Paralogous Ribosomal Protein L32-1 and L32-2 in Fission Yeast May Function Distinctively in Cellular Proliferation and Quiescence by Changing the Ratio of Rpl32 Paralogs

چکیده
Fission yeast cells express Rpl32-2 highly while Rpl32-1 lowly in log phase; in contrast, expression of Rpl32-1 raises and reaches a peak level while Rpl32-2 is downregulated to a low basic level when cells enter into stationary phase. Overexpression of Rpl32-1 inhibits cell growth while overexpression of Rpl32-2 does not. Deleting rpl32-2 impairs cell growth more severely than deleting rpl32-1 does. Cell growth impaired by deleting either paralog can be rescued completely by reintroducing rpl32-2, but only partly by rpl32-1. Overexpression of Rpl32-1 inhibits cell division, yielding 4c DNA and multiple septa, while overexpressed Rpl32-2 promotes it. Transcriptomics analysis proved that Rpl32 paralogs regulate expression of a subset of genes related with cell division and stress response in a distinctive way. This functional difference of the two paralogs is due to their difference of 95(th) amino acid residue. The significance of a competitive inhibition between Rpl32 paralogs on their expression is discussed.

Reduction of ribosome level triggers flocculation of fission yeast cells.
Deletion of ribosomal protein L32 genes resulted in a nonsexual flocculation of fission yeast. Nonsexual flocculation also occurred when two other ribosomal protein genes, rpl21-2 and rpl9-2, were deleted. However, deletion of two nonribosomal protein genes, mpg and fbp, did not cause flocculation. Overall transcript levels of rpl32 in rpl32-1Δ and rpl32-2Δ cells were reduced by 35.9% and 46.9%...
متن کاملCharacterization of the pre-mRNA binding site for yeast ribosomal protein L32: the importance of a purine-rich internal loop.
The structure of the RNA binding target for Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomal protein L32 was examined using chemical and enzymatic probes as well as thermodynamic methods. In vivo, the production of yeast RPL32 is regulated by a feedback mechanism whereby RPL32 binds to the 5' end of its transcript and inhibits splicing. The binding site of ribosomal protein L32 on the L32 RNA transcript can ...
متن کاملYeast transcription factor IID participates in cell-free transcription of a mammalian ribosomal protein TATA-less promoter.
We analysed transcription of the gene for the ribosomal protein (rp) L32 of the mouse, which is transcribed in mouse L1210 nuclear extracts in vitro. The rpL32 gene lacks a canonical TATA box. Hence it has been suggested that this gene has an alternative transcription pathway not requiring transcription factor IID (TFIID). Selective inactivation of TFIID in nuclear extract completely abolished ...
متن کاملChloroplast ribosomal protein L32 is encoded in the chloroplast genome.
The 50 S subunit of chloroplast ribosomes was prepared from tobacco leaves. The proteins were fractionated and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of a 14 kDa protein was determined. This sequence matches the N-terminal sequence deduced from ORF55 located between ndhF and trnL on the small single-copy region of tobacco chloroplast DNA. The deduced protein shows homology to E. coli and B. stearot...
متن کاملAnalysis of potential expression of highly related members of the ribosomal protein L32 gene family.
The processed gene L32', a member of the mouse gene family for ribosomal protein L32, could encode a 135 amino acid protein nearly identical to L32. The 5'-flanking region of the gene contains CAAT and TATA sites at positions commonly found in expressed genes. The L32' gene lies within highly methylated, DNase I-insensitive chromatin of mouse L1210 cells. Although S1 nuclease digestion studies ...
