Abstract
In response to stress stimuli, eukaryotic cells typically suppress protein synthesis. This leads to the release of mRNAs from polysomes, their condensation with RNA-binding proteins, and the formation of non-membrane-bound cytoplasmic compartments called stress granules (SGs). SGs contain 40S but generally lack 60S ribosomal subunits. It is known that cycloheximide, emetine, and anisomycin, the ribosome inhibitors that block the progression of 80S ribosomes along mRNA and stabilize polysomes, prevent SG assembly. Conversely, puromycin, which induces premature termination, releases mRNA from polysomes and stimulates the formation of SGs. The same effect is caused by some translation initiation inhibitors, which lead to polysome disassembly and the accumulation of mRNAs in the form of stalled 48S preinitiation complexes. Based on these and other data, it is believed that the trigger for SG formation is the presence of mRNA with extended ribosome-free segments, which tend to form condensates in the cell. In this study, we evaluated the ability of various small-molecule translation inhibitors to block or stimulate the assembly of SGs under conditions of severe oxidative stress induced by sodium arsenite. Contrary to expectations, we found that ribosome-targeting elongation inhibitors of a specific type, which arrest solitary 80S ribosomes at the beginning of the mRNA coding regions but do not interfere with all subsequent ribosomes in completing translation and leaving the transcripts (such as harringtonine, lactimidomycin, or T-2 toxin), completely prevent the formation of arsenite-induced SGs. These observations suggest that the presence of even a single 80S ribosome on mRNA is sufficient to prevent its recruitment into SGs, and the presence of extended ribosome-free regions of mRNA is not sufficient for SG formation. We propose that mRNA entry into SGs may be mediated by specific contacts between RNA-binding proteins and those regions on 40S subunits that remain inaccessible when ribosomes are associated.

Abstract
The studies culminating in the total synthesis of the glutarimide-containing eukaryote translation elongation inhibitor lactimidomycin are described. The optimized synthetic route features a Zn(II)-mediated intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction resulting in a highly stereoselective formation of the strained 12-membered macrolactone of lactimidomycin on a 423 mg scale. The presence of the E,Z-diene functionality was found to be key for effective macrocyclizations as a complete removal of these unsaturation units resulted in exclusive formation of the dimer rather than monocyclic enoate. The synthetic route features a late-stage installation of the glutarimide functionality via an asymmetric catalytic Mukaiyama aldol reaction, which allows for a quick generation of lactimidomycin homolog 55 containing two additional carbons in the glutarimide side chain. Similar to lactimidomycin, this analog was found to possess cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (GI50 =1-3 μM) using in vitro 2D and 3D assays. Although lactimidomycin was found to be the most potent compound in terms of anticancer activity, 55 as well as truncated analogues 50-52 lacking the glutarimide side-chain were found to be significantly less toxic against human mammary epithelial cells.
