摘要

Although some experiments suggest that the ribosome displays specificity for the identity of the esterified amino acid of its aminoacyl-tRNA substrate, a study measuring dissociation rates of several misacylated tRNAs containing the GAC anticodon from the A site showed little indication for such specificity. In this article, an expanded set of misacylated tRNAs and two 2-deoxynucleotide-substituted mRNAs are used to demonstrate the presence of a lower threshold in k(off) values for aa-tRNA binding to the A site. When a tRNA binds sufficiently well to reach this threshold, additional stabilizing effects due to the esterified amino acid or changes in tRNA sequence are not observed. However, specificity for different amino acid side chains and the tRNA body is observed when tRNA binding is sufficiently weaker than this threshold. We propose that uniform aa-tRNA binding to the A site may be a consequence of a conformational change in the ribosome, induced by the presence of the appropriate combination of contributions from the anticodon, amino acid and tRNA body.

Directed evolution of a cyclodipeptide synthase with new activities via label-free mass spectrometric screening

Songya Zhang, Jing Zhu, Shuai Fan, Wenhao Xie, Zhaoyong Yang, Tong Si

Summary: Directed evolution is a powerful method for engineering enzymes through iterative creation and screening of variant libraries. This study presents an automated workflow for directed evolution of new enzymatic activities using high-throughput library creation and label-free mass spectrometry screening. The approach was demonstrated by engineering a cyclodipeptide synthase to generate therapeutic compounds. The results show that this robotic, label-free mass spectrometry screening approach could be generally applicable to engineering enzymes with new activities in a high-throughput manner.

Identification of host tRNAs preferentially recognized by the Plasmodium surface protein tRip

Marta Cela, Anne Theobald-Dietrich, Joelle Rudinger-Thirion, Philippe Wolff, Renaud Geslain, Magali Frugier

Summary: The membrane protein tRip mediates the import of host tRNAs into the parasite, binding to a subset of human tRNAs with varying affinities. It is revealed that tRip does not bind specific tRNAs solely based on their primary sequence, suggesting post-transcriptional modifications play a role in modulating the host/parasite molecular complex formation. The study discusses the potential use of efficient tRip ligands for translating the parasite's genetic information.

N 2-methylguanosine modifications on human tRNAs and snRNA U6 are important for cell proliferation, protein translation and pre-mRNA splicing

Can Wang, Nathalie Ulryck, Lydia Herzel, Nicolas Pythoud, Nicole Kleiber, Vincent Guerineau, Vincent Jactel, Chloe Moritz, Markus T. Bohnsack, Christine Carapito, David Touboul, Katherine E. Bohnsack, Marc Graille

Summary: Modified nucleotides in non-coding RNAs play an important role in gene expression regulation. In this study, TRMT11, THUMPD3, and THUMPD2 were identified as direct partners of TRMT112, and their functions in tRNA and U6-snRNA modification were elucidated. TRMT11 and THUMPD3 methylate specific positions in tRNAs, while THUMPD2 is involved in the last 'orphan' modification in U6-snRNA. These findings demonstrate the importance of TRMT112 and its interacting partners in mRNA maturation and translation, as well as pre-mRNA splicing.

Tissue-specific expression atlas of murine mitochondrial tRNAs

Qiufen He, Xiao He, Yun Xiao, Qiong Zhao, Zhenzhen Ye, Limei Cui, Ye Chen, Min-Xin Guan

Summary: The study showed significant tissue-specific differences in mammalian mitochondrial tRNA expression, correlating with mtDNA contents but not with 2-thiouridylation levels of specific tRNAs. Aminoacylation levels of mt-tRNAs varied among tissues, with a negative correlation observed between levels and mitochondrial tRNA synthetases expression. Differential levels of OXPHOS subunits encoded by mtDNA or nuclear genes may reflect functional emphasis for mitochondria in each tissue.

N7-methylguanosine methylation of tRNAs regulates survival to stress in cancer

Raquel Garcia-Vilchez, Ana M. Anazco-Guenkova, Judith Lopez, Sabine Dietmann, Mercedes Tome, Sonia Jimeno, Mikel Azkargorta, Felix Elortza, Laura Barcena, Monika Gonzalez-Lopez, Ana M. Aransay, Manuel A. Sanchez-Martin, Pablo Huertas, Raul V. Duran, Sandra Blanco

Summary: Tumour progression and therapy tolerance depend largely on the plasticity of cancer cells. A study has found that N7-guanosine methylation (m7G) of tRNAs, regulated by METTL1, plays a crucial role in cancer cell survival under stress conditions. Loss of tRNA m7G methylation activates stress response pathways and sensitises cancer cells to stress, while reducing METTL1 expression inhibits tumour growth and increases cytotoxic stress in vivo. Targeting METTL1 could potentially enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy.

Structural basis for reduced ribosomal A-site fidelity in response to P-site codon-anticodon mismatches

Ha An Nguyen, Eric D. Hoffer, Crystal E. Fagan, Tatsuya Maehigashi, Christine M. Dunham

Summary: Rapid and accurate translation is crucial for producing functional proteins. The ribosome monitors the interaction between mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons to ensure fidelity in tRNA selection. The presence of a mismatched tRNA-mRNA pair in the ribosome triggers a reduction in fidelity, facilitating the recognition of sense codons and the degradation of aberrant peptides. Crystal structures of the ribosome reveal the mispositioning of mRNA nucleotides, potentially leading to premature termination.

Repurposing tRNAs for nonsense suppression

Suki Albers, Bertrand Beckert, Marco C. Matthies, Chandra Sekhar Mandava, Raphael Schuster, Carolin Seuring, Maria Riedner, Suparna Sanyal, Andrew E. Torda, Daniel N. Wilson, Zoya Ignatova

Summary: The researchers designed novel tRNAs that decode UGA stop codons in E. coli efficiently by optimizing the tRNA structure to enhance suppression activity. The study determined the ribosome structure bound to the designed tRNA with a UGA stop codon, showing that the conformation of the stop codon is influenced by distinct A-site ligands.

Uniform affinity-tuning of N-methyl-aminoacyl-tRNAs to EF-Tu enhances their multiple incorporation

Yoshihiko Iwane, Hiroyuki Kimura, Takayuki Katoh, Hiroaki Suga

Summary: This study experimentally verified that the incorporation efficiency of N-methyl-amino acids ((Me)AAs) into peptide chains is lower due to insufficient affinity of (Me)AA-tRNAs to EF-Tu. By engineering the T-stem sequence of tRNA to adjust the affinity of (Me)AA-tRNAs to EF-Tu, the uniform affinity-tuning of individual pairs successfully enhanced the incorporation of (Me)AAs into peptide scaffolds.

Active site remodelling of a cyclodipeptide synthase redefines substrate scope

Emmajay Sutherland, Christopher John Harding, Clarissa Melo Czekster

Summary: Cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPSs) generate a wide range of cyclic dipeptides using aminoacylated tRNAs as substrates. However, the substrate selection mechanism is not yet known. Here, the authors investigate the substrate promiscuity of two histidine-incorporating CDPSs to generate an extensive library of products which complement the chemical realm of histidine-containing cyclic dipeptides.

KH domain proteins: Another family of bacterial RNA matchmakers?

Mikolaj Olejniczak, Xiaofang Jiang, Maciej M. Basczok, Gisela Storz

Summary: In many bacteria, the stability and function of sRNAs are dependent on RNA chaperone proteins like Hfq or ProQ/FinO-domain proteins. However, some bacteria lack these chaperone proteins, leading to the investigation of KH domain proteins like KhpA and KhpB as potential sRNA chaperones. Therefore, these KH domain proteins may serve as sRNA chaperones in certain bacteria.
