Resolving the intricate binding of neomycin B to multiple binding motifs of a neomycin-sensing riboswitch aptamer by native top-down mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Nucleic Acids Res 2024; 52:4691-4701. [PMID: 38567725 PMCID: PMC11077050 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkae224] [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: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Understanding small molecule binding to RNA can be complicated by an intricate interplay between binding stoichiometry, multiple binding motifs, different occupancies of different binding motifs, and changes in the structure of the RNA under study. Here, we use native top-down mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to experimentally resolve these factors and gain a better understanding of the interactions between neomycin B and the 40 nt aptamer domain of a neomycin-sensing riboswitch engineered in yeast. Data from collisionally activated dissociation of the 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 RNA-neomycin B complexes identified a third binding motif C of the riboswitch in addition to the two motifs A and B found in our previous study, and provided occupancies of the different binding motifs for each complex stoichiometry. Binding of a fourth neomycin B molecule was unspecific according to both MS and NMR data. Intriguingly, all major changes in the aptamer structure can be induced by the binding of the first neomycin B molecule regardless of whether it binds to motif A or B as evidenced by stoichiometry-resolved MS data together with titration data from 1H NMR spectroscopy in the imino proton region. Specific binding of the second and third neomycin B molecules further stabilizes the riboswitch aptamer, thereby allowing for a gradual response to increasing concentrations of neomycin B, which likely leads to a fine-tuning of the cellular regulatory mechanism.

Transcriptomic profiling of an evolved Yarrowia lipolytica strain: tackling hexanoic acid fermentation to increase lipid production from short-chain fatty acids. Microb Cell Fact 2024; 23:101. [PMID: 38566056 PMCID: PMC10988856 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-024-02367-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are cost-effective carbon sources for an affordable production of lipids. Hexanoic acid, the acid with the longest carbon chain in the SCFAs pool, is produced in anaerobic fermentation of organic residues and its use is very challenging, even inhibiting oleaginous yeasts growth. RESULTS In this investigation, an adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) was performed to improve Yarrowia lipolytica ACA DC 50109 tolerance to high hexanoic acid concentrations. Following ALE, the transcriptomic analysis revealed several genetic adaptations that improved the assimilation of this carbon source in the evolved strain compared to the wild type (WT). Indeed, the evolved strain presented a high expression of the up-regulated gene YALI0 E16016g, which codes for FAT1 and is related to lipid droplets formation and responsible for mobilizing long-chain acids within the cell. Strikingly, acetic acid and other carbohydrate transporters were over-expressed in the WT strain. CONCLUSIONS A more tolerant yeast strain able to attain higher lipid content under the presence of high concentrations of hexanoic acid has been obtained. Results provided novel information regarding the assimilation of hexanoic acid in yeasts.

Abstract
RNA pol II assembly occurs in the cytoplasm before translocation of the enzyme to the nucleus. Affecting this assembly influences mRNA transcription in the nucleus and mRNA decay in the cytoplasm. However, very little is known about the consequences on ncRNA synthesis. In this work, we show that impairment of RNA pol II assembly leads to a decrease in cryptic non-coding RNAs (preferentially CUTs and SUTs). This alteration is partially restored upon overcoming the assembly defect. Notably, this drop in ncRNAs is only partially dependent on the nuclear exosome, which suggests a major specific effect of enzyme assembly. Our data also point out a defect in transcription termination, which leads us to propose that CTD phosphatase Rtr1 could be involved in this process.

Abstract
Ribosomes are the basis for protein production, whose biogenesis is essential for cells to drive growth and proliferation. Ribosome biogenesis is highly regulated in accordance with cellular energy status and stress signals. In eukaryotic cells, response to stress signals and the production of newly-synthesized ribosomes require elements to be transcribed by the three RNA polymerases (RNA pols). Thus, cells need the tight coordination of RNA pols to adjust adequate components production for ribosome biogenesis which depends on environmental cues. This complex coordination probably occurs through a signaling pathway that links nutrient availability with transcription. Several pieces of evidence strongly support that the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) pathway, conserved among eukaryotes, influences the transcription of RNA pols through different mechanisms to ensure proper ribosome components production. This review summarizes the connection between TOR and regulatory elements for the transcription of each RNA pol in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It also focuses on how TOR regulates transcription depending on external cues. Finally, it discusses the simultaneous coordination of the three RNA pols through common factors regulated by TOR and summarizes the most important similarities and differences between S. cerevisiae and mammals.

Abstract
RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is an essential machinery for catalyzing mRNA synthesis and controlling cell fate in eukaryotes. Although the structure and function of RNAPII have been relatively defined, the molecular mechanism of its assembly process is not clear. The identification and functional analysis of assembly factors will provide new understanding to transcription regulation. In this study, we identify that RTR1, a known transcription regulator, is a new multicopy genetic suppressor of mutants of assembly factors Gpn3, Gpn2, and Rba50. We demonstrate that Rtr1 is directly required to assemble the two largest subunits of RNAPII by coordinating with Gpn3 and Npa3. Deletion of RTR1 leads to cytoplasmic clumping of RNAPII subunit and multiple copies of RTR1 can inhibit the formation of cytoplasmic clump of RNAPII subunit in gpn3-9 mutant, indicating a new layer function of Rtr1 in checking proper assembly of RNAPII. In addition, we find that disrupted activity of Rtr1 phosphatase does not trigger the formation of cytoplasmic clump of RNAPII subunit in a catalytically inactive mutant of RTR1. Based on these results, we conclude that Rtr1 cooperates with Gpn3 and Npa3 to assemble RNAPII core.

Abstract
Detailed knowledge of structures of yeast RNA polymerases (RNAPs) contrasts with the limited information that is available on the control of their assembly. RNAP enzymes are large heteromeric complexes that function in the nucleus, but they are assembled in the cytoplasm and imported to the nucleus with help from specific auxiliary factors. Here, I review a recent study that suggests that the formation of an early-stage assembly intermediate of the RNAP III complex occurs through a co-translational mechanism. According to our hypothesis, RNAP III assembly might be seeded while the Rpb10 subunit of the enzyme core is being synthesized by cytoplasmic ribosome machinery. The co-translational assembly of RNAP III is mediated by Rbs1 protein which binds to 3'-untranslated regions in mRNA in a way that depends on the R3H domain in the Rbs1 sequence.

Abstract
RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is an essential machinery in eukaryotes that catalyzes mRNA synthesis and controls cell fate. Although the structure and function of RNAPII are relatively well defined, the molecular mechanism of its assembly process is poorly understood. Three members of GPN-loop GTPase family Npa3/Gpn1, Gpn2, and Gpn3 participate in the biogenesis of RNAPII with non-redundant roles. In this study, we demonstrate that Gpn3 and Npa3 directly participate in the assembly of the two largest subunits during biogenesis of RNAPII. When Gpn3 is defective, assembly of RNAPII is disrupted, leading to cytoplasmic foci of RNAPII subunits. Long-term assembly factor defects will lead to the accumulation of different kind of newly synthesized RNAPII subunits in the cytoplasm to form foci, and this can be prevented by recovery of the defective assembly factor. Cytoplasmic foci of RNAPII subunits in mutants of these assembly factors reveals a new cellular rescue response named the 'RNAPII assembly stress response'.

Abstract
Although remarkable progress has been made toward understanding the structures of eukaryotic RNA polymerases, the pathways and factors that facilitate their assembly remain unresolved. Essential proteins Rba50 and Gpn2 are required for Rpb3 subcomplex assembly, but whether they participate in subsequent assembly steps is unknown. Herein, we performed comprehensive genetic screens to explore Rba50 function. We identified two unique extragenic rba50-3-suppressing mutations that map to genes encoding the Rba50-interacting protein Gpn2, and Rpb2, the second largest subunit of RNAPII. Both gpn2-R347S and rpb2-V1171G variants bypass Rpb1 cytoplasmic arrest and temperature-sensitive growth defects of the rba50-3 mutant. GPN2 and RPB2 were also identified as novel multicopy suppressors of the rba50-3 mutant. Rapid depletion of Rba50 affected Rpb3-Rpb2 association during RNAPII assembly. Importantly, we demonstrated that Gpn2 facilitates the association of Rba50 and Rpb2. Our results imply that Rba50-Gpn2 interaction is essential for Rpb2 recruitment during RNAPII assembly following Rpb3 subcomplex assembly. Furthermore, the Rba50-Gpn2 complex appears to play a similar role in the assembly of RNAPIII. We therefore propose a model in which Rba50 interacts with Gpn2 and thereby promotes loading of the second largest subunit of RNAP II and III onto the previously assembled subcomplex.

Abstract
Rtr1 is an RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II) CTD-phosphatase that influences gene expression during the transition from transcription initiation to elongation and during transcription termination. Rtr1 interacts with the RNA pol II and this interaction depends on the phosphorylation state of the CTD of Rpb1, which may influence dissociation of the heterodimer Rpb4/7 during transcription. In addition, Rtr1 was proposed as an RNA pol II import factor in RNA pol II biogenesis and participates in mRNA decay by autoregulating the turnover of its own mRNA. Our work shows that Rtr1 acts in RNA pol II assembly by mediating the Rpb4/7 association with the rest of the enzyme. RTR1 deletion alters RNA pol II assembly and increases the amount of RNA pol II associated with the chromatin that lacks Rpb4, decreasing Rpb4-mRNA imprinting and, consequently, increasing mRNA stability. Thus, Rtr1 interplays RNA pol II biogenesis and mRNA decay regulation. Our data also indicate that Rtr1 mediates mRNA decay regulation more broadly than previously proposed by cooperating with Rpb4. Interestingly, our data include new layers in the mechanisms of gene regulation and in the crosstalk between mRNA synthesis and decay by demonstrating how the association of Rpb4/7 to the RNA pol II influences mRNA decay.

Abstract
Efficient and regulated nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of macromolecules to the correct subcellular compartment is critical for proper functions of the eukaryotic cell. The majority of the macromolecular traffic across the nuclear pores is mediated by the Karyopherin-β (or Kap) family of nuclear transport receptors. Work over more than two decades has shed considerable light on how the different Kap family members bring their respective cargoes into the nucleus or the cytoplasm in efficient and highly regulated manners. In this Review, we overview the main features and established functions of Kap family members, describe how Kaps recognize their cargoes and discuss the different ways in which these Kap-cargo interactions can be regulated, highlighting new findings and open questions. We also describe current knowledge of the import and export of the components of three large gene expression machines - the core replisome, RNA polymerase II and the ribosome - pointing out the questions that persist about how such large macromolecular complexes are trafficked to serve their function in a designated subcellular location.
