A trypanosome-specific complex mediates late-stage processing of cytosolic LSU rRNA

ABSTRACT: Unlike most eukaryotes, Trypanosoma brucei processes its cytosolic large subunit (LSU) RNA into six fragments. The factors responsible for these processing events were previously unknown. Here, we identify TbLrRP1 and TbLrRP2 as essential components of this trypanosome-specific LSU RNA processing pathway. Each contains a single transmembrane domain and localizes to the ER membrane and the nuclear envelope, forming a heterodimeric complex. Depletion of either protein disrupts LSU RNA processing causing accumulation of unprocessed intermediates that are incorporated into translationally active cytosolic polysomes. This disruption impairs, but does not fully halt, growth of both procyclic and bloodstream form trypanosomes. The nuclease-related domain (NERD) of TbLrRP2 is essential for LSU RNA processing. Intriguingly, NERD-containing proteins were predicted to have DNase activity, however, our results suggest that the NERD of TbLrRP2 is a ribonuclease. In contrast, the DEDDh domain of TbLrRP1 is dispensable for LSU RNA processing, indicating it may have a scaffolding role. Both proteins require their transmembrane domains for full functionality. Our findings reveal a lineage-specific processing complex acting at a late stage of LSU RNA maturation highlighting the unique adaptations of trypanosomal cytosolic ribosome biogenesis.

Release of a nuclear ubiquitin-like protein activates proteasomal degradation of mislocalized hydrophobic mitochondrial proteins in trypanosomes

Project description:Mitochondrial protein import in the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei is mediated by the atypical outer membrane translocase ATOM. It consists of seven subunits including ATOM69, the import receptor for hydrophobic proteins. Ablation of ATOM69, but not of any other subunit, triggers a unique quality control pathway resulting in the proteasomal degradation of non-imported mitochondrial proteins. The process requires a protein of unknown function, an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the ubiquitin-like protein (TbUbL1), which all are recruited to the mitochondrion upon ATOM69 depletion. TbUbL1 is a nuclear protein, a fraction of which is released to the cytosol upon triggering of the pathway. Nuclear release is essential since cytosolic TbUbL1 can bind mislocalized mitochondrial proteins and likely transfers them to the proteasome. Mitochondrial quality control has previously been studied in yeast and metazoans. Finding such a pathway in the highly diverged trypanosomes suggests such pathways are an obligate feature of all mitochondria.

Trypanosomal Pam18/Pam16 and maxicircle replication – TbPam18 SILAC RNAiTrypanosomal Pam18/Pam16 and maxicircle replication – TbPam18 SILAC RNAi

Project description:Protein import and genome replication are essential processes for mitochondrial biogenesis and propagation. The J-domain proteins Pam16 and Pam18 regulate the presequence translocase of the mitochondrial inner membrane. In the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei, their counterparts are TbPam16 and TbPam18, which are essential for the procyclic form of the parasite, though not involved in mitochondrial protein import. Here, we show that during evolution, the two proteins have been repurposed to regulate the replication of maxicircles within the intricate kDNA network, the most complex mitochondrial genome known. TbPam18 and TbPam16 have inactive J-domains suggesting a function independent of heat shock proteins. However, their single transmembrane domain is essential for function. Pulldown of TbPam16 identifies a putative client protein, termed MaRF11, the depletion of which causes the selective loss of maxicircles, akin to the effects observed for TbPam18 and TbPam16. The level of MaRF11 is controlled by the mitochondrial proteasome. Thus, we propose a model for a membrane-bound regulatory circuit that controls maxicircle replication in response to an unknown nuclear signal. This model posits that MaRF11 directly mediates maxicircle replication, that its activity is regulated by the mitochondrial proteasome that its level is controlled by proteasomal digested that it is protected from degradation by binding to the TbPam18/TbPam16 dimer.

Structural transitions during yeast large ribosomal subunit maturation analyzed by tethered nuclease structure probing

Project description:Yeast large ribosomal subunit (LSU) precursors are subject to substantial changes in protein composition during their maturation due to coordinated transient interactions with a large number of ribosome biogenesis factors and due to the assembly of ribosomal proteins. These compositional changes go along with stepwise processing of LSU rRNA precursors and with specific rRNA folding events, as revealed by recent cryo-electron microscopy analyses of late nuclear and cytoplasmic LSU precursors. Here we aimed to analyze changes in the spatial rRNA surrounding of selected ribosomal proteins during yeast LSU maturation. For this we combined a recently developed tethered tertiary structure probing approach with both targeted and high-throughput readout strategies. Several structural features of late LSU precursors were faithfully detected by this procedure. In addition, the obtained data let us suggest that early rRNA precursor processing events are accompanied by a global transition from a flexible to a spatially restricted rRNA conformation. For intermediate LSU precursors, a number of structural hallmarks could be addressed which include the fold of the internal transcribed spacer between 5.8S rRNA and 25S rRNA, the orientation of the central protuberance and the spatial organization of the interface between LSU rRNA domains I and III.

Receptor-mediated recruitment of cytosolic J-proteins to the mitochondrial outer membrane promotes assembly of preprotein translocases

Project description:Mitochondria possess elaborate machineries for the import of preproteins from the cytosol. Cytosolic factors like Hsp70 chaperones and their co-chaperones, the J-proteins, guide preproteins to the mitochondrial surface. The translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane (TOM) forms the entry gate for precursor proteins. How proteins are delivered to the receptors Tom20, Tom22 and Tom70 is only understood in part. We identified the cytosolic J-protein Xdj1 as a specific interaction partner of the central receptor Tom22. Tom22 recruits Xdj1 to the mitochondrial surface to promote assembly of the TOM complex. A second J-protein of the cytosol, Djp1, binds to Tom70 to mediate biogenesis of the mitochondrial import (MIM) complex. Thus, by targeting distinct TOM receptors, cytosolic J-proteins promote the biogenesis of different mitochondrial preprotein translocases.

Pre-rRNA spatial distribution and functional organisation of the nucleolus

Project description:The multi-layered nucleolus serves as the primary site of ribosome biogenesis, where successive maturation of small (SSU) and large (LSU) ribosomal subunit precursors occur. However, the spatio-functional relationship between pre-rRNA processing and nucleolar substructures and how this adapts to changing cellular physiological demands have remained incompletely understood. Here, our spatiotemporal analyses revealed a compartment-specific ribosomal subunit processing in human nucleoli, with SSU processomes maintained in fibrillar center/dense fibrillar component/periphery dense fibrillar component (FC/DFC/PDFC) domains while LSU pre-rRNAs largely transited to PDFC/granular component (GC) regions. Slow proliferating cells exhibited unexpected 5' external transcribed space (5' ETS)-centered SSU processing impairment, accompanied by FC/DFC structural remodeling and retarded SSU outflux. Direct 5' ETS processing perturbation at least partially recapitulated these FC/DFC alterations, supporting the functional interdependence between SSU processing and nucleolar architecture. Notably, anamniote bipartite nucleoli with merged FC/DFC compartments, exhibited distinct 5' ETS distribution and slower pre-rRNA flux compared to multi-layered nucleoli in amniotes. Introducing a FC/DFC interface to bipartite nucleoli enhanced processing efficiency, indicating that evolutionary emergence of nested FC/DFC may have optimized pre-rRNA processing. Collectively, depicting the spatiotemporal distribution of pre-rRNAs revealed an essential role of 5' ETS-centered SSU processing in maintaining nucleolar substructures and suggested a possible evolutionary advantage of the multi-layered structure in amniotes.
