Abstract Overlapping genes–wherein two different proteins are translated from alternative frames of the same DNA sequence–provide a means to stabilize an engineered gene by directly linking its evolutionary fate with that overlapped gene. However, creating overlapping pairs is challenging as it requires redesign both protein products accommodate overlap constraints. Here, we present new “ o verlapping, lternate- f rame insertion” (OAFI) method for genes insertion “inner” gene, encoded in alternate frame, into flexible region “outer” Using OAFI, create bacterial toxins within antibiotic resistance We show inner and outer retain functionality despite redesign, translation influenced position Additionally, selection alters permitted inactivating mutations can restrict horizontal transfer Overall, OAFI offers versatile tool synthetic biology, expanding applications stabilization biocontainment.

Proteins are molecular machines that provide structure and perform vital transport, signalling enzymatic roles. expressed by cells require tight regulation of their concentration, folding, localisation, modifications; however, this state protein homeostasis is continuously perturbed tissue-level stresses. While in healthy tissues able to buffer against these perturbations, for example, expression chaperone proteins, lost ageing, can lead aggregation characteristic folding diseases. Here, we review reports a progressive disconnect between transcriptomic proteomic during cellular ageing. We discuss how age-associated changes responses specific stressors the tissue microenvironment exacerbated loss ribosomal pausing, mistranslation.

Abstract Stalled ribosomes cause collisions, impair protein synthesis, and generate potentially harmful truncated polypeptides. Eukaryotic cells utilize the ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) no-go mRNA decay (NGD) pathways to resolve these problems. In yeast, E3 ubiquitin ligase Hel2 recognizes polyubiquitinates disomes trisomes at 40S ribosomal Rps20/uS10, thereby priming for further steps in RQC/NGD pathways. Recent studies have revealed high concentrations of unstressed cells, raising question whether how selects long-term stalled trisomes. This study presents quantitative analysis vivo-formed Hel2•ribosome complexes dynamics Hel2-dependent Rps20 ubiquitination Ubp2/Ubp3-dependent deubiquitination. Our findings show that occupancy progressively increases from translating monosomes We demonstrate with mono- or di-ubiquitinated independently RQC component Slh1, while those tri- tetra-ubiquitinated do not. Based on results, we propose a model which translates duration ribosome stalling into polyubiquitin chain length. mechanism allows distinction between transient stalling, providing machinery means select fatally over transiently ones.

Abstract Translational control is important in all life, but it remains a challenge to accurately quantify. When ribosomes translate messenger (m)RNA into proteins, they attach the mRNA series, forming poly(ribo)somes, and can co-localize. Here, we computationally model new types of co-localized ribosomal complexes on identify them using enhanced translation complex profile sequencing (eTCP-seq) based rapid vivo crosslinking. We detect long disome footprints outside regions non-random elongation stalls show these are linked initiation protein biosynthesis rates. subject disomes other artificial intelligence (AI) analysis construct new, accurate self-normalized measure translation, termed stochastic efficiency (STE). then apply STE investigate changes yeast undergoing glucose depletion.

Abstract During protein synthesis, organisms detect translation defects that induce ribosome stalling and result in aggregation. The Ribosome-associated Quality Control (RQC) complex, comprising TCF25, LTN1, NEMF, is responsible for identifying incomplete products from unproductive events, targeting them degradation. Although RQC disruption causes adverse effects on vertebrate neurons, data regarding mRNA/protein expression regulation across tissues are lacking. Employing high-throughput methods, we analyzed public datasets to explore gene phenotypes. Our findings revealed widespread of components human tissues; however, silencing yielded only mild negative cell growth. Notably, TCF25 exhibited elevated mRNA levels were not reflected the content. We experimentally demonstrated this disparity arose post-translational degradation by proteasome. Additionally, observed cellular aging marginally influenced expression, leading reduced specific tissues. results suggest necessity all mammalian Nevertheless, when falters, alternative mechanisms seem compensate, ensuring survival under nonstress conditions.

Aberrant translation causes ribosome stalling, which leads to the ubiquitination of ribosomal proteins and induces ribosome-associated quality control. As part this control process, E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF10 monoubiquitinates protein RPS3. Here, we demonstrate that RNF10-mediated RPS3 monoubiquitination antagonizes half-mer formation by promoting dissociation 40S subunits from ribosomes stalled during elongation. Interestingly, also promotes aberrant initiation. Moreover, levels are tightly coupled amount subunits. Knockdown RPS proteins, abrogates biogenesis, results in proteasomal degradation RNF10. Vice versa, knockdown RPL 60S accumulation initiating subunits, increased levels, monoubiquitination. a factor required for resolution events, is fundamental mechanism cells respond imbalances subunit stoichiometry.

The protein kinase Gcn2 and its effector Gcn1 are part of the general amino acid control signalling (GAAC) pathway best known in yeast for function maintaining homeostasis. Under limitation, becomes activated, subsequently increasing levels phosphorylated eIF2α (eIF2α-P). This leads to increased translation transcriptional regulators, such as Gcn4 ATF4 mammals, subsequent re-programming cell's gene transcription profile, thereby allowing cells cope with starvation. Xrn1 is involved RNA decay, quality processing. We found that co-precipitates Gcn2, suggesting these three proteins same complex. Growth under starvation conditions was dependent on but not Xrn1-ribosome association, this correlated reduced eIF2α-P levels. Constitutively active a growth defect due eIF2α-hyperphosphorylation, we phenotype independent Xrn1, xrn1 deletion does enhance de-phosphorylation. Our study provides evidence required efficient activation, directly or indirectly. Thus, have uncovered potential new link between metabolism GAAC.
