Cryo-EM structures of the human Elongator complex at work

ABSTRACT: The deposited data concern the mapping of acetylation sites on wild-type and the K280A, Y363A mutants of Elp3 by LC-MS/MS. Abstract of the manuscript: tRNA modifications affect ribosomal elongation speed and co-translational folding dynamics. The Elongator complex is responsible for introducing 5-carboxymethyl at wobble uridine bases (cm5U34) in eukaryotic tRNAs. However, the structure and function of human Elongator remain poorly understood. In this study, we present a series of cryo-EM structures of human ELP123 in complex with tRNA and cofactors at four different stages of the reaction cycle. The structures at resolutions of up to 2.9 A together with complementary functional analyses reveal the molecular mechanism of the modification reaction. Our results show that tRNA binding exposes a universally conserved uridine at position 33 (U33), which triggers acetyl-CoA (ACO) hydrolysis. We identify a series of conserved residues that are crucial for the radical-based acetylation of U34 and profile the molecular effects of patient-derived mutations. Together, we provide the first high-resolution view of human Elongator and reveal its detailed mechanism of action.

A Multiplicity of Factors Contributes to Selective RNA polymerase III occupancy of a Subset of RNA polymerase III Genes in Mouse Liver

Project description:The genomic loci occupied by RNA polymerase (pol) III have been characterized in human culture cells by genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq). These studies have in particular shown that only about 40 % of the annotated 622 human tRNA genes and pseudogenes are occupied by pol III, and that these genes are often in regions of open chromatin rich in active pol II transcription units. Here we have used ChIP-Seq to characterize pol III-occupied loci in a differentiated tissue, the mouse liver. Our studies define the mouse liver pol III-occupied loci and point to a conserved pol III-occupied mammalian interspersed repeat (MIR) as a potential regulator of a pol III subunit-encoding gene. They reveal that synteny relationships can be established between a number of human and mouse pol III genes, and that the expression levels of these genes are significantly linked. They establish that variations within the A and B promoter boxes, as well as the strength of the terminator sequence can strongly affect pol III occupancy of tRNA genes. They reveal correlations with various genomic features that together describe the pol III occupancy scores over some 50% of tRNA genes. In mouse liver, pol III-occupied loci represented in the NCBI37/mm9 genome assembly comprise fifty 5S genes, fourteen known non-tRNA genes, nine 4.5S genes, and some twenty nine SINEs. In addition, out of the 433 annotated tRNA genes, half are occupied by pol III. Transfer RNA gene expression levels reflect both an underlying genomic organization that is conserved in dividing human culture cells and resting mouse liver cells, and the particular promoter and terminator strengths of individual genes. 12 samples examinded, 4 on pol III, 2 on pol II, 2 on H3K4me3, 2 on H3k36me3, 2 input samples.

Structural basis of MALAT1 RNA maturation and mascRNA biogenesis

Project description:MALAT1 lncRNA plays key roles in regulating transcription, splicing, and tumorigenesis. Its maturation and stabilization require precise processing by RNase P, which simultaneously initiates the biogenesis of a 3′ cytoplasmic mascRNA. mascRNA was proposed to fold into a tRNA-like secondary structure, but lacks eight conserved linking residues required by the canonical tRNA fold. Here, we report crystal structures of human mascRNA before and after processing, which reveal an ultracompact, quasi-tRNA-like structure. Despite lacking all linker residues, mascRNA faithfully recreates the characteristic “elbow” feature of tRNAs to recruit RNase P and ELAC2 for processing, which exhibit distinct substrate specificities. Rotation and repositioning of the D-stem and anticodon regions preclude mascRNA from aminoacylation, avoiding interference with translation. Therefore, a class of metazoan lncRNAs employ a previously unrecognized, unusually streamlined quasi-tRNA architecture to recruit select tRNA-processing enzymes while excluding others, to drive bespoke RNA biogenesis, processing, and maturation.

AF9 Links Histone Acetylation to DOT1L-Mediated H3K79 Methylation

Project description:The recognition of modified histones by “reader” proteins constitutes a key mechanism regulating gene expression in the chromatin context. Compared with the great variety of readers for histone methylation, few protein modules that recognize histone acetylation are known. Here we show that the evolutionarily conserved YEATS domains constitute a novel family of acetyllysine readers. The human AF9 YEATS domain binds strongly to histone H3K9 acetylation and, to a lesser extent, H3K27 and H3K18 acetylation. Crystal structural studies revealed that AF9 YEATS adopts an eight-stranded immunoglobin fold and utilizes a serine-lined aromatic “sandwiching” cage for acetyllysine readout, representing a novel recognition mechanism that is distinct from that of known acetyllysine readers. Histone acetylation recognition by AF9 is important for the chromatin recruitment of the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L. Together, our studies identify the YEATS domain as a novel acetyllysine-binding module, thereby establishing the first direct link between histone acetylation and DOTL1-mediated H3K79 methylation in transcription control. ChIP-seq analysis of AF9, H3K79me3, H3K9ac in Hela cells and H3K79me3 in Hela AF9 knockdown and Hela Dot1L knockdown cells.

Architecture of the yeast Elongator complex

Project description:The highly conserved eukaryotic Elongator complex performs specific chemical modifications on wobble base uridines of tRNAs, which are essential for proteome stability and homeostasis. The complex is formed by six individual subunits (Elp1-6) that are all equally important for its tRNA modification activity. However, its overall architecture and the detailed reaction mechanism remain elusive. Here, we report the structures of the fully assembled yeast Elongator and the Elp123 sub-complex solved by an integrative structure determination approach showing that two copies of the Elp1, Elp2 and Elp3 subunits form a two-lobed scaffold, which binds Elp456 asymmetrically. Our topological models are consistent with previous studies on individual subunits and further validated by complementary biochemical analyses. Our study provides a structural framework on how the tRNA modification activity is carried out by Elongator.

XRN2 Suppresses Aberrant Entry of tRNA Trailers into Argonaute in Humans and Arabidopsis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a well-characterized class of small RNAs (sRNAs) that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. miRNAs function within a complex milieu of other sRNAs of similar size and abundance, with the best characterized being tRNA fragments or tRFs. The mechanism by which the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) selects for specific sRNAs over others is not entirely understood in human cells. Several highly expressed tRNA trailers (tRF-1s) are strikingly similar to microRNAs in length but are generally excluded from the microRNA effector pathway. This exclusion provides a paradigm for identifying mechanisms of RISC selectivity. Here, we show that 5' to 3' exoribonuclease XRN2 contributes to human RISC selectivity. Although highly abundant, tRF-1s are highly unstable and degraded by XRN2 which blocks tRF-1 accumulation in RISC. We also find that XRN mediated degradation of tRF-1s and subsequent exclusion from RISC is conserved in plants. Our findings reveal a conserved mechanism that prevents aberrant entry of a class of highly produced sRNAs into Ago2.

The thiolation modification of tRNA is essential for plant immunity

Project description:Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to regulate gene expression to activate immune responses against pathogen infections. However, how the translation system contributes to plant immunity is largely unknown. The evolutionarily conserved thiolation modification of tRNA ensures efficient decoding during translation. Here we show that tRNA thiolation is required for plant immunity in Arabidopsis. The Arabidopsis cgb mutant is hyper-susceptible to the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. CGB encodes ROL5, a homolog of yeast NCS6 required for tRNA thiolation. ROL5 physically interacts with CTU2, a homolog of yeast NCS2. Mutations in either ROL5 or CTU2 result in loss of tRNA thiolation. Further analyses reveal that tRNA thiolation is required for both transcriptional reprogramming and translational reprogramming during immune responses. The translation efficiency of immune-related proteins reduces when tRNA thiolation is absent. Our study not only uncovers a new biological function of tRNA thiolation but also reveals a new mechanism for plant immunity.

Characterizing expression and processing of precursor and mature human tRNAs by hydro-tRNAseq and PAR-CLIP

Project description:The participation of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in fundamental aspects of biology and disease necessitates an accurate, experimentally confirmed annotation of tRNA genes, and curation of precursor and mature tRNA sequences. This has been challenging, mainly because RNA secondary structure and nucleotide modifications, together with tRNA gene multiplicity, complicate sequencing and sequencing read mapping efforts. To address these issues, we developed hydro-tRNAseq, a method based on partial alkaline RNA hydrolysis that generates fragments amenable for sequencing. To identify transcribed tRNA genes, we further complemented this approach with Photoactivatable Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) of SSB/La, a conserved protein involved in pre-tRNA processing. Our results show that approximately half of all predicted tRNA genes are transcribed in human cells. We also report predominant nucleotide modification sites, their order of introduction, and identify tRNA leader, trailer and intron sequences. By using complementary sequencing-based methodologies, we present a human tRNA atlas, and determine expression levels of mature and processing intermediates of tRNAs in human cells.

BS3 crosslinking of the human TSEN complex

Project description:BS3 crosslinking of the human TSEN complex The tRNA splicing endonuclease (TSEN) complex performs the first step in the maturation of the anticodon stem loop of tRNAs. To date, eukaryotic TSEN complexes have been refractory to structural elucidation and this lack of structural information has hindered our understanding of tRNA recognition and processing. In the manuscript associated with this data, we employed Cryo-Electron Microscopy to solve structures of the human TSEN complex bound to a pre-tRNA in the pre-cleavage state. The structures, solved at near atomic resolution, revealed the overall architecture of the complex and the interfaces involved in tRNA binding. Overall, our data provide critical details into the molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic tRNA splicing as well as an understanding of disease-causing mutations in this protein complex.
