Cotranslational activity of the GroEL chaperonin

ABSTRACT: Various proteins in the cell begin to fold during synthesis at the ribosome, many with the assistance of molecular chaperones. While the cotranslational activity of ribosome-associated chaperones and Hsp70 is frequently studied, the role of Hsp60 chaperonins during protein synthesis remains poorly understood. Here, we studied the binding of E. coli chaperonin GroEL to ribosome-nascent chain complexes (RNCs), to understand GroEL activity during nascent chain (NC) synthesis and folding. Using biochemical reconstitution, structural proteomics and electron microscopy we describe the physical architecture of GroEL:RNC and ATP/BeFx-GroEL/ES:RNC complexes. We show that GroEL engages destabilised nascent chains on the inside of its cavity via the apical domains and disordered C-terminal tails. This GroEL:RNC complex can be capped by GroES on the NC-bound ring, with GroEL but not GroEL/ES binding promoting nascent chain destabilisation. Lastly, we observe that GroEL directly competes with Hsp70 for nascent chain binding. Our findings thus show that GroEL is a versatile chaperone which in addition to its well characterised post-translational activity can affect folding of nascent chains undergoing synthesis.

Structural proteomic analysis of folding intermediates of FLuc on the human ribosome

Project description:hRNC XL-MS: Protein biogenesis begins on the ribosome where nascent chains are expressed vectorially from their N- to C-terminus, and start to fold as mRNA is translated. How the context of protein synthesis influences protein folding is poorly understood, especially in eukaryotes. Here we describe novel methods for the generation, purification and analysis of stable, homogeneous ribosome-bound nascent chain complexes from human cells, with the goal of defining the co-translational folding pathway of the nascent polypeptide. As a model for eukaryotic protein biogenesis, we focused on Firefly luciferase, a conformationally labile multidomain protein. Luciferase refolds slowly from denaturant, but folds rapidly in the context of translation on 80S ribosomes. Using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, crosslinking-mass spectrometry and cryo-electron microscopy, we show that the human ribosome holds nascent chains in a partially unfolded state during synthesis, avoiding interdomain misfolding. This is in contrast to orthogonal bacterial RNCs, which show an overall more folded structure during synthesis, alluding to the differences observed in productive folding between the two ribosomes. Surprisingly, cotranslational folding is not strictly unidirectional. On both ribosomes, C-domain synthesis partially reverses prior folding in the N-domain. Our work facilitates a detailed mechanistic understanding of how multidomain proteins fold efficiently in human cells.

Project description:In order to explore the effect of betaine on NAFLD and its mechanism, we divided mice into high-fat diet (HF) and high-fat diet with betaine (HB) groups, and used N6-methyladenosine sequence (m6A-seq), RNA-seq and mRNAs bound to ribosome-nascent chain complex sequencing (RNC-seq) to evaluate the gene expression levels in the liver of each group.

Mechanism of chaperone coordination during cotranslational protein folding in bacteria

Project description:Protein folding is assisted by molecular chaperones that bind nascent polypeptides during mRNA translation. Several structurally-distinct classes of chaperone promote de novo folding, suggesting that their activities are coordinated at the ribosome. We used biochemical reconstitution and structural proteomics to explore the molecular basis for cotranslational chaperone action in bacteria. We found that chaperone binding is disfavoured close to the ribosome, allowing folding to precede chaperone recruitment. Trigger factor recognises compact folding intermediates exposing extensive unfolded surface and dictates DnaJ access to nascent chains. DnaJ uses a large surface to bind structurally diverse intermediates, and recruits DnaK to sequence-diverse solvent-accessible sites. Neither Trigger factor, DnaJ nor DnaK destabilize cotranslational folding intermediates. Instead, the chaperones collaborate to protect incipient structure in the nascent polypeptide well beyond the ribosome exit tunnel. Our findings show how the chaperone network selects and modulates cotranslational folding intermediates.

Analysis of stalled ribosome-nascent chain complexes by quantitative proteomics

Project description:The cellular environment is critical for efficient protein maturation, but how proteins fold during biogenesis remains poorly understood. To understand how the cellular environment modulates folding, we studied the cotranslational chaperone-assisted folding of Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). To sample folding intermediates along the pathway of vectorial synthesis, we prepared a series of stalled ribosome:nascent chain complexes (RNCs) representing snapshots of DHFR folding in vivo. Proteomic analysis of RNCs revealed their composition and allowed us to define chaperone interactions as a function of NC length. These data set the stage for further studies aimed at resolving the conformation of the nascent polypeptide on the ribosome.

Bacterial RF3 Senses Chaperone Function in Co-translational Folding

Project description:Molecular chaperones assist in protein folding by interacting with nascent polypeptide chains (NCs) during translation, but whether the ribosome can sense chaperone defects and abort translation of misfolding NCs has not been explored. Here we used quantitative proteomics in E. coli to investigate the ribosome-associated chaperone network and the consequences of its dysfunction. Trigger factor and the DnaK (Hsp70) system are the major NC-binding chaperones. HtpG (Hsp90), GroEL and ClpB contribute increasingly, when DnaK is deficient. Surprisingly, misfolding of NCs due to defects in co-translational chaperone function or amino acid analog incorporation, results in recruitment of the non-canonical release factor RF3 to the ribosome. RF3 then cooperates with RF2 in mediating premature chain termination of a subset of abundant NCs, allowing their efficient degradation. This function of RF3 reduces the accumulation of misfolded proteins. It is critical for proteostasis maintenance and cell growth under conditions of limited chaperone availability.
