General translational repression by activators of mRNA decapping

Jeff Coller et al. Cell. .

Abstract

Translation and mRNA degradation are affected by a key transition where eukaryotic mRNAs exit translation and assemble an mRNP state that accumulates into processing bodies (P bodies), cytoplasmic sites of mRNA degradation containing non-translating mRNAs, and mRNA degradation machinery. We identify the decapping activators Dhh1p and Pat1p as functioning as translational repressors and facilitators of P body formation. Strains lacking both Dhh1p and Pat1p show strong defects in mRNA decapping and P body formation and are blocked in translational repression. Contrastingly, overexpression of Dhh1p or Pat1p causes translational repression, P body formation, and arrests cell growth. Dhh1p, and its human homolog, RCK/p54, repress translation in vitro, and Dhh1p function is bypassed in vivo by inhibition of translational initiation. These results identify a broadly acting mechanism of translational repression that targets mRNAs for decapping and functions in translational control VSports手机版. We propose this mechanism is competitively balanced with translation, and shifting this balance is an important basis of translational control. .

Figure 1. Dhh1p and Pat1p Have Additive Effects on P Body Formation and Are Required for Translational Repression
(A) Using Dcp2p-GFP as a marker, P bodies were observed in wild-type (WT), dhh1Δ, pat1Δ, dhh1Δ/pat1Δ, or dcp1Δ strains. (B) Depicted are polysome profiles (OD260nm traces) of WT, dhh1Δ, pat1Δ, dhh1Δ/pat1Δ, or dcp1Δ before and after glucose deprivation. The nontranslating region (RNP), 80S monosome (80S), and polysomes (P) are indicated above. (C) Northern of RPL41a mRNA following polysome analysis in WT or dhh1Δ/pat1Δ before and after glucose deprivation. (D) Incorporation of [35S]methionine in WT and dhh1Δ/pat1Δ cells before and after glucose deprivation. Values are reported as cpm incorporated. Time after label addition indicated. (E) Polysome profiles (OD260nm traces) of WT and dhh1Δ/pat1Δ strains before and after amino acid deprivation.

P bodies were visualized using Dcp2p-GFP. (B) Incorporation of [35S]methionine in cells overexpressing Dhh1p, Pat1p, or a vector control. Values are reported as cpm incorporated. Time after addition of label indicated. (C) Northerns of the PGK1 and RPL41a mRNA following polysome analysis, in control cells, or cells overexpressing Dhh1p or Pat1p. Minutes after induction are indicated. Nontranslating (RNP) and translating areas (polysomes) are indicated above. (D) Western analysis indicating location of Dhh1p on a sucrose gradient. (E) Growth of yeast cells when Dhh1p, Pat1p, Dcp1p, Dcp2p, or Edc3p are overexpressed. Cells were plated on either glucose media, or galactose.

This competition creates a finely balanced system setting the relative translation rate for an mRNA. mRNAs can be driven into either translation or repression by tipping the balance of this competition via any number of events.
