PMID- 36223745 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20221014 LR - 20221029 IS - 2211-1247 (Electronic) VI - 41 IP - 2 DP - 2022 Oct 11 TI - An unusual mode of baseline translation adjusts cellular protein synthesis capacity to metabolic needs. PG - 111467 LID - S2211-1247(22)01317-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.celrep.2022.111467 [doi] AB - In all domains of life, mechanisms exist that adjust translational capacity to nutrient restriction and other growth constraints. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates the synthesis of ribosomal proteins and translation factors in mammalian cells via phosphorylation of the La-related protein 1 (LARP1). In the present model of starvation-induced translational silencing, LARP1 targets mRNAs carrying a 5' terminal oligopyrimidine (5'TOP) motif to shift these into subpolysomal ribonucleoprotein particles. However, how these mRNAs would be protected from degradation and rapidly made available to restore translation capacity when needed remained enigmatic. Here, to address this, we employ gradient profiling by sequencing (Grad-seq) and monosome footprinting. Challenging the above model, we find that 5'TOP mRNAs, instead of being translationally silenced during starvation, undergo low baseline translation with reduced initiation rates. This mode of regulation ensures a stable 5'TOP mRNA population under starvation and allows fast reversibility of the translational repression. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 University of Wuerzburg.
