Initiation of Quality Control during Poly(A) Translation Requires Site-Specific Ribosome Ubiquitination
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diverse cellular stressors have been observed to trigger site-specific ubiquitination on several ribosomal proteins. However, the ubiquitin ligases, biochemical consequences, and physiologic pathways linked to these modifications are not known. Here, we show in mammalian cells that the ubiquitin ligase ZNF598 is required for ribosomes to terminally stall during translation of poly(A) sequences. ZNF598-mediated stalling initiated the ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) pathway for degradation of nascent truncated proteins. Biochemical ubiquitination reactions identified two sites of mono-ubiquitination on the 40S protein eS10 as the primary ribosomal target of ZNF598. Cells lacking ZNF598 activity or containing ubiquitination-resistant eS10 ribosomes failed to stall efficiently on poly(A) sequences. In the absence of stalling, read-through of poly(A) produces a poly-lysine tag, which might alter the localization and solubility of the associated protein. Thus, ribosome ubiquitination can modulate translation elongation and impacts co-translational quality control to minimize production of aberrant proteins.

microRNAs stimulate translation initiation mediated by HCV-like IRESes
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that control gene expression by recognizing and hybridizing to a specific sequence generally located in the 3΄ untranslated region (UTR) of targeted mRNAs. miRNA-induced inhibition of translation occurs during the initiation step, most probably at the level of ribosome scanning. In this process, the RNA-induced silencing complex interacts both with P...

The mechanisms that couple translation and protein processing are poorly understood in higher eukaryotes. Although mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) controls translation initiation, the function of mTORC2 in protein synthesis remains to be defined. In this study, we find that mTORC2 can colocalize with actively translating ribosomes and can stably interact with rpL23a, a l...

No-go decay (NGD) is a eukaryotic quality control mechanism that evolved to cope with translational arrests. The process is characterized by an endonucleolytic cleavage near the stall sequence, but the mechanistic details are unclear. Our analysis of cleavage sites indicates that cleavage requires multiple ribosomes on the mRNA. We also show that reporters harboring stall sequences near the ini...

Eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) function at multiple steps. They enable the small 40S ribosome subunit to bind to initiator tRNA and mRNA, and scan to and select an initiation codon on the mRNA. They facilitate joining of the large 60S ribosome subunit, at which point the initiation phase of translation ends with the initiator tRNA in the P (peptidyl) site, and the ribosome poi...

The two enteroviral proteinases, 2A proteinase (2A(pro)) and 3C proteinase (3C(pro)), induce host cell translation shutoff in enterovirus-infected cells by cleaving canonical translation initiation factors. Cleavage of poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) by 3C(pro) has been shown to be a necessary component for host translation shutoff. Here we show that 3C(pro) inhibits cap-independent translation ...
