Project description:RNA-binding proteins control gene expression in cardiac fibroblasts during TGFb-driven fibrotic responses, including the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G2 (eIF4G2), which was known to facilitate alternative mRNA translation during cellular stresses. However, the precise role of eIF4G2 in cardiac fibroblast activation in response to fibrotic stress remains unclear. In this study, we found increased eIF4G2 protein levels in the hearts of heart failure patients and myocardial infarcted mice, as well as in TGFb-treated immortalized human and primary mouse cardiac fibroblasts. Depletion of eIF4G2 led to predominant translational downregulation of genes that are enriched in focal adhesion and extracellular matrix pathways. eIF4G2 knockdown reduced the proliferation, migration, and collagen secretion of TGFb-treated cardiac fibroblasts. Mechanistically, we found that the translation of IGFBP7 mRNA relies on eIF4G2, which is crucial for ECM production in response to pro-fibrotic stimuli. The interaction between eIF4G2 and a DEAD box RNA helicase DDX24 can regulate IGFBP7 protein expression in cardiac fibroblasts. Together, these findings suggest that the TGFb-eIF4G2-IGFBP7 axis establishes a novel translational regulatory circuit that governs cardiac fibroblast activation. Furthermore, conditional knockout of Eif4g2 in POSTN-positive myofibroblasts reduced cardiac fibrosis in the myocardial infarction mouse model, thus improving cardiac function. Our study provides insights into the molecular mechanism of eIF4G2-mediated translational regulation of crucial physiological mRNAs during cardiac fibroblast activation.

Project description:Learning and memory require activity-induced changes in dendritic translation, but which messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are involved and how they are regulated are unclear. Here, to monitor how depolarization impacts local dendritic biology, we employed a dendritically-targeted proximity labeling approach, followed by cross-linking immunoprecipitation (CLIP), ribosome profiling, and mass spectrometry. Depolarization of primary cortical neurons with KCl or the glutamate agonist DHPG causes rapid reprogramming of dendritic protein expression, where changes in dendritic mRNAs and proteins are weakly correlated. For a subset of pre-localized messages, depolarization increases translation of upstream open reading frames (uORFs) and their downstream coding sequences, enabling localized production of proteins involved in long term potentiation, cell signaling, and energy metabolism. This activity-dependent translation is accompanied by the phosphorylation and recruitment of the non-canonical translation initiation factor eIF4G2, and the translated uORFs are sufficient to confer depolarization-induced, eIF4G2-dependent translational control. These studies uncover an unanticipated mechanism by which activity-dependent uORF translational control by eIF4G2 couples activity to local dendritic remodeling.

Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression, including regulation of RNA splicing, transport, modification, translation, and degradation, primarily relies on RNA binding proteins (RBPs). However, the functions of many RBPs remain understudied. Here, we characterized the function of a novel RBP, Proline-Rich Coiled-coil 2B (PRRC2B). Through photoactivatable ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) and deep sequencing, we identified transcriptome-wide CU- or GA-rich PRRC2B binding sites around the translation initiation codon on a specific cohort of mRNAs in HEK293T cells. These PRRC2B target mRNAs, including oncogenes and cell cycle regulators such as CCND2 (cyclin D2), exhibited decreased translation upon PRRC2B knockdown as revealed by sequencing polysome-associated RNA, resulting in decreased G1/S phase transition and cell proliferation. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) blocking PRRC2B-CCND2 mRNA interaction decreased CCND2 translation, thus inhibited G1/S transition and cell proliferation. Mechanistically, PRRC2B interactome capture analysis revealed RNA-independent interactions with eukaryotic initiation factors eIF4G2, eIF3, and FXR1. The interaction with eIF4G2 is essential for PRRC2B function since unlike wildtype PRRC2B, eIF4G2-interacting defective mutants failed to rescue the translation deficiency caused by PRRC2B knockdown. Taken together, our findings reveal that PRRC2B, by interacting with eIF4G2, is essential for efficient translation of specific proteins required for cell cycle progression and cell proliferation.

Project description:Learning and memory require activity-induced changes in mRNA translation within dendrites, but which mRNAs are involved and how they are regulated remain unclear. We combined proximity labeling with ribosome profiling and CLIP to monitor how depolarization impacts dendritic translation. For a functionally coherent set of transcripts highly enriched in mitochondrial genes, depolarization leads to enhanced uORF translation, eIF4G2 binding, and increased translation. Engineered reporters demonstrate that activity-dependent translational control is conferred by the 5’UTRs and that dendritic localization, eIF4G2 binding, and uORF translation are necessary and sufficient to mediate this regulation. Downstream, this drives activity-dependent changes in dendritic mitochondrial function. Our studies uncover an unanticipated mechanism by which activity-dependent uORF translational control by eIF4G2 enables the coupling of synaptic activity to local remodeling of dendrites.

Project description:Aberrant translation from mRNAs to proteins plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various cancers. Here, we revealed that the key proteins involved in translation were up-regulated in two hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cohorts. Specifically, we identified the translation initiation factor EIF4G2 as a marker of poor prognosis, linked to unfavorable overall survival (OS) outcomes. Our in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that EIF4G2 promotes the development and metastasis of HCC. As an essential translation initiation factor, EIF4G2 knockdown disrupts polyribosome stability and inhibits nascent protein synthesis in the Huh-7 and MHCC97H cell lines. By com-paring the proteome and transcriptome of Huh-7 cells, we further identified PLEKHA1 as an essential target of EIF4G2 with IRES-dependent translation. PLEKHA1 was able to rescue the inhibitory effects of EIF4G2 knockdown on cell migration and invasion in both Huh-7 and MHCC97H cells. This research provides novel insights into the critical role of EIF4G2-dependent translation in cancer, where PLEKHA1 promotes HCC progression.

Project description:Microarray comparisons of polysome loading in wild-type Arabidopsis and eif3h mutant Goal: To find the target mRNAs that are translationally regulated by eIF3h. BACKGROUND: The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF3 has multiple roles during the initiation of translation of cytoplasmic mRNAs. However, the contributions of individual subunits of eIF3 to the translation of specific mRNAs remain poorly understood. RESULTS: Working with stable reporter transgenes in Arabidopsis thaliana it was demonstrated that the h subunit of eIF3 contributes to the efficient translation initiation of mRNAs harboring upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in their 5’ leader sequence. uORFs, which can function as devices for translational regulation, are present in over 30% of Arabidopsis mRNAs, and are enriched among mRNAs for transcriptional regulators and protein modifying enzymes. Microarray comparisons of polysome loading in wild-type and eif3h mutant plants revealed that eIF3h generally helps to maintain efficient polysome loading of mRNAs harboring multiple uORFs. Independently, eIF3h also boosted polysome loading of mRNAs with long coding sequences. Moreover, the lesion in eIF3h revealed a concerted upregulation of translation for specific functional subgroups of mRNAs, including ribosomal proteins and proteins involved in photosynthesis. CONCLUSIONS: The intact eIF3h protein contributes to efficient translation initiation on 5’ leader sequences harboring multiple uORFs, although mRNA features independent of uORFs were also implicated. Moreover, our data suggest that regulons of translational control can be revealed by mutations in generic translation initiation factors. Keywords: mutant, polysome, non-polysome
