Project description:The ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) is a surveillance system for aberrant translation, sensing ribosome collisions. Although the molecular mechanism has been extensively studied, the endogenous targets of RQC in human cells were poorly understood. Here, starting from the study of codon specificity of eukaryotic termination factor eRF1, we unexpectedly find that misrecognition of UUA sense codon by eRF1 leads to ribosome collisions and provides the source of RQC substrates in humans. eRF1-selective Monosome-Seq and Disome-Seq reveal that eRF1 recruitment to ribosome was not restricted to the stop codons but also the sub-cognate sense codons, including the UUA codon. The UUA misrecognition by eRF1 causes ribosome collision without termination reaction. Remarkably, Disome-Seq with the depletion of ASCC3 and 4EHP, key factors in RQC, showed that ribosome stalled at UUA codons are the predominant sub-populations rescued by RQC. Failure to resolve ribosome collisions by RQC triggers p38 phosphorylation and upregulation of stress response transcription factor ATF3. This study presents the impact of sense codon misrecognition by the termination factor on translation homeostasis in human cells.

Project description:Cells regulate protein synthesis in response to fluctuating nutrient availability through highly coordinated mechanisms that affect both translation initiation and elongation. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) - leucine, isoleucine, and valine - are essential nutrients with a significant impact on cellular physiology. However, how their simultaneous depletion affects the translational machinery and dynamics remains largely unclear. Here, we examine the immediate effects of short-term BCAA limitation on translational dynamics in mammalian cells. We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq) on NIH3T3 cells subjected to single, double, or triple BCAA deprivation. Our analyses revealed increased ribosome dwell times in the deprived conditions, with especially strong stalling at all valine codons during valine and triple starvation, while leucine and isoleucine depletion triggered more moderate, codon-specific effects. Notably, isoleucine-specific stalling largely diminished under triple deprivation, likely due to early elongation bottlenecks at valine codons. Correlating these stalling events with tRNA charging levels revealed distinct tRNA isoacceptor regulation in each starvation condition. In addition, integrating proteome data showed that many proteins downregulated under BCAA deprivation harbor stalling sites, suggesting that compromised elongation contributes to decreased protein output. Together, these findings suggest that differential ribosome stalling under BCAA limitation reflects a balance between amino acid supply, tRNA charging dynamics, and stress pathway modulation, illustrating that codon usage biases can profoundly influence the global landscape of translation under nutrient stress.

Project description:Translation of mRNA into a polypeptide is terminated when the release factor eRF1 recognizes a UAA, UAG, or UGA stop codon in the ribosomal A site and stimulates nascent peptide release. However, stop codon readthrough can occur when a near-cognate tRNA outcompetes eRF1 in decoding the stop codon, resulting in the continuation of the elongation phase of protein synthesis. At the end of a conventional mRNA coding region readthrough allows translation into the mRNA 3’-UTR. Previous studies with reporter systems have shown that the efficiency of termination or readthrough is modulated by cis-acting elements other than stop codon identity, including two nucleotides 5’ of the stop codon, six nucleotides 3’ of the stop codon in the ribosomal mRNA channel, and stem-loop structures in the mRNA 3’-UTR. It is unknown whether these elements are important at a genome-wide level and whether other mRNA features proximal to the stop codon significantly affect termination and readthrough efficiencies in vivo. Accordingly, we carried out ribosome profiling analyses of yeast cells expressing wild-type or temperature-sensitive eRF1 and developed bioinformatics strategies to calculate readthrough efficiency, and to identify mRNA and peptide features which influence that efficiency. We found that the stop codon (nt +1 to +3), the nucleotide after it (nt +4), the codon in the P site (nt -3 to -1), and 3’-UTR length are the most influential features in the control of readthrough efficiency, while nts +5 to +9 and mRNA secondary structure in the 3’-UTR had milder effects. Additionally, we found low readthrough genes to have shorter 3’-UTRs compared to high readthrough genes in cells with thermally inactivated eRF1, while this trend was reversed in wild-type cells. Together, our results demonstrated the general roles of known regulatory elements in genome-wide regulation and identified several new mRNA or peptide features important for translation termination and readthrough.

Project description:We had found that non-optimal codon induced frameshifting translation coupled with NMD may play a crucial role in maintaining delicate need of mRNA from yeast to human. Our data suggests that NCFT also exist in human. We constructed eRF1-KD and UPF1-KD cell line and resort α-amanitin to treat cells in different time point, then transcriptionally profiled them to get the landscape of mRNA stability.

Project description:Deregulated mRNA translation in cancer is a source of aberrant protein production when tryptophan shortage is induced by anti-tumor immunity (refs). Tryptophan is decoded by only one codon, and currently the consequences of aberrant protein production in conditions of a shortage of amino acids decoded by multiple codons are unknown. Leucine is decoded by six codons, and its levels influence a variety of key processes in cancer, including the control of mTOR signaling (ref) and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (PMID: 28274951). Here, we show that both leucine deprivation and DNA damage elicit ribosomal stalling and subsequent aberrant protein production predominantly at one codon for leucine, UUA. Mechanistically, we found that the leucine tRNA lowest in abundance is causative for ribosomal stalling and aberrant protein production. In addition, UUA-induced aberrant protein production impacts the landscape of neoepitopes presented at the surface of cancer cells, which can elicit T-cell recognition and killing. Altogether, codon-specific induction of neoepitopes by chemotherapy and leucine diet opens up new avenues for the development of adoptive T cell therapies.

Project description:Stalling of the ribosomes on the mRNA has been linked to myriad of molecular and biological functions. While a multitude of algorithms predict codon-usage in ribosome profiling data, no tool exists to predict the context-specific stalling of ribosomes on transcripts. Combining these two features can reveal unprecedented insights in the ribosomal function and their usage across cells and conditions. To overcome this lack of tools to comprehensively analyze these features, we created Bumpfinder, a web-server, that provides comprehensive analytical details on differences in total ribosome occupancy on transcripts, ribosomal occupancy across codons, ribosome-stalling and the underlying causal amino-acids/codons, as well as collisions. Employing Bumpfinder on generated and publicly available ribosome-profiling datasets, we studied the response of various cell types to amino-acid starvation conditions. We observed interesting patterns in response to the biological effects, suggesting the impact of quality control mechanisms of protein synthesis. Complimentary analysis of collided ribosomes demonstrated phased ribosome stalling on the identified sites. Thus, by deciphering context-specific ribosome distribution, Bumpfinder provides unprecedented molecular insights in the ribosome function and mRNA translation during stress response conditions.
