ATF3 negatively regulates cellular antiviral signaling and autophagy in the absence of type I interferons. Sci Rep 2017; 7:8789.

Abstract
Stringent regulation of antiviral signaling and cellular autophagy is critical for the host response to virus infection. However, little is known how these cellular processes are regulated in the absence of type I interferon signaling. Here, we show that ATF3 is induced following Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection, and regulates cellular antiviral and autophagy pathways in the absence of type I interferons in mouse neuronal cells. We have identified new targets of ATF3 and show that it binds to the promoter regions of Stat1, Irf9, Isg15 and Atg5 thereby inhibiting cellular antiviral signaling and autophagy. Consistent with these observations, ATF3-depleted cells showed enhanced antiviral responses and induction of robust autophagy. Furthermore, we show that JEV replication was significantly reduced in ATF3-depleted cells. Our findings identify ATF3 as a negative regulator of antiviral signaling and cellular autophagy in mammalian cells, and demonstrate its important role in JEV life cycle.

Abstract
Here, we examine tRNA-aminoacyl synthetase (ARS) localization in protein synthesis. Proteomics reveals that ten of the twenty cytosolic ARSs associate with ribosomes in sucrose gradients: phenylalanyl-RS (FRS), and the 9 ARSs that form the multi-ARS complex (MSC). Using the ribopuromycylation method (RPM) for localizing intracellular translation, we show that FRS and the MSC, and to a lesser extent other ARSs, localize to translating ribosomes, most strikingly when translation is restricted to poxvirus or alphavirus factories in infected cells. Immunoproximity fluorescence indicates close proximity between MSC and the ribosome. Stress induced-translational shutdown recruits the MSC to stress-granules, a depot for mRNA and translation components. MSC binding to mRNA provides a facile explanation for its delivery to translating ribosomes and stress granules. These findings, along with the abundance of the MSC (9 × 10(6) copies per cell, roughly equimolar with ribosomes), is consistent with the idea that MSC specificity, recently reported to vary with cellular stress (Netzer, N., Goodenbour, J. M., David, A., Dittmar, K. A., Jones, R. B., Schneider, J. R., Boone, D., Eves, E. M., Rosner, M. R., Gibbs, J. S., Embry, A., Dolan, B., Das, S., Hickman, H. D., Berglund, P., Bennink, J.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegf) plays central roles in the establishment of stereotypic vascular patterning in vertebrates. However, it is not fully understood how the network of blood vessels is established and maintained during vascular development. A zebrafish ko095 mutant presented the disorganized vessels with abnormal branching of the established intersegmental vessels (ISVs) after 60 hours postfertilization. The gene responsible for ko095 encodes seryl-tRNA synthetase (Sars) with a nonsense mutation. The abnormal branching of ISVs in ko095 mutant was suppressed by the introduction of either wild-type Sars or a mutant Sars (T429A) lacking the enzymatic activity that catalyzes aminoacylation of transfer RNA for serine (canonical activity), suggesting that the abnormal branching is attributable to the loss of function of Sars besides its canonical activity. We further found the increased expression of vegfa in ko095 mutant at 72 hours postfertilization, which was also reversed by the introduction of Sars (T429A). Furthermore, the abnormal branching of ISVs in the mutant was suppressed by knockdown of vegfa or vegfr2 (kdra and kdrb). Knockdown of vegfc or vegfr3 rescued the abnormal ISV branching in ko095 mutant. These results suggest that the abnormal ISV branching in ko095 mutant is caused by the activated Vegfa-Vegfr2 signal and requires the Vegfc-Vegfr3 signal, because the latter is needed for general angiogenesis. Hence, we conclude that noncanonical activity of Sars is involved in vascular development presumably by modulating the expression of vegfa.

Abstract
Several cascades of changes in gene expression have been shown to be involved in the neuronal injury after transient cerebral ischemia; however, little is known about the profile of genes showing alteration of expression in a mouse model of transient forebrain ischemia. We analyzed the gene expression profile in the mouse hippocampus during 24 h of reperfusion, after 20 min of transient forebrain ischemia, using a high-density oligonucleotide DNA array. Using statistical filtration (Welch's ANOVA and Welch's t-test), we identified 25 genes with a more than 3.0-fold higher or lower level of expression on average, with statistical significance set at p<0.05, in at least one ischemia-reperfusion group than in the sham group. Using unsupervised clustering methods (hierarchical clustering and k-means clustering algorithms), we identified four types of gene expression pattern that may be associated with the response of cell populations in the hippocampus to an ischemic insult in this mouse model. Functional classification of the 25 genes demonstrated alterations of expression of several kinds of biological pathways, regulating transcription (Bhlhb2, Jun, c-fos, Egr1, Egr2, Fosb, Junb, Ifrd1, Neurod6), the cell cycle (c-fos, Fosb, Jun, Junb, Dusp1), stress response (Dusp1, Dnajb1, Dnaja4), chaperone activity (Dnajb1, Dnaja4) and cell death (Ptgs2, Gadd45g, Tdag51), in the mouse hippocampus by 24 h of reperfusion. Using hierarchical clustering analysis, we also found that the same 25 genes clearly discriminated between the sham group and the ischemia-reperfusion groups. The alteration of expression of 25 genes identified in this study suggests the involvement of these genes in the transcriptional response of cell populations in the mouse hippocampus after transient forebrain ischemia.

Abstract
For eukaryotic selenoprotein mRNAs, it has been proposed that the SECIS element in the 3'-UTR is required for recognition of UGA as a Sec codon. Some proteins which bind to SECIS (SBP) have been reported. However, it is not clear how the SECIS element in the 3'-UTR can mediate Sec insertion far at the in-frame UGA Sec codons. The idea that there must be a signal near the UGA Sec codon is still being considered. Therefore, we searched for a protein which binds to an RNA sequence surrounding the UGA Sec codon on human GPx mRNA. We found a protein, prepared from bovine brain microsomes, which strongly bound to the RNA fragment upstream of the UGA Sec codon but not to the RNA sequence downstream of the UGA codon. This protein also bound to the SECIS sequence in the 3'-UTR of human GPx, and this binding to SECIS was competed with the RNA fragment upstream of the UGA Sec codon. We also obtained the similar results with the RNA fragments of type I iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase (5'DI) mRNAs. Comparison of such RNA fragments with SECIS fragments revealed similarities in the region upstream of the in-frame UGA Sec codon of several Se-protein mRNAs. The study thus favors a novel model of Sec incorporation at the UGA Sec codon that involves the regions upstream of the UGA codon of mRNAs of mammalian selenoproteins. This model explains that the stem-loop structure covering the UGA codon is recognized by SBP and how the UGA Sec codon escapes from attack by eRF.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that metabolic enzymes may act as multifunctional proteins performing diverse roles in cellular metabolism. Among these functions are the RNA-binding activities of NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenases. Previously, we have characterized the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as an RNA-binding protein with preference to adenine-uracil-rich sequences. In this study, we used GST-GAPDH fusion proteins generated by deletion mutagenesis to search for the RNA binding domain. We established that the N-terminal 43 amino acid residues of GAPDH, which correspond to the first mononucleotide-binding domain of the NAD(+)-binding fold is sufficient to confer RNA-binding. We also provide evidence that this single domain, although it retains most of the RNA-binding activity, loses sequence specificity. Our results suggest a molecular basis for RNA-recognition by NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenases and (di)nucleotide-binding metabolic enzymes that had been reported to have RNA-binding activity with different specificity. To support this prediction we also identified other members of the family of NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenases with no previous history of nucleic acid binding as RNA binding proteins in vitro. Based on our findings we propose the addition of the NAD(+)-binding domain to the list of RNA binding domains/motifs.

Abstract
Association of mRNA with the cytoskeleton represents a fundamental aspect of RNA physiology likely involved in mRNA transport, anchoring, translation, and turnover. We report the initial characterization of a protein complex that binds RNA in a sequence-independent but size-dependent manner in vitro. The complex includes a approximately 160-kDa protein that is bound directly to mRNA and that appears to be either identical or highly related to a approximately 1600-kDa protein that binds directly to mRNA in vivo. In addition, the microtubule-associated protein, MAP 1A, a cytoskeletal associated protein is a component of this complex. We suggest that the general attachment of mRNA to the cytoskeleton may be mediated, in part, through the formation of this ribonucleoprotein complex.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the cDNA sequence and deduced primary sequence for human cytosolic seryl-tRNA synthetase, and its expression in Escherichia coli. Two human brain cDNA clones of different origin, containing overlapping fragments coding for human seryl-tRNA synthetase were sequenced: HFBDN14 (fetal brain clone); and IB48 (infant brain clone). For both clones the 5' region of the cDNA was missing. This 5' region was obtained via PCR methods using a human brain 5' RACE-Ready cDNA library. The complete cDNA sequence allowed us to define primers to isolate and characterize the intron/exon structure of the serS gene, consisting of 10 introns and 11 exons. The introns' sizes range from 283 bp to more than 3000 bp and the size of the exons from 71 bp to 222 bp. The availability of the gene structure of the human enzyme could help to clarify some aspects of the molecular evolution of class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. The human seryl-tRNA synthetase has been expressed in E. coli, purified (95% pure as determined by SDS/PAGE) and kinetic parameters have been measured for its substrate tRNA. The human seryl-tRNA synthetase sequence (514 amino acid residues) shows significant sequence identity with seryl-tRNA synthetases from E. coli (25%), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (40%), Arabidopsis thaliana (41%) and Caenorhabditis elegans (60%). The partial sequences from published mammalian seryl-tRNA synthetases are very similar to the human enzyme (94% and 92% identity for mouse and Chinese hamster seryl-tRNA synthetase, respectively). Human seryl-tRNA synthetase, similar to several other class-I and class-II human aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, is clearly related to its bacterial counterparts, independent of an additional C-terminal domain and a N-terminal insertion identified in the human enzyme. In functional studies, the enzyme aminoacylates calf liver tRNA and prokaryotic E. coli tRNA.

Abstract
A yeast 50-kDa mRNA-binding protein (50mRNP) is found selectively associated with the 48S and 80S initiation complexes. This protein is structurally related to the translational elongation factor EF-1alpha. The protein reacts with antibodies directed against EF-1alpha and, similarly, EF-1alpha recognizes antibodies against the 50mRNP protein. This is evidence that they share at least one epitope which allows a similar antigenic behavior. In addition, both proteins show similar cleavage patterns upon treatment with the endoproteinase Lys-C. A murine antibody raised against 50mRNP inhibits both 48S and 80S initiation complex formation. The inhibitory effect is relieved by preincubating anti-50mRNP with EF-1alpha. Antibody to EF-1alpha manifests a similar inhibitory pattern for the formation of 48S and 80S complexes. These data strongly suggest that 50mRNP is an EF-1alpha-like polypeptide essential for the formation of the above complexes.

Abstract
Eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF1A, formerly eEF-1 alpha) carries aminoacyl-tRNAs into the A-site of the ribosome in a GTP-dependent manner. In order to probe the structure/function relationships of eEF1A, we have generated site-directed mutants using a modification of a highly versatile yeast shuttle vector, which consists of the insertion of a 66 base long synthetic DNA fragment in the vector's polylinker. Via oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, the modification permits the identification of mutant clones based on a chromogenic screen of beta-galactosidase activity. Mutagenesis reactions are performed with two or more oligonucleotides, one introducing the chromogenic shift, and the other(s) introducing the mutation(s) of interest in eEF1A. Several rounds of chromogenic shifts and additional mutations can be performed in succession on the same vector. To address the possible function of the methylated lysines in yeast eEF1A, we have changed the post-translationally modified lysines (residue 30, 79, 316 and 390) to arginines using the above methodology. Yeast with eEF1A mutants that substitute arginine in all four sites do not show any phenotypic change. There is also an apparent equivalency of wild-type and mutant yeast eEF1A in in vitro assays. It is concluded that the post-translational modifications of eEF1A are not of major importance for eEF1A's role in translation.

Abstract
The intracellular distribution of various components of the protein translational machinery was visualized in mouse oligodendrocytes in culture using high resolution fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence in conjunction with dual channel confocal laser scanning microscopy. Arginyl-tRNA synthetase, elongation factor 1a, ribosomal RNA, and myelin basic protein mRNA were all co-localized in granules in the processes, veins and membrane sheets of the cell. Colocalization was evaluated by dual channel cross correlation analysis to determine the correlation index (% colocalization) and correlation distance (granule radius), and by single granule ratiometric analysis to determine the distribution of the different components in individual granules. Most granules contained synthetase, elongation factor, ribosomal RNA and myelin basic protein mRNA. These results indicate that several different components of the protein synthetic machinery, including aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, elongation factors, ribosomes and mRNAs, are colocalized in granules in oligodendrocytes. We propose that these granules are supramolecular complexes containing all of the necessary macromolecular components for protein translation and that they represent a heretofore undescribed subcellular organization of the protein synthetic machinery. This spatial organization may increase the efficiency of protein synthesis and may also provide a vehicle for transport and localization of specific mRNAs within the cell.

Abstract
A 36-kDa protein that binds AU-rich RNA was purified from human spleen and identified as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). GAPDH has been previously demonstrated to bind tRNA with high affinity. Competition studies suggested that cytoplasmic GAPDH binds the AU-rich elements (AREs) of lymphokine mRNA 3'-untranslated regions with higher affinity than tRNA. The AUUUA-specific RNA binding activity of GAPDH was inhibited by NAD+, NADH, and ATP in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that RNA binding of GAPDH might involve the NAD(+)-binding region, or dinucleotide-binding (Rossmann) fold. This hypothesis was supported by experiments that localized RNA binding to the predicted N-terminal 6.8-kDa peptide, known to be involved in the formation of the NAD(+)-binding domain. The direct demonstration of ARE-specific binding protein activity localized to the NAD(+)-binding region of GAPDH supports the general concept that enzymes containing this domain may exhibit specific RNA binding activity and play additional roles in nucleic acid metabolism. Finally, cytoplasmic GAPDH was found in the polysomal fraction of T lymphocytes. Thus, the RNA binding specificity of GAPDH as well as its localization within the cell merit its strong consideration as a protein important in the regulation of ARE-dependent mRNA turnover and translation in addition to its well described role in glycolysis.

Abstract
Elongation factor 3 (EF-3) is a unique and essential requirement of the fungal translational machinery. Non-fungal organisms do not have and do not require a soluble form of the third elongation factor for translation. To test whether non-fungal organisms have a direct analog of EF-3 incorporated in the structure of the ribosomes, a comparison of EF-3 adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) with ATPases associated with pig liver ribosomes was carried out. EF-3 function depends on ATP (GTP) hydrolysis. The hydrolytic activity of EF-3 is enhanced by two orders of magnitude by yeast ribosomes due to an increase in the turnover rate of EF-3. The nucleotide hydrolytic activity of EF-3 is significantly constrained by the binding of aminoacylated tRNA(Phe) to poly(U)-programmed ribosomes. The translational inhibitors--neomycin and alpha-sarcin suppress the ATPase activity of EF-3. These results reflect a direct correlation between EF-3 ATPase and the functional state of the ribosome. Four lines of evidence indicate that yeast EF-3 ATPase is functionally distinct from pig liver ribosome associated ATPases. The kinetic parameters of ATPases from these two sources are different. Poly(U) and tRNA have no effect on the ATPase activity associated with the pig liver ribosomes. The latter activity is unaffected by the translational inhibitors neomycin and alpha-sarcin. The translational activity of pig liver ribosomes is not influenced by ATP, ADP or adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate. In an in vitro system, one can demonstrate a small but consistent stimulatory effect of yeast EF-3 on polyphenylalanine synthesis by pig liver ribosomes only when EF-1 alpha is present at a limited concentration. The EF-3 effect disappears when EF-1 alpha is added in a stoichiometric amount to the pig liver ribosomes. This result is in contrast to the yeast system where the ribosomes are completely dependent on EF-3 at all concentrations of EF-1 alpha.

Abstract
In this report we show that when 10,000 x g supernatant extracts of growth arrested murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells are incubated there is a rapid conversion of essentially all mRNAs to non-translating messenger ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles. Most of these RNPs are readily translated in an initiation-dependent manner when added to a nuclease-treated rabbit reticulocyte lysate. A notable exception is the RNP containing eucaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) mRNA. The mRNA for poly(A)-binding protein behaved similarly to EF-1 alpha. Previous work has demonstrated that the translation of both these mRNAs are repressed in vivo when the growth of a number of different mammalian cells is arrested [Slobin L. I. and Jordan, P. (1984) Eur J. Biochem. 145, 1984; Thomas, G. and Thomas, G. (1986) J. Cell Biol. 103, 1986]. Translational activity of EF-1 alpha mRNA could be restored by treating RNP particles with 0.5 M KCl, provided that the RNPs were separated from salt wash by chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose. Addition of the salt wash to total MEL cell mRNA significantly and selectively inhibited EF-1 alpha mRNA translation, suggesting that a component of the salt wash acts as a trans-acting translational repressor of EF-1 alpha mRNA.

Abstract
Escherichia coli strain N4316 is a mutant that exhibits temperature-sensitive growth at 43 degrees C and temperature-sensitive translation in vivo and in vitro. Extracts of the mutant produce an aberrant pattern of translation products of MS2 bacteriophage RNA. Previous work has shown that a protein, called 'rescue', isolated from the parental strain partly corrects the defective translation in vitro. Here we report the purification to homogeneity of a second factor from ribosomal eluates of the wild-type parental strain; the purified protein is a homodimer of 54 kDa. The partial sequence of the second protein was determined, and a recombinant plasmid was isolated based on its ability to complement the temperature-sensitive growth phenotype of the mutant at the non-permissive temperatures. The cloned gene was sequenced, mapped to the 20.9-min region of the E. coli chromosome and shown to code for a 466-amino-acid protein with a molecular mass of 52 kDa. Analysis of the DNA sequence and the correspondence to that of the partial protein sequence has identified the complementing factor as asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase. Marker rescue experiments indicate that the asnS mutation in N4316 resides within the motif 2 domain of the synthetase. A potential role of this synthetase in restoring normal protein synthesis with respect to ribosomal frameshifting, read-through of nonsense codons and protein copy number is discussed.
