Deciphering the reading of the genetic code by near-cognate tRNA

Project description:Some codons of the genetic code can be read not only by cognate, but also by near-cognate tRNAs. This flexibility is thought to be conferred mainly by a mismatch between the third base of the codon and the first of the anticodon (the so-called wobble position). However, this simplistic explanation underestimates the importance of nucleotide modifications in the decoding process. Using a system in which only near-cognate tRNAs can decode a specific codon, we investigated the role of six modifications of the anticodon, or adjacent nucleotides, of the tRNAs specific for Tyr, Gln, Lys, Trp, Cys and Arg in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Modifications almost systematically rendered these tRNAs able to act as near-cognate tRNAs at stop codons, even though they involve non-canonical base-pairs, without markedly affecting their ability to decode cognate or near-cognate sense codons. These findings reveal an important effect of modifications to tRNA decoding with implications for understanding the flexibility of the genetic code.

The RNA helicase Ded1p suppresses translation initiation from near-cognate start codons

Project description:The conserved and essential DEAD-box RNA helicase Ded1p from yeast and its mammalian ortholog DDX3 are critical for translation initiation. Mutations in DDX3 are linked to tumorigenesis and intellectual disability, and the enzyme is targeted by diverse viruses. How Ded1p and its orthologs engage RNAs to impact translation initiation has been a longstanding, unresolved question. Here we show that Ded1p associates with the pre-initiation complex at the mRNA entry channel of the small ribosomal subunit and that the helicase unwinds mRNA structure ahead of the scanning pre-initiation complex. Defective Ded1p causes pervasive translation in 5’UTRs, starting from near-cognate initiation codons located 5' of mRNA structures and concomitant decrease of protein synthesis from of the main ORFs. The data indicate that Ded1p functions to suppress translation initiation on near-cognate codons proximal to mRNA structure and show how the helicase is targeted to specific RNA sites without common sequence signatures. Our results reveal a straightforward mechanism for the activation of upstream open reading frames and suggest that mRNA structure and proximal near-cognate initiation codons encode a widespread regulatory program for translation initiation that is sensitive to RNA helicase function.

Deciphering the SUMO code in plants

Project description:Post-translational modification (PTM) events generate proteoforms that orchestrate cell signalling in almost every biological process. The SUMOcode project aims to understand a critically important but understudied PTM in plants, SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier). The rules governing specificity and function remain rudimentary for most PTMs, but the plant SUMO system provides a unique possibility to unravel the rules governing SUMOylation, as its core machinery comprises only 33 genes in Arabidopsis, compared with many hundreds for other PTMs. Our central hypothesis is that SUMO specificity is conferred through how cells are primed to respond to different stress signals, the tissue and cellular spatial distribution of SUMO machinery and substrates and control of SUMOylation modification via activation, repression and competition for PTM sites. Given the small numbers of genes involved in SUMOylation, we are in an excellent position to test our hypothesis employing state of the art multi-omics technologies to create the first SUMO Cell Atlas of any organism. Our ultimate goal is to 'enable' researchers and breeders to decipher the SUMO code in plants, enabling them to edit and rewrite the code, to develop crops that are future proofed against ongoing climate instability and change.
