Yagi S, Tagami S. An ancestral fold reveals the evolutionary link between RNA polymerase and ribosomal proteins. Nat Commun 2024; 15:5938.

Abstract
Numerous molecular machines are required to drive the central dogma of molecular biology. However, the means by which these numerous proteins emerged in the early evolutionary stage of life remains enigmatic. Many of them possess small β-barrel folds with different topologies, represented by double-psi β-barrels (DPBBs) conserved in DNA and RNA polymerases, and similar but topologically distinct six-stranded β-barrel RIFT or five-stranded β-barrel folds such as OB and SH3 in ribosomal proteins. Here, we discover that the previously reconstructed ancient DPBB sequence could also adopt a β-barrel fold named Double-Zeta β-barrel (DZBB), as a metamorphic protein. The DZBB fold is not found in any modern protein, although its structure shares similarities with RIFT and OB. Indeed, DZBB could be transformed into them through simple engineering experiments. Furthermore, the OB designs could be further converted into SH3 by circular-permutation as previously predicted. These results indicate that these β-barrels diversified quickly from a common ancestor at the beginning of the central dogma evolution.

Lejeune C, Cornu D, Sago L, Redeker V, Virolle MJ. The stringent response is strongly activated in the antibiotic producing strain, Streptomyces coelicolor. Res Microbiol 2024; 175:104177.

Abstract
S. lividans and S. coelicolor are phylogenetically closely related strains with different abilities to produce the same specialized metabolites. Previous studies revealed that the strong antibiotic producer, S. coelicolor, had a lower ability to assimilate nitrogen and phosphate than the weak producer, Streptomyces lividans, and this resulted into a lower growth rate. A comparative proteomic dataset was used to establish the consequences of these nutritional stresses on the abundance of proteins of the translational apparatus of these strains, grown in low and high phosphate availability. Our study revealed that most proteins of the translational apparatus were less abundant in S. coelicolor than in S. lividans whereas it was the opposite for ET-Tu 3 and a TrmA-like methyltransferase. The expression of the latter being known to be under the positive control of the stringent response whereas that of the other ribosomal proteins is under its negative control, this indicated the occurrence of a strong activation of the stringent response in S. coelicolor. Furthermore, in S. lividans, ribosomal proteins were more abundant in phosphate proficiency than in phosphate limitation suggesting that a limitation in phosphate, that was also shown to trigger RelA expression, contributes to the induction of the stringent response.

Abstract
The ribosome is the central hub for protein synthesis and the target of many antibiotics. Although the majority of ribosome-targeting antibiotics inhibit protein synthesis and are bacteriostatic, aminoglycosides promote protein mistranslation and are bactericidal. Understanding the resistance mechanisms of bacteria against aminoglycosides is not only vital for improving the efficacy of this critically important group of antibiotics but also crucial for studying the molecular basis of translational fidelity. In this work, we analyzed Salmonella mutants evolved in the presence of the aminoglycoside streptomycin (Str) and identified a novel gene rimP to be involved in Str resistance. RimP is a ribosome assembly factor critical for the maturation of the 30S small subunit that binds Str. Deficiency in RimP increases resistance against Str and facilitates the development of even higher resistance. Deleting rimP decreases mistranslation and cellular uptake of Str and further impairs flagellar motility. Our work thus highlights a previously unknown mechanism of aminoglycoside resistance via defective ribosome assembly.

Abstract
Protein synthesis is a major energy-consuming process of the cell that requires the controlled production1-3 and turnover4,5 of ribosomes. Although the past few years have seen major advances in our understanding of ribosome biogenesis, structural insight into the degradation of ribosomes has been lacking. Here we present native structures of two distinct small ribosomal 30S subunit degradation intermediates associated with the 3' to 5' exonuclease ribonuclease R (RNase R). The structures reveal that RNase R binds at first to the 30S platform to facilitate the degradation of the functionally important anti-Shine-Dalgarno sequence and the decoding-site helix 44. RNase R then encounters a roadblock when it reaches the neck region of the 30S subunit, and this is overcome by a major structural rearrangement of the 30S head, involving the loss of ribosomal proteins. RNase R parallels this movement and relocates to the decoding site by using its N-terminal helix-turn-helix domain as an anchor. In vitro degradation assays suggest that head rearrangement poses a major kinetic barrier for RNase R, but also indicate that the enzyme alone is sufficient for complete degradation of 30S subunits. Collectively, our results provide a mechanistic basis for the degradation of 30S mediated by RNase R, and reveal that RNase R targets orphaned 30S subunits using a dynamic mechanism involving an anchored switching of binding sites.

Abstract
Ribosome biogenesis is an energy-intense multistep process where even minimal defects can cause severe phenotypes up to cell death. Ribosome assembly is facilitated by biogenesis factors such as ribosome assembly factors. These proteins facilitate the interaction of ribosomal proteins with rRNA and correct rRNA folding. One of these maturation factors is RimP which is required for efficient 16S rRNA processing and 30S ribosomal subunit assembly. Here, we describe the binding mode of Staphylococcus aureus RimP to the small ribosomal subunit and present a 4.2 Å resolution cryo-EM reconstruction of the 30S-RimP complex. Together with the solution structure of RimP solved by NMR spectroscopy and RimP-uS12 complex analysis by EPR, DEER, and SAXS approaches, we show the specificity of RimP binding to the 30S subunit from S. aureus. We believe the results presented in this work will contribute to the understanding of the RimP role in the ribosome assembly mechanism.

Abstract
Ribosome biogenesis is a key process in all organisms. It relies on coordinated work of multiple proteins and RNAs, including an array of assembly factors. Among them, the GTPase Era stands out as an especially deeply conserved protein, critically required for the assembly of bacterial-type ribosomes from Escherichia coli to humans. In this review, we bring together and critically analyze a wealth of phylogenetic, biochemical, structural, genetic and physiological data about this extensively studied but still insufficiently understood factor. We do so using a comparative and, wherever possible, synthetic approach, by confronting observations from diverse groups of bacteria and eukaryotic organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts). The emerging consensus posits that Era intervenes relatively early in the small subunit biogenesis and is essential for the proper shaping of the platform which, in its turn, is a prerequisite for efficient translation. The timing of Era action on the ribosome is defined by its interactions with guanosine nucleotides [GTP, GDP, (p)ppGpp], ribosomal RNA, and likely other factors that trigger or delay its GTPase activity. As a critical nexus of the small subunit biogenesis, Era is subject to sophisticated regulatory mechanisms at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational levels. Failure of these mechanisms or a deficiency in Era function entail dramatic generalized consequences for the protein synthesis and far-reaching, pleiotropic effects on the organism physiology, such as the Perrault syndrome in humans.

Abstract
The increasing trend in the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria pushes research to discover new efficacious antibacterial agents from natural and synthetic sources. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a well-known bacterium commonly known for causing periodontal disease, and it is associated with the pathogenesis of life-changing systemic conditions such as Alzheimer's. Proteomic research can be utilized to test new antibacterial drugs and understand the adaptive resistive mechanisms of bacteria; hence, it is important in the drug discovery process. The current study focuses on identifying the antibacterial effects of Juglans regia (JR) and Melaleuca alternifolia (MA) on P. gingivalis and uses proteomics to identify modes of action while exploring its adaptive mechanisms. JR and MA extracts were tested for antibacterial efficacy using the agar well diffusion assay. A proteomic study was conducted identifying upregulated and downregulated proteins compared to control by 2D-DIGE analysis, and proteins were identified using MADLI-TOF/MS. The bacterial inhibition for JR was 20.14 ± 0.2, and that for MA was 19.72 ± 0.5 mm. Out of 88 differentially expressed proteins, there were 17 common differentially expressed proteins: 10 were upregulated and 7 were downregulated in both treatments. Among the upregulated proteins were Arginine-tRNA ligase, ATP-dependent Clp protease proteolytic, and flavodoxins. In contrast, down-regulated proteins were ATP synthase subunit alpha and quinone, among others, which are known antibacterial targets. STRING analysis indicated a strong network of interactions between differentially expressed proteins, mainly involved in protein translation, post-translational modification, energy production, metabolic pathways, and protein repair and degradation. Both extracts were equi-efficacious at inhibiting P. gingivalis and displayed some overlapping proteomic profiles. However, the MR extract had a greater fold change in its profile than the JA extract. Downregulated proteins indicated similarity in the mode of action, and upregulated proteins appear to be related to adaptive mechanisms important in promoting repair, growth, survival, virulence, and resistance. Hence, both extracts may be useful in preventing P. gingivalis-associated conditions. Furthermore, our results may be helpful to researchers in identifying new antibiotics which may offset these mechanisms of resistance.

Abstract
Magnesium ions are abundant and play indispensable functions in the ribosome. A decrease in Mg2+ concentration causes 70S ribosome dissociation and subsequent unfolding. Structural distortion at low Mg2+ concentrations has been observed in an immature pre50S, while the structural changes in mature subunits have not yet been studied. Here, we purified the 30S subunits of E. coli cells under various Mg2+ concentrations and analyzed their structural distortion by cryo-electron microscopy. Upon systematically interrogating the structural heterogeneity within the 1 mM Mg2+ dataset, we observed 30S particles with different levels of structural distortion in the decoding center, h17, and the 30S head. Our model showed that, when the Mg2+ concentration decreases, the decoding center distorts, starting from h44 and followed by the shifting of h18 and h27, as well as the dissociation of ribosomal protein S12. Mg2+ deficiency also eliminates the interactions between h17, h10, h15, and S16, resulting in the movement of h17 towards the tip of h6. More flexible structures were observed in the 30S head and platform, showing high variability in these regions. In summary, the structures resolved here showed several prominent distortion events in the decoding center and h17. The requirement for Mg2+ in ribosomes suggests that the conformational changes reported here are likely shared due to a lack of cellular Mg2+ in all domains of life.

Abstract
The ribosomal maturation factor (RimP) is a 17.7 kDa protein and is the assembly factor of the 30S subunit. RimP is essential for efficient processing of 16S rRNA and maturation (assembly) of the 30S ribosome. It was suggested that RimP takes part in stabilization of the central pseudoknot at the early stages of the 30S subunit maturation, and this process may occur before the head domain assembly and later stages of the 30S assembly, but the mechanism of this interaction is still not fully understood. Here we report the assignment of the 1H, 13C and 15N chemical shift in the backbone and side chains of RimP from Staphylococcus aureus. Analysis of chemical shifts of the main chain using TALOS + suggests that the RimP contains eight β-strands and three α-helices with the topology α1-β1-β2-α2- β3- α3- β4- β5- β6- β7- β8. Structural studies of RimP and its complex with the ribosome by integrated structural biology approaches (NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and cryoelectron microscopy) will allow further screening of highly selective inhibitors of the translation of S. aureus.
