RESUMO

Ribosome biogenesis is one of the biggest consumers of cellular energy. More than 20 genetic diseases (ribosomopathies) and multiple cancers arise from defects in the production of the 40S (SSU) and 60S (LSU) ribosomal subunits. Defects in the production of either the SSU or LSU result in p53 induction through the accumulation of the 5S RNP, an LSU assembly intermediate. While the mechanism is understood for the LSU, it is still unclear how SSU production defects induce p53 through the 5S RNP since the production of the two subunits is believed to be uncoupled. Here, we examined the response to SSU production defects to understand how this leads to the activation of p53 via the 5S RNP. We found that p53 activation occurs rapidly after SSU production is blocked, prior to changes in mature ribosomal RNA (rRNA) levels but correlated with early, middle and late SSU pre-rRNA processing defects. Furthermore, both nucleolar/nuclear LSU maturation, in particular late stages in 5.8S rRNA processing, and pre-LSU export were affected by SSU production defects. We have therefore uncovered a novel connection between the SSU and LSU production pathways in human cells, which explains how p53 is induced in response to SSU production defects.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic challenges national health systems and the global economy. Monitoring of infection rates and seroprevalence can guide public health measures to combat the pandemic. This depends on reliable tests on active and former infections. Here, we set out to develop and validate a specific and sensitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels. METHODS: In our ELISA, we used SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) and a stabilized version of the spike (S) ectodomain as antigens. We assessed sera from patients infected with seasonal coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 and controls. We determined and monitored IgM-, IgA- and IgG-antibody responses towards these antigens. In addition, for a panel of 22 sera, virus neutralization and ELISA parameters were measured and correlated. RESULTS: The RBD-based ELISA detected SARS-CoV-2-directed antibodies, did not cross-react with seasonal coronavirus antibodies and correlated with virus neutralization (R2 = 0.89). Seroconversion started at 5 days after symptom onset and led to robust antibody levels at 10 days after symptom onset. We demonstrate high specificity (99.3%; N = 1000) and sensitivity (92% for IgA, 96% for IgG and 98% for IgM; > 10 days after PCR-proven infection; N = 53) in serum. CONCLUSIONS: With the described RBD-based ELISA protocol, we provide a reliable test for seroepidemiological surveys. Due to high specificity and strong correlation with virus neutralization, the RBD ELISA holds great potential to become a preferred tool to assess thresholds of protective immunity after infection and vaccination.
