Absolute quantification of protein production reveals principles underlying protein synthesis rates

ABSTRACT: A quantitative view of cellular functions requires precise measures of the rates of biomolecule production, especially proteins-the direct effectors of biological processes. Here we present a genome-wide approach, based on ribosome profiling, for measuring absolute protein synthesis rates. The resultant E. coli dataset transforms our understanding of the extent to which protein synthesis is precisely controlled to optimize function and efficiency. For example, members of multi-protein complexes are made in precise proportion to their stoichiometry, whereas components of functional modules are produced differentially according to their hierarchical role. Estimates of absolute protein abundance also reveal principles used to optimize design. These include how the level of different types of transcription factors is optimized for rapid response, and how a metabolic pathway (methionine biosynthesis) balances production cost with activity requirements. More broadly, our studies reveal how general principles, important both for understanding natural systems and for synthesizing new ones, emerge from global quantitative analyses of protein synthesis.

Stoichiometric Production of Protein-Complex Components in Eukaryotes Without Widespread Feedback Regulation

Project description:Constituents of multi-protein complexes are required at well-defined levels relative to each other. However, it remains unknown whether eukaryotic cells typically produce precise amounts of subunits, or instead rely on degradation to mitigate imprecise production. Here we quantified the production rates of multi-protein complexes in single- and multi-cellular eukaryotes using ribosome profiling. By resolving read-mapping ambiguities present in a large fraction of ribosome footprints which often distorts quantitation accuracy in eukaryotes, we found that obligate components of multi-protein complexes are produced in proportion to their stoichiometry, indicating that their abundances are already precisely tuned at the synthesis level. By systematically interrogating the impact of gene dosage variations in budding yeast, we found a general lack of negative feedback regulation protecting the normally precise rates of subunit synthesis. These results reveal a core principle of proteome homeostasis and highlight the evolution towards quantitative control at every stage of the central dogma.

Whey Protein-based Enteral Nutrition Support to Improve Protein Economy in Surgical Patients

Project description:A prospective, randomized and controlled study is proposed to establish whether an enteral nutrition support regimen based on pressurized whey protein and glucose improves the postoperative utilization of amino acid substrates compared to a drink based on glucose alone. The kinetics of protein metabolism (protein breakdown, protein synthesis and amino acid oxidation) will be investigated using stable isotope methodology before and after surgery in patients undergoing colon resection. Stable isotope infusions will be conducted one week before surgery and on the second postoperative day for two hours in the fasted state and for four hours while sipping the enteral nutrition support regimen. Patients will consume one of two enteral nutrition support regimens consisting of a drink containing either pressurized whey protein and glucose or glucose alone. It is hypothesized that an enteral nutrition support regimen based on pressurized whey protein and glucose promotes positive protein balance through increased protein synthesis or reduced protein breakdown compared to glucose alone.

Slowest possible replicative life at frigid temperatures for yeast

Project description:Microbes and animals often inhabit frigid environments. Little is known about the design principles that govern a cell’s slow progression in life – how it proliferates, ages and dies – and potential constraints on slowly progressing life. Challenges lie in monitoring slow, intracellular processes and quantifying their combined effects on cells. Here we use budding yeast to quantitatively establish principles that govern cell proliferation and survival at near-freezing temperatures (0C – 5C). By monitoring individual cells for months at near-freezing temperatures, we found small numbers of cells dividing with weeks-long doubling times, while most others died. We found that cells die and cannot divide primarily from having high levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Reducing ROS levels or enabling G1 exit with abundant ROS largely prevented deaths and enabled cell divisions with shortened doubling times. These perturbations yielded a comprehensive view of cell's life at near-freezing temperatures that integrated our measurements of single cells’ lifespans, days-to-months-long cell-cycle durations, protein-synthesis rates, and genome-wide transcription rates. With a mathematical model, this systems-level view revealed that protein-synthesis dynamics becomes more rate-limiting for cell duplication while mRNA-synthesis dynamics becomes less rate-limiting as temperature approaches 0C. Consequently, the protein-synthesis rate and ROS together establish low-speed and high-speed limits for life at near-freezing temperatures: shortest and longest possible doubling times. Progressing through cell cycle more slowly than the low-speed limit ensures death. This work establishes a quantitative, systems-level foundation for engineering organisms to live in frigid environments and elucidating fundamental limits to slowing down life.

Dynamics in protein translation sustaining T cell preparedness

Project description:In response to pathogenic threats, naïve T cells rapidly transition from a quiescent to activated state, yet the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Using a pulsed SILAC approach, we investigated the dynamics of mRNA translation kinetics and protein turnover in human naïve and activated T cells. Our datasets uncovered that transcription factors maintaining T cell quiescence had constitutively high turnover, which facilitated their depletion upon activation. Furthermore, naïve T cells maintained a surprisingly large number of idling ribosomes as well as 242 repressed mRNA species and a reservoir of glycolytic enzymes. These components were rapidly engaged following stimulation, promoting an immediate translational and glycolytic switch to ramp up the T cell activation program. Our data elucidate new insights into how T cells maintain a prepared state to mount a rapid immune response, and provide a resource of protein turnover, absolute translation kinetics and protein synthesis rates in T cells (www.immunomics.ch).

On the relationship of protein and mRNA dynamics in vertebrate embryonic development [RiboZero]

Project description:A biochemical explanation of development from the fertilized egg to the adult anatomy requires an understanding of the complement of proteins and RNAs expressed over time during embryogenesis. Here we present a comprehensive characterization of protein and mRNA dynamics across early development in Xenopus. Surprisingly, we find that most proteins change very little and duplicated genes are expressed similarly. While the correlation between mRNA levels and protein expression is poor, a mass action kinetics model parametrized by the protein synthesis and degradation rates regresses protein dynamics to RNA dynamics, corrected for initial protein concentration. This study provides a rich resource for developmental biologists, unveiling detailed data for absolute levels of ~10K proteins and ~28K transcripts via convenient web portal. It underscores the lasting impact of maternal dowry, finds surprisingly few cases where degradation alone drives a change in protein level, and highlights the importance of transcription in shaping the proteome.

Modeling protein destiny in developing tomato fruit

Project description:Proteomics and transcriptomics data of tomato fruits (Solanum lycopersicum L. var. Moneymaker) at 9 developmental stages were used to calculate with a mathematical model the rate constants of synthesis and degradation for over 1,000 proteins. Proteome and transcriptome were extracted from the pericarp tissue and analyzed using label-free LC-MS/MS (Orbitrap Q-Exactive) and RNA Sequencing (Illumina), respectively. Absolute quantification of transcriptome has been obtained by spiking-in internal standard before total-RNA extraction. Absolute quantification of the proteome has been approximated using the "Total Protein" approach. An OD equation defining the changes of protein content has been used to determine the synthesis and degradation rate constants (day -1). Almost 2,400 transcript-protein pairs were identified and the translation and degradation rate constants were determined for more than a thousand proteins. The model predicted median values of about 2 min for the translation and a lifetime of approximately 11 days. Proteins involved in protein synthesis had higher ks and kd values, indicating that the protein machinery is particularly flexible. None sequenced-based features were found that could be used to predict these rate constants.
