Publisher Summary


The genetic and biochemical data concerning the signal recognition particle (SRP)-targeting pathway in E.coli, together with the recently available structures of most of the players in the field, have significantly expanded the knowledge of the functions of these players and of the interplay among these protein complexes. This chapter focuses on the different stages of SRP-mediated protein targeting in bacteria—from the synthesis on ribosome to the final handover of the protein to the SecYEGcomplex in the inner membrane (IM)—and on the complexity of interactions between the newly synthesized polypeptides and cellular factors that control their destiny. In E. coli, SRP binds to the large ribosomal subunit component L23, where it interacts with hydrophobic transmembrane TM segments in nascent inner membrane proteins (IMPs) emerging from the ribosome. However, several pressing issues need to be addressed such as additional structural investigations of the interactions among modules of the same species that are crucial and need to be carried out. However, more structural data are required that will undoubtedly shed light on the fascinating relationship between chaperones and targeting factors during the early events of protein targeting to the E. coli IM.

I Introduction


In all organisms, genetic messages are translated primarily by cytosolic ribosomes, yet the translation products end up in a variety of cellular locations. Nascent polypeptide chains emerging from the ribosomal exit are facing a pool of chaperones, folding catalysts, and targeting factors, which efficiently partition between proteins that need to be folded in the cytosol and proteins that need to be transferred into or through membranes. In Gram-negative bacteria, proteins destined for the secretory apparatus are equipped with an N-terminal extension called the signal peptide (reviewed in [1]). The signal peptide directs the secretory proteins (periplasmic and outer membrane proteins) into the SecB pathway, where, during or after translocation through the inner membrane (IM), the signal peptides are cleaved off by signal peptidases. Most inner membrane proteins (IMPs) lack a cleavable signal peptide. They are anchored into the IM by hydrophobic α-helical transmembrane (TM) segments. These TM segments may also act as targeting signals in which case they are recognized by the signal recognition particle (SRP) that directs the polypeptides to the Sec complex at the IM (reviewed in [2, 3]). In contrast to translocation of unfolded proteins across the IM via the Sec system, the twin-arginine translocation (TAT) system can only transport proteins that are completely folded (reviewed in [4]).

The decision on a protein's destiny is probably made early during its synthesis on the ribosome, since both SRP and chaperones such as trigger factor (TF) bind close to the ribosomal exit site where they can associate with the emerging nascent chain. In this chapter, we will focus on the different stages of SRP-mediated protein targeting in bacteria—from the synthesis on the ribosome to the final handover of the protein to the SecYEG complex in the IM—and on the complexity of interactions between the newly synthesized polypeptides and cellular factors that control their destiny.

II The Ribosome


Protein synthesis is catalyzed by the ribosome, a highly conserved macromolecular complex present in all living cells [5]. Both the small and large subunit of the ribosome is composed of RNA and proteins. The small subunit mainly decodes genetic information [6, 7], while the large subunit is responsible for peptide elongation and protein release. Peptide bond formation occurs in the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) [8, 9].

A THE RIBOSOMAL TUNNEL


Crystal structures of archaeal and eubacterial large ribosomal subunits [812] show a long tunnel running from the PTC to the ribosomal proteins L23/L24/L29 at the surface of the ribosome. It has been suggested that this is the normal exit path from the ribosome for nascent peptides [10]. However, some polypeptides may leave the PTC via the interface of the two ribosomal subunits [13]. In addition, three-dimensional cryo-electron microscopy (EM) maps of the ribosome reveal several side branches of the tunnel that may reflect alternative exit sites [14, 15]. Nevertheless, cross-linking studies suggest that nascent chains, irrespective of their future destination, exit the ribosome near L23 [1619].

The length of the main tunnel is about 100 Å, and its diameter varies from 10 to 20 Å. The inner surface of the tunnel consists mainly of rRNA, but nonglobular parts of the ribosomal proteins L4 and L22 also contribute [9, 10]. The resulting surface is largely hydrophilic and uncharged, thus facilitating the passage of all kinds of peptide sequences [10]. A long β-hairpin loop of L22 lies approximately parallel to the tunnel axis, making this ribosomal protein the largest protein contributor to the inner surface of the tunnel. The ribosomal proteins L23, L24, and L29 flank the exit of the tunnel.

The tunnel was initially thought to be a narrow passage through a rigid structure that precludes significant protein folding [10]. Structural studies, however, suggest that the ribosome is rather dynamic and adopts different functional conformations [15,2022]. In addition, several reports have demonstrated that nascent proteins fold to various degrees inside the ribosome [2326]. Consequently, the ribosomal tunnel must expand considerably during protein synthesis to accommodate folded nascent polypeptides [24, 27]. However, this view has been questioned by Voss et al. [28]. On the basis of geometric analysis of the ribosomal tunnel in Haloarcula marismortui, it was proposed that the tunnel is not wide enough to accommodate folded polypeptides larger than α-helices [28].

Although the ribosomal tunnel wall has a “nonstick” character [10], certain nascent chains can interact with the tunnel, thereby causing translational pausing (reviewed in [13, 29, 30]). One striking example is the SecM protein [31]. SecM includes a 17 amino acid sequence motif that can block protein elongation and create a stalled ribosomal complex in the absence of a functional protein export system. It was demonstrated by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) that the SecM C-terminus adopts a compact conformation on synthesis of the arrest motif, which appeared essential for the translocation arrest and which was specifically induced by the ribosome [26]. It was proposed that translation arrest by SecM results from series of reciprocal interactions between the ribosome and the C-terminal part of the nascent SecM polypeptide. On the basis of cryo-EM reconstructions of pretranslocational and SecM-stalled Escherichia coli ribosome complexes, Mitra et al. [32] also suggested that SecM induces a cascade of ribosomal conformational changes that lock the mRNA-tRNA complex on the ribosome, such that elongation is stalled [32]. It was previously shown that SecM-mediated elongation arrest can be bypassed by mutations in the 23S rRNA or in L22 at a constriction area in the tunnel, which might act as a discriminating gate [31]. Taken together, the cryo-EM and the biochemical data suggest that nascent chain interactions and structural rearrangements in the ribosomal interior affect translation rates of nascent polypeptide chains.

B SENSING NASCENT SECRETORY AND MEMBRANE PROTEINS IN THE TUNNEL?


As discussed above, nascent peptides may have specific interactions already in the ribosome tunnel, which may regulate translation. In addition, specific interactions and conformational changes in the ribosome may be sensed and transduced to the surface of the ribosome influencing downstream interactions and topogenesis of the protein synthesized [13, 29, 30]. In concreto, future TM segments may be recognized already inside the ribosome. These intraribosomal contacts may have a profound impact on downstream processes such as the extraribosomal contacts with chaperones, targeting factors, and translocon components (reviewed in [33]). A fluorescence quenching study from the Johnson group has indicated that, in eukaryotes, a TM segment inside the ribosome induces conformational changes in the Sec translocon in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane [34]. How is the presence of a TM segment at the entrance of the ribosomal tunnel signaled to the exit site of the ribosome, and sequentially, causes a conformational change in the translocon?
