Ribosomal protein S1 binds mRNA and tmRNA similarly but plays distinct roles in translation of these molecules

Abstract

Ribosomes stalled during protein synthesis can be rescued by tmRNA, which acts first as a tRNA and then as an mRNA to direct addition of a C-terminal degradation tag to the nascent polypeptide. Ribosomal protein S1 binds tmRNA, but its functional role in tmRNA-mediated tagging is uncertain. To probe interactions between S1 and tmRNA, truncated variants missing one or more of the six contiguous S1 domains were studied. The third S1 domain (R1) plays a critical role in binding tmRNA and mRNA but requires additional N- or C-terminal S1 domains. The binding of S1 and its fragments to tmRNA and mRNA is positively cooperative, and the essential role of the R1 domain may be to mediate protein-protein interactions. Overproduction of N-terminal fragments of S1 in Escherichia coli displaces endogenous S1 from ribosomes, inhibits general protein synthesis, and slows growth but causes little if any disruption of tmRNA-mediated tagging. Moreover, tagging of proteins translated from model mRNAs with either no or an increased requirement for S1 is indistinguishable. These results raise the possibility that S1 plays little or no role in tmRNA-mediated tagging.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
