing decreased protein production and triggered premature ribosome termination without significantly reducing mRNA levels. Together, our results suggest that amino acids which are not optimally sensed by the mTORC1 and GCN2 pathways still regulate translation through an evolutionarily conserved mechanism based on synonymous codon usage.
