Ribosome profiling study of eIF5A depletion strain

ABSTRACT: The eukaryotic translation factor eIF5A, originally identified as an initiation factor, was later shown to promote translation elongation of iterated proline sequences. Using a combination of ribosome profiling and in vitro biochemistry, we report a much broader role for eIF5A in elongation and uncover a substantial function for eIF5A in termination. Ribosome profiling of an eIF5A-depleted strain reveals a global elongation defect, with abundant ribosomes stalling at many sequences, not limited to proline stretches. Our data also show accumulation at stop codons and in the 3’-UTR, suggesting a global defect in termination in the absence of eIF5A. Using an in vitro reconstituted translation system, we find that eIF5A strongly promotes the translation of novel stalling sequences and increases the rate of peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis more than 17-fold. We conclude that eIF5A functions broadly in elongation and termination, rationalizing its great cellular abundance and essential nature.

Project description:The eukaryotic translation factor eIF5A plays an essential role in translation elongation, especially across stretches of prolines and charged amino acids, and in translation termination. Although eIF5A is subjected to hypusination, a post-translational modification unique to this protein, how hypusination contributes to the eIF5A function remains elusive. Here we investigated the cellular defects induced by hypusination inhibitor GC7 (N1-guanyl-1,7-diaminoheptane). Through proteome, translatome and transcriptome analysis, we found that GC7 decreased a subset of mitochondrial proteins and DNA (mtDNA). Furthermore, chemical genomic screening using barcoded shRNA libraries identified genes for particular proteins involved in polyamine metabolism and a mitochondrial protein MPV17L2 as those altering the cytotoxicity induced by GC7. Depletion of MPV17L2 led to hypersensitivity to GC7 as well as the decreases in mitochondrial proteins and mtDNA. Moreover, metabolome analysis revealed that MPV17L2 depletion and GC7 treatment additively decreased the amount of proline and asparagine. Our results indicate that MPV17L2 displays a synthetic lethal interaction with the eIF5A hypusination targeted by GC7.

The marine natural product girolline has been described as an inhibitor of protein synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that it is not a general translation inhibitor but represents a sequence-specific modulator of translation factor eIF5A. Girolline interferes with ribosome-eIF5A interaction and induces ribosome stalling, primarily on AAA-encoded lysine. Our data furthermore indicate that eIF5A plays a physiological role in ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) and is important in maintaining the efficiency of translational progress. Girolline, therefore, provides a potent tool compound for understanding the interplay between protein production and quality control in a physiological setting and offers a new and selective means of modulating gene expression. numerous molecules serving as valuable therapeutics.
