EIF3g binding to GUCG boxes spread in mRNA coding regions mediates translational heat shock response


ABSTRACT: Heat shock response (HSR) is crucial for life’s adaptation to heat. Here, we discovered a novel mechanism of HSR controlled at the translational level, which depends on the multi-subunit translation initiation factor, eIF3. The cis-element for this regulation is called GUCG box and occurs degenerately within protein-coding regions of regulated mRNAs. Being positioned at ribosome leading-edge through -propeller subunit eIF3i, the RNA-binding subunit eIF3g binds the motif and stabilizes mRNA anchoring during translation under mild heat. The eIF3g/i-regulated HSR consists of 64 genes including heat shock protein genes, engaging a quarter of the cellular ribosomes. The 5’-terminal coding regions of the HSR mRNAs are enriched with more GUCG boxes, some of which are masked by weak secondary structures. This arrangement enables eIF3g/i-dependent enhancement in part through melting inhibitory secondary structures. GUCG boxes spread evenly across the entire protein-coding regions of strongly translated mRNAs ~20 nt. apart, as if to prevent ribosome collision. Thus, eIF3 not only stabilizes initiating ribosomes at its leading-edge but may contribute to anchoring elongating ribosomes throughout coding regions under heat insult.
