Abstract
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum, 1792) is an important economic cold-water fish that is susceptible to heat stress. To date, the heat stress response in rainbow trout is more widely understood at the transcriptional level, while little research has been conducted at the translational level. To reveal the translational regulation of heat stress in rainbow trout, in this study, we performed a ribosome profiling assay of rainbow trout liver under normal and heat stress conditions. Comparative analysis of the RNA-seq data with the ribosome profiling data showed that the folding changes in gene expression at the transcriptional level are moderately correlated with those at the translational level. In total, 1213 genes were significantly altered at the translational level. However, only 32.8% of the genes were common between both levels, demonstrating that heat stress is coordinated across both transcriptional and translational levels. Moreover, 809 genes exhibited significant differences in translational efficiency (TE), with the TE of these genes being considerably affected by factors such as the GC content, coding sequence length, and upstream open reading frame (uORF) presence. In addition, 3468 potential uORFs in 2676 genes were identified, which can potentially affect the TE of the main open reading frames. In this study, Ribo-seq and RNA-seq were used for the first time to elucidate the coordinated regulation of transcription and translation in rainbow trout under heat stress. These findings are expected to contribute novel data and theoretical insights to the international literature on the thermal stress response in fish.

Carpentier MC, Receveur AE, Boubegtitene A, Cadoudal A, Bousquet-Antonelli C, Merret R. Genome-wide analysis of mRNA decay in Arabidopsis shoot and root reveals the importance of co-translational mRNA decay in the general mRNA turnover. Nucleic Acids Res 2024; 52:7910-7924. [PMID: 38721772 PMCID: PMC11260455 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkae363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Until recently, the general 5'-3' mRNA decay was placed in the cytosol after the mRNA was released from ribosomes. However, the discovery of an additional 5' to 3' pathway, the Co-Translational mRNA Decay (CTRD), changed this paradigm. Up to date, defining the real contribution of CTRD in the general mRNA turnover has been hardly possible as the enzyme involved in this pathway is also involved in cytosolic decay. Here we overcame this obstacle and created an Arabidopsis line specifically impaired for CTRD called XRN4ΔCTRD. Through a genome-wide analysis of mRNA decay rate in shoot and root, we tested the importance of CTRD in mRNA turnover. First, we observed that mRNAs tend to be more stable in root than in shoot. Next, using XRN4ΔCTRD line, we demonstrated that CTRD is a major determinant in mRNA turnover. In shoot, the absence of CTRD leads to the stabilization of thousands of transcripts while in root its absence is highly compensated resulting in faster decay rates. We demonstrated that this faster decay rate is partially due to the XRN4-dependent cytosolic decay. Finally, we correlated this organ-specific effect with XRN4ΔCTRD line phenotypes revealing a crucial role of CTRD in mRNA homeostasis and proper organ development.

Abstract
Translation is a crucial step in gene expression and plays a vital role in regulating various aspects of plant development and environmental responses. It is a dynamic and complex program that involves interactions between mRNAs, transfer RNAs, and the ribosome machinery through both cis- and trans-regulation while integrating internal and external signals. Translational control can act in a global (transcriptome-wide) or mRNA-specific manner. Recent advances in genome-wide techniques, particularly ribosome profiling and proteomics, have led to numerous exciting discoveries in both global and mRNA-specific translation. In this review, we aim to provide a "primer" that introduces readers to this fascinating yet complex cellular process and provide a big picture of how essential components connect within the network. We begin with an overview of mRNA translation, followed by a discussion of the experimental approaches and recent findings in the field, focusing on unannotated translation events and translational control through cis-regulatory elements on mRNAs and trans-acting factors, as well as signaling networks through 3 conserved translational regulators TOR, SnRK1, and GCN2. Finally, we briefly touch on the spatial regulation of mRNAs in translational control. Here, we focus on cytosolic mRNAs; translation in organelles and viruses is not covered in this review.

Improved super-resolution ribosome profiling reveals prevalent translation of upstream ORFs and small ORFs in Arabidopsis. THE PLANT CELL 2024; 36:510-539. [PMID: 38000896 PMCID: PMC10896292 DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koad290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
A crucial step in functional genomics is identifying actively translated ORFs and linking them to biological functions. The challenge lies in identifying short ORFs, as their identification is greatly influenced by data quality and depth. Here, we improved the coverage of super-resolution Ribo-seq in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), revealing uncharacterized translation events for nuclear, chloroplastic, and mitochondrial genes. Assisted by a transcriptome assembly, we identified 7,751 unconventional translation events, comprising 6,996 upstream ORFs (uORFs) and 209 downstream ORFs on annotated protein-coding genes, as well as 546 ORFs in presumed noncoding RNAs. Proteomic data confirmed the production of stable proteins from some of these unannotated translation events. We present evidence of active translation from primary transcripts of trans-acting small interfering RNAs (TAS1-4) and microRNAs (pri-MIR163 and pri-MIR169) and periodic ribosome stalling supporting cotranslational decay. Additionally, we developed a method for identifying extremely short uORFs, including 370 minimum uORFs (AUG-stop), and 2,921 tiny uORFs (2 to 10 amino acids) and 681 uORFs that overlap with each other. Remarkably, these short uORFs exhibit strong translational repression as do longer uORFs. We also systematically discovered 594 uORFs regulated by alternative splicing, suggesting widespread isoform-specific translational control. Finally, these prevalent uORFs are associated with numerous important pathways. In summary, our improved Arabidopsis translational landscape provides valuable resources to study gene expression regulation.

Abstract
Various messenger RNA (mRNA) decay mechanisms play major roles in controlling mRNA quality and quantity in eukaryotic organisms under different conditions. While it is known that the recently discovered co-translational mRNA decay (CTRD), the mechanism that allows mRNAs to be degraded while still being actively translated, is prevalent in yeast, humans, and various angiosperms, the regulation of this decay mechanism is less well studied. Moreover, it is still unclear whether this decay mechanism plays any role in the regulation of specific physiological processes in eukaryotes. Here, by re-analyzing the publicly available polysome profiling or ribosome footprinting and degradome sequencing datasets, we discovered that highly translated mRNAs tend to have lower co-translational decay levels. Based on this finding, we then identified Pelota and Hbs1, the translation-related ribosome rescue factors, as suppressors of co-translational mRNA decay in Arabidopsis. Furthermore, we found that Pelota and Hbs1 null mutants have lower germination rates compared to the wild-type plants, implying that proper regulation of co-translational mRNA decay is essential for normal developmental processes. In total, our study provides further insights into the regulation of CTRD in Arabidopsis and demonstrates that this decay mechanism does play important roles in Arabidopsis physiological processes.

[PMID: 37492018 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.16400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
Diurnal rhythms are known to regulate the expression of a large number of genes, coordinating plant growth and development with diel changes in light and temperature. However, the impact of RNA metabolism on rhythmic gene oscillations in plant is not yet fully understood. To address this question, we performed transcriptome and degradome profiling on tomato leaves at 6 time points during one 24 h cycle, using RNA-seq and genome-wide mapping of uncapped and cleavage transcripts (GMUCT). Time-series profiling of RNA-seq revealed 9342 diurnal-oscillated genes, which were enriched in various metabolic processes. To quantify the general level of RNA degradation for each gene, we utilized the Proportion Uncapped (PU) metric, which represents the GMUCT/RNA-seq ratio. Oscillated PU analysis revealed that 3885 genes were regulated by rhythmic RNA degradation. The RNA decay of these diurnal genes was highly coordinated with mRNA downregulation during oscillation, highlighting the critical role of internal transcription-degradation balance in rhythmic gene oscillation. Furthermore, we identified 2190 genes undergoing co-translational RNA decay (CTRD) with 5' phosphate read ends enriched at the boundary of ribosomes stalling at translational termination sites. Interestingly, diurnal-changed mRNAs with large amplitudes tended to be co-translationally decay, suggesting that CTRD contributed to the rapid turnover of diurnal mRNAs. Finally, we also identified several genes, whose miRNA cleavage efficiency oscillated in a diurnal manner. Taken together, these findings uncovered the vital functions of RNA metabolism, including rhythmic RNA degradation, CTRD, and miRNA cleavage, in modulating the diurnal mRNA oscillations during diel change at post-transcriptional level in tomato.
