The stalk is an essential domain of the large ribosomal subunit formed by a complex of a set of very acidic proteins bound to a core rRNA binding component. While in prokaryotes there is only one type acidic protein, L7/12, two protein families are found in eukaryotes, phosphoproteins P1 and P2, which presumably have different roles. To search for differences zero-length cross-linking by S-S bridge formation was applied using Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant P1 and P2 proteins carrying single cysteine residues at various positions. The results show a more exposed location of the N-terminal domain of the P2 proteins, which in contrast to P1, can be found as dimers when the Cys is introduced in this domain. Similarly, the Cys containing C-terminal domain of mutant P2 proteins shows a notable capacity to form cross-links with other proteins, which is considerably lower in the P1 type. On the other hand, mutation at the conserved C-domain of protein P0, the eukaryotic stalk rRNA binding component, results in removal of about 14 terminal amino acids. Protein P2, but not P1, protects mutant P0 from this truncation. These results support a eukaryotic stalk structure in which P1 proteins are internally located with their C-terminals having a restricted reactivity while P2 proteins are more external and accessible to interact with other cellular components. 相似文献

The yeast ribosomal stalk is formed by a protein pentamer made of the 38 kDa P0 and four 12 kDa acidic P1/P2. The interaction of recombinant acidic proteins P1 alpha and P2 beta with ribosomes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae D4567, lacking all the 12 kDa stalk components, has been used to study the in vitro assembly of this important ribosomal structure. Stimulation of the ribosome activity was obtained by incubating simultaneously the particles with both proteins, which were nonphosphorylated initially and remained unmodified afterward. The N-terminus state, free or blocked, did not affect either the binding or reactivating activity of both proteins. Independent incubation with each protein did not affect the activity of the particles, however, protein P2 beta alone was unable to bind the ribosome whereas P1 alpha could. The binding of P1 alpha alone is a saturable process in acidic-protein-deficient ribosomes and does not take place in complete wild-type particles. Binding of P1 proteins in the absence of P2 proteins takes also place in vivo, when protein P1 beta is overexpressed in S. cerevisiae. In contrast, protein P2 beta is not detected in the ribosome in the P1-deficient D67 strain despite being accumulated in the cytoplasm. The results confirm that neither phosphorylation nor N-terminal blocking of the 12 kDa acidic proteins is required for the assembly and function of the yeast stalk. More importantly, and regardless of the involvement of other elements, they indicate that stalk assembling is a coordinated process, in which P1 proteins would provide a ribosomal anchorage to P2 proteins, and P2 components would confer functionality to the complex. 相似文献

The eukaryotic ribosomal proteins P1 and P2 bind to protein P0 through their N-terminal domain to form the essential ribosomal stalk. A mutational analysis points to amino acids at positions 2 and 3 as determinants for the drastic difference of Saccharomyces cerevisiae P1 and P2 half-life, and suggest different degradation mechanisms for each protein type. Moreover, the capacity to form P1/P2 heterodimers is drastically affected by mutations in the P2β four initial amino acids, while these mutations have no effect on P1β. Binding of P2β and, to a lesser extent, P1β to the ribosome is also seriously affected showing the high relevance of the amino acids in the first turn of the NTD α-helix 1 for the stalk assembly. The negative effect of some mutations on ribosome binding can be reversed by the presence of the second P1/P2 couple in the ribosome, indicating a stabilizing structural influence between the two heterodimers. Unexpectedly, some mutations totally abolish heterodimer formation but allow significant ribosome binding and, therefore, a previous P1 and P2 association seems not to be an absolute requirement for stalk assembly. Homology modeling of the protein complexes suggests that the mutated residues can affect the overall protein conformation. 相似文献

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomal stalk is made of five components, the 32-kDa P0 and four 12-kDa acidic proteins, P1alpha, P1beta, P2alpha, and P2beta. The P0 carboxyl-terminal domain is involved in the interaction with the acidic proteins and resembles their structure. Protein chimeras were constructed in which the last 112 amino acids of P0 were replaced by the sequence of each acidic protein, yielding four fusion proteins, P0-1alpha, P0-1beta, P0-2alpha, and P0-2beta. The chimeras were expressed in P0 conditional null mutant strains in which wild-type P0 is not present. In S. cerevisiae D4567, which is totally deprived of acidic proteins, the four fusion proteins can replace the wild-type P0 with little effect on cell growth. In other genetic backgrounds, the chimeras either reduce or increase cell growth because of their effect on the ribosomal stalk composition. An analysis of the stalk proteins showed that each P0 chimera is able to strongly interact with only one acidic protein. The following associations were found: P0-1alpha.P2beta, P0-1beta.P2alpha, P0-2alpha.P1beta, and P0-2beta.P1alpha. These results indicate that the four acidic proteins do not form dimers in the yeast ribosomal stalk but interact with each other forming two specific associations, P1alpha.P2beta and P1beta.P2alpha, which have different structural and functional roles. 相似文献

The eukaryotic acidic P1 and P2 proteins modulate the activity of the ribosomal stalk but playing distinct roles. The aim of this work was to analyze the structural features that are behind their different function. A structural characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisaie P1 alpha and P2 beta proteins was performed by circular dichroism, nuclear magnetic resonance, fluorescence spectroscopy, thermal denaturation, and protease sensitivity. The results confirm the low structure present in both proteins but reveal clear differences between them. P1 alpha shows a virtually unordered secondary structure with a residual helical content that disappears below 30 degrees C and a clear tendency to acquire secondary structure at low pH and in the presence of trifluoroethanol. In agreement with this higher disorder P1 alpha has a fully solvent-accessible tryptophan residue and, in contrast to P2 beta, is highly sensitive to protease degradation. An interaction between both proteins was observed, which induces an increase in the global secondary structure content of both proteins. Moreover, mixing of both proteins causes a shift of the P1 alpha tryptophan 40 signal, pointing to an involvement of this region in the interaction. This evidence directly proves an interaction between P1 alpha and P2 beta before ribosome binding and suggests a functional complementation between them. On a whole, the results provide structural support for the different functional roles played by the proteins of the two groups showing, at the same time, that relatively small structural differences between the two stalk acidic protein types can result in significant functional changes. 相似文献

The covalent structures of rat ribosomal proteins P0, P1, and P2 were deduced from the sequences of nucleotides in recombinant cDNAs. P0 contains 316 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 34,178; P1 has 114 residues and a molecular weight of 11,490: and P2 has 115 amino acids and a molecular weight of 11,684. The rat P-proteins have a near identical (16 of 17 residues) sequence of amino acids at their carboxyl termini and are related to analogous proteins in other eukaryotic species. A proposal is made for a uniform nomenclature for rat and yeast ribosomal proteins. 相似文献

The essential ribosomal stalk is formed in eukaryotes by a pentamer of two P1–P2 protein heterodimers and the P0 rRNA binding protein. In contrast to the highly stable prokaryotic complex, the P1 and P2 proteins in the eukaryotic stalk undergo a cyclic process of assembly and disassembly during translation that seems to modulate the ribosome activity. To better understand this process, the regions of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae P1α and P2β proteins that are directly involved in heterodimer formation and ribosome binding have been characterized using a series of P1α/P2β chimeras. The region required for a stable interaction with the ribosome is formed by the first three predicted α-helices in the N-terminal domain of both proteins. The same region is required for heterodimer formation in P2β but the third helix is dispensable for this association in P1α. It seems, therefore, that stable ribosome binding is more structurally demanding than heterodimerization. A fourth predicted α-helix in the N-terminal domain of P1α and P2β appears not to be involved in the assembly process but rather, it contributes to the conformation of the proteins by apparently restricting the mobility of their C-terminal domain and paradoxically, by reducing their activity. In addition, the study of P1/P2 chimeras showed that the C-terminal domains of these two types of protein are functionally identical and that their protein specificity is exclusively determined by their N-terminal domains. 相似文献

The ribosome has a distinct lateral protuberance called the stalk; in eukaryotes it is formed by the acidic ribosomal P-proteins which are organized as a pentameric entity described as P0-(P1-P2)(2). Bilateral interactions between P0 and P1/P2 proteins have been studied extensively, however, the region on P0 responsible for the binding of P1/P2 proteins has not been precisely defined. Here we report a study which takes the current knowledge of the P0 - P1/P2 protein interaction beyond the recently published information. Using truncated forms of P0 protein and several in vitro and in vivo approaches, we have defined the region between positions 199 and 258 as the P0 protein fragment responsible for the binding of P1/P2 proteins in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show two short amino acid regions of P0 protein located at positions 199-230 and 231-258, to be responsible for independent binding of two dimers, P1A-P2B and P1B-P2A respectively. In addition, two elements, the sequence spanning amino acids 199-230 and the P1A-P2B dimer were found to be essential for stalk formation, indicating that this process is dependent on a balance between the P1A-P2B dimer and the P0 protein. 相似文献

The ribosome has a morphologically distinct structural feature called the stalk, recognized as a vital element for its function. The ribosomal P proteins constitute the main part of the eukaryotic ribosomal stalk, forming a pentameric structure P0-(P1-P2)(2). The group of P1/P2 proteins in eukaryotes is very diverse, and in spite of functional and structural similarities they do not fully complement one another, probably constituting an adaptive feature of the ribosome from a particular species to diverse environmental conditions. The functional differences among the P1/P2 proteins were analysed in vivo several times; however, a thorough molecular characterization was only done for the yeast P1/P2 proteins. Here, we report a biophysical analysis of the human P1 and P2 proteins, applying mass spectrometry, CD and fluorescence spectroscopy, cross-linking and size exclusion chromatography. The human P1/P2 proteins form stable heterodimer, as it is the case for P1/P2 from yeast. However, unlike the yeast complex P1A-P2B, the human P1-P2 dimer showed a three-state transition mechanism, suggesting that an intermediate species may exist in solution. 相似文献

Trichosanthin is a ribosome-inactivating protein with multiple pharmacological properties. By a yeast two-hybrid system, ribosomal phosphoproteins P0 and P1 and a putative mitotic checkpoint protein, MAD2B, were found to interact with an active-site mutated trichosanthin (TCS). The interactions were verified by an in vitro binding assay of recombinant wild-type TCS and target proteins. The interaction domain of P0 was mapped to amino acids 220-273, which had been previously reported to be involved in the interaction with P1 and P2 in yeast. Consistent with our previous finding that the last seven residues of TCS are not essential for an active conformation, the same deletion did not affect the interaction with P0. Our present study suggests that TCS may disrupt the binding of elongation factors to the P-complex, in addition to the well-known N-glycosidase activity for ribosome inactivation. 相似文献

Shiga toxins produced by Escherichia coli O157:H7 are responsible for food poisoning and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The A subunits of Shiga toxins (Stx1A and Stx2A) inhibit translation by depurinating a specific adenine in the large rRNA. To determine if Stx1A and Stx2A require the ribosomal stalk for depurination, their activity and cytotoxicity were examined in the yeast P protein deletion mutants. Stx1A and Stx2A were less toxic and depurinated ribosomes less in a strain lacking P1/P2 on the ribosome and in the cytosol (ΔP2) than in a strain lacking P1/P2 on the ribosome, but containing free P2 in the cytosol (ΔP1). To determine if cytoplasmic P proteins facilitated depurination, Stx1A and Stx2A were expressed in the P0ΔAB mutant, in which the binding sites for P1/P2 were deleted on the ribosome, and P1/P2 accumulated in the cytosol. Stx1A was less toxic and depurinated ribosomes less in P0ΔAB, suggesting that intact binding sites for P1/P2 were critical. In contrast, Stx2A was toxic and depurinated ribosomes in P0ΔAB as in wild type, suggesting that it did not require the P1/P2 binding sites. Depurination of ΔP1, but not P0ΔAB ribosomes increased upon addition of purified P1α/P2βin vitro, and the increase was greater for Stx1 than for Stx2. We conclude that cytoplasmic P proteins stimulate depurination by Stx1 by facilitating the access of the toxin to the ribosome. Although ribosomal stalk is important for Stx1 and Stx2 to depurinate the ribosome, Stx2 is less dependent on the stalk proteins for activity than Stx1 and can depurinate ribosomes with an incomplete stalk better than Stx1. 相似文献

Acidic ribosomal phosphoproteins P0, P1 and P2 were isolated in soluble form from silkworm ribosomes and tested for their interactions with each other and with RNA fragments corresponding to the GTPase-associated domain of residues 1030–1127 (Escherichia coli numbering) in silkworm 28S rRNA in vitro. Mixing of P1 and P2 formed the P1–P2 heterodimer, as demonstrated by gel mobility shift and chemical crosslinking. This heterodimer, but neither P1 or P2 alone, tightly bound to P0 and formed a pentameric complex, presumably as P0(P1–P2)2, assumed from its molecular weight derived from sedimentation analysis. Complex formation strongly stimulated binding of P0 to the GTPase-associated RNA domain. The protein complex and eL12 (E.coli L11-type), which cross-bound to the E.coli equivalent RNA domain, were tested for their function by replacing with the E.coli counterparts L10.L7/L12 complex and L11 on the rRNA domain within the 50S subunits. Both P1 and P2, together with P0 and eL12, were required to activate ribosomes in polyphenylalanine synthesis dependent on eucaryotic elongation factors as well as eEF-2-dependent GTPase activity. The results suggest that formation of the P1–P2 heterodimer is required for subsequent formation of the P0(P1–P2)2 complex and its functional rRNA binding in silkworm ribosomes. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of a full-length ribosomal P2 protein cDNA from maize was determined and used for a sequence comparison with the P2 and P1 proteins from other organisms. The integration of these data into a phylogenetic tree shows that the P proteins separated into the subspecies P1 and P2 before the eukaryotic kingdoms including plants developed from their ancestor. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomal stalk consists of five proteins: P0 protein, with molecular mass of 34 kDa, and four small, 11 kDa, P1A, P1B, P2A and P2B acidic proteins, which form a pentameric complex P0-(P1A-P2B)/(P1B-P2A). This structure binds to a region of 26S rRNA termed GTPase-associated domain and plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. The consecutive steps leading to the formation of the stalk structure have not been fully elucidated and the function of individual P-proteins in the assembling of the stalk and protein synthesis still remains elusive. We applied an integrated approach in order to examine all the P-proteins with respect to stalk assembly. Several in vitro methods were utilized to mimic protein self-organization in the cell. Our efforts resulted in reconstitution of the whole recombinant stalk in solution as well as on the ribosomal particle. On the basis of our analysis, it can be inferred that the P1A-P2B protein complex may be regarded as the key element in stalk formation, having structural and functional importance, whereas P1B-P2A protein complex is implicated in regulation of stalk function. The mechanism of quaternary structure formation could be described as a sequential co-folding/association reaction of an oligomeric system with P0-(P1A-P2B) protein complex as an essential element in the acquisition of a stable quaternary structure of the ribosomal stalk. On the other hand, the P1B-P2A complex is not involved in the cooperative stalk formation and our results indicate an increased rate of protein synthesis due to the latter protein pair. 相似文献

The stalk is a universal structure of the large ribosomal subunit involved in the function of translation factors. The bacterial stalk is highly stable but its stability is notably reduced in eukaryotes, favouring a translation regulatory activity of this ribosomal domain, which has not been reported in prokaryotes. The RNA-binding protein P0 plays a key role in determining the eukaryotic stalk activities, and characterization of the P0/RNA interaction is essential to understand the evolutionary process. Using a series of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-truncated proteins, a direct involvement of two N-terminal regions, I3-M58 and K81-V121, in the interaction of P0 with the ribosome has been shown. Two other conserved regions, R122-T149 and G162-T182, affect P0 interaction with other stalk components and the sensitivity to sordarin anti-fungals but are not essential for RNA binding. Moreover, P0 and a P0 fragment comprising only the first 121 amino acids show a similar in vitro affinity for the highly conserved 26S rRNA binding site. A protein chimera containing the first 165 amino acids of L10, the P0 bacterial counterpart, is able to complement the absence of P0 and also shows the same P0 RNA binding characteristics. Altogether, the results indicate that the affinity of the stalk RNA-binding protein for its substrate has been highly conserved, and changes in the stability of the interaction of P0 with the ribosome, which are essential for the new eukaryotic functions, result from the evolution of the overall stalk structure. 相似文献

Niemann-Pick C 1 (NPC1) is a large integral membrane glycoprotein that resides in late endosomes, whereas NPC2 is a small soluble protein found in the lumen of lysosomes. Mutations in either NPC1 or NPC2 result in aberrant lipid transport from endocytic compartments, which results in lysosomal storage of a complex mixture of lipids, primarily cholesterol and glycosphingolipids. What are the biological functions of the NPC1 and NPC2 proteins? Here we review what is known about the intracellular itinerary of these two proteins as they facilitate lipid transport. We propose that the intracellular trafficking patterns of these proteins will provide clues about their function. 相似文献

cDNA clones encoding three antigenically related human ribosomal phosphoproteins (P-proteins) P0, P1, and P2 were isolated and sequenced. P1 and P2 are analogous to Escherichia coli ribosomal protein L7/L12, and P0 is likely to be an analog of L10. The three proteins have a nearly identical carboxy-terminal 17-amino-acid sequence (KEESEESD(D/E)DMGFGLFD-COOH) that is the basis of their immunological cross-reactivity. The identities of the P1 and P2 cDNAs were confirmed by the strong similarities of their encoded amino acid sequences to published primary structures of the homologous rat, brine shrimp, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins. The P0 cDNA was initially identified by translation of hybrid-selected mRNA and immunoprecipitation of the products. To demonstrate that the coding sequences are full length, the P0, P1, and P2 cDNAs were transcribed in vitro by bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase and the resulting mRNAs were translated in vitro. The synthetic P0, P1, and P2 proteins were serologically and electrophoretically identical to P-proteins extracted from HeLa cells. These synthetic P-proteins were incorporated into 60S but not 40S ribosomes and also assembled into a complex similar to that described for E. coli L7/L12 and L10. 相似文献

The P0 scaffold protein of the ribosomal stalk is mainly incorporated into pre-ribosomes in the cytoplasm where it replaces the assembly factor Mrt4. In analyzing the role of the P0 carboxyl terminal domain (CTD) during ribosomal stalk assembly, we found that its complete removal yields a protein that is functionally similar to Mrt4, whereas a chimeric Mrt4 containing the P0 CTD behaves more like P0. Deleting the P0 binding sites for the P1 and P2 proteins provoked the nuclear accumulation of P0ΔAB induced by either leptomycin B-mediated blockage of nuclear export or Mrt4 deletion. This effect was reversed by removing P1/P2 from the cell, whereas nuclear accumulation was restored on reintroduction of these proteins. Together, these results indicate that the CTD determines the function of the P0 in stalk assembly. Moreover, they indicate that in cells lacking Mrt4, P0 and its stalk base partner, the L12 protein, bind to pre-ribosomes in the nucleus, a complex that is then exported to the cytoplasm by a mechanism assisted by the interaction with P1/P2 proteins. Furthermore, in wild-type cells, the presence of nuclear pre-ribosome complexes containing P0 but not L12 is compatible with the existence of an alternative stalk assembly process. 相似文献

The Trypanosoma cruzi ribosomal P0 protein (TcP0) is part of the ribosomal stalk, which is an elongated lateral protuberance of the large ribosomal subunit involved in the translocation step of protein synthesis. The TcP0 C-terminal peptide is highly antigenic and a major target of the antibody response in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and patients suffering chronic heart disease produced by Trypanosoma cruzi infection. The structural properties of TcP0 have been explored by circular dichroism, tryptophan fluorescence and limited proteolysis experiments. These studies were complemented by secondary structure consensus prediction analysis. The results suggest that the tertiary structure of TcP0 could be described as a compact, stable, trypsin-resistant, 200 residues long N-terminal domain belonging to the alpha/beta class and a more flexible, degradable, helical, 123 residues long C-terminal domain which could be involved in the formation of an unusual hydrophobic zipper with the ribosomal P1/P2 proteins to form the P0/P1/P2 complex. 相似文献

The ribosomal stalk is essential for translation; however, its overall structure is poorly understood. Characterization of the region involved in the interactions between protein P0 and the 12 kDa acidic proteins P1 and P2 is fundamental to understand the assembly and function of this structure in the eukaryotic ribosome. The acidic protein content is important for the ribosome efficiency and affects the translation of specific mRNAs. By usage of a series of progressively truncated fragments of protein P0 in the two-hybrid test, a region between positions 213 and 250 was identified as the minimal protein part able to interact with the acidic proteins. Extensions at either end affect the binding capacity of the fragment either positively or negatively depending on the number of added amino acids. Deletions inside the binding region confirm its in vivo relevance since they drastically reduce the P0 interacting capacity with the 12 kDa acidic proteins, which are severely reduced in the ribosome when the truncated protein is expressed in the cell. Moreover, recombinant His-tagged P0 fragments containing the binding site and bound to Ni(2+)-NTA columns can form a complex with the P1 and P2 proteins, which is able to bind elongation factor EF2. The results indicate the existence of a region in P0 that specifically interacts with the acidic proteins. These interactions are, however, hindered by the presence of neighbor protein domains, suggesting the need for conformational changes in the complete P0 to allow the assembly of the ribosomal stalk. 相似文献
