A disease-causing Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase variant leads to altered protein complex formation and cellular stress response

ABSTRACT: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are key enzymes in protein synthesis, as they catalyze the attachment of amino acids to their designated, cognate tRNAs. As such, mutations in aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are associated with severe diseases, such as neurodevelopmental disorders. Many of these mutations occur in the catalytically active site or tRNA binding domains, however, others can affect domains associated with multisynthetase complex formation. Here, we investigate a disease-causing mutation in the UNE-I domain of Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IARS1, IleRS), which mediates IleRS interactions within the multisynthetase complex. Interestingly, levels of the resulting protein were severely reduced in comparison to wildtype IleRS. While bulk protein synthesis and cell proliferation were not affected, the integrated stress response signaling pathway was altered. This change was exacerbated in low glucose medium, suggesting that mutant cells could respond differently to cellular stress. Our study hints at a possible underlying disease mechanism, where catalytic activity might not be affected but instead complex formation and protein stability.

Regulation of Ex-Translational Activities Is Primary Function of Multi-tRNA Synthetase Complex

Project description:During mRNA translation, tRNAs are charged by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) and subsequently used by ribosomes. A multi-enzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex (MSC) has long been proposed to increase protein synthesis efficiency by passing charged tRNAs directly to ribosomes. An alternative is that the MSC repurposes specific synthetases for ex-translational functions that are activated by cues that direct specific enzymes to novel targets. To explore this question, we generated mammalian cell clones in which ArgRS and GlnRS were absent from the MSC to give a stable complex lacking the two enzymes (MSCΔRQ). Protein synthesis, under a variety of stress conditions, was unchanged in MSCΔRQ cells. Most strikingly, levels of charged tRNAGln and tRNAArg remained unchanged and no ribosome pausing was observed at codons for Arg and Gln. Thus, increasing or regulating protein synthesis efficiency is not dependent on ArgRS and GlnRS in the MSC. Alternatively, and consistent with previously reported ex-translational roles, we found manipulations that do not affect protein synthesis but instead MSC cellular localization.

On the mechanism and origin of isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase editing against norvaline

Project description:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), the enzymes responsible for coupling tRNAs to their cognate amino acids, minimize translational errors by intrinsic hydrolytic editing. Here, we compared the propensity of norvaline (Nva), a linear amino acid not coded for protein synthesis, to the proteinogenic, branched valine (Val) to mistranslate isoleucine (Ile) in proteins. We show that in the synthetic site of isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS), aminoacylation and pre-transfer editing with Nva and Val occur at similar rates. Post-transfer editing was, however, more efficient with Nva as IleRS misaminoacylates Nva-tRNAIle at slower rate than Val-tRNAIle. Accordingly, an Escherichia coli strain lacking IleRS post-transfer editing misincorporated Nva and Val in the proteome to a similar extent and at the same Ile positions. However, Nva mistranslation inflicted higher toxicity than Val, in agreement with IleRS post-transfer editing domain being optimized for hydrolysis of Nva-tRNAIle. Furthermore, we found that the evolutionary related IleRS, leucyl- and valyl-tRNA synthetases (I/L/VRSs), all efficiently hydrolyze Nva-tRNAs even when editing of Nva seems redundant. Thus, we hypothesize that editing of Nva-tRNAs had already existed in the last common ancestor of I/L/VRSs, and that the editing domain of I/L/VRSs had primarily evolved to prevent infiltration of Nva into modern proteins.

Ribo-seq of HEK293T overexpressing WT and G240R GARS

Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease can be caused by mutations in Aminoacyl-tRNA-Synthetases, including G240R mutation in Glycyl-tRNA-Synthetase (GARS). Ribo-seq generates snapshots of translating ribosomes on mRNA and therefore allows analysis of ribosome pausing mRNA. Here we performed Ribo-seq on lysates of HEK293T cells overexpressing GARS, WT or G240R, to dissect mechanism of CMT linked with translation. We found that GARS G240R causes pausing of ribosomes with glycine codons in A-site. The effect is specific for 21 nt ribosome-protected fragments, produced by ribosomes with empty A-sites, suggestive of the deficit of charged Glycyl-tRNA in GARS G240R-CMT.

Adaptation of human cells to protein synthesis errors

Project description:Protein synthesis is a highly regulated process and maintenance of its fidelity is essential to life. Alterations in the components of the protein synthesis machinery, namely RNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) or tRNA modifying enzymes, increase the level of protein synthesis errors (PSE), and are associated with several conditions, from cancer to neurodegeneration. Still, the cause-effect mechanisms remain to be elucidated in many conditions. In order to have a global picture of how human cells respond and adapt in culture we created stable HEK293 cell lines that express mutant tRNAs. For this, we modified the anticodon of a human serine transfer RNA (tRNASer), to incorporate the amino acid serine (Ser) at various non-cognate sites and overexpressed the wild type tRNASer to evaluate the effects of tRNA misexpression. DNA microarrays were then performed to identify the transcriptional deregulation induced by PSE of cells in culture at different time points (cells passages).

Growth Optimized Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase Levels Prevent Maximal tRNA Charging

Project description:Summary Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) serve a dual role in charging tRNAs. Their enzymatic activities both provide protein synthesis flux and reduce uncharged tRNA levels. Although uncharged tRNAs can negatively impact bacterial growth, substantial concentrations of tRNAs remain deacylated even under nutrient-rich conditions. Here we show that tRNA charging in Bacillus subtilis is not maximized due to optimization of aaRS production during rapid growth, which prioritizes demands in protein synthesis over charging levels. The presence of uncharged tRNAs is alleviated by precisely tuned translation kinetics and the stringent response, both insensitive to aaRS overproduction but sharply responsive to underproduction, allowing for just-enough aaRS production atop a “fitness cliff”. Notably, we find that the stringent response mitigates fitness defects at all aaRS underproduction levels even without external starvation. Thus, adherence to minimal, flux-satisfying protein production drives limited tRNA charging and provides a basis for the sensitivity and setpoints of an integrated growth-control network.

Transcriptional dysregulation by a nucleus-localized aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy

Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a length-dependent peripheral neuropathy. The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases constitute the largest protein family implicated in CMT. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are predominantly cytoplasmic, but are also present in the nucleus. Here we show that a nuclear function of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) is implicated in a Drosophila model of CMT. CMT-causing mutations in TyrRS induce unique conformational changes, which confer capacity for aberrant interactions with transcriptional regulators in the nucleus, leading to transcription factor E2F1 hyperactivation. Using neuronal tissues, we reveal a broad transcriptional regulation network associated with wild-type TyrRS expression, which is disturbed when a CMT-mutant is expressed. Pharmacological inhibition of TyrRS nuclear entry with embelin reduces, whereas genetic nuclear exclusion of mutant TyrRS prevents hallmark phenotypes of CMT in the Drosophila model. These data highlight that this translation factor may contribute to transcriptional regulation in neurons, and suggest a therapeutic target for CMT.

Genome-wide screening reveals metabolic regulation of translational fidelity by cyclic AMP

Project description:Translational quality control is critical for maintaining the accuracy of protein synthesis in all domains of life. Mutations in aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and the ribosome are known to affect translational fidelity and alter fitness, viability, stress responses, neuron function, and life span. In this study, we used a high-throughput fluorescence-based assay to screen a knock-out library of Escherichia coli and identified 30 nonessential genes that are critical for maintaining the fidelity of stop-codon readthrough. Most of these identified genes have not been shown to affect translational fidelity previously. Intriguingly, we show that several genes controlling metabolism, including cyaA and guaA, unexpectedly enhance stop-codon readthrough. CyaA and GuaA catalyze the synthesis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP), respectively. Both CyaA and GuaA increase the expression of ribosomes and tRNAs, allowing aminoacyl-tRNAs to compete with release factors and suppress stop codons. In addition, the effect of guaA deletion on stop-codon readthrough is abolished by deleting prfC, which encodes release factor 3 (RF3). Our results suggest that nucleotide and carbon metabolism is tightly coupled with translational fidelity.

Integrator complex subunit 12 is a key regulator of human protein synthesis pathways

Project description:Genome wide association studies of human lung function have identified a signal on 4q24 but the mechanistic basis for this signal is unclear. This region contains the Integrator Complex subunit 12 gene (INTS12) and nearby polymorphisms associated with lung function correlate with INTS12 expression. We aimed to define INTS12 function in human bronchial epithelial cells. RNAseq pathway analyses of INTS12 depleted cells revealed robust downregulation of several protein synthesis related pathways, including the aminoacyl tRNA synthetases and PERK regulated gene expression. Indeed, INTS12 knockdown using mRNA silencing repressed cellular translation and proliferation. ChIPseq gene-centric analyses revealed INTS12 binding to be near transcriptional start sites. The binding was found to be enriched for differentially expressed loci identifying the genes it regulates, a finding previously unknown for this particular member of Integrator complex. These findings contribute to the biology behind genetic association
