RESUMO

The processing, membrane targeting and folding of newly synthesized polypeptides is closely linked to their synthesis at the ribosome. A network of enzymes, chaperones and targeting factors engages ribosome-nascent chain complexes (RNCs) to support these maturation processes. Exploring the modes of action of this machinery is critical for our understanding of functional protein biogenesis. Selective ribosome profiling (SeRP) is a powerful method for interrogating co-translational interactions of maturation factors with RNCs. It provides proteome-wide information on the factor's nascent chain interactome, the timing of factor binding and release during the progress of translation of individual nascent chain species, and the mechanisms and features controlling factor engagement. SeRP is based on the combination of two ribosome profiling (RP) experiments performed on the same cell population. In one experiment the ribosome-protected mRNA footprints of all translating ribosomes of the cell are sequenced (total translatome), while the other experiment detects only the ribosome footprints of the subpopulation of ribosomes engaged by the factor of interest (selected translatome). The codon-specific ratio of ribosome footprint densities from selected over total translatome reports on the factor enrichment at specific nascent chains. In this chapter, we provide a detailed SeRP protocol for mammalian cells. The protocol includes instructions on cell growth and cell harvest, stabilization of factor-RNC interactions, nuclease digest and purification of (factor-engaged) monosomes, as well as preparation of cDNA libraries from ribosome footprint fragments and deep sequencing data analysis. Purification protocols of factor-engaged monosomes and experimental results are exemplified for the human ribosomal tunnel exit-binding factor Ebp1 and chaperone Hsp90, but the protocols are readily adaptable to other co-translationally acting mammalian factors.

RESUMO

Protein synthesis must be finely tuned in the developing nervous system as the final essential step of gene expression. This study investigates the architecture of ribosomes from the neocortex during neurogenesis, revealing Ebp1 as a high-occupancy 60S peptide tunnel exit (TE) factor during protein synthesis at near-atomic resolution by cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM). Ribosome profiling demonstrated Ebp1-60S binding is highest during start codon initiation and N-terminal peptide elongation, regulating ribosome occupancy of these codons. Membrane-targeting domains emerging from the 60S tunnel, which recruit SRP/Sec61 to the shared binding site, displace Ebp1. Ebp1 is particularly abundant in the early-born neural stem cell (NSC) lineage and regulates neuronal morphology. Ebp1 especially impacts the synthesis of membrane-targeted cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), measured by pulsed stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (pSILAC)/bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) mass spectrometry (MS). Therefore, Ebp1 is a central component of protein synthesis, and the ribosome TE is a focal point of gene expression control in the molecular specification of neuronal morphology during development.

RESUMO

Many cellular RNAs require modification of specific residues for their biogenesis, structure, and function. 5-methylcytosine (m(5)C) is a common chemical modification in DNA and RNA but in contrast to the DNA modifying enzymes, only little is known about the methyltransferases that establish m(5)C modifications in RNA. The putative RNA methyltransferase NSUN6 belongs to the family of Nol1/Nop2/SUN domain (NSUN) proteins, but so far its cellular function has remained unknown. To reveal the target spectrum of human NSUN6, we applied UV crosslinking and analysis of cDNA (CRAC) as well as chemical crosslinking with 5-azacytidine. We found that human NSUN6 is associated with tRNAs and acts as a tRNA methyltransferase. Furthermore, we uncovered tRNA(Cys) and tRNA(Thr) as RNA substrates of NSUN6 and identified the cytosine C72 at the 3' end of the tRNA acceptor stem as the target nucleoside. Interestingly, target recognition in vitro depends on the presence of the 3'-CCA tail. Together with the finding that NSUN6 localizes to the cytoplasm and largely colocalizes with marker proteins for the Golgi apparatus and pericentriolar matrix, our data suggest that NSUN6 modifies tRNAs in a late step in their biogenesis.
