Global Translational Impacts of the Loss of the tRNA Modification t6A in Yeast

ABSTRACT: The universal tRNA modification t6A is found at position 37 of nearly all tRNAs decoding ANN codons. The importance of t6A in decoding has been studied for the past 40 years, but the cellular role has remained unclear. In this work, we examined the genome-wide effect to translation during the absence of t6A. In accordance with the previous experiments using single gene reporters, absence of t6A led to a increase of upstream non-AUG initiation of translation and increased translation ambiguities. Surprisingly, absence of t6A did not lead to a global and cataclysmic frame-shifting, but instead occurred only in a few genes. Restoration of protein homeostasis through the overexpression of Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) factors or the addition of L-homoserine suppressed the slow growth phenotype seen in t6A-defcient strains.

Threonine fuels glioblastoma through YRDC-mediated codon-biased translational reprogramming

Project description:Cancers commonly reprogram translation and metabolism, but little is known about how these two features coordinate in cancer stem cells. Here, we show that glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) display elevated protein translation. To dissect underlying mechanisms, we performed a CRISPR screen and identified YRDC as the top essential tRNA modification enzymes in GSCs. YRDC catalyses the formation of N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A) on ANN-decoding tRNAs (A denotes adenosine and N denotes any nucleotide). Targeting YRDC reduced t6A formation, suppressed global translation, and inhibited tumour growth both in vitro and in vivo. Threonine is an essential substrate of YRDC. Threonine accumulated in GSCs, which facilitated t6A formation through YRDC and shifted the proteome to support mitosis-related genes with ANN codon-bias. Dietary threonine restriction (TR) reduced tumour t6A formation, slowed xenograft growth, and augmented anti-tumour efficacy of chemotherapy and anti-mitotic therapy, providing a molecular basis for a dietary intervention in cancer treatment.

Ribosome queuing enables non-AUG translation to be resistant to multiple protein synthesis inhibitors

Project description:Aberrant translation initiation at non-AUG start codons is associated with multiple cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, how non-AUG translation is regulated differently from canonical translation is poorly understood. We thus used start codon-selective reporters and ribosome profiling to characterize how translation from non-AUG start codons responds to protein synthesis inhibitors in human cells. These analyses surprisingly revealed that translation of non-AUG reporters and the endogenous GUG-encoded DAP5 (eIF4G2/p97) mRNA are resistant to cycloheximide (CHX), a translation inhibitor which slows but does not completely abrogate elongation. Our data suggest that slowly elongating ribosomes cause queuing of scanning pre-initiation complexes (PIC), preferentially enhancing otherwise poor recognition of non-AUG start codons. Consistent with this model, limiting PIC formation or scanning sensitizes non-AUG translation to CHX. Moreover, PIC queuing can cause translation from an AUG codon in a poor context to become less sensitive to CHX. We further find that non-AUG translation is resistant to other inhibitors that target ribosomes within the coding sequence, but not those targeting newly initiated ribosomes. In total, these data indicate that ribosome queuing enables mRNAs with poor initiation context, namely those from non-AUG start codons, to be resistant to pharmacological inhibitors.

Threonine fuels glioblastoma through YRDC-mediated codon-biased translational reprogramming (Ribosome profiling)

Project description:To understand the underlying mechanism of YRDC, an enzyme catalysing the formation of N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A) on ANN-decoding tRNAs, and the interplay between threonine and YRDC in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), we carried out comparative transcriptomic analysis in patient-derived GSC456 with or without YRDC deprivation and with or without threonine restriction (control media, 800 μM threonine; threonine-restricted media, 4 μM). To further investigate the translational regulation of YRDC and threonine in GSCs, we performed ribosome profiling in GSC456 with or without YRDC deprivation and with or without threonine restriction (control media, 800 μM threonine; threonine-restricted media, 4 μM).

Direct epitranscriptomic regulation of mammalian translation initiation through N4-acetylcytidine

Project description:mRNA function is influenced by modifications that modulate canonical nucleobase behavior. We show that a single modification mediates distinct impacts on mRNA translation in a position-dependent manner. While cytidine acetylation (ac4C) within protein-coding sequences stimulates translation, ac4C within 5’UTRs impacts protein synthesis at the level of initiation. 5’UTR acetylation promotes initiation at upstream sequences, competitively inhibiting annotated start codons. Acetylation further directly impedes initiation at optimal AUG contexts: ac4C within AUG-flanking Kozak sequences reduced initiation in base-resolved transcriptome-wide HeLa results, and in vitro utilizing substrates with site-specific ac4C incorporation. Cryo-EM of mammalian 80S initiation complexes revealed ac4C in the -1-position adjacent to an AUG start codon disrupts an interaction between C and hypermodified t6A at nucleotide 37 of the initiator tRNA. These findings demonstrate the impact of RNA modifications on nucleobase function at a molecular level and introduce mRNA acetylation as a factor regulating translation in a location-specific manner.

A coding sequence-embedded principle governs translational reading frame fidelity

Project description:Upon initiation at an AUG start codon, the ribosome must maintain the correct reading frame for hundreds of codons in order to produce functional proteins. Although some sequence elements are able to trigger programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF), very little is known how the ribosome normally prevents spontaneous frameshift errors. Using high resolution ribosome profiling data sets, we discovered that the translating ribosome uses the 3’ end of 18S rRNA to scan the AUG-like codons after the decoding process. The internal mRNA:rRNA interaction not only contributes to predominant translational pausing, but also provides a post-decoding mechanism to safeguard the ribosome in the correct reading frame. Partially eliminating the AUG-like “sticky” codons in the reporter message leads to increased +1 frameshift errors. Remarkably, mutating the highly conserved CAU triplet of 18S rRNA globally changes codon “stickiness”. Further supporting the role of “sticky” sequences in reading frame maintenance, the codon composition of open reading frames is highly optimized across eukaryotic genomes by minimizing the appearance of AUG-like codons in the frame 2. These results suggest an important layer of information embedded within the protein coding sequences that instructs the ribosome to ensure reading frame fidelity during translation.

eIF1 discriminates against suboptimal initiation sites to prevent excessive uORF translation genome-wide

Project description:The translation pre-initiation complex (PIC) scans the mRNA for an AUG codon in favorable context. Previous findings suggest that the factor eIF1 discriminates against non-AUG start codons by impeding full accommodation of Met-tRNAi in the P site of the 40S ribosomal subunit, necessitating eIF1 dissociation for start codon selection. Consistent with this, yeast eIF1 substitutions that weaken its binding to the PIC increase initiation at UUG codons on a mutant his4 mRNA and particular synthetic mRNA reporters; and also at the AUG start codon of the mRNA for eIF1 itself owing to its poor Kozak context. It was not known however whether such eIF1 mutants increase initiation at suboptimal start codons genome-wide. By ribosome profiling, we show that the eIF1-L96P variant confers increased translation of numerous upstream open reading frames (uORFs) initiating with either near-cognate codons (NCCs) or AUGs in poor context. The increased uORF translation is frequently associated with reduced translation of the downstream main coding sequences (CDS). Initiation is also elevated at the NCCs initiating N-terminal extensions on GRS1 and ALA1 mRNAs, and at a small set of main CDS AUG codons with especially poor context, including that of eIF1 itself. Thus, eIF1 acts throughout the yeast translatome to discriminate against NCC start codons and AUGs in poor context; and impairing this function enhances the repressive effects of uORFs on CDS translation and alters the ratios of protein isoforms translated from near-cognate versus AUG start codons.

Evolutionarily Conserved Inhibitory uORFs Sensitize Hox mRNA Translation to Start Codon Selection Stringency

Project description:Translation start site selection in eukaryotes is influenced by context nucleotides flanking the AUG codon and by levels of the eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF1 and eIF5. In a search of human genes, we identified 5 Hox gene paralogs initiated by AUG codons in conserved suboptimal context as well as 13 Hox genes that contain evolutionarily conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) that initiate at AUG codons in poor sequence context. We analyzed published CAGE-seq data and generated CAGE-seq data from mRNAs from mouse somites. These data demonstrate that the 5’ leaders of Hox mRNAs of interest contain conserved uORFs, are much shorter than reported, and lack previously proposed IRES elements. We show that the conserved uORFs inhibit Hox reporter expression and that altering the stringency of start codon selection by overexpressing eIF1 or eIF5 modulates the expression of Hox reporters. We also show that modifying ribosome homeostasis by depleting a large ribosomal subunit protein or treating cells with sublethal concentrations of puromycin leads to lower stringency of start codon selection. Thus, altering global translation can confer gene-specific effects through altered start codon selection stringency.
