The ribosomal P-stalk regulates MHC I antigen presentation


ABSTRACT: MHC I antigen processing and presentation (APP) is a highly regulated process that enables CD8+ T cell immunosurveillance. APP begins with the ribosomal synthesis of a source antigen, yet the role of ribosomes, particularly specialized ribosomes, in antigen presentation is poorly understood. Here, we show that the presence of the “P-stalk” on the ribosome enhances antigen presentation. The addition of the P-stalk to the ribosome is stimulated by cytokines that upregulate APP components, and knockdown of one of the P-stalk proteins (P1) reduces T cell recognition of tumor cells. Mechanistically, we show that P1-containing ribosomes exhibit enhanced translation of MHC class I molecules and accessory APP components. Finally, analysis of patient data reveals that the mRNA expression of the P-stalk proteins positively correlates with CD8+ T cell infiltration, a trend not seen for other ribosomal proteins. In all, we demonstrate that the presence of the P-stalk defines a specialized ribosome population that enhances antigen presentation, something that may be exploited by cancer cells to escape immunosurveillance.

Inflammatory cytokines are pivotal to immune responses. Upon cytokine exposure, cells enter an "alert state" that enhances their visibility to the immune system. Here, we identified an alert-state subpopulation of ribosomes defined by the presence of the P-stalk. We show that P-stalk ribosomes (PSRs) are formed in response to cytokines linked to tumor immunity, and this is at least partially mediated by P-stalk phosphorylation. PSRs are involved in the preferential translation of mRNAs vital for  ...[more]
