Project description:Ribosomal RNA modifications are introduced by specific enzymes during ribosome assembly in bacteria. Deletion of individual modification enzymes has a minor effect on bacterial growth, ribosome biogenesis, and translation, which has complicated the definition of the function of the enzymes and their products. We have constructed an E. coli strain lacking 10 genes encoding enzymes that modify 23S rRNA around the peptidyl-transferase center. This strain exhibits severely compromised growth and ribosome assembly, especially at lower temperatures. Ribosomal protein composition of the mature 50S ribosomes and free 50S subunits was analyzed by SILAC based qMS approach. We have found that absence of 23S rRNA modifications around PTC does not affect significantly r-protein content of incompletely assembled 50S or mature 50S ribosomes.

Project description:Ribosomes, macromolecular machines producing a cell´s protein content, are formed from their RNA and protein components in a dynamic process referred to as ribosome assembly. While ribosome assembly in the cell starts with the successive synthesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) by the RNA polymerase holoenzyme, and requires numerous assembly factors, (Kaczanowska & Ryden-Aulin, 2007; Shajani et al., 2011), the process can be accomplished in vitro, using purified ribosomal components and scalable reaction conditions (Nierhaus & Dohme, 1974; Traub & Nomura, 1968). To obtain structural and conceptual insights in the early phase of the process, we performed the in vitro assembly reaction of the bacterial 50S subunit as a time course reaction, analyzed samples by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation, activity assay, quantitative mass spectrometry (qMS) and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Our structural analysis reveals that early 50 assembly initiates with 23S rRNA domain I and occurs in a domain-wise fashion, while late 50S assembly proceeds incrementally. Notably, in both phases parallel pathways are utilized. Furthermore, we find that both ribosomal proteins and folded rRNA helices, occupying surface exposed regions on pre-50S particles, induce, or stabilize rRNA folds within adjacent regions, thereby creating cooperativity. Our study provides new insights into fundamental principles governing ribosome assembly.

Project description:In Escherichia coli, the heat shock protein 15 (Hsp15) is part of the cellular response to elevated temperature. Hsp15 interacts with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complexes that arise upon dissociation of translating 70S ribosomes, and is proposed to facilitate their rescue and recycling. A previous structure of E. coli Hsp15 in complex with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complex reported a binding site located at the central protuberance of the 50S subunit. By contrast, recent structures of RqcP, the Hsp15 homolog in Bacillus subtilis, in complex with peptidyl-tRNA-50S complexes have revealed a distinct site positioned between the anticodon-stem-loop (ASL) of the P-site tRNA and H69 of the 23S rRNA. Here we demonstrate that exposure of E. coli cells to heat shock leads to dissociation of 70S ribosomes and accumulation of 50S subunits, thus identifying a natural substrate for Hsp15 binding. Additionally, we have determined a cryo-EM reconstruction of the Hsp15-50S-peptidyl-tRNA complex isolated from heat shocked E. coli cells, revealing that Hsp15 binds to the 50S-peptidyl-tRNA complex analogously to its B. subtilis homolog RqcP. Collectively, our findings support a model where Hsp15 promotes access to the A-site for putative rescue factors to release the aberrant nascent polypeptide chain.

Project description:23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of Escherichia coli 50S large ribosome subunit contains 26 post-transcriptionally modified nucleosides. Here, we determine the extent of modifications in the 35S and 45S large subunit intermediates, accumulating in cells expressing the helicase inactive DbpA protein, R331A, and the native 50S large subunit. The modifications we characterized are nine pseudouridines, 3-methylpseudouridine, 2-methyladenine, and 5-hydroxycytosine. These modifications were detected using 1-cyclohexyl-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide metho-p-toluene sulfonate (CMCT) treatment followed by alkaline treatment. In addition, KMnO4 treatment of 23S rRNA was employed to detect 5-hydroxycytosine modification. CMCT and KMnO4 treatment produce chemical changes in modified nucleotides that cause reverse transcriptase misincorporations and deletions, which were detected employing next generation sequencing. Our results show that seven uridines to pseudouridine isomerizations and the 2-methyladenosine modification are present both in the 35S and 45S to similar extents as in the 50S. Hence, the enzymes that perform these modifications, namely RluF, RluB, RlmN, RluA, RluC, and RluA, have already acted in the intermediates. While two uridines to pseudouridines isomerizations, the 3-methylpseudouridine, and 5-hydroxycytosine modifications are significantly less present in the 35S and 45S as compared to the 50S. Therefore, the enzymes that perform these modifications, RluD, RlmH, and RlhA, are in the process of modifying the 35S, and 45S or these enzymes act during the later stages of ribosome assembly. Our study employs a novel high throughput and single nucleotide resolution technique for detection of 2-methyladenine and two novel high throughput and single nucleotide resolution technique for detection of 5-hydroxycytosine.

Project description:While the protein composition of various yeast 60S ribosomal subunit assembly intermediates has been studied in detail, little is known about ribosomal RNA (rRNA) structural rearrangements that take place during early 60S assembly steps. Using a high-throughput RNA structure probing method, we provide nucleotide resolution insights into rRNA structural rearrangements during nucleolar 60S assembly. Our results suggest that many rRNA-folding steps, such as folding of 5.8S rRNA, occur at a very specific stage of assembly, and propose that downstream nuclear assembly events can only continue once 5.8S folding has been completed. Our maps of nucleotide flexibility enable making predictions about the establishment of protein-rRNA interactions, providing intriguing insights into the temporal order of protein-rRNA as well as long-range inter-domain rRNA interactions. These data argue that many distant domains in the rRNA can assemble simultaneously during early 60S assembly and underscore the enormous complexity of 60S synthesis.Ribosome biogenesis is a dynamic process that involves the ordered assembly of ribosomal proteins and numerous RNA structural rearrangements. Here the authors apply ChemModSeq, a high-throughput RNA structure probing method, to quantitatively measure changes in RNA flexibility during the nucleolar stages of 60S assembly in yeast.

Project description:BipA is a conserved translational GTPase that resembles elongation factor EF-G and 30S assembly factor LepA. Recent evidence suggests that BipA functions in 50S subunit assembly, but the precise role of the factor remains unclear. Here, we use stable isotope labeling of amino acids in culture and mass spectrometry (SILAC / MS) to examine the function of BipA in ribosome biogenesis. During growth at suboptimal temperature, loss of BipA leads to accumulation of immature large subunit particles (~40S) that lack several proteins. These include L2, L7/12, L10, L14, L16, L17, L19, L27, L28 and L32. Parallel analysis of the control (wild-type) strain shows accumulation of virtually identical intermediate particles, although at much lower levels. Further analysis showed that the main path of 50S assembly differs depending on media in which the cells are grown, demonstrating the robust and flexible nature of the assembly process.

Project description:Biogenesis of plastid ribosomes is facilitated by auxiliary factors which process and modify ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) or are involved in ribosome assembly. In comparison to their bacterial and mitochondrial counterparts, the biogenesis of plastid ribosomes is less well understood and few auxiliary factors have been described so far. In this study, we report the functional characterization of CGL20 (CONSERVED ONLY IN THE GREEN LINEAGE20) in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtCGL20) a small, proline-rich protein which is targeted to mitochondria and chloroplasts. In Arabidopsis, CGL20 is encoded by segmentally duplicated genes of high similarity (AtCGL20A and AtCGL20B), and inactivation of both in the atcgl20ab mutant leads to a visible virescent phenotype, and growth arrest at low temperature. The chloroplast proteome, thylakoid complex abundance and pigment composition are significantly affected in atcgl20ab mutants, resulting in a combined proton gradient regulation (pgr) and chlororespiratory reduction (crr) phenotype. Loss of AtCGL20 alters plastid rRNA ratios, perturbs the formation of a hidden break in 23S rRNA and causes abnormal accumulation of 50S ribosomal subunits in the high-molecular-mass fraction of chloroplast stromal extracts. Moreover, AtCGL20A-eGFP fusion proteins comigrate with 50S ribosomal subunits in sucrose density gradients, even after RNase treatment of stromal extracts. Therefore, we propose that AtCGL20 participates in late stages of the biogenesis of 50S ribosomal subunits in plastids – a role which presumably evolved in the green lineage as a consequence of structural divergence of plastid ribosomes.

Project description:Protein production by the ribosomes is fundamental to life and proper assembly of the ribosome is required for protein production. The RNA, which is post-transcriptionally modified, provides the platform for ribosome assembly. Thus, a complete understanding of ribosome assembly requires the determination of the RNA post-transcriptional modifications in all the ribosome assembly intermediates and on each pathway. There are 26 RNA post-transcriptional modifications in 23S RNA of the mature Escherichia coli (E.coli) large ribosomal subunit. The levels of these modifications have been investigated extensively only for a small number of large subunit intermediates and under a limited number of cellular and environmental conditions. In this study we determine the level of incorporations of 2-methyl adenosine, 3-methyl pseudouridine, 5-hydroxycytosine and eight pseudouridines in an early-stage E.coli large subunit assembly intermediate with a sedimentation coefficient of 27S. The 27S intermediate is one of three large subunit intermediates accumulated in E.coli cells lacking the DEAD-box RNA helicase DbpA and expressing the helicase inactive R331A DbpA construct. The majority of the investigated modifications are incorporated into the 27S large subunit intermediate to similar levels as in the mature 50S large subunit, indicating that these early modifications or the enzymes that incorporate them have important roles in the initial events of large subunit ribosome assembly.

Project description:Human mitoribosomes are macromolecular complexes essential for translation of 11 mitochondrial mRNAs. The large and the small mitoribosomal subunits undergo a multistep maturation process that requires the involvement of several factors. Among these factors, GTP-binding proteins (GTPBPs) play an important role as GTP hydrolysis can provide energy throughout the assembly stages. In bacteria, many GTPBPs are needed for the maturation of ribosome subunits and, of particular interest for this study, ObgE has been shown to assist in the 50S subunit assembly. Here, we characterize the role of a related human Obg-family member, GTPBP5. We show that GTPBP5 interacts specifically with the large mitoribosomal subunit (mt-LSU) proteins and several late-stage mitoribosome assembly factors, including NSUN4-MTERF4 complex, MRM2 methyltransferase, MALSU1 and MTG1. Interestingly, we find that interaction of GTPBP5 with the mt-LSU is compromised in the presence of a non-hydrolyzable analog of GTP, suggesting a different mechanism of action of this protein in contrast to that of other Obg-family GTPBPs. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated GTPBP5 ablation leads to severe impairment in the oxidative phosphorylation system, concurrent with a decrease in mitochondrial translation, reduced monosome formation and elevated levels of certain mitoribosome assembly factors. Overall, our data indicate an important role of GTPBP5 in mitochondrial function and suggest its involvement in the late-stage maturation of the mt-LSU maturation.
