Structural insights into unique features of the human mitochondrial ribosome recycling
Structural highlights
Disease[RT22_HUMAN] Hypotonia with lactic acidemia and hyperammonemia. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. [RT16_HUMAN] Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 2. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. [RM03_HUMAN] Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 9. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. [RM44_HUMAN] Infantile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to MRPL44 deficiency. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function[AKIP_HUMAN] May act as a negative regulator of Aurora-A kinase, by down-regulation through proteasome-dependent degradation. [RM14_HUMAN] Forms part of 2 intersubunit bridges in the assembled ribosome. Upon binding to MALSU1 intersubunit bridge formation is blocked, preventing ribosome formation and repressing translation (Probable).[1] [RT29_HUMAN] Involved in mediating interferon-gamma-induced cell death. [RM36_HUMAN] Component of the large subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome. [G45IP_HUMAN] Acts as a negative regulator of G1 to S cell cycle phase progression by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases. Inhibitory effects are additive with GADD45 proteins but occurs also in the absence of GADD45 proteins. Acts as a repressor of the orphan nuclear receptor NR4A1 by inhibiting AB domain-mediated transcriptional activity. May be involved in the hormone-mediated regulation of NR4A1 transcriptional activity. May play a role in mitochondrial protein synthesis. [RM16_HUMAN] Component of the large subunit of mitochondrial ribosome. [RM18_HUMAN] Together with thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST), acts as a mitochondrial import factor for the cytosolic 5S rRNA. The precursor form shows RNA chaperone activity; is able to fold the 5S rRNA into an import-competent conformation that is recognized by rhodanese (TST). Both the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms are able to bind to the helix IV-loop D in the gamma domain of the 5S rRNA.[2] [ICT1_HUMAN] Essential peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase component of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit. Acts as a codon-independent translation release factor that has lost all stop codon specificity and directs the termination of translation in mitochondrion, possibly in case of abortive elongation. May be involved in the hydrolysis of peptidyl-tRNAs that have been prematurely terminated and thus in the recycling of stalled mitochondrial ribosomes.[3] [PTCD3_HUMAN] Mitochondrial RNA-binding protein that has a role in mitochondrial translation.[4] [RM41_HUMAN] Component of the mitochondrial ribosome large subunit. Also involved in apoptosis and cell cycle. Enhances p53/TP53 stability, thereby contributing to p53/TP53-induced apoptosis in response to growth-inhibitory condition. Enhances p53/TP53 translocation to the mitochondria. Has the ability to arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase, possibly by stabilizing the CDKN1A and CDKN1B (p27Kip1) proteins.[5] [6] [RM44_HUMAN] Component of the 39S subunit of mitochondrial ribosome. May have a function in the assembly/stability of nascent mitochondrial polypeptides exiting the ribosome.[7] Publication Abstract from PubMedMammalian mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) are responsible for synthesizing proteins that are essential for oxidative phosphorylation (ATP generation). Despite their common ancestry with bacteria, the composition and structure of the human mitoribosome and its translational factors are significantly different from those of their bacterial counterparts. The mammalian mitoribosome recycling factor (RRFmt) carries a mito-specific N terminus extension (NTE), which is necessary for the function of RRFmt Here we present a 3.9-A resolution cryo-electron microscopic (cryo-EM) structure of the human 55S mitoribosome-RRFmt complex, which reveals alpha-helix and loop structures for the NTE that makes multiple mito-specific interactions with functionally critical regions of the mitoribosome. These include ribosomal RNA segments that constitute the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) and those that connect PTC with the GTPase-associated center and with mitoribosomal proteins L16 and L27. Our structure reveals the presence of a tRNA in the pe/E position and a rotation of the small mitoribosomal subunit on RRFmt binding. In addition, we observe an interaction between the pe/E tRNA and a mito-specific protein, mL64. These findings help understand the unique features of mitoribosome recycling.
