Viral infection often triggers eukaryotic initiator factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation, leading to global 5'-cap-dependent translation inhibition. RSV encodes messenger RNAs (mRNAs) mimicking 5'-cap structures of host mRNAs and thus inhibition cap-dependent initiation would likely also reduce viral translation. We confirmed that limits widespread unexpectedly found the fraction ribosomes within polysomes increases during infection, indicating higher ribosome loading on infection. AU-rich transcripts are less efficiently translated under normal conditions become more efficient at recruiting ribosomes, similar transcripts. transcribed in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, where binding protein M2-1 has been shown bind shuttle them into cytoplasm. further demonstrated is polysomes, might deliver for

Summary Decelerated translation elongation caused by non-optimal codons can reduce mRNA stability through codon optimality-mediated degradation . A key element of this process is the coupling sensing usage with regulation efficiency and stability. We report that two paralog RNA-binding proteins (ZC3H7A ZC3H7B), which are only found in Chordates, preferentially bind to mRNAs enriched A/U at their wobble sites (A/U3 codons). ZC3H7A/B engage ribosomes lack factors induce or block initiation interactions CCR4-NOT GIGYF2/4EHP repressor complex, respectively. Depletion 4EHP impairs repression A/U3-rich mRNAs.

ABSTRACT Characterization of shared patterns RNA expression between genes across conditions has led to the discovery regulatory networks and novel biological functions. However, it is unclear if such coordination extends translation, a critical step in gene expression. Here, we uniformly analyzed 3,819 ribosome profiling datasets from 117 human 94 mouse tissues cell lines. We introduce concept Translation Efficiency Covariation (TEC), identifying coordinated translation types. nominate potential mechanisms driving regulation. TEC conserved cells helps uncover Moreover, our observations indicate that proteins physically interact are highly enriched for positive covariation at both translational transcriptional levels. Our findings establish as organizing principle mammalian transcriptomes.

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.

The degree to which translational control is specified by mRNA sequence poorly understood in mammalian cells. Here, we constructed and leveraged a compendium of 3,819 ribosomal profiling datasets, distilling them into transcriptome-wide atlas translation efficiency (TE) measurements encompassing >140 human mouse cell types. We subsequently developed RiboNN, multitask deep convolutional neural network, classic machine learning models predict TEs hundreds types from sequence-encoded features, achieving state-of-the-art performance (r=0.79 r=0.78 for mean TE across types). While the majority earlier solely considered 5′ UTR sequence, RiboNN integrates contributions full-length that UTR, CDS, 3′ respectively possess ~67%, 31%, 2% per-nucleotide information density specification TEs.

Abstract Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most clinically relevant vehicles for mRNA vaccines. Despite great successes, toxicity caused by high dose of lipid components still represents a challenge. The suboptimal loading efficiency in LNPs not only compromises vaccine’s efficacy but also heightens risk non-specific immune responses, accelerates clearance from bloodstream, and exacerbates side effects associated with carriers. These problems underscore urgent need improving to provide dose-sparing effects. Herein, we developed manganese ion (Mn²⁺) mediated enrichment strategy efficiently form high-density core, termed Mn-mRNA nanoparticle, which is subsequently coated lipids. resulting nanosystem, L@Mn-mRNA, achieved over twice compared conventional vaccine formulations (LNP-mRNA).
