Some macromolecules involved in translation that have been shown to be oxidized in bacteria.
1. Introduction
Accuracy of protein synthesis is critical for life since a high degree of fidelity of the translation of the genetic information is required to accomplish the needs of the cellular functions as well as to preserve the variability developed by evolution. More than one hundred macromolecules are involved in this process even in the simplest organisms, including ribosomal proteins, translation factors, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases as well as ribosomal and transfer RNAs (being rRNAs near 80% of total cellular RNAs in bacteria). Accuracy of translation of the genetic information is accomplished at different levels, being one of the most relevant the specific interaction of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases with their substrates, tRNA and amino acids. Either specific molecular interactions that avoid the miss-incorporation of amino acids or the hydrolysis of wrong aminoacyl-tRNAs represent strategies utilized by the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to reduce the formation of miss-acilated tRNAs. Additionally, the discrimination by the elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) against miss-acylated aminoacyl-tRNAs over correctly acylated increases the accuracy of incorporation of the proper aminoacyl-tRNAs to the ribosome. The accurate decodification of the mRNA by the incorporation of the aminoacyl-tRNA with the correct anticodon ensures the fidelity of translation of the genetic information. The consequence of these discriminatory events led to an accuracy of translation of the genetic information to as low as 10-4 errors per amino acid incorporated. However, certain level of inaccuracy might be tolerated, even might be beneficial to the cells under certain physiological and environmental conditions.
How does the cellular translational machinery respond against stress conditions? Is protein synthesis as accurate as in normal conditions when cells are stressed? These are topics that are not well understood. Different kinds of stressing conditions might have different responses in the components of the protein synthesis system. In this chapter, we will briefly describe how bacteria respond to two stress conditions, oxidative stress and amino acid starvation, that microorganisms are commonly exposed to including in environmental conditions.
2. Oxidation of the translation machinery during oxidative stress
Oxidative stress is defined as the condition where oxidative species production is faster than the ability of the cell to eliminate them and reduce or degrade oxidized products, leading to damage [1–3]. This condition can be met when production of or exposure to oxidative species is increased, such as when bacterial cells are attacked by the immune system of a host [4–7] or when oxygen reactive species (ROS) are generated in cyanobacteria as a byproduct of photosystem II irradiation with strong light [8]. Also, “normal” ROS levels can cause oxidative stress when there is a lower level of protective enzymes as when bacteria pass from an anaerobic environment to another with oxygen [9]. As a consequence of the increase in oxidative species concentration several macromolecules can be modified, including proteins, RNA, DNA and lipids [10–12]. In this chapter we are mainly interested in the oxidation of the first two, proteins and RNA, as they are directly involved in the translation process. Several amino acids and cofactors of proteins can be target of oxidation
When cells enter in oxidative stress several targets are oxidized decreasing the activity of many metabolic pathways including translation in both bacteria [4,20–23] and eukaryotes [24–27]. Part of this inhibition might be due to the oxidative inactivation of several enzymes involved in the metabolism of energy and amino acid synthesis [7,11,12,28,29] both of which are essential for protein synthesis. Also, several macromolecules that participate in translation have been found to be a target of oxidation in
Although many macromolecules involved in translation have been found to be target of oxidation, there is little information on the effects of this oxidation on translation and the bacterial physiology (Figure 1). The effects of oxidation of any of the ribosomal proteins or of elongation factors Tu and Ts have not been studied, although we know that the deletion of yajL (that encodes for a chaperon/oxido-reductase that protects this and other proteins during oxidative stress) increases the error rates of translation when

2.2. Oxidation of tRNA
Together with the oxidation of ribosomal proteins and translation factors, other macromolecules involved in translation can be oxidized during oxidative stress. In this context, oxidation of RNA has been found in eukaryotes during oxidative stress, senescence or some age related diseases [19,25,26]. This reaction would depend on the ability of RNA to bind Fe+2 which catalyzes its oxidation. As mRNA and especially the more abundant rRNA bind Fe+2 better than tRNAs, these molecules would be more prone to oxidize [26]. The effect of oxidation over some specific mRNAs was shown to decrease translation of those genes through either increasing ribosome stalling or decreasing translational speed [25]. Oxidation of eukaryotic ribosomes also decreases translation efficiency, although in this case it is not clear whether oxidation of rRNA or ribosomal proteins is responsible of the effect [26].
In bacteria oxidation of rRNA and mRNA has not been studied, but on the other hand tRNA is known to be subject of oxidation
Nevertheless, in the only well studied example, tRNA modification is required because it directly participates in initiating the response to oxidative stress. An important source of oxidative stress for bacteria in environments exposed to sun light is near UV irradiation (300-400 nm), which corresponds to the sun irradiation with highest energy that can cross the atmosphere [58]. Near UV irradiation of bacteria like
In
2.3. 5´-adenylyl dinucleotides and oxidative stress
Beside its direct effect on stringent response and the induction of several oxidative stress response enzymes, cross-linking of s4U also induce the synthesis of 5´-adenylyl dinucleotides of the general structure AppppN (adenosine-5´, 5´´-ribonucleotide tetraphosphate) and ApppN (adenosine-5´, 5´´-ribonucleotide triphosphate) [41]. These dinucleotides are synthesized by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases during stressful conditions such as oxidative stress and heat shock [41,64–67]. During the synthesis of aminoacyl-tRNA, aaRS produce aminoacyl-adenylate (aa-aMP) as an intermediate of the reaction (reaction 1). In this intermediate molecule the amino acid (aa) is activated for its transference to tRNA (reaction 2) [68], but the adenylate is also activated and can be transferred to either ATP, ADP, ppGpp or other nucleotides in a side reaction that forms dinucleotides of the general structure AppppN, ApppN or ApppNpp [69–71] (reaction 3). This reaction can be catalyzed by several aaRS, but the most active are Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS) and specially Lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS) [64,69].
ATP + aa → aa-AMP + PPi
aa-AMP + tRNA → aa-tRNA + AMP
aa-AMP + NDP/NTP → Appp(p)N +Pi
During UV irradiation cross-linking of s4U somehow stimulates the production of AppppA and ApppA [41], but these dinucleotides are also synthesized by bacteria under other oxidative stress conditions and during heat shock, where s4U state has not been evaluated [65–67,72]. Probably, an important source of the increase of these molecules concentration during heat shock is that the rate of dinucleotides synthesis by LysRS increases with temperature, while the rate of Lys-tRNALys synthesis decreases [64]. Also, the induction at higher temperatures of a specific LysRS isoenzyme (encoded by
Originally it was thought that these dinucleotides would function as “alarmones”, that is, small molecules that are synthesized during a stress condition (in this case oxidative stress and heat shock) and trigger a fast response to it, similar to the role of (p)ppGpp during amino acid stringency (see below) [41,65–67,74]. Nevertheless, time course experiments showed that AppppA increase in concentration lags behind the synthesis of heat shock proteins during stress conditions, suggesting that it is not an alarmon in this case [72]. Also, over expression of
2.4. Role of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases during oxidative stress
As discussed previously, LysRS and PheRS participate in the modulation of oxidative stress response through the synthesis of 5'-adenylyl dinucleotides. Many other aaRS that are oxidized during diverse oxidative stress conditions (Table 1) could also have relevant roles. Unfortunately, the effect of oxidation on most of these enzymes has not been characterized, although from some studied examples we know that oxidation can inactivate the enzyme [44] or increase its error rates [43]. In the case of human histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HisRS) apparently oxidation can even activate the enzyme [80], although we lack a thorough biochemical characterization of this oxidized enzyme.
In
The best characterized example of oxidation of a bacterial aaRS is the case of Threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) which increases its error rates after
2.5. Final remarks on the effects of oxidative stress on protein translation
While the increase of error rate by MetRS apparently protects the cell from further damage, a similar behavior by ThrRS decrease the fitness of cells to this stressful environment [43,83]. These contradictory effects of very similar phenomena are representative of what happens with all the components of the translation machinery and sometimes makes it difficult to determine whether an oxidized molecule is part of the control of protective mechanism or is itself a target of oxidation with deleterious consequences. At the same time, some of these effects can be deleterious or advantageous depending on the extent of the oxidative insult. An example of this is the role of s4U modification on tRNA. The absence of this modification prevents the lag on replication after a short near UV irradiation and thus increases the cell fitness on these conditions. Nevertheless, when exposed for longer times to near UV, bacteria survive better when are able to produce the modification.
Cells cannot avoid using reactive molecules that are necessary for catalysis, but at the same time are easy targets of oxidative species. In many cases oxidation inactivates proteins that use this molecules and also destabilize their structure enhancing the formation of protein aggregates that are toxic to the cell. Thus, bacteria also need to have systems that protect them from further damage. An important step in cell protection is to prevent the synthesis of new proteins that could be targets of oxidation by inactivating several macromolecules involved in translation (Figure 1). At the same time, cells need to activate the translation of proteins that participate in the synthesis and usage of antioxidant molecules, as well as proteases and chaperons that prevent the formation of aggregates that are toxic to bacteria. After the stressful condition has passed, translation has to be re-initiated and proteases have to be inactivated in order to prevent the degradation of newly synthesized proteins that are folded correctly. The data presented in this chapter shows that the translation system has a central role in all this process. At one side is by itself a very important target of oxidation, which affects the rate of translation and its fidelity. This has profound effects on the cellular physiology some of which are protective and others deleterious. Also, as a target of oxidation, it appears that the translation system participate in the modulation of the response to stress. We still lack enough information in order to fully understand what is the specific effect of oxidation on each of the components of the system. At the same time, although we do have some hints, we do not understand how all these components interact between them during oxidative stress or how they coordinate with other oxidative stress response components.
3. Bacterial response to amino acid starvation
During evolution, living organisms have acquired various systems to survive under adverse environmental conditions. Upon nutrient starvation, bacteria slow down all processes related to cell growth and increase the functionality of processes that overcome nutrient deficit. This generalized process is known as the stringent response and occurs in cells designated as
3.1. Biosynthesis of (p)ppGpp in the ribosome
Aminoacyl-transfer RNAs (aa-tRNAs) are essential to cell physiology since they provide the amino acids to the ribosome for the translation of the genetic information encoded in the mRNA. Aa-tRNAs are synthetized by the aminacyl-tRNA synthetases and are delivered to the ribosome by the elongation factor EF-Tu (in bacteria) in the ternary complex aa-tRNA/EF-Tu/GTP. The ternary complex is positioned in the A site of the ribosome and as long as a correct pairing of the anticodon of tRNA with the codon in the mRNA is achieved, EF-Tu is released from the complex after hydrolysis of GTP. Upon formation of the peptide bond, the deacylated tRNA is released from the ribosome and is rapidly aminoacylated again by the corresponding aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. Thus under normal growth conditions, the majority of tRNAs are aminoacylated and actively participating in protein synthesis. In contrast, under amino acid starvation, an important accumulation of deacylated tRNA takes place since the aminoacylation reaction is reduced. Under these conditions, an increasing number of A sites in the ribosome become empty or loaded with deacylated-tRNA and pausing of translation at these sites takes place [92-94]. Binding of deacylated-tRNA in the A site of the ribosome induce the formation of the RelA Activating Complex (RAC). RelA binds to RAC and catalyzes the transference of the β-γ pyrophosphate from ATP to either GTP or GDP for the formation of pppGpp or ppGpp respectively [93] (pppGpp is rapidly transformed to ppGpp, thus we will refer as ppGpp). Once ppGpp is formed, RelA is released from the ribosome but the deacylated tRNA might remain bound being released passively and independent from RelA. While deacylated-tRNA is still bound to the ribosome, it is unable to accommodate an incoming aa-tRNA/EF-Tu/GTP complex, thus it is stalled for protein synthesis. As long as RAC is active, new RelA molecules can bind and catalyze the formation of ppGpp [86]. As deacylated tRNA passively dissociates from the ribosome the stability of the interaction with the ribosome is a critical factor that influences the formation of ppGpp and thus the stringent response [95]. Recent data on the activation of RelA has shown that stalled ribosomes loaded with weakly bound deacylated-tRNAs require higher concentrations of enzyme than those loaded with tightly bound deacylated-tRNAs [96], suggesting that the recovery of cells from stringent response might be dependent on the type of starved amino acid.
3.2. Role of ppGpp in the transcription of stable RNAs and amino acids biosynthesis genes
The most well known effect of an increase in the concentration of ppGpp is the down regulation of the rRNA and tRNA transcription and thus of ribosomes and protein biosynthesis upon amino acid starvation. This is primarily an effect at the transcription level (reviewed in [97, 95]) and requires a direct interaction of the “alarmone” with the β and β´ subunits of the RNA polymerase affecting several activities, but mainly reducing transcription of rRNA genes. Biochemical, genetic and structural data indicate that ppGpp binds near the active site of RNA polymerase suggesting that the vicinity of this interaction might be involved in some of the observed effects [99-101]. There seems to be a reduced stability in the interaction between RNA polymerase and DNA in the open complex upon binding of ppGpp to the β and β´ subunits. Open complex at rRNA promoters is particularly unstable, thus this might be a requirement for the observed effect [102, 103]. However some stable open complexes are also affected by ppGpp suggesting that other mechanisms contribute to the effect of ppGpp in the activity of RNA polymerase at this level [104]. Other steps might be affected upon binding of ppGpp to RNA polymerase such as promoter clearance, open complex formation, pausing of transcription elongation and competition between ppGpp and other nucleotide substrates. These effects are not mutually exclusive and might take place at the same time.
Although the effect on stable RNAs is the major and the most well known effect on gene expression, a number of other functions related to cell growth are also affected upon ppGpp increase in the cell. Ribosomal proteins and elongation factors gene expression are negatively affected as well as fatty acids and cell wall biosynthesis. DNA biosynthesis is particularly sensitive to ppGpp and thus to amino acid starvation since in
3.3. Role of DksA in the regulation by ppGpp
DksA is a protein that was discovered as a suppressor, when overexpressed, of the thermo sensitivity of
Along with the pronounced inhibition of stable RNA transcription, positive effects on gene expression have also been observed upon increase of ppGpp levels. Two major ways to activate transcription have been proposed, direct and indirect activation. Direct activation implies the interaction of RNA polymerase with an efector such as ppGpp, DksA or both to activate transcription from a promoter. Transcription of several operons for the biosynthesis of amino acids, responding to the housekeeping σ70 factor, is activated by a direct mechanism. Promoters for the
Indirect activation of a specific promoter might be the result of the inhibition of other promoter, usually a strong one, that increases the availability of RNA polymerase to activate the target promoter [115, 116]. Evaluation of indirect activation of certain promoters comes mainly from
In general speaking, ppGpp inhibits σ70 promoters of genes involved in cell proliferation and growth and activates promoters of genes involved in stress response and maintenance.
3.4. Targets for control of translation
The major effect of ppGpp in protein synthesis is certainly the biosynthesis of stable RNAs being inhibition of the transcription of rRNA and tRNA the targets for this effect. A marked reduction of the general translation of mRNAs as a result of the reduction of ribosomes as well as tRNAs is the major response against starvation of amino acids as well as other nutrients. In addition to this generalized response, other components of the translation machinery are also affected by the stringent response. Particularly translation factors that use guanine nucleotides are also target of ppGpp. As G proteins, these are the factors that have been the subject of analysis on the effect of (p)ppGpp at the translation level. G proteins are generally small proteins that bind GTP. The hydrolysis of this nucleotide, generally assisted by a G activating protein (GAP), to form GDP that remains bound to the protein, is required for the function to take place. The removal of GDP and its exchange for GTP is generally catalyzed by additional exchange proteins (GEP) that form part of the G proteins cycle [119].
Three proteins play important roles in the initiation step of translation, IF1, IF2 and IF3, being IF2 a G protein. IF3 binds to the ribosomal 30S subunit in the 70S ribosome releasing it from the 50S subunit to initiate a new cycle of elongation for the translation of an mRNA. IF1 assists IF3 in the releasing of the 30S subunit and also allows to the fMet-tRNAfMet to be positioned in the correct P site to initiate translation. IF2 is a small G protein that in complex with GTP (IF2-GTP) binds the initiator fMet-tRNAfMet. This ternary complex docks the fMet-tRNAfMet in the small ribosome subunit. As the mRNA binds, IF3 helps to correctly position the complex such that the fMet-tRNAfMet interacts by base pairing with the initiation codon in the mRNA. The mRNA is correctly positioned, assisted by the interaction of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence with the 16S rRNA, in the small 30S subunit. As the large 50S ribosomal subunit binds to the initiation complex, it participates as a GAP, thus GTP bound to the IF2 is hydrolyzed and released from the complex as IF2-GDP.
Elongation step of translation also requires in part the participation of the G-proteins EF-Tu and EF-G to take place. EF-Tu-GTP binds all aminoacyl-tRNAs with approximately the same affinity and delivers them to the A site of the ribosome in the elongation step of protein synthesis. Once a correct codon-anticodon interaction is detected by the ribosome, a conformational change in the ribosome takes place that induces the release of the EF-Tu factor along with the hydrolysis of GTP, thus the ribosome in this conformation acts as the GAP for the EF-Tu-GTP complex. EF-Ts is the GEP that assists EF-Tu-GDP to exchange GDP for GTP to initiate another elongation cycle.
EF-G is a G protein factor that complexed with GTP participates in the translocation of the nascent peptidyl-tRNA in the ribosome. Peptidyl transferase activity of the 23S RNA in the 50S subunit forms the peptide bond between the newly incorporated aminoacyl-tRNA in the A site delivered by EF-Tu and the existing peptidyl-tRNA already positioned in the P site from previous elongation cycles. The new peptidyl-tRNA with one extra amino acid is translocated from the A to the P site by EF-G-GTP. This process also implies the movement of the free tRNA positioned in the P site to the E site in the ribosome. EF-G itself seems to carry its own GEP.
RF3 releasing factor is also a G protein that participates in the termination of translation. Its function will not be discussed in this article.
As it is expected, these G proteins have been the subject of attention as potential targets for the action of ppGpp in the control of translation under the stringent response. GTP is at very high concentrations in the cell reaching more than 1 mM under normal growth conditions whereas GDP reaches very low concentrations. Upon amino acid starvation ppGpp can accumulate at the expenses of GTP that lowers its concentrations to nearly 50% [120-122]. Both nucleotides reach similar concentrations, thus depending on their affinities for the binding sites in proteins, they might compete. It is expected that G proteins can be severely affected under starvation since the levels of GTP are lowered, but also because ppGpp might interfere with its function. These proteins have been target of analysis since the early periods after discovery of the alarmone as the factor that influenced the stringent response. Initial studies indicated that pppGpp was able to substitute GTP in the reactions of EF2 and EF-Tu, but not in the function of EF-G [123]. Later studies revealed that EF-Tu as well as EF-G are inhibited by ppGpp, but this inhibition is dependent on the conditions of the reaction. EF-Tu is inhibited only if EF-Ts is not present. The inhibition can be fully reversed by the presence of aminoacyl-tRNA and EF-Ts [124].
As was mentioned before, IF2 is a G protein involved in the initiation of translation. This factor interacts in the initiation process with different ligands, ribosomal subunits, fMet-tRNAfMet, GTP, GDP as well as ppGpp [125]. This protein participates in the entire initiation process and it has been shown by several methodologies that different conformational changes are necessary to each step. Because of the similar affinities of IF2 with GTP and GDP (dissociation constants between 10-100 μM), it is expected that under normal growth conditions (GTP 1 mM), IF2 binds the 30S subunit mostly with GTP bound. Hydrolysis of GTP, upon binding of the 50S subunit triggers the release of IF2-GDP from the initiation complex. Because this hydrolysis has not been proven as essential for this process, it led Milon et al. (2006) [126] to question the real role of this activity and asked about the reason for the evolutionary conservation of this process. The binding site of GTP and GDP in IF2, as well as in other G proteins involved in translation, is also the binding site for ppGpp. NMR data illustrates that ppGpp binds basically in the same site as GDP, although some differences might account for the different structure and function. To test the role of ppGpp on the IF2 function the authors measured the effect on different steps of the initiation process, i.e. binding of the fMet-tRNAfMet, dipeptide formation, and the translation from the initiation codons on mRNAs containing AUG or AUU as initiator codon (the later being more dependent on IF2). All these steps in initiation of translation are severely affected upon ppGpp binding. From these studies the authors concluded that binding of ppGpp to IF2 might represent the signal to inhibit translation under conditions of metabolic shortage [126]. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that ppGpp binds to IF2 with higher affinity than to EF-G. Binding of fMet-tRNAfMet to IF2 occurs with little variation in the presence of ppGpp compared to GTP while it is very sensitive to the nucleotides when complexed with the 30S subunit [127]. These results support the notion that initiation of translation is preferentially regulated by ppGpp under conditions of nutrient starvation.
3.5. Translation accuracy in the stringent response
Translational accuracy has been a topic of debate since the discovery of the stringent response. It is known that under amino acid starvation,
3.6. Overview of the effects of stringent response on translation
Upon amino acid starvation a generalized response, the stringent response, is achieved in bacterial cells. The major effector of this response is the marked increase of the cellular concentration of the nucleotide ppGpp, also known as the “magic spot” or the “alarmone”. This nucleotide is synthetized in the ribosome by the RelA protein upon activation by the presence in the A site of the ribosome of deacylated-tRNA. Two major effects on translation of the genetic information are observed. First, the dramatic reduction on the transcription of stable RNAs, i.e. rRNAs and tRNAs. The binding of ppGpp to the β and β´ of RNA polymerase triggers this effect by the destabilization of the open complex between RNA polymerase and strong promoters of stable RNAs. As consequence a marked reduction in the concentration of ribosomes and tRNAs slows down the translation of mRNAs. The second effect of the increase in the concentration of ppGpp on translation is an inhibition of translation itself by the effect on initiation and elongation steps. IF2, EF-Tu as well as EF-G are affected by the binding of ppGpp, but it seems likely that the initiation of translation through the inhibition of the IF2 function is the preferred target for the action of ppGpp to modulate the translation process. Accordingly, it has been proposed that IF2 might be a sensor to modulate translation depending on the nutritional status of the cell.
