Fibrillarin-mediated 2'-O-methylation serves as a translation brake on uncapped enterovirus RNA

ABSTRACT: 2′-O-methylation (Nm) is a key epitranscriptomic mark across diverse RNAs, yet its role in antiviral defense remains largely unexplored. To systematically investigate the landscape and functional significance of internal Nm modifications on enterovirus RNAs, a sensitive sequencing method termed RACE-Nm was established, in combination with the machine learning–based predictor NanoNm, to map Nm sites on low-abundance RNAs at single-nucleotide resolution. A conserved Nm site was identified at nucleotide 307C within the viral internal ribosome entry site (IRES), which was catalyzed by the methyltransferase FBL. The 2′-O-methylation at 307C caused steric hindrance that disrupted PCBP2 recruitment to the IRES and repressed cap-independent translation. Consequently, FBL-mediated suppression of IRES activity limited the production of the viral RNA polymerase 3D, which in turn prevented the upregulation of a set of pro-viral host genes, including FOSL1, ITGB3, KCNQ4, and TFPI2. The physiological importance of this defense mechanism was further demonstrated in vivo, as EV71 mutant lacking the 307C site showed markedly enhanced replication, aggravated tissue damage, and increased lethality in mouse model. Our study establishes FBL-mediated internal Nm modification as a novel host defense pathway that directly targets cap-independent translation to restrict enteroviral infection, highlighting the epitranscriptomic regulation of host–virus interactions.

Targeting eEF1A reprograms cellular translation and uncovers alternative broad-spectrum antivirals against cap or m6A protein synthesis routes

Project description:Plitidepsin is an antitumoral drug safe for treating COVID-19 infection that impairs SARS-CoV-2 replication by targeting the translation elongation factor eEF1A. Here we show that plitidepsin decreased all SARS-CoV-2 transcripts along the early translation of viral R1AB polyproteins and the late synthesis of structural viral proteins. It also reduced de novo cap-dependent translation of viral and non-viral RNAs but affected less than 13% of the host proteome, thus preserving cellular viability. In response to plitidepsin, cells upregulated EIF2AK3 and additional proteins that reduce translation. Other proteins supported proteostasis via ribosome synthesis and cap-independent translation routes, which relied on eIF4G2, PABPC1, and readers such as IGF2BP2. While cap- or internal ribosome entry sites (IRES)-mediated translation pathways were inhibited by plitidepsin, impact on N6-methyladenosine (m6A) translation was limited. The molecular landscape reprogrammed by cells treated with plitidepsin predicted a potential broad-spectrum activity against viruses translated via cap- or IRES-dependent pathways that were suppressed by m6A. In agreement, plitidepsin inhibited the replication of members from the Coronaviridae, Flaviviridae, Pneumoviridae and Herpesviridae families. Yet, it failed to block retroviruses that exploit m6A synthesis routes and are inhibited by drugs against specific m6A readers such as IGF2BP2. By deciphering the molecular fingerprint of cells treated with host-directed therapies targeting protein translation, we identified a rational approach to select for broad-spectrum antivirals with complementary activities and potential to counteract future pandemic viruses.

A PRC2-independent function for EZH2 in regulating rRNA 2′-O methylation and IRES-dependent translation

Project description:Overactivated ribosome biogenesis is a common feature of cancer. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Herein, we report enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone methyltransferase, could interact with fibrillarin (FBL) directly in the nucleolus. While loss of EZH2 does not impact FBL-mediated histone H2AQ104 methylation (H2AQ104me) and 18S rRNA processing, EZH2 is proved to be involved in rRNA 2′-O methylation in a manner dependent of its interaction with FBL. Mechanistically, EZH2 strengthens the fibrillarin (FBL)-NOP56 interaction by binding to both proteins and thus facilitates the assembly of box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (box C/D snoRNP). Strikingly, EZH2 deficiency alters translational efficiency and reduces internal ribosome entry site (IRES) activity of key oncogenes in prostate cancer. In summary, our findings reveal a novel non-methyltransferase role of EZH2 that mediates FBL functions, which may provide more options for the development of EZH2-targeting curative strategies in cancer.

RNA-protein interactome reveals essential roles of RPL5 and RNA helicase A in mediating translation from the Hepatitis E virus internal ribosome entry site-like element

Project description:Multiple processes exist in a cell to ensure continuousproduction of essential proteins either through cap-dependent or cap-independent translation processes. Viruses depend on the host translation machinery for viral protein synthesis. Therefore, viruses have evolved clever strategies to utilize the host translation machinery. Earlier studies have shown that genotype1 hepatitis E virus (g1-HEV) utilizes both cap-dependent and cap-independent translation machineries for its replication and proliferation. Cap-independent translation in g1-HEV is driven by an eighty seven nucleotide-long RNA element which acts as a noncanonical, internal ribosome entry site like (IRESl) element. Here, we have identified the RNA-protein interactome of the HEV IRESl element and characterized the functional significance of some of its components. Our study reveals indispensable roles of host ribosomal proteinRPL5 and DHX9 (RNA helicase A) in mediating efficient translation from the IRESlelement and establish the function of HEV IRESl as a bonafide internal ribosome entry site.

Transcriptional and polysomal profile of poliovirus-infected HUVECs

Project description:Translation initiation of eukaryotic mRNAs mostly occurs by the cap-dependent ribosome scanning mechanism. However, certain mRNAs are translated by ribosome assembly at internal ribosome entry sites (IRES), a mechanism that allows the synthesis of certain proteins when cap-dependent translation is inhibited by cellular stress. Whether IRES-mediated translation occurs in stressed human endothelial cells (EC) is unknown. We performed whole genome microarray analysis of polyribosomal mRNA (43,203 sequences) from virus-infected EC to identify IRES-containing mRNAs.

Identification of the TXNIP IRES and characterization of the impact of regulatory IRES trans-acting factors

Project description:Translation is a tightly regulated and is predominantly controlled at the level of its initiation. Initiation occurs in a cap-dependent manner. Under stress conditions when cap-dependent translation is hampered, internal ribosome entry sites (IRESes) allow for cap-independent translation of certain mRNAs. IRES-dependent translation is commonly regulated by RNA-interacting proteins, known as IRES trans-acting factors (ITAFs). In the present study, we searched for new IRESes by identifying 5’ untranslated regions (UTRs) bound by the ITAF hnRNPA1. Using a PAR-iCLIP approach, we found the mRNA of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) bound by hnRNPA1. Upon verification of an IRES element within the 5’UTR of TXNIP, we determined additional interacting proteins, which predominantly appeared to interact with the IRES-regulatory second half of the 5’UTR. Amongst these PTB, FBP3, and GEMIN5 emerged as functional ITAFs. Finally, we found that the TXNIP IRES-inhibitory effect of PTB was dominant over the activating effect of FBP3, while it succumbed to the stimulatory function of GEMIN5. In summary, we identified and characterized a novel IRES within the 5’UTR of TXNIP, which is regulated by the ITAFs PTB, FBP3, and GEMIN5.

Scope and mechanism of eIF4F-independent mRNA translation

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis typically begins with the binding of eIF4F to the 7-methylguanylate (m7G)cap found on the 5’ end of the majority of mRNAs. Surprisingly, overall translational output remains robust under eIF4F inhibition. The sustained protein synthesis has been largely attributed to cap-independent translation mediated by internal ribosome entry sites (IRES). However, the IRES-driven translation is substrate-specific and largely incompatible with the broad spectrum of eIF4F-resistant translatomes.Here, we report that N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-mediated translation prevails on capped mRNAs and is resistant to eIF4F inactivation.Depletion of the methyltransferase METTL3 selectively inhibits translation of mRNAs bearing 5’UTR methylation, but not mRNAs with 5’ terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) elements. Mechanistically, we identify ABCF1 as a critical mediator of m6A-promoted translation under both stress and physiological conditions. Supporting the role of ABCF1 in m6A-mediated cap-independent translation, ABCF1-sensitive transcripts largely overlap with METTL3-responsible mRNA targets. By illustrating the scope and the mechanism of translation initiation that is neither cap- nor IRES-dependent, these findingsreshape our current perceptions of cellular translational pathways

Multiple cis acting polypyrimidine tract elements regulate a cooperative mechanism for Triticum mosaic virus internal ribosomal entry site activity=]

Project description:Diverse elements within the 5’ untranslated region of an mRNA can influence the translation efficiency at the main AUG codon. We previously identified a core picornaviral like Y16X11-AUG motif with 16-nt polypyrimidine CU-tract separated by an 11-nt spacer sequence from the 13th AUG codon recognized as the preferred initiation site within the Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element. The motif is proposed to function as an internal ribosomal landing site at the designated start codon. Here we exposed the cooperative role of multiple CU-rich segments flanking the TriMV YX-AUG motif to drive internal initiation of translation at the preferred start site. We propose that these auxiliary domains may enhance the ribosome capacity at proximity of the correct initiation site. These polypyrimidine tracts can be modulated with a cryptic AUG and in a position-dependent manner to replace the native YX-AUG motif and to reprogram translation to the upstream sites, and thus uncovering a new layer of control of the selection of the initiation site. In line with these observations, mass spec analysis of proteins directly interacting with translationally impaired TriMV IRES mutants that bear these motifs indicated an enrichment in 40S and 60S ribosomal related proteins, revealing a new function of polypyrimidine tracts to regulate IRES-driven translation. Accessibility of these RNA regions for in trans interaction was validated by SHAPE analysis of the entire TriMV leader sequence and supported by the ability of anti-sense oligonucleotides designed to block the CU-tracts accessibility to impair IRES activity. This is the first evidence that defines the core modular domains required for start codon selection in a complex, multi-AUG viral 5’UTR for translation in plants.

Differential IRES-initiated translation during homeostatic stem cell differentiation and stress

Project description:Cell stress commonly induces preferentially reduced m7G-cap-dependent translation initiation while cap-indendepent, IRES-mediated initiation persists. We investigated differential translation initiation in the highly regulated protein production of somatic stem cells by generating a reporter mouse quantifying the ratio of IRES-mediated to cap-dependent translation in vivo. Both hematopoietic and epithelial stem cells exhibited minimal IRES utilization that progressively increased with differentiation. Notably, even within defined differentiation states, lower IRES/Cap was associated with increased clonogenicity regardless of cell cycle and among HSCs, with greater long-term multi-lineage regeneration. The RNA binding protein PTBP1 is a key modulator of IRES utilization during differentiation by CRISPR/Cas9i screening. Even within IRES-low immature stem/progenitor cells, nutrient stress upregulated IRES utilization, pointing to distinct roles of IRES in cell behavior depending on physiologic state.

Fibrillarin-dependent 2′-O-methylation modulates RPS28 ribosome incorporation and oncogenic translation

Project description:Fibrillarin (FBL), a core component of the C/D box small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) complex, catalyzes the 2'-O-methylation (Nm) of the ribose 2'-hydroxyl moiety in ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Distinct Nm patterns contribute to ribosome heterogeneity, which is linked to selective translation of oncogenes. FBL dysregulation generates an aberrant Nm signature in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most aggressive breast cancer subtype. This study investigated the role of FBL in TNBC via translation-driven mechanisms. Our findings show that FBL knockdown impairs tumorigenic traits, triggers metabolic stress, and reduces the translation efficiency of oncogenes, such as metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), and thymosin beta 10 (TMSB10). RiboMethSeq confirmed that the rRNA Nm sites exhibited differential sensitivity to FBL depletion. Additionally, FBL knockdown leads to alterations in 18S ribosome structure and specifically reduced RPS28 incorporation into ribosomes. Notably, silencing RPS28 also disrupted both the oncogenic phenotype and downregulated MTA1, IRAK1, and TMSB10 expression. These findings reveal a complex interplay between FBL, rRNA Nm modifications, and RPS28 in shaping oncogenic protein pools and ribosomal composition in TNBC, offering promising insights into therapeutic approaches targeting this aggressive cancer subtype.
