Abstract
Inherited retinal diseases encompass a genetically diverse group of conditions caused by variants in genes critical to retinal function, including handful of ribosome-associated genes. This study focuses on the HBS1L gene, which encodes for the HBS1-like translational GTPase that is crucial for ribosomal rescue. We have reported a female child carrying biallelic HBS1L variants, manifesting with poor growth and neurodevelopmental delay. Here, we describe the ophthalmologic findings in the patient and in Hbs1ltm1a/tm1a hypomorph mice and describe the associated microscopic and molecular perturbations. The patient has impaired visual function, showing dampened amplitudes of a- and b-waves in both rod- and cone-mediated responses. Hbs1ltm1a/tm1a mice exhibited profound thinning of the entire retina, specifically of the outer photoreceptor layer, due to extensive photoreceptor cell apoptosis. Loss of Hbs1l resulted in comprehensive proteomic alterations by mass spectrometry analysis, with an increase in the levels of 169 proteins and a decrease in the levels of 480 proteins, including rhodopsin (Rho) and peripherin 2 (Prph2). Gene Ontology biological process and gene set enrichment analyses reveal that the downregulated proteins are primarily involved in phototransduction, cilium assembly and photoreceptor cell development. These findings underscore the importance of ribosomal rescue proteins in maintaining retinal health, particularly in photoreceptor cells.

COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2024; 50:101232.

Abstract
Under global warming, heat stress can induce the excessive production of reactive oxygen species, causing irreversible damage to aquatic animals. It is essential to predict potentially harmful impacts on aquatic organisms under heat stress. Eriocheir sinensis, a typical crustacean crab, is widely distributed in China, American and Europe. Parent E. sinensis need migrate to the estuaries to reproduce in winter, and temperature is a key environmental factor. Herein, we performed a comprehensive transcriptomic and proteomic analysis in the hepatopancreas of E. sinensis under heat stress (20 °C and 30 °C), focusing on heat shock protein family, antioxidant system, energy metabolism and immune defense. The results revealed that parent E. sinensis generated adaptative responses to maintain physiological function under 20 °C stress via the transcriptional up-regulation of energy metabolism enzymes, mRNA synthesis and heat shock proteins. The transcriptional inhibition of key enzymes related to energy metabolism implied that 30 °C stress may lead to the dysfunction of energy metabolism in parent E. sinensis. Meanwhile, parent E. sinensis also enhanced the expression of ferritin and phospholipase D at translational level, and the glutathione s-transferase and heat shock protein 70 at both transcriptional and translational levels, speculating that parent E. sinensis can strengthen antioxidant and immune capacity to resist oxidative stress under 30 °C stress. This study elucidated the potential molecular mechanism in response to heat stress of parent E. sinensis hepatopancreas. The preliminary selection of heat tolerance genes or proteins in E. sinensis can provide a reference for the population prediction and the study of evolutionary mechanism under heat stress in crabs.

Abstract
The labile metal pool involved in intracellular trafficking and homeostasis is the portion susceptible to environmental stress. Herein, we visualized the different intracellular distributions of labile Cu(I) and Cu(II) pools in the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We first demonstrated that labile Cu(I) predominantly accumulated in the granules within the cytoplasmic matrix, whereas the labile Cu(II) pool primarily localized in the pyrenoid and chloroplast. The cell cycle played an integral role in balancing the labile Cu(I)/Cu(II) pools. Specifically, the labile Cu(II) pool primarily accumulated during the SM phase following cell division, while the labile Cu(I) pool dynamically changed during the G phase as cell size increased. Notably, the labile Cu(II) pool in algae at the SM stage exhibited heightened sensitivity to environmental Cu stress. Exogenous Cu stress disrupted the intracellular labile Cu(I)/Cu(II) cycle and balance, causing a shift toward the labile Cu(II) pool. Our proteomic analysis further identified a putative cupric reductase, potentially capable of reducing Cu(II) to Cu(I), and four putative multicopper oxidases, potentially capable of oxidizing Cu(I) to Cu(II), which may be involved in the conversion between the labile Cu(I) pool and labile Cu(II) pool. Our study elucidated a dynamic cycle of the intracellular labile Cu(I)/Cu(II) pools, which were accessible and responsive to environmental changes.

Using a metabolomics approach to investigate the sensitivity of a potential Arctic-invader and its Arctic sister-species to marine heatwaves and traditional harvesting disturbances. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 917:170167. [PMID: 38242480 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
Coastal species are threatened by fishing practices and changing environmental conditions, such as marine heatwaves (MHW). The mechanisms that confer tolerance to such stressors in marine invertebrates are poorly understood. However, differences in tolerance among different species may be attributed to their geographical distribution. To test the tolerance of species occupying different thermal ranges, we used two closely related bivalves the softshell clam Mya arenaria (Linnaeus, 1758), a cold-temperate invader with demonstrated potential for establishment in the Arctic, and the blunt gaper Mya truncata (Linnaeus, 1758), a native polar species. Clams were subjected to a thermal stress, mimicking a MHW, and harvesting stress in a controlled environment. Seven acute temperature changes (2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, and 32 °C) were tested at two harvesting disturbance intensities (with, without). Survival was measured after 12 days and three tissues (gills, mantle, and posterior adductor muscle) collected from surviving individuals for targeted metabolomic profiling. MHW tolerance differed significantly between species: 26.9 °C for M. arenaria and 17.8 °C for M. truncata, with a negligeable effect of harvesting. At the upper thermal limit, M. arenaria displayed a more profound metabolomic remodelling when compared to M. truncata, and this varied greatly between tissue types. Network analysis revealed differences in pathway utilization at the upper MHW limit, with M. arenaria displaying a greater reliance on multiple DNA repair and expression and cell signalling pathways, while M. truncata was limited to fewer pathways. This suggests that M. truncata is ill equipped to cope with warming environments. MHW patterning in the Northwest Atlantic may be a strong predictor of population survival and future range shifts in these two clam species. As polar environments undergo faster rates of warming compared to the global average, M. truncata may be outcompeted by M. arenaria expanding into its native range.

Abstract
Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they can be sequestered to specific sites within cells to prevent the potential dysfunction and toxicity that arises from protein aggregation. Btn2 and Hsp42 are compartment-specific sequestrases that play key roles in the assembly of these deposition sites. Their exact intracellular functions and substrates are not well defined, particularly since heat stress sensitivity is not observed in deletion mutants. We show here that Btn2 and Hsp42 are required for tolerance to oxidative stress conditions induced by exposure to hydrogen peroxide. Btn2 and Hsp42 act to sequester oxidized proteins into defined PQC sites following ROS exposure and their absence leads to an accumulation of protein aggregates. The toxicity of protein aggregate accumulation causes oxidant sensitivity in btn2 hsp42 sequestrase mutants since overexpression of the Hsp104 disaggregase rescues oxidant tolerance. We have identified the Sup35 translation termination factor as an in vivo sequestrase substrate and show that Btn2 and Hsp42 act to suppress oxidant-induced formation of the yeast [PSI+] prion, which is the amyloid form of Sup35. [PSI+] prion formation in sequestrase mutants does not require IPOD (insoluble protein deposit) localization which is the site where amyloids are thought to undergo fragmentation and seeding to propagate their heritable prion form. Instead, both amorphous and amyloid Sup35 aggregates are increased in btn2 hsp42 mutants consistent with the idea that prion formation occurs at multiple intracellular sites during oxidative stress conditions in the absence of sequestrase activity. Taken together, our data identify protein sequestration as a key antioxidant defence mechanism that functions to mitigate the damaging consequences of protein oxidation-induced aggregation.

Abstract
Light affects the morphology and physiology of Pleurotus ostreatus. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of this effect remains unclear. In this study, a label-free comparative proteomic analysis was conducted to investigate the global protein expression profile of the mycelia and fruiting bodies of P. ostreatus PH11 growing under four different light quality treatments. Among all the 2234 P. ostreatus proteins, 1349 were quantifiable under all tested conditions. A total of 1100 differentially expressed proteins were identified by comparing the light group data with those of the darkness group. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that the oxidative phosphorylation, proteasome, and mRNA surveillance pathways were the most related pathways under the light condition. qRT-PCR verified that the expression of the white collar 1 protein was significantly enhanced under white light. Additionally, glutamine synthetase and aldehyde dehydrogenase played important roles during light exposure. This study provides valuable insight into the P. ostreatus light response mechanism, which will lay the foundation for improved cultivation.

Abstract
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) encompass a genetically diverse group of conditions in which mutations in genes critical to retinal function lead to progressive loss of photoreceptor cells and subsequent visual impairment. A handful of ribosome-associated genes have been implicated in retinal disorders alongside neurological phenotypes. This study focuses on the HBS1L gene, encoding HBS1 Like Translational GTPase which has been recognized as a critical ribosomal rescue factor. Previously, we have reported a female child carrying biallelic HBS1L mutations, manifesting growth restriction, developmental delay, and hypotonia. In this study, we describe her ophthalmologic findings, compare them with the Hbs1ltm1a/tm1a hypomorph mouse model, and evaluate the underlying microscopic and molecular perturbations. The patient was noted to have impaired visual function observed by electroretinogram (ERG), with dampened amplitudes of a- and b-waves in both rod- and cone-mediated responses. Hbs1ltm1a/tm1a mice exhibited profound retinal thinning of the entire retina, specifically of the outer retinal photoreceptor layer, detected using in vivo imaging of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal cross sections. TUNEL assay revealed retinal degeneration due to extensive photoreceptor cell apoptosis. Loss of HBS1L resulted in comprehensive proteomic alterations in mass spectrometry analysis, with169 proteins increased and 480 proteins decreased including many critical IRD-related proteins. GO biological process and GSEA analyses reveal that these downregulated proteins are primarily involved in photoreceptor cell development, cilium assembly, phototransduction, and aerobic respiration. Furthermore, apart from the diminished level of PELO, a known partner protein, HBS1L depletion was accompanied by reduction in translation machinery associated 7 homolog (Tma7), and Endothelial differentiation-related factor 1(Edf1) proteins, the latter of which coordinates cellular responses to ribosome collisions. This novel connection between HBS1L and ribosome collision sensor (EDF1) further highlights the intricate mechanisms underpinning ribosomal rescue and quality control that are essential to maintain homeostasis of key proteins of retinal health, such as rhodopsin.

Abstract
The phycotoxin β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) has attracted attention due to its risks to marine organisms and human health. In this study, approximately 85 % of synchronized cells of the marine microalga Isochrysis galbana were arrested at the cell cycle G1 phase by BMAA at 6.5 μM for a 24-h exposure. The concentration of chlorophyll a (Chl a) gradually decreased, while the maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm), the maximum relative electron transport rate (rETRmax), light utilization efficiency (α) and half-saturated light irradiance (Ik) reduced early and recovered gradually in I. galbana exposed to BMAA in 96-h batch cultures. Transcriptional expression of I. galbana analyzed at 10, 12, and 16 h disclosed multiple mechanisms of BMAA to suppress the microalgal growth. Production of ammonia and glutamate was limited by the down-regulation of nitrate transporters, glutamate synthase, glutamine synthetase, cyanate hydrolase, and formamidase. Diverse extrinsic proteins related to PSII, PSI, cytochrome b6f complex, and ATPase were influenced by BMAA at transcriptional level. Suppression of the DNA replication and mismatch repair pathways increased the accumulation of misfolded proteins, which was reflected by the up-regulated expression of proteasome to accelerate proteolysis. This study improves our understanding of the chemical ecology impacts of BMAA in marine ecosystems.

Abstract
Exchanges of mRNA were shown between host and stem parasites but not root parasites. Cistanche deserticola (Orobanchaceae) is a holoparasitic herb which parasitizes on the roots of woody plant Haloxylon ammodendron (Chenopodiaceae). We used transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatic analyses to identify nearly ten thousand mobile mRNAs. Transcript abundance appears to be a driving force for transfer event and mRNA exchanges occur through haustorial junction. Mobility of selected mRNAs was confirmed in situ and in sunflower-Orobanche cumana heterologous parasitic system. Four C. deserticola →H. ammodendron mobile mRNAs appear to facilitate haustorium development. Of interest, two mobile mRNAs of putative resistance genes CdNLR1 and CdNLR2 cause root-specific hypersensitive response and retard parasite development, which might contribute to parasitic equilibrium. The present study provides evidence for the large-scale mRNA transfer event between a woody host and a root parasite, and demonstrates the functional relevance of six C. deserticola genes in host-parasite interactions.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic RNA granules compartmentalize phases of the translation cycle in eukaryotes. We previously reported the localization of oxidized RNA to cytoplasmic foci called oxidized RNA bodies (ORBs) in human cells. We show here that ORBs are RNA granules in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Several lines of evidence support a role for ORBs in the compartmentalization of no-go decay and ribosome quality control, the translation quality control pathways that recognize and clear aberrant mRNAs, including those with oxidized bases. Translation is required by these pathways and ORBs. Translation quality control factors localize to ORBs. A substrate of translation quality control, a stalled mRNA-ribosome-nascent-chain complex, localizes to ORBs. Translation quality control mutants have altered ORB numbers, sizes or both. In addition, we identify 68 ORB proteins by immunofluorescence staining directed by proteomics, which further support their role in translation quality control and reveal candidate new factors for these pathways.

Abstract
Diverse cell types in the central nervous system (CNS) are generated by a relatively small pool of neural stem cells during early development. Spatial and temporal regulation of stem cell behavior relies on precise coordination of gene expression. Well-studied mechanisms include hormone signaling, transcription factor activity, and chromatin remodeling processes. Much less is known about downstream RNA-dependent mechanisms including posttranscriptional regulation, nuclear export, alternative splicing, and transcript stability. These important functions are carried out by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Recent work has begun to explore how RBPs contribute to stem cell function and homeostasis, including their role in metabolism, transport, epigenetic regulation, and turnover of target transcripts. Additional layers of complexity are provided by the different target recognition mechanisms of each RBP as well as the posttranslational modifications of the RBPs themselves that alter function. Altogether, these functions allow RBPs to influence various aspects of RNA metabolism to regulate numerous cellular processes. Here we compile advances in RNA biology that have added to our still limited understanding of the role of RBPs in neurodevelopment.

Abstract
Antidepressants are extensively used to treat the symptoms of depression in humans, and the environmentally discharged drugs potentially threaten aquatic organisms. In this study, the acute toxic effects of fluoxetine (FLX) were investigated in two aquatic organisms, the freshwater polyp (Hydra magnipapillata) and Javanese medaka (Oryzias javanicus). The median lethal concentration (LC50) of FLX in H. magnipapillata was 3.678, 3.082, and 2.901 mg/L after 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. Morphological observations of the FLX-exposed H. magnipapillata showed that 1.5 mg/L FLX induced the contraction of the tentacles and body column. The LC50 of FLX in O. javanicus was 2.046, 1.936, 1.532, and 1.237 mg/L after 24, 48, 72, and 96 h, respectively. Observation of the behavior of the FLX-exposed fish showed that FLX reduced their swimming performance at a minimum concentration of 10 µg/L. The half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of FLX for swimming behavior in O. javanicus was 0.135, 0.108, and 0.011 mg/L after 12, 24, and 96 h, respectively. Transcriptomic analyses indicated that FLX affects various physiological and metabolic processes in both species. FLX exposure induced oxidative stress, reproductive deficiency, abnormal pattern formation, DNA damage, and neurotransmission disturbance in H. magnipapillata, whereas it adversely affected O. javanicus by inducing oxidative stress, DNA damage, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mRNA instability. Neurotransmission-based behavioral changes and endocrine disruption were strongly suspected in the FLX-exposed fish. These results suggest that FLX affects the behavior and metabolic regulation of aquatic organisms.

Abstract
According to cellular demands, ribosomes synthesize and maintain the desired pool of proteins inside the cell. However, sometimes due to defects in ribosomal machinery and faulty mRNAs, these nascent polypeptides are constantly under threat to become non-functional. In such conditions, cells acquire the help of ribosome-associated quality control mechanisms (RQC) to eliminate such aberrant nascent proteins. The primary regulator of RQC is RING domain containing LISTERIN E3 ubiquitin ligase, which is associated with ribosomes and alleviates non-stop proteins-associated stress in cells. Mouse RING finger protein E3 ubiquitin ligase LISTERIN is crucial for embryonic development, and a loss in its function causes neurodegeneration. LISTERIN is overexpressed in the mouse brain and spinal cord regions, and its perturbed functions generate neurological and motor deficits, but the mechanism of the same is unclear. Overall, LISTERIN is crucial for brain health and brain development. The present article systematically describes the detailed nature, molecular functions, and cellular physiological characterization of LISTERIN E3 ubiquitin ligase. Improve comprehension of LISTERIN's neurological roles may uncover pathways linked with neurodegeneration, which in turn might elucidate a promising novel therapeutic intervention against human neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelles (MLOs) that form dynamic, chemically distinct subcellular compartments organizing macromolecules such as proteins, RNA, and DNA in unicellular prokaryotic bacteria and complex eukaryotic cells. Separated from surrounding environments, MLOs in the nucleoplasm, cytoplasm, and mitochondria assemble by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) into transient, non-static, liquid-like droplets that regulate essential molecular functions. LLPS is primarily controlled by post-translational modifications (PTMs) that fine-tune the balance between attractive and repulsive charge states and/or binding motifs of proteins. Aberrant phase separation due to dysregulated membrane lipid rafts and/or PTMs, as well as the absence of adequate hydrotropic small molecules such as ATP, or the presence of specific RNA proteins can cause pathological protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disorders. Melatonin may exert a dominant influence over phase separation in biomolecular condensates by optimizing membrane and MLO interdependent reactions through stabilizing lipid raft domains, reducing line tension, and maintaining negative membrane curvature and fluidity. As a potent antioxidant, melatonin protects cardiolipin and other membrane lipids from peroxidation cascades, supporting protein trafficking, signaling, ion channel activities, and ATPase functionality during condensate coacervation or dissolution. Melatonin may even control condensate LLPS through PTM and balance mRNA- and RNA-binding protein composition by regulating N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications. There is currently a lack of pharmaceuticals targeting neurodegenerative disorders via the regulation of phase separation. The potential of melatonin in the modulation of biomolecular condensate in the attenuation of aberrant condensate aggregation in neurodegenerative disorders is discussed in this review.

Abstract
Reversible monoubiquitination of small subunit ribosomal proteins RPS2/uS5 and RPS3/uS3 has been noted to occur on ribosomes involved in ZNF598-dependent mRNA surveillance. Subsequent deubiquitination of RPS2 and RPS3 by USP10 is critical for recycling of stalled ribosomes in a process known as ribosome-associated quality control. Here, we identify and characterize the RPS2- and RPS3-specific E3 ligase Really Interesting New Gene (RING) finger protein 10 (RNF10) and its role in translation. Overexpression of RNF10 increases 40S ribosomal subunit degradation similarly to the knockout of USP10. Although a substantial fraction of RNF10-mediated RPS2 and RPS3 monoubiquitination results from ZNF598-dependent sensing of collided ribosomes, ZNF598-independent impairment of translation initiation and elongation also contributes to RPS2 and RPS3 monoubiquitination. RNF10 photoactivatable ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) identifies crosslinked mRNAs, tRNAs, and 18S rRNAs, indicating recruitment of RNF10 to ribosomes stalled in translation. These impeded ribosomes are tagged by ubiquitin at their 40S subunit for subsequent programmed degradation unless rescued by USP10.

Abstract
Abasic (AP) sites in mRNAs are lesions whose accumulation in cells is linked to various neurodegenerative diseases arising from the appearance of truncated peptides due to the premature cessation of translation of these mRNAs. It is believed that the translation of AP site-containing mRNAs is stopped when the damaged codon arrives to the A site, where it is not decoded. We propose an alternative translation arrest mechanism mediated by the 40S ribosomal subunit protein uS3. Recently, it has been shown that in human 80S ribosomal complexes assembled without translation factors, uS3 cross-links to the AP site at the 3'-terminus of the mRNA, whose undamaged part is bound at the 40S subunit channel, via its peptide 55-64 exposed near the mRNA entry pore. In this study, we examined whether such cross-linking occurs during the translation of mRNA with the AP site. To this end, we used a set of synthetic mRNAs bearing the AP site inserted in the desired location in their sequences. An analysis of 80S ribosomal complexes formed with these mRNAs in a mammalian cell-free protein-synthesizing system demonstrates that AP sites do indeed cross-link to uS3 in the course of the translation. We also show that the cross-linking occurs as soon as the AP site arrives to a common favorable position relative to uS3, which is independent on its location in the mRNA. Our findings suggest that the mechanism of stopping translation of damaged mRNAs involving uS3, along with the one mentioned above, could underlie ribosome-associated mRNA quality control.

Abstract
Aberrant RNA alternative splicing (AS) variants play critical roles in tumorigenesis and prognosis in human cancers. Here, we conducted a comprehensive profiling of aberrant AS events in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). RNA AS profile, including seven AS types, and the percent spliced in (PSI) value for each patient were generated by SpliceSeq using RNA-seq data from TCGA. Univariate followed by multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to identify survival-related AS events and develop the AS signatures. A nomogram was developed, and its predictive efficacy was assessed. About 27,892 AS events and 3,178 events were associated with overall survival (OS) after strict filtering. Parent genes of survival-associated AS events were mainly enriched in leukemia-associated processes including chromatin modification, autophagy, and T-cell receptor signaling pathway. The 10 AS signature based on seven types of AS events showed better efficacy in predicting OS of patients than those built on a single AS event type. The area under curve (AUC) value of the 10 AS signature for 3-year OS was 0.91. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) confirmed that these survival-related AS events contribute to AML progression. Moreover, the nomogram showed good predictive performance for patient's prognosis. Finally, the correlation network of AS variants with splicing factor genes found potential important regulatory genes in AML. The present study presented a systematic analysis of survival-related AS events and developed AS signatures for predicting the patient’s survival. Further studies are needed to validate the signatures in independent AML cohorts and might provide a promising perspective for developing therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Translation-dependent quality control pathways such as no-go decay (NGD), non-stop decay (NSD), and nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) govern protein synthesis and proteostasis by resolving non-translating ribosomes and preventing the production of potentially toxic peptides derived from faulty and aberrant mRNAs. However, how translation is altered and the in vivo defects that arise in the absence of these pathways are poorly understood. Here, we show that the NGD/NSD factors Pelo and Hbs1l are critical in mice for cerebellar neurogenesis but expendable for survival of these neurons after development. Analysis of mutant mouse embryonic fibroblasts revealed translational pauses, alteration of signaling pathways, and translational reprogramming. Similar effects on signaling pathways, including mTOR activation, the translatome and mouse cerebellar development were observed upon deletion of the NMD factor Upf2. Our data reveal that these quality control pathways that function to mitigate errors at distinct steps in translation can evoke similar cellular responses.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV), a member of the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family, can cause dengue fever (DF) and more serious diseases and thus imposes a heavy burden worldwide. As the main vector of DENV, mosquitoes are a serious hazard. After infection, they induce a complex host–pathogen interaction mechanism. Our goal is to further study the interaction mechanism of viruses in homologous, sensitive, and repeatable C6/36 cell vectors. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology was applied to the host transcript profiles of C6/36 cells infected with DENV2. Then, bioinformatics analysis was used to identify significant differentially expressed genes and the associated biological processes. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to verify the sequencing data. A total of 1239 DEGs were found by transcriptional analysis of Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells that were infected and uninfected with dengue virus, among which 1133 were upregulated and 106 were downregulated. Further bioinformatics analysis showed that the upregulated DEGs were significantly enriched in signaling pathways such as the MAPK, Hippo, FoxO, Wnt, mTOR, and Notch; metabolic pathways and cellular physiological processes such as autophagy, endocytosis, and apoptosis. Downregulated DEGs were mainly enriched in DNA replication, pyrimidine metabolism, and repair pathways, including BER, NER, and MMR. The qRT-PCR results showed that the concordance between the RNA-Seq and RT-qPCR data was very high (92.3%). The results of this study provide more information about DENV2 infection of C6/36 cells at the transcriptome level, laying a foundation for further research on mosquito vector–virus interactions. These data provide candidate antiviral genes that can be used for further functional verification in the future.

Abstract
One important task of eukaryotic cells is to translate only mRNAs that were correctly processed to prevent the production of truncated proteins, found in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Nuclear quality control of splicing requires the SR-like proteins Gbp2 and Hrb1 in S. cerevisiae, where they promote the degradation of faulty pre-mRNAs. Here we show that Gbp2 and Hrb1 also function in nonsense mediated decay (NMD) of spliced premature termination codon (PTC)-containing mRNAs. Our data support a model in which they are in a complex with the Upf-proteins and help to transmit the Upf1-mediated PTC recognition to the transcripts ends. Most importantly they appear to promote translation repression of spliced transcripts that contain a PTC and to finally facilitate degradation of the RNA, presumably by supporting the recruitment of the degradation factors. Therefore, they seem to control mRNA quality beyond the nuclear border and may thus be global surveillance factors. Identification of SR-proteins as general cellular surveillance factors in yeast will help to understand the complex human system in which many diseases with defects in SR-proteins or NMD are known, but the proteins were not yet recognized as general RNA surveillance factors.

Abstract
Ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) purges aberrant mRNAs and nascent polypeptides in a multi-step molecular process initiated by the E3 ligase ZNF598 through sensing of ribosomes collided at aberrant mRNAs and monoubiquitination of distinct small ribosomal subunit proteins. We show that G3BP1-family-USP10 complexes are required for deubiquitination of RPS2, RPS3, and RPS10 to rescue modified 40S subunits from programmed degradation. Knockout of USP10 or G3BP1 family proteins increased lysosomal ribosomal degradation and perturbed ribosomal subunit stoichiometry, both of which were rescued by a single K214R substitution of RPS3. While the majority of RPS2 and RPS3 monoubiquitination resulted from ZNF598-dependent sensing of ribosome collisions initiating RQC, another minor pathway contributed to their monoubiquitination. G3BP1 family proteins have long been considered RNA-binding proteins, however, our results identified 40S subunits and associated mRNAs as their predominant targets, a feature shared by stress granules to which G3BP1 family proteins localize under stress.

Abstract
Malaria is caused by unicellular apicomplexan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which includes the major human parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The complex cycle of the malaria parasite in both mosquito and human hosts has been studied extensively. There is tight control of gene expression in each developmental stage, and at every level of gene synthesis: from RNA transcription, to its subsequent translation, and finally post-translational modifications of the resulting protein. Whole-genome sequencing of P. falciparum has laid the foundation for significant biological advances by revealing surprising genomic information. The P. falciparum genome is extremely AT-rich (∼80%), with a substantial portion of genes encoding intragenic polyadenosine (polyA) tracks being expressed throughout the entire parasite life cycle. In most eukaryotes, intragenic polyA runs act as negative regulators of gene expression. Recent studies have shown that translation of mRNAs containing 12 or more consecutive adenosines results in ribosomal stalling and frameshifting; activating mRNA surveillance mechanisms. In contrast, P. falciparum translational machinery can efficiently and accurately translate polyA tracks without activating mRNA surveillance pathways. This unique feature of P. falciparum raises interesting questions: (1) How is P. falciparum able to efficiently and correctly translate polyA track transcripts, and (2) What are the specifics of the translational machinery and mRNA surveillance mechanisms that separate P. falciparum from other organisms? In this review, we analyze possible evolutionary shifts in P. falciparum protein synthesis machinery that allow efficient translation of an AU rich-transcriptome. We focus on physiological and structural differences of P. falciparum stage specific ribosomes, ribosome-associated proteins, and changes in mRNA surveillance mechanisms throughout the complete parasite life cycle, with an emphasis on the mosquito and liver stages.

Translational Regulation Promotes Oxidative Stress Resistance in the Human Fungal Pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. mBio 2019; 10:e02143-19. [PMID: 31719175 PMCID: PMC6851278 DOI: 10.1128/mbio.02143-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Cryptococcus neoformans is one of the few environmental fungi that can survive within a mammalian host and cause disease. Although many of the factors responsible for establishing virulence have been recognized, how they are expressed in response to certain host-derived cellular stresses is rarely addressed. Here, we characterize the temporal translational response of C. neoformans to oxidative stress. We find that translation is largely inhibited through the phosphorylation of the critical initiation factor eIF2α (α subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2) by a sole kinase. Preventing eIF2α-mediated translational suppression resulted in growth sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Our work suggests that translational repression in response to H2O2 partly facilitates oxidative stress adaptation by accelerating the decay of abundant non-stress-related transcripts while facilitating the proper expression levels of select oxidative stress response factors. Our results illustrate translational suppression as a critical determinant of select mRNA decay, gene expression, and subsequent survival in response to oxidative stress.IMPORTANCE Fungal survival in a mammalian host requires the coordinated expression and downregulation of a large cohort of genes in response to cellular stresses. Initial infection with C. neoformans occurs in the lungs, where it interacts with host macrophages. Surviving macrophage-derived cellular stresses, such as the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, is believed to promote dissemination into the central nervous system. Therefore, investigating how an oxidative stress-resistant phenotype is brought about in C. neoformans not only furthers our understanding of fungal pathogenesis but also unveils mechanisms of stress-induced gene reprogramming. We discovered that H2O2-derived oxidative stress resulted in severe translational suppression and that this suppression was necessary for the accelerated decay and expression of tested transcripts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cells have evolved quality control mechanisms to ensure protein homeostasis by detecting and degrading aberrant mRNAs and proteins. A common source of aberrant mRNAs is premature polyadenylation, which can result in non-functional protein products. Translating ribosomes that encounter poly(A) sequences are terminally stalled, followed by ribosome recycling and decay of the truncated nascent polypeptide via ribosome-associated quality control. RESULTS Here, we demonstrate that the conserved RNA-binding E3 ubiquitin ligase Makorin Ring Finger Protein 1 (MKRN1) promotes ribosome stalling at poly(A) sequences during ribosome-associated quality control. We show that MKRN1 directly binds to the cytoplasmic poly(A)-binding protein (PABPC1) and associates with polysomes. MKRN1 is positioned upstream of poly(A) tails in mRNAs in a PABPC1-dependent manner. Ubiquitin remnant profiling and in vitro ubiquitylation assays uncover PABPC1 and ribosomal protein RPS10 as direct ubiquitylation substrates of MKRN1. CONCLUSIONS We propose that MKRN1 mediates the recognition of poly(A) tails to prevent the production of erroneous proteins from prematurely polyadenylated transcripts, thereby maintaining proteome integrity.

The human ribosome can interact with the abasic site in mRNA via a specific peptide of the uS3 protein located near the mRNA entry channel. Biochimie 2018; 158:117-125.

Abstract
The small subunit ribosomal protein uS3 is a critically important player in the ribosome-mRNA interactions during translation and has numerous functions not directly related to protein synthesis in eukaryotes. A peculiar feature of the human uS3 protein is the ability of its fragment 55-64 exposed on the 40S subunit surface near the mRNA entry channel to form cross-links with 3'-terminal dialdehyde derivatives of various unstructured RNAs and with abasic sites in single-stranded DNAs. Here we showed that the ability of the above uS3 fragment to cross-link to abasic sites in DNAs is inherent only in mature cytoplasmic 40S subunits, but not nuclear pre-40S particles, which implies that it may be relevant to the ribosome-mRNA interplay. To clarify this issue, we investigated interactions of human ribosomes with synthetic mRNA analogues bearing an abasic site protected by a photocleavable group at the 3'-termini. We found that these mRNA analogues can form specific complexes with 80S ribosomes and 40S subunits, where the undamaged upstream part of the analogue is fixed in the mRNA binding channel by interaction with the P-site tRNA, and the downstream part located outside the ribosome is cross-linked to the uS3 fragment 55-64. The yield of cross-links of the mRNA analogues was rather high when their undamaged parts were bound to the mRNA channel prior to deprotection of the abasic site enabling its covalent attachment to the 40S subunit via the uS3 protein, but not vice versa. Based on our findings, one can assume that abasic sites, which can occur in mRNAs due to oxidative stress and ageing, are able to interact directly with the uS3 fragment exposed on the 40S subunit surface near the mRNA entry channel during translation. Consequently, the 40S subunit can be considered as a potential mRNA quality controller.
