Initiation of translation in procaryotes : a key step for regulation

Initiation of translation in procaryotes : a key step for regulation

Initiation Factor 3, IF3

Garcia C, Fortier PL, Blanquet S, Lallemand JY, Dardel F

Solution structure of the ribosome-binding domain of E. coli translation initiation factor IF3. Homology with the U1A protein of the eukaryotic spliceosome J. Mol. Biol. v254, p.247-259

Initiation of translation in prokaryotes requires the formation of a complex between the messenger RNA, the 30 S ribosomal subunit and the initiator tRNA(fMet). Initiation factor IF3 binds to the 30 S ribosomal subunit and proof-reads the initiation complex, thereby ensuring the accuracy of this step. IF3 also plays a pleiotropic role in the regulation of translation, as a result of differential influences exerted on the levels of the initiation of translation of genes or groups of genes....

Introduction

Endospores formed by members of the Clostridium/ Bacillus subphylum typically consist of a dehydrated core containing the chromosome, a double membrane layer, a peptidoglycan cortex, and a proteinaceous coat - struc-tures which allow spore survival of extremely harsh conditions (Driks. 2003). The principal core proteins -small acid-soluble proteins - bind and saturate the DNA (Setlow. 1966; Driks. 2002a.b). The cortex is a specialized peptidoglycan. which constricts and maintains dehydra¬tion within the core (Popham etaf.: 1995; Driks: 2003).

Results and Conclusions

Results and Conclusions

  • Integrated analysis via EM, direct protein sequencing of glycosylated and de-glycosylated coat proteins using Edman based as well as Mass Spectrometry based sequencing allowed to design primers for genomic sequencing.
  • A genomic gene map of the coat protein genes could be constracted.

Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry (MS)

Multiply charged ions of the analyte (e.g., a protein sample) are formed by protonation in an acidic solvent One, several, or many positive charges are detected Analyte is sprayed through a high-voltage nozzle into a vacuum chamber Solvent evaporate, leaving ‘naked’ ions of the multiply charged analyte Ions are detected according to mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio Detected ions are displayed as a series according to m/z ratio Computer deconvolution of the m/z peak series leads to the molecular weight of the analyte

Applications of Proteomics

  • Protein Mining – catalog all the proteins present in a tissue, cell, organelle, etc.
  • Differential Expression Profiling – Identification of proteins in a sample as a function of a particular state: differentiation, stage of development, disease state, response to drug or stimulus
  • Network Mapping – Identification of proteins in functional networks: biosynthetic pathways, signal transduction pathways, multiprotein complexes
  • Mapping Protein Modifications – Characterization of posttranslational modifications: phosphorylation, glycosylation, oxidation, etc.

Why is Sequence Information Important

  • A protein’s amino acid sequence is unique.
    • As little as 5 amino acid sequences can ID a protein
  • The sequence defines the primary structure of the protein
    • the primary structure is fundamental to understanding the structure and function of the protein
  • The interrelationship between an amino acid sequence and the corresponding DNA sequence
    • Protein sequences access gene sequences and are key to molecular biology
Why is Sequence Information Important

Current Methods for Proteome Research

  • SDS-PAGE
    • separates based on molecular weight and/or isoelectric point
    • 10 fmol - > 10 pmol sensitivity
    • Tracks protein expression patterns
  • Protein Sequencing
    • Edman degradation or internal sequence analysis
    • LC-MS/MS
  • Immunological Methods
    • Western Blots
Drawbacks

  • SDS-Page can track the appearance, disappearance or molecular weight shifts of proteins, but can not ID the protein or measure the molecular weight with any accuracy
  • Edman degradation requires a large amount of protein and does not work on N-terminal blocked proteins
  • Western blotting is presumptive, requires the availability of suitable antibodies and have limited confidence in the ID related to the specificity of the antibody.

Advantageous of Mass Spectrometry

  • Sensitivity in attomole range
  • Rapid speed of analysis
  • Ability to characterize and locate post-translational modifications

Micro-Sequencing by Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS)

  • Ions of interest are selected in the first mass analyzer
  • Collision Induced Dissociation (CID) is used to fragment the selected ions by colliding the ions with gas (typically Argon for low energy CID)
  • The second mass analyzer measures the fragment ions
  • The types of fragment ions observed in an MS/MS spectrum depend on many factors including primary sequence, the amount of internal energy, how the energy was introduced, charge state, etc.
  • Fragmentation of peptides (amino acid chains) typically occurs along the peptide backbone. Each residue of the peptide chain successively fragments off, both in the N->C and C->N direction.
