A nascent polypeptide domain that can regulate translation elongation.
The evolutionarily conserved fungal arginine attenuator peptide (AAP), as a nascent peptide, stalls the translating ribosome in response to the presence of a high concentration of the amino acid arginine. Here we examine whether the AAP maintains regulatory function in fungal, plant, and animal cell-free translation systems when placed as a domain near the N terminus or internally within a larg...
متن کاملTranslation elongation can control translation initiation on eukaryotic mRNAs.
Synonymous codons encode the same amino acid, but differ in other biophysical properties. The evolutionary selection of codons whose properties are optimal for a cell generates the phenomenon of codon bias. Although recent studies have shown strong effects of codon usage changes on protein expression levels and cellular physiology, no translational control mechanism is known that links codon us...
متن کاملTranslation arrest requires two-way communication between a nascent polypeptide and the ribosome.
When the export of E. coli SecM is blocked, a 17 amino acid motif near the C terminus of the protein induces a translation arrest from within the ribosome tunnel. Here we used a recently described application of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to gain insight into the mechanism of translation arrest. We found that the SecM C terminus adopted a compact conformation upon synthesis o...
متن کاملInhibiting translation elongation can aid genome duplication in Escherichia coli
Conflicts between replication and transcription challenge chromosome duplication. Escherichia coli replisome movement along transcribed DNA is promoted by Rep and UvrD accessory helicases with Δrep ΔuvrD cells being inviable under rapid growth conditions. We have discovered that mutations in a tRNA gene, aspT, in an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, AspRS, and in a translation factor needed for effici...
متن کاملReceptor for activated C kinase 1 stimulates nascent polypeptide-dependent translation arrest.
Nascent peptide-dependent translation arrest is crucial for the quality control of eukaryotic gene expression. Here we show that the receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) participates in nascent peptide-dependent translation arrest, and that its binding to the 40S subunit is crucial for this. Translation arrest by a nascent peptide results in Dom34/Hbs1-independent endonucleolytic cleavage ...
