Project description:Mitochondrial gene expression needs to be balanced with cytosolic translation to produce oxidative phosphorylation complexes. In yeast, translational feedback loops involving lowly expressed proteins called translational activators help to achieve this balance. Synthesis of cytochrome b (Cytb or COB), a core subunit of complex III in the respiratory chain, is controlled by three translational activators and the assembly factor Cbp3-Cbp6. However, the molecular interface between the COB translational feedback loop and complex III assembly are yet unknown. Here, using protein-proximity mapping combined with selective mitoribosome profiling, we reveal the components and dynamic interaction of the molecular switch controlling COB translation. Specifically, we demonstrate that Mrx4, a previously uncharacterized ligand of the mitoribosomal polypeptide tunnel exit, interacts with either the assembly factor Cbp3-Cbp6 or with the translational activator Cbs2. These reciprocal interactions determine whether the translational activator complex with bound COB mRNA can interact with the mRNA channel exit on the small ribosomal subunit for translation initiation. Organization of the feedback loop at the tunnel exit therefore orchestrates mitochondrial translation regulation with respiratory chain biogenesis.

Project description:Understanding the conformational sampling of translation-arrested ribosome nascent chain complexes is key to understand co-translational folding. Up to now, coupling of cysteine oxidation, disulfide bond formation and structure formation in nascent chains has remained elusive. Here, we investigate the eye-lens protein γB-crystallin in the ribosomal exit tunnel. Using mass spectrometry, theoretical simulations, dynamic nuclear polarization-enhanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and cryo-electron microscopy, we show that thiol groups of cysteine residues undergo S-glutathionylation and S-nitrosylation and form non-native disulfide bonds. Thus, covalent modification chemistry occurs already prior to nascent chain release as the ribosome exit tunnel provides sufficient space even for disulfide bond formation which can guide protein folding.

Project description:Continuous translation elongation, irrespective of amino acid sequences, is a prerequisite for living organisms to produce their proteomes. However, the risk of elongation abortion is concealed within nascent polypeptide products. For example, negatively charged sequences with occasional intermittent prolines, termed intrinsic ribosome destabilization (IRD) sequences, destabilizes the translating ribosomal complex. Thus, some nascent chain sequences lead to premature translation cessation. Here, we show that most potential IRD sequences in the middle of open reading frames remain cryptic by two mechanisms: the nascent polypeptide itself that spans the exit tunnel and its bulky amino acid residues that occupy the tunnel entrance region. Thus, nascent polypeptide products have a built-in ability to ensure elongation continuity by serving as a bridge and thus by protecting the large and small ribosomal subunits from dissociation.

Project description:Proteostasis must be finely tuned in the nervous system, as it represents an essential feature of neurodevelopment, and dominant pathology in neurodegenerative disease. At the gateway of proteostasis is the ribosome; however, the architecture of ribosomal complexes in the developing mammalian brain has not been visualized. In this study, we analyze the molecular architecture of ex vivo embryonic and perinatal mouse neocortical ribosomes, revealing Ebp1 as a 60S peptide tunnel exit binding factor at near-atomic resolution by multiparticle cryo-electron microscopy. The impact of Ebp1 on the neuronal proteome was analyzed by pSILAC and BONCAT coupled mass spectrometry, implicating Ebp1 in neurite outgrowth proteostasis, with in vivo embryonic Ebp1 knockdown resulting in neurite outgrowth dysregulation. This study constitutes the first near-atomic resolution structure of actively translating ribosomes ex vivo from the nervous system, and visualizes Ebp1 as a chaperone of protein synthesis at the 60S peptide tunnel exit in neocortical neurogenesis.
