The pioneer round of translation plays a role in translation initiation of newly spliced and exon junction complex (EJC)-bound mRNAs. Nuclear cap-binding protein complex CBP80/20 binds to those mRNAs at the 5'-end, recruiting translation initiation complex. As a consequence of the pioneer round of translation, the bound EJCs are dissociated from mRNAs and CBP80/20 is replaced by the cytoplasmic cap-binding protein eIF4E. Steady-state translation directed by eIF4E allows for an immediate and rapid response to changes in physiological conditions. Here, we show that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), which restricts only to the pioneer round of translation but not to steady-state translation, efficiently occurs even during serum starvation, in which steady-state translation is drastically abolished. Accordingly, CBP80 remains in the nucleus and processing bodies are unaffected in their abundance and number in serum-starved conditions. These results suggest that mRNAs enter the pioneer round of translation during serum starvation and are targeted for NMD if they contain premature termination codons. 相似文献

A well-established feature of the translation initiation region, which attracts the ribosomes to the prokaryotic mRNAs, is a purine rich area called Shine/Dalgarno sequence (SD). There are examples of various other sequences, which despite having no similarity to an SD sequence are capable of enhancing and/or initiating translation. The mechanisms by which these sequences affect translation remain unclear, but a base pairing between mRNA and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is proposed to be the likely mechanism. In this study, using a computational approach, we identified a non-SD signal found specifically in the translation initiation regions of Escherichia coli mRNAs, which contain super strong SD sequences. Nine of the 11 E. coli translation initiation regions, which were previously identified for having super strong SD sequences, also contained six or more nucleotides complementary to box-17 on the 16S rRNA (nucleotides 418-554). Mutational analyses of those initiation sequences indicated that when complementarity to box-17 was eliminated, the efficiency of the examined sequences to mediate the translation of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) mRNA was reduced. The results suggest that mRNA sequences with complementarity to box-17 of 16S rRNA may function as enhancers for translation in E. coli. 相似文献

Dengue virus utilizes a novel strategy for translation initiation when cap-dependent translation is inhibited 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Viruses have developed numerous mechanisms to usurp the host cell translation apparatus. Dengue virus (DEN) and other flaviviruses, such as West Nile and yellow fever viruses, contain a 5' m7GpppN-capped positive-sense RNA genome with a nonpolyadenylated 3' untranslated region (UTR) that has been presumed to undergo translation in a cap-dependent manner. However, the means by which the DEN genome is translated effectively in the presence of capped, polyadenylated cellular mRNAs is unknown. This report demonstrates that DEN replication and translation are not affected under conditions that inhibit cap-dependent translation by targeting the cap-binding protein eukaryotic initiation factor 4E, a key regulator of cellular translation. We further show that under cellular conditions in which translation factors are limiting, DEN can alternate between canonical cap-dependent translation initiation and a noncanonical mechanism that appears not to require a functional m7G cap. This DEN noncanonical translation is not mediated by an internal ribosome entry site but requires the interaction of the DEN 5' and 3' UTRs for activity, suggesting a novel strategy for translation of animal viruses. 相似文献

Correlation Between the Antiviral Effect of Interferon Treatment and the Inhibition of In Vitro mRNA Translation in Noninfected L cells 总被引:13,自引:5,他引:8 下载免费PDF全文
When noninfected L-cell suspension cultures are treated with interferon (specific activities superior to 10(6) reference units per mg of protein), the cell-free cytoplasmic extracts obtained are inactive for the translation of exogenous natural mRNAs. The dose-response curve shows that comparable amounts of interferon are required to produce a 50% reduction of Mengo virus multiplication in vivo and Mengo RNA translation in vitro. With higher doses of interferon, Mengo RNA translation is completely abolished, while poly U translation and endogenous protein synthesis are only slightly affected. The inactivation of Mengo RNA translation is reversible; after removal of interferon, normal translation activity is regained together with the ability to support Mengo virus multiplication. Fractionation of the cell-free extracts shows that the effect is localized in the fraction which can be washed off the ribosomes by high salt. These results establish that interferon induces a block in genetic translation in noninfected L cells. 相似文献

Cell-cycle-dependent translational control 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Control of translation in eukaryotes occurs mainly at the initiation step. Translation rates in mammals are robust in the G1 phase of the cell cycle but are low during mitosis. These changes correlate with the activity of several canonical translation initiation factors, which is modulated during the cell cycle to regulate translation. 相似文献

The luteovirus genome consists of a single RNA from which genes are expressed via subgenomic mRNAs and a variety of noncanonical translation events. We propose mechanisms of subgenomic RNA synthesis that accommodate the frequent recombination that has occurred at the termini of genomic and subgenomic RNAs. Luteoviral genes are translated by cap-independent translation, leaky scanning, ribosomal frameshifting, and stop-codon readthrough. Using the PAV barley yellow dwarf luteovirus as a model, we find that most of these translation events are controlled by sequences located hundreds to thousands of bases downstream in the viral genome. These signals are unprecedented in nature. A model is proposed in which a 3′ translational enhancer regulates viral RNA translation throughout the infection cycle. 相似文献

Translation by the adenovirus tripartite leader: elements which determine independence from cap-binding protein complex. 下载免费PDF全文
The adenovirus tripartite leader is a 200-nucleotide-long 5' noncoding region which facilitates translation of viral mRNAs at late times after infection. The tripartite leader also confers the ability to initiate translation independent of the requirement for cap-binding protein complex or eIF-4F without any requirement for adenovirus gene products. To elucidate the manner by which the tripartite leader functions, the primary determinants of leader activity were investigated in vivo by testing a series of mutations expressed from transfected plasmids. The results of these experiments indicate that the tripartite leader does not promote internal ribosome binding, at least in a manner recently described for picornavirus mRNAs. In addition, despite an unusual arrangement of sequences complementary to the 3' end of 18S rRNA in the tripartite leader, we could find no evidence for involvement in its translation activity. Instead, our results are consistent with a model in which much of the first leader is maintained in an unstructured conformation which determines the ability of the tripartite leader to facilitate translation and bypass a normal requirement for eIF-4F activity. Several possible translation models are discussed, as well as the implications for translation of late viral mRNAs. 相似文献

Translation acrobatics: how cancer cells exploit alternate modes of translational initiation 下载免费PDF全文
Recent work has brought to light many different mechanisms of translation initiation that function in cells in parallel to canonical cap‐dependent initiation. This has important implications for cancer. Canonical cap‐dependent translation initiation is inhibited by many stresses such as hypoxia, nutrient limitation, proteotoxic stress, or genotoxic stress. Since cancer cells are often exposed to these stresses, they rely on alternate modes of translation initiation for protein synthesis and cell growth. Cancer mutations are now being identified in components of the translation machinery and in cis‐regulatory elements of mRNAs, which both control translation of cancer‐relevant genes. In this review, we provide an overview on the various modes of non‐canonical translation initiation, such as leaky scanning, translation re‐initiation, ribosome shunting, IRES‐dependent translation, and m6A‐dependent translation, and then discuss the influence of stress on these different modes of translation. Finally, we present examples of how these modes of translation are dysregulated in cancer cells, allowing them to grow, to proliferate, and to survive, thereby highlighting the importance of translational control in cancer. 相似文献

Translational control of growth factor and proto-oncogene expression 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Willis AE 《The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology》1999,31(1):73-86
Control of translation is now understood to be one of the major regulatory events in eukaryotic gene expression. Moreover there is evidence which suggests that aberrant expression of growth-related genes by translational mechanisms makes a significant contribution to cell transformation. However, the mechanisms which regulate translation of specific growth-related mRNAs have yet to be fully elucidated. The majority of these mRNAs have long 5' untranslated regions (UTRs) and three features which are important in translational control have been identified, namely (i) structured regions which inhibit the scanning mechanisms of translation, (ii) regulatory upstream open reading frames and (iii) internal ribosome entry segments which are capable of initiating cap-independent translation. In this review the translational regulation of specific mRNAs encoding growth factors and proto-oncogenes by these three mechanisms will be discussed, together with examples of altered translational regulation in neoplasia. 相似文献

Translation termination is involved in histone mRNA degradation when DNA replication is inhibited 下载免费PDF全文
The levels of replication-dependent histone mRNAs are coordinately regulated with DNA synthesis. A major regulatory step in histone mRNA metabolism is regulation of the half-life of histone mRNAs. Replication-dependent histone mRNAs are the only metazoan mRNAs that are not polyadenylated. Instead, they end with a conserved stem-loop structure, which is recognized by the stem-loop binding protein (SLBP). SLBP is required for histone mRNA processing, as well as translation. We show here, using histone mRNAs whose translation can be regulated by the iron response element, that histone mRNAs need to be actively translated for their rapid degradation following the inhibition of DNA synthesis. We also demonstrate the requirement for translation using a mutant SLBP which is inactive in translation. Histone mRNAs are not rapidly degraded when DNA synthesis is inhibited or at the end of S phase in cells expressing this mutant SLBP. Replication-dependent histone mRNAs have very short 3' untranslated regions, with the stem-loop located 30 to 70 nucleotides downstream of the translation termination codon. We show here that the stability of histone mRNAs can be modified by altering the position of the stem-loop, thereby changing the distance from the translation termination codon. 相似文献

Components of the cellular translation machinery are targets of caspase-mediated cleavage during apoptosis that correlates with the inhibition of protein synthesis, which accompanies apoptosis. Paradoxically, protein synthesis is required for apoptosis to occur in many experimental settings. Previous studies showed that two proteins that regulate apoptosis by controlling caspase activity, XIAP and Apaf-1, are translated by a unique, cap-independent mechanism mediated by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) that is used preferentially under conditions in which normal cap-dependent translation is repressed. We investigated the regulation of XIAP and Apaf-1 following UVC irradiation. We show that UVC irradiation leads to the inhibition of translation and cell death. Furthermore, IRES-mediated translation of Apaf-1, but not XIAP, is enhanced by UVC irradiation, and this increase in Apaf-1 translation correlated with cell death. The enhanced Apaf-1 IRES-mediated translation is caspase-independent but is negatively modulated by the eIF2alpha kinase protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase. These data suggest that progression of UV-induced apoptosis requires IRES-mediated translation of Apaf-1 to ensure continuous levels of Apaf-1 despite an overall suppression of protein synthesis. 相似文献

The DEAD-box protein Ded1 modulates translation by the formation and resolution of an eIF4F-mRNA complex 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The translation, localization, and degradation of cytoplasmic mRNAs are controlled by the formation and rearrangement of their mRNPs. The conserved Ded1/DDX3 DEAD-box protein functions in an unknown manner to affect both translation initiation and repression. We demonstrate that Ded1 first functions by directly interacting with eIF4G to assemble a Ded1-mRNA-eIF4F complex, which accumulates in stress granules. After ATP hydrolysis by Ded1, the mRNP exits stress granules and completes translation initiation. Thus, Ded1 functions both as a repressor of translation, by assembling an mRNP stalled in translation initiation, and as an ATP-dependent activator of translation, by resolving the stalled mRNP. These results identify Ded1 as a translation initiation factor that assembles and remodels an intermediate complex in translation initiation. 相似文献

Optimization of protein synthesis in isolated higher plant chloroplasts. Identification of paused translation intermediates 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Protein synthesis in isolated, intact pea chloroplasts was optimized and compared to translation within chloroplasts in vivo. Many polypeptides labeled with [35S]methionine in isolated intact chloroplasts did not comigrate with polypeptides which were labeled within chloroplasts in vivo. Antibodies to the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39) immunoprecipitated [35S]-labeled large subunit plus several lower-molecular-mass translation products of isolated chloroplasts. The lower-molecular-mass soluble translation products synthesized in pulse-labeled chloroplasts were converted into full-length large-subunit polypeptides during a subsequent chase period. This result suggests that many of the polypeptides observed in pulse-labeled chloroplasts are incomplete translation products which are the result of ribosome pausing at discrete points along chloroplast mRNAs. The pulse-chase technique was used to follow synthesis of the 34.5-kDa precursor of the psb A gene product and its processing to the mature 32-kDa polypeptide in isolated chloroplasts. Chloroplast translation profiles obtained using the pulse-chase assay were very similar to translation profiles obtained in vivo thus extending the utility of protein synthesis in isolated chloroplasts. 相似文献
