Structural basis for translational stalling by human cytomegalovirus and fungal arginine attenuator peptide.
Specific regulatory nascent chains establish direct interactions with the ribosomal tunnel, leading to translational stalling. Despite a wealth of biochemical data, structural insight into the mechanism of translational stalling in eukaryotes is still lacking. Here we use cryo-electron microscopy to visualize eukaryotic ribosomes stalled during the translation of two diverse regulatory peptides...
متن کاملA combined cryo-EM and molecular dynamics approach reveals the mechanism of ErmBL-mediated translation arrest
Nascent polypeptides can induce ribosome stalling, regulating downstream genes. Stalling of ErmBL peptide translation in the presence of the macrolide antibiotic erythromycin leads to resistance in Streptococcus sanguis. To reveal this stalling mechanism we obtained 3.6-Å-resolution cryo-EM structures of ErmBL-stalled ribosomes with erythromycin. The nascent peptide adopts an unusual conformati...
متن کاملRibosome occupancy of the yeast CPA1 upstream open reading frame termination codon modulates nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae CPA1 mRNA contains an upstream open reading frame (uORF) encoding the arginine attenuator peptide (AAP). Negative translational regulation of CPA1 occurs when the nascent AAP responds to arginine (Arg) by stalling ribosomes at the uORF termination codon. CPA1 expression is also controlled by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Using wild-type and decay-defective strains...
متن کاملNascent peptides that block protein synthesis in bacteria.
Although the ribosome is a very general catalyst, it cannot synthesize all protein sequences equally well. For example, ribosomes stall on the secretion monitor (SecM) leader peptide to regulate expression of a downstream gene. Using a genetic selection in Escherichia coli, we identified additional nascent peptide motifs that stall ribosomes. Kinetic studies show that some nascent peptides dram...
متن کاملInitiation of Quality Control during Poly(A) Translation Requires Site-Specific Ribosome Ubiquitination
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....
