Interaction between Phage T4 Protein RIII and Host Ribosomal Protein S1 Inhibits Endoribonuclease RegB Activation. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169483.

Abstract
Lytic viruses of bacteria (bacteriophages, phages) are intracellular parasites that take over hosts' biosynthetic processes for their propagation. Most of the knowledge on the host hijacking mechanisms has come from the studies of the lytic phage T4, which infects Escherichia coli. The integrity of T4 development is achieved by strict control over the host and phage processes and by adjusting them to the changing infection conditions. In this study, using in vitro and in vivo biochemical methods, we detected the direct interaction between the T4 protein RIII and ribosomal protein S1 of the host. Protein RIII is known as a cytoplasmic antiholin, which plays a role in the lysis inhibition function of T4. However, our results show that RIII also acts as a viral effector protein mainly targeting S1 RNA-binding domains that are central for all the activities of this multifunctional protein. We confirm that the S1-RIII interaction prevents the S1-dependent activation of endoribonuclease RegB. In addition, we propose that by modulating the multiple processes mediated by S1, RIII could act as a regulator of all stages of T4 infection including the lysis inhibition state.

Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1187:339139. [PMID: 34753572 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.339139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Here, a primer-template conversion-based cascade signal amplification strategy is described for the sensitive detection of polynucleotide kinase (PNK) activity. This strategy integrated rolling circle amplification (RCA) and multiple-repeated-strand displacement amplification (MRSDA) with G-quadruplex based fluorescence lighting-up assay. A delicate dumbbell-shaped DNA probe with 5'-hydroxyl terminus was designed, in which G-quadruplex and half recognition site of nicking enzyme Nb.BbvCI were encoded in two loops respectively. Under the action of PNK, the 5' terminus on dumbbell probe was firstly phosphorylated, and then the dumbbell was cyclized with the catalyzation of T4 ligase to become the RCA template. The RCA process produced multiple copies of the prolonged primer. After that, under the assistance of nicking enzyme Nb.BbvCI, a primer-template conversion occurred, which converted the primer and template of RCA into the template and primer of the subsequent MRSDA, respectively. The MRSDA generated multiple repeated ssDNA sequences which possessed G-quadruplexes for outputting signal by lighting-up fluorescence of thioflavin T (ThT). The cascade signal amplification of RCA and MRSDA provided high detection sensitivity, and the target-dependence of template in cascade signal amplification led to a low background. The method showed excellent detection limit of 0.2 × 10-6 U μL-1 in buffer and 5 cells in cell lysate sample. Moreover, this method displayed favorable selectivity when interfering proteins were present. The developed strategy has good practical potential for PNK activity detection in clinical diagnosis and medical research.

Abstract
Messenger RNA processing and decay is a key mechanism to control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in response to ever-changing environmental conditions. In this review chapter, we discuss the main ribonucleases involved in these processes in bacteria, with a particular but non-exclusive emphasis on the two best-studied paradigms of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, E. coli and B. subtilis, respectively. We provide examples of how the activity and specificity of these enzymes can be modulated at the protein level, by co-factor binding and by post-translational modifications, and how they can be influenced by specific properties of their mRNA substrates, such as 5' protective 'caps', nucleotide modifications, secondary structures and translation. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: RNA and gene control in bacteria edited by Dr. M. Guillier and F. Repoila.

Abstract
In the unfolded protein response (UPR), stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) activates a large transcriptional program to increase ER folding capacity. During the budding yeast UPR, Ire1 excises an intron from the HAC1 mRNA and the exon products of cleavage are ligated, and the translated protein induces hundreds of stress-response genes. Using cells with mutations in RNA repair and decay enzymes, we show that phosphorylation of two different HAC1 splicing intermediates is required for their degradation by the 5'→3' exonuclease Xrn1 to enact opposing effects on the UPR. We also found that ligated but 2'-phosphorylated HAC1 mRNA is cleaved, yielding a decay intermediate with both 5'- and 2'-phosphates at its 5'-end that inhibit 5'→3' decay and suggesting that Ire1 degrades incompletely processed HAC1. These decay events expand the scope of RNA-based regulation in the budding yeast UPR and have implications for the control of the metazoan UPR.

Abstract
We previously showed that ribosomes initiating translation of the B. subtilis hbs mRNA at a strong Shine–Dalgarno sequence block the 5′ exoribonuclease RNase J1 from degrading into the coding sequence. Here, we identify new and previously unsuspected features of this mRNA. First, we identify RNase Y as the endoribonuclease that cleaves the highly structured 5′-UTR to give access to RNase J1. Cleavage by RNase Y at this site is modulated by a 14-bp long-range interaction between the 5′- and 3-UTRs that partially overlaps the cleavage site. In addition to this maturation/degradation pathway, we discovered a new and ultimately more important RNase Y cleavage site in the very early coding sequence, masked by the initiating ribosome. Thus, two independent pathways compete with ribosomes to tightly link hbs mRNA stability to translation initiation; in one case the initiating ribosome competes directly with RNase J1 and in the other with RNase Y. This is in contrast to prevailing models in Escherichia coli where ribosome traffic over the ORF is the main source of protection from RNases. Indeed, a second RNase Y cleavage site later in the hbs ORF plays no role in its turnover, confirming that for this mRNA at least, initiation is key.

Abstract
RNA cleavage by some endoribonucleases and self-cleaving ribozymes produces RNA fragments with 5′-hydroxyl (5′-OH) and 2′,3′-cyclic phosphate termini. To identify 5′-OH RNA fragments produced by these cleavage events, we exploited the unique ligation mechanism of Escherichia coli RtcB RNA ligase to attach an oligonucleotide linker to RNAs with 5′-OH termini, followed by steps for library construction and analysis by massively parallel DNA sequencing. We applied the method to RNA from budding yeast and captured known 5′-OH fragments produced by tRNA Splicing Endonuclease (SEN) during processing of intron-containing pre-tRNAs and by Ire1 cleavage of HAC1 mRNA following induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR). We identified numerous novel 5′-OH fragments derived from mRNAs: some 5′-OH mRNA fragments were derived from single, localized cleavages, while others were likely produced by multiple, distributed cleavages. Many 5′-OH fragments derived from mRNAs were produced upstream of codons for highly electrostatic peptides, suggesting that the fragments may be generated by co-translational mRNA decay. Several 5′-OH RNA fragments accumulated during the induction of the UPR, some of which share a common sequence motif that may direct cleavage of these mRNAs. This method enables specific capture of 5′-OH termini and complements existing methods for identifying RNAs with 2′,3′-cyclic phosphate termini.

Abstract
mRNA degradation is an important mechanism for controlling gene expression in bacterial cells. This process involves the orderly action of a battery of cellular endonucleases and exonucleases, some universal and others present only in certain species. These ribonucleases function with the assistance of ancillary enzymes that covalently modify the 5' or 3' end of RNA or unwind base-paired regions. Triggered by initiating events at either the 5' terminus or an internal site, mRNA decay occurs at diverse rates that are transcript specific and governed by RNA sequence and structure, translating ribosomes, and bound sRNAs or proteins. In response to environmental cues, bacteria are able to orchestrate widespread changes in mRNA lifetimes by modulating the concentration or specific activity of cellular ribonucleases or by unmasking the mRNA-degrading activity of cellular toxins.

Abstract
Double-stranded DNA breaks (DSB) cause bacteria to augment expression of DNA repair and various stress response proteins. A puzzling exception educes the anticodon nuclease (ACNase) RloC, which resembles the DSB responder Rad50 and the antiviral, translation-disabling ACNase PrrC. While PrrC's ACNase is regulated by a DNA restriction-modification (R-M) protein and a phage anti-DNA restriction peptide, RloC has an internal ACNase switch comprising a putative DSB sensor and coupled ATPase. Further exploration of RloC's controls revealed, first, that its ACNase is stabilized by the activating DNA and hydrolysed nucleotide. Second, DSB inducers activated RloC's ACNase in heterologous contexts as well as in a natural host, even when R-M deficient. Third, the DSB-induced activation of the indigenous RloC led to partial and temporary disruption of tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Gln). Lastly, accumulation of CRISPR-derived RNA that occurred in parallel raises the possibility that the adaptive immunity and RloC provide the genotoxicated host with complementary protection from impending infections.

Abstract
RNA enables the material interpretation of genetic information through time and in space. The creation, destruction and activity of RNA must be well controlled and tightly synchronized with numerous cellular processes. We discuss here the pathways and mechanism of bacterial RNA turnover, and describe how RNA itself modulates these processes as part of decision-making networks. The central roles of RNA decay and other aspects of RNA metabolism in cellular control are also suggested by their vulnerability to sabotage by phages; nonetheless, RNA can be used in defense against phage infection, and these processes are described here. Salient aspects of RNA turnover are drawn together to suggest how it could affect complex effects such as phenotypic diversity in populations and responses that persist for multiple generations.

Abstract
In order to adapt to changing environmental conditions and regulate intracellular events such as division, cells are constantly producing new RNAs while discarding old or defective transcripts. These functions require the coordination of numerous ribonucleases that precisely cleave and trim newly made transcripts to produce functional molecules, and rapidly destroy unnecessary cellular RNAs. In recent years our knowledge of the nature, functions and structures of these enzymes in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes has dramatically expanded. We present here a synthetic overview of the recent development in this dynamic area which has seen the identification of many new endoribonucleases and exoribonucleases. Moreover, the increasing pace at which the structures of these enzymes, or of their catalytic domains, have been solved has provided atomic level detail into their mechanisms of action. Based on sequence conservation and structural data, these proteins have been grouped into families, some of which contain only ribonuclease members, others including a variety of nucleolytic enzymes that act upon DNA and/or RNA. At the other extreme some ribonucleases belong to families of proteins involved in a wide variety of enzymatic reactions. Functional characterization of these fascinating enzymes has provided evidence for the extreme diversity of their biological functions that include, for example, removal of poly(A) tails (deadenylation) or poly(U) tails from eukaryotic RNAs, processing of tRNA and mRNA 3' ends, maturation of rRNAs and destruction of unnecessary mRNAs. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: RNA Decay mechanisms.
