EOLA1, a novel mitochondria-localized protein critical for heart functions via regulating mitochondrial translation

ABSTRACT: Mitochondria has its own mRNA translation system, which is mediated by mitochondria-specific protein synthesis machinery – ‘mitoribosomes’. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts the metabolic homeostasis and has been implicated in pathologies including metabolic syndromes, neurological disorders and cardiac diseases. Here, we identify that EOLA1 (Endothelium and lymphocyte associated ASCH domain 1) as a novel mitochondrial protein and exclusively localizes to mitochondria matrix. We further show that knockout of EOLA1 dramatically affects mitochondrial translation and subsequently the oxidative phosphorylation in mammalian cells. Mechanistically, EOLA1 interacts with mt-rRNA (mitochondrial ribosomal RNA) and EFTU, which maintains the translation elongation of mitochondrial mRNAs. Importantly, we generated a Eola1 knocked-out mice model and found that heart functions are obviously abnormal upon depletion of EOLA1 homolog in mouse, implying that EOLA1 are important for proper functions of heart via regulating mitochondrial translation. Taken together, our work demonstrates that EOLA1 is a novel regulator for mt-RNA and mitochondrial translation.

Deficiency of mitoribosomal S10 protein affects translation and splicing in Arabidopsis mitochondria

Project description:The ribosome is not only a protein-making machine, but also a regulatory element in protein synthesis. This view is supported by our earlier data showing that Arabidopsis mitoribosomes altered due to the silencing of the nuclear RPS10 gene encoding mitochondrial ribosomal protein S10 differentially translate mitochondrial transcripts compared with the wild-type. Here, we used ribosome profiling to determine the contribution of transcriptional and translational control in the regulation of protein synthesis in rps10 mitochondria compared with the wild-type ones. Oxidative phosphorylation system proteins are preferentially synthesized in wild-type mitochondria but this feature is lost in the mutant. The rps10 mitoribosomes show slightly reduced translation efficiency of most respiration-related proteins and at the same time markedly more efficiently synthesize ribosomal proteins and MatR and TatC proteins. The mitoribosomes deficient in S10 protein protect shorter transcript fragments which exhibit a weaker 3-nucleotide periodicity compared with the wild-type. The decrease in the triplet periodicity is particularly drastic for genes containing introns. Notably, splicing is considerably less effective in the mutant, indicating an unexpected link between the deficiency of S10 and mitochondrial splicing. Thus, a shortage of the mitoribosomal S10 protein has wide-ranging consequences on mitochondrial gene expression.

GTPBP8 is essential for mitoribosome formation in human mitochondria

Project description:Mitochondrial gene expression relies on mitoribosomes to translate mitochondrial mRNAs. The biogenesis of mitoribosomes is an intricate process involving multiple assembly factors. Among these factors, GTP-binding proteins (GTPBPs) play crucial roles. In bacterial systems, numerous GTPBPs are required for ribosome subunit maturation, with EngB being a GTPBP involved in the ribosomal large subunit assembly. In this study, we focused on exploring the function of GTPBP8, the human homolog of EngB. We found that ablation of GTPBP8 leads to the inhibition of mitochondrial translation, resulting in significant impairment of oxidative phosphorylation. Structural analysis of mitoribosomes from GTPBP8 knock-out cells showed the accumulation of mitoribosomal large subunit assembly intermediates that are incapable of forming functional monosomes. Furthermore, fPAR-CLIP analysis revealed that GTPBP8 is an RNA-binding protein that interacts specifically with the mitochondrial ribosome large subunit16S rRNA. Our study highlights the crucial role of GTPBP8 as a component of the mitochondrial gene expression machinery involved in mitochondrial large subunit maturation.

In the absence of GTPBP8, numerous mitoribosomal proteins from both subunits become destabilized, indicating GTPBP8's involvement in synchronized subunit assembly. Furthermore, structural analysis of mitoribosomes from GTPBP8 knock-out cells showed the accumulation of mitoribosomal large subunit assembly intermediates that are incapable of forming functional monosomes. Our study highlights the crucial role of GTPBP8 as a component of the mitochondrial gene expression machinery involved in mitoribosome biogenesis.

Distinct roles for human mtIF2 and mtIF3 in non-canonical mitochondrial translation.

Project description:The synthesis of mitochondrial OXPHOS complexes is central to cellular metabolism, yet many molecular details of mitochondrial translation remain elusive. It is commonly held view that translation initiation in human mitochondria proceeded in a manner similar to bacterial systems, with the mitoribosomal small subunit bound to the initiation factors, mtIF2 and mtIF3, along with initiator tRNA and an mRNA. However, unlike in bacteria, most human mitochondrial mRNAs lack 5′ leader sequences that can mediate small subunit binding, raising the question of how leaderless mRNAs are recognized by mitoribosomes. By using novel in vitro mitochondrial translation initiation assays, alongside biochemical and genetic characterization of cellular knockouts of mitochondrial translation factors, we describe unique features of translation initiation in human mitochondria. We show that in vitro, leaderless mRNA transcripts can be loaded directly onto assembled 55S mitoribosomes, but not onto the mitoribosomal small subunit (28S). In addition, we demonstrate that while mtIF2 is indispensable for mitochondrial translation, mtIF3 activity is not required for translation of leaderless mitochondrial transcripts but is essential for translation of ATP6 in the case of the bicistronic ATP8/ATP6 transcript. Our results confirm important evolutionary divergences of the mitochondrial translation system, and further our understanding of a process central to eukaryotic metabolism.

Translational activators align mitochondrial mRNAs at the small ribosomal subunit for translation initiation

Project description:Mitochondrial gene expression is essential for oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial-encoded mRNAs are translated by dedicated mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes), whose regulation remains elusive. In the baker´s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, nuclear-encoded mitochondrial translational activators (TAs) facilitate transcript-specific translation by a yet unknown mechanism. Here, we investigated the function of TAs containing RNA-binding pentatricopeptide repeats (PPRs) using selective mitoribosome profiling and cryo-EM structural analysis. These analyses revealed that TAs exhibit strong selectivity for mitoribosomes initiating on their target transcripts. Moreover, TA-mitoribosome footprints indicated that TAs recruit mitoribosomes proximal to the start codon. Two cryo-EM structures of mRNA-TA complexes bound to post-initiation/pre-elongation-stalled mitoribosomes revealed the general mechanism of TA action. Specifically, the TAs bind to structural elements in the 5' UTR of the client mRNA as well as to the mRNA exit channel to align the mRNA in the small subunit during initiation. Our findings provide a structural basis for understanding how mitochondria achieve transcript-specific translation initiation without relying on general sequence elements to position ribosomes at start codons.

Human mitochondria require mtRF1 for translation termination at non-canonical stop codons

Project description:Mitochondrial translation system highly diverged from its bacterial counterpart. This includes deviation from the universal genetic code, with AGA and AGG having no cognate tRNAs in human mitochondria. Their locations at the end of COX1 and ND6 open reading frames, respectively, suggests they function as stop codons. However, while canonical stop codons, UAA and UAG, are recognized by mtRF1a in mitochondria, the release mechanism at AGA and AGG remains a debated issue. Here, we show that upon the loss of another member of the mitochondrial release factor family, mtRF1, mitoribosomes accumulate specifically at AGA and AGG codons. Stalling of mitoribosomes alters COX1 transcript and protein levels, but not ND6 production. Finally, we set up an in vitro reconstituted mitochondrial translation system, which confirms the specific release activity of mtRF1 on AGA and AGG codons. Together, our study uncovers the mechanism of translation termination in mitochondria and provides first insights into the consequences of its failure.

NSUN3 and ABH1 modify the wobble position of mt-tRNAMet to expand codon recognition in mitochondrial translation

Project description:Mitochondrial gene expression uses a non-universal genetic code in mammals. Besides reading the conventional AUG codon, mitochondrial (mt-)tRNAMet mediates incorporation of methionine on AUA and AUU codons during translation initiation and on AUA codons during elongation. We show that the RNA methyltransferase NSUN3 localises to mitochondria and interacts with mt-tRNAMet to methylate cytosine 34 (C34) at the wobble position. NSUN3 specifically recognises the anticodon stem loop (ASL) of the tRNA, explaining why a mutation that compromises ASL basepairing leads to disease. We further identify ALKBH1/ABH1 as the dioxygenase responsible for oxidising m5C34 of mt-tRNAMet to generate an f5C34 modification. In vitro codon recognition studies with mitochondrial translation factors reveal preferential utilization of m5C34 mt-tRNAMet in initiation. Depletion of either NSUN3 or ABH1 strongly affects mitochondrial translation in human cells, implying that modifications generated by both enzymes are necessary for mt-tRNAMet function. Together, our data reveal how modifications in mt-tRNAMet are generated by the sequential action of NSUN3 and ABH1, allowing the single mitochondrial tRNAMet to recognise the different codons encoding methionine. HEK293 cell lines expressing His-FLAG-tagged NSUN3 or the His-FLAG tag alone were crosslinked using UV or treated with 5-azacytidine and analysed by CRAC

Balancing of mitochondrial translation through METTL8-mediated m3C modification of mitochondrial tRNAs

Project description:Mitochondria contain a specific translation machinery for the synthesis of respiratory chain components encoded on the mitochondrial genome. Mitochondrial tRNAs (mt-tRNAs) are also generated from the mitochondrial genome and, similar to their cytoplasmic counterparts, are modified at various positions. Here, we find that the RNA methyltransferase METTL8, is a mitochondrial protein that facilitates m3C methylation at position C32 of mt-tRNASer(UCN) and mt-tRNAThr. METTL8 knock out cells show reduced and over expressing cells enhanced respiratory chain activity. In pancreatic cancer, METTL8 levels are high, which correlates with patient survival. Indeed, METTL8 up regulation stimulates respiratory chain activity in these cells. Ribosome occupancy analysis using ribosome profiling revealed ribosome stalling on mt-tRNASer(UCN) and mt-tRNAThr codons and mass spectrometry analysis of native ribosomal subcomplexes unraveled reduced respiratory chain incorporation of the mitochondria encoded proteins ND6 and ND1. A well-balanced translation of mt-tRNASer(UCN) and mt-tRNAThr codons through METTL8-mediated C32 methylation might therefore provide optimal respiratory chain compositions and function.

Transcription arrest induces formation of protective RNA granules in mitochondria

Project description:Mitochondrial gene expression regulation is required for the biogenesis of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes, yet the spatial organization of mitochondrial RNAs (mt-RNAs) remains unknown. Here, we investigated the spatial distribution of mt-RNAs during various cellular stresses using single-molecule RNA-FISH. We discovered that transcription inhibition leads to the formation of distinct RNA granules within mitochondria, which we term inhibition granules. These structures differ from canonical mitochondrial RNA granules (MRGs) and form in response to multiple transcription arrest conditions, including ethidium bromide treatment, specific inhibition of the mitochondrial RNA polymerase, and depletion of the SUV3 helicase. Inhibition granules appear to serve a protective function, stabilizing certain mt-mRNAs during prolonged transcription inhibition. This phenomenon coincides with an imbalance in OXPHOS complex expression, where mitochondrial-encoded transcripts decrease while nuclear-encoded subunits remain stable. We found that cells recover from transcription inhibition via resolving the granules, restarting transcription and repopulating the mitochondrial network with mt-mRNAs within hours. We suggest that inhibition granules may act as a reservoir to help overcome OXPHOS imbalance during recovery from transcription arrest.

MOF acetyl transferase regulates transcription and respiration in mitochondria

Project description:Histone acetylation is sensitive to metabolic cues, however interplay between histone acetyl transferases and cellular metabolism remains poorly understood. Here we report the localization of a classical nuclear HAT- MOF and members of Non-Specific Lethal complex in mitochondria. MOF regulates expression of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes, residing in both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, selectively in aerobically respiring cells. Furthermore, MOF/KANSL1 depletion causes impaired mitochondrial translation and reduced respiration. MOF loss is catastrophic for tissues with high-energy consumption. In mouse hearts, Mof knockout causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, compromised ventricular contractility/ stroke volume and ultimately leads to cardiac failure within three weeks of birth. RNA-seq analysis of the cardiomyocytes revealed deregulation of mitochondrial nutrient metabolism and OXPHOS pathways. Consistently, electron microscopy on affected tissues revealed mitochondrial deterioration with high tissue heterogeneity, commonly observed in mitochondrial diseases. Thus, we reveal a novel function of MOF in mitochondrial homeostasis and propose MOF as a sensor connecting epigenetic regulation to metabolism. We generated mRNA-seq profile of Mof depleted HeLa cells adapted in glucose or galactose media. We also present nuclear RNA seq profile from Mof deleted cardiomyocytes.
