Project description:Ribosome biogenesis relies on a number of specific factors. Some of them are remarkably conserved, suggesting that they play essential roles even in distant evolutionary contexts. This is namely the case for the UPF0054 protein YBEY found in all bacteria, but also in many Eukarya. Proposed to act as an endoribonuclease processing the 3’ end of 16S rRNA, YBEY is critically required for translation in model bacteria and plant chloroplasts. However, ribosomal RNA processing pathways are poorly conserved between distant phyla, suggesting that YBEY may have another important function in ribosome biogenesis. We studied the human YBEY homologue and found that it localises in mitochondria. The human mitochondrial rRNAs are flanked by tRNA genes and thereby processed by mitochondrial RNase P and RNase Z, making other ribonucleases superfluous. Yet, CRISPR-mediated knockout of the YBEY gene resulted in a decrease of the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunits (SSU), abolished translation in the organelles and, as a result, led to the inability of the knockout cells to respire. Mapping the ends of the mitochondrial rRNAs revealed no processing defects. Similarly, although human YBEY did show robust RNase activity in vitro and in vivo, mutations in key catalytic residues did not abolish its ability to complement the knockout phenotypes. The analysis of the mitoribosomes identified a distinct set of SSU proteins, mostly located in the head and the platform, to be significantly depleted in the absence of YBEY, including uS11m, required for translation initiation. Importantly, uS11m was the only SSU protein found to directly interact with YBEY in vitro, in vivo and in situ, and forming a stable stoichiometric complex with YBEY. The sum of our data supports the model where YBEY functions primarily as an essential ribosome biogenesis factor by recruiting uS11m in order to complete the assembly of translationally active SSUs.

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis is a key cellular process involving numerous protein factors, some of which are deeply conserved. This is namely the case of the bacterial endoribonuclease YbeY, whose loss is associated with ribosomal abnormalities, profound changes in gene expression, altered metabolism and death. Surprisingly, YbeY is also widespread among eukaryotes. Here we provide an in-depth characterisation of the human YBEY homologue localising in mitochondria. We show that YBEY loss results in a severe mitochondrial phenotype and complete inability of mitochondria to translate proteins and, consequently, perform oxidative phosphorylation. Through interactions with the important disease protein p32 and other factors, YBEY functions to recruit the mitoribosomal protein uS11m to the nascent small subunit in order to complete the assembly of initiation-competent ribosomal particles. This likely conserved mechanism shows striking similarities with final stages of the cytosolic ribosome biogenesis and may provide an important late checkpoint before the mitoribosome engages in translation.

Project description:The aim was to evaluate the protein composition of human mitoribosomes in YBEY knockout cells. We compared the parental cell line HEK293T-REx with the YBEY knockout cells HEK293T-RExΔYBEY.

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis requires numerous trans-acting factors, some of which are deeply conserved. In Bacteria, the endoribonuclease YbeY is believed to be involved in 16S rRNA 3'-end processing and its loss was associated with ribosomal abnormalities. In Eukarya, YBEY appears to generally localize to mitochondria (or chloroplasts). Here we show that the deletion of human YBEY results in a severe respiratory deficiency and morphologically abnormal mitochondria as an apparent consequence of impaired mitochondrial translation. Reduced stability of 12S rRNA and the deficiency of several proteins of the small ribosomal subunit in YBEY knockout cells pointed towards a defect in mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis. The specific interaction of mitoribosomal protein uS11m with YBEY suggests that the latter helps to properly incorporate uS11m into the nascent small subunit in its late assembly stage. This scenario shows similarities with final stages of cytosolic ribosome biogenesis, and may represent a late checkpoint before the mitoribosome engages in translation.

Project description:Caloric restriction (CR) without malnutrition appears to mitigate many detrimental effects of aging, in particular the age-related decline in skeletal muscle mitochondrial function. Although the mechanisms responsible for this protective effect remain unclear, CR is commonly believed to increase mitochondrial biogenesis; a concept that is now demanding closer scrutiny. Here we show that lifelong CR in mice prevents age-related loss of mitochondrial function, measured in isolated mitochondria and permeabilized muscle fibers. We find that these beneficial effects of CR occur without increasing mitochondrial abundance. Furthermore, whole-genome expression profiling and large-scale proteomic surveys revealed expression patterns inconsistent with increased mitochondrial biogenesis. These observations, combined with lower protein synthesis rates support an alternative hypothesis that CR preserves mitochondrial function not by increasing mitochondrial biogenesis, but rather by decreasing mitochondrial oxidant emission, increasing antioxidant scavenging, thereby minimizing oxidative damage to cellular components. Cross-sectional comparison of skeletal muscle from young (8mo), old (24mo) and old caloric restricted mice, obtained from the colony maintained on behalf of the National Institute on Aging.

Project description:The antibiotics chloramphenicol (CHL) and oxazolidinones including linezolid (LZD) are known to inhibit mitochondrial translation. This can result in serious, potentially deadly, side effects when used therapeutically. Although the mechanism by which CHL and LZD inhibit bacterial ribosomes has been elucidated in detail, their mechanism of action against mitochondrial ribosomes has yet to be explored. CHL and oxazolidinones bind to the ribosomal peptidyl transfer center (PTC) of the bacterial ribosome and prevent incorporation of incoming amino acids under specific sequence contexts, causing ribosomes to stall only at certain sequences. Through mitoribosome profiling, we show that inhibition of mitochondrial ribosomes is similarly context-specific – CHL and LZD lead to mitoribosome stalling primarily when there is an alanine, serine, or threonine in the penultimate position of the nascent peptide chain. Our findings could help inform the rational development of future, less mitotoxic, antibiotics, which are critically needed in the current era of increasing antimicrobial resistance.

Project description:Small RNAs, including ta-siRNAs, play crucial roles in various processes in plants. Efforts have been made for decades to elucidate the biogenesis and function of ta-siRNAs. Though the key proteins involved in ta-siRNA biogenesis have been identified, the subcellular localization where ta-siRNAs are processed remains largely unexplored. Remarkably, non-coding TAS transcripts were reported to be bound by ribosomes, the machinery responsible for protein translation. Utilizing edited TAS genes in Arabidopsis, a combination of sRNA-seq, mRNA-seq, RIP-seq, and degradome-seq was employed to investigate the role of ribosomes in ta-siRNA biogenesis in this study. In the two-hit model, deletion of ribosome-binding regions resulted in a decrease in the abundance of intact TAS3 transcripts but did not significantly affect ta-siRNAs production or the efficiency of miRNA-guided cleavage. Conversely, the deletion of ribosome-binding regions led to a significant reduction in ta-siRNA abundance without affecting mRNA levels in the one-hit model. These findings indicate that in the two-hit model, ribosomes primarily stabilize TAS transcripts, while in the one-hit model, they suppress miRNA cleavage but facilitate subsequent processing. Collectively, this study proposes a model that ribosomes play distinct roles in the one-hit and two-hit models of ta-siRNA biogenesis, and provides a new angle to investigate the tangled connection between small RNAs, including miRNA and ta-siRNA, and translation.
