Received: 14 July 2020; Accepted: 26 August 2020; Published: 30 August 2020 Abstract: RNA granules, such as stress granules and processing bodies, can balance the storage, degradation, and translation of mRNAs in diverse eukaryotic organisms. The sessile nature of plants demands highly versatile strategies to respond to environmental fluctuations. In this review, we discuss recent findings of the dynamics and functions of these RNA granules in plants undergoing developmental reprogramming or responding to environmental stresses. Special foci include the dynamic assembly, disassembly, and regulatory roles of these RNA granules in determining the fate of mRNAs. Keywords: stress granules; processing bodies; mRNA decay; translation 1. Introduction A healthy balance of mRNA destinies, including decay, translation, and sequestration, is crucial for plants to optimize growth and development and combat biotic/abiotic environmental stresses. A plethora of mechanisms are responsible for mRNAs destined for degradation, including de-adenylation of the polyA tail and mRNA decapping followed by 50 to 30 decay, 30 to 50 mRNA decay, and co-translational decay [1,2]. The translation control of mRNAs often involves the formation of mRNA–ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) complexes, namely ribosomes/polysomes, and membraneless RNA granules formed via liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). LLPS is often triggered by proteins with intrinsically disordered regions that induce the aggregation of complex proteins or protein–RNA networks, such as stress granules (SGs) or processing bodies (p-bodies) [3,4]. SGs function primarily to store mRNA–ribosome complexes to halt translation, whereas functions of p-body components have been implicated in both mRNA decay and translation repression [5]. The protein constituents of SGs and p-bodies have been previously reviewed [6,7]. Briefly, in plants, p-bodies contain many RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and key factors for mRNAs decay, including decapping complexes, 50 to 30 exoribonuclease, de-adenylation factors, small-RNA-dependent slicer protein Argonaute1, and factors involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay [7]. SGs are composed of polyadenylated mRNAs, translation initiating factors, the 40S ribosome subunit, RNA-binding proteins, and regulators of gene silencing [6]. A recent study involving the affinity purification of proteins and metabolites co-purified with the GFP-tagged SG marker Rbp47b has significantly expanded the protein repertoire of plant SGs [8]. In addition to the conserved components for SG assembly and dynamics, this study also discovered important regulators and stress-related proteins associated with SGs, including a key cell-cycle regulator cyclin-dependent kinase A. Intriguingly, this study also identified SG-associated metabolites, nucleotides, amino acids, and phospholipids, implying that SGs Plants 2020, 9, 1122; doi:10.3390/plants9091122 www.mdpi.com/journal/plants Plants 2020, 9, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 12 and phospholipids, implying that SGs can also sequester small molecules [8].

Abstract Strategies have not been available until recently to uncover interacting protein networks specific to key cell types, their subcellular compartments, and their major regulators during complex in vivo events. Here we apply BioID2 proximity labeling to capture protein networks acting within cardiomyocytes during a key model of innate heart regeneration in zebrafish. Transgenic zebrafish expressing a promiscuous BirA2 localized to the entire myocardial cell or membrane compartment were generated, each identifying unique proteomes in adult cardiomyocytes that became altered during regeneration.

Read Full License Page 1/49 Abstract Proximity labeling (PL) with genetically-targeted promiscuous enzymes has emerged as a powerful tool for unbiased proteome discovery. By combining the spatiotemporal specicity of PL with methods for functional protein enrichment, it should be possible to map specic protein subclasses within distinct compartments of living cells. Here we demonstrate this capability for RNA binding proteins (RBPs), by combining peroxidase-based PL with organic-aqueous phase separation of crosslinked protein-RNA complexes (“APEX-PS”). We validated APEX-PS by mapping nuclear RBPs, then applied it to uncover the RBPomes of two unpuriable subcompartments - the nucleolus and the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM). At the OMM, we discovered the RBP SYNJ2BP, which retains specic nuclear-encoded mitochondrial mRNAs during translation stress, to promote their local translation and import of protein products into the mitochondrion during stress recovery. APEX-PS is a versatile tool for compartment- specic RBP discovery and expands the scope of PL to functional protein mapping. Introduction RNA-protein interactions are pervasive in both transient and stable macromolecular complexes underlying transcription, translation and stress response 1, 2.

Stress granules are similar to neuronal and germ cell granules, play a role in survival during stress, and aberrant, cytotoxic SGs are implicated in neurodegeneration2–4. Perturbations in the ubiquitin-proteasome (UPS) system also cause neurodegeneration5–10, and alter the dynamicity and kinetics of SGs11–14. Using single mRNA imaging in live cells15,16, we took an unbiased approach to determine if defects in the UPS perturb mRNA translation and partitioning into SGs during acute stress. We observe ribosomes stall on mRNAs during arsenite stress, and the release of transcripts from stalled ribosomes for their partitioning into SGs requires the activities of valosin-containing protein (VCP) and the proteasome, which is in contrast to previous work showing VCP primarily affected SG disassembly 11,13,14,17.

Towers1, Naila Haq1, John A. Porco Jr. 2, Jerry Pelletier3, Sally J. Dawson 1 & Jonathan E. Gale 1 Stress granules regulate RNA translation during cellular stress, a mechanism that is generally presumed to be protective, since stress granule dysregulation caused by mutation or ageing is associated with neurodegenerative disease. Here, we investigate whether pharmacological manipulation of the stress granule pathway in the auditory organ, the cochlea, afects the survival of sensory hair cells during aminoglycoside ototoxicity, a common cause of acquired hearing loss. We show that hydroxamate (-)- 9, a silvestrol analogue that inhibits eIF4A, induces stress granule formation in both an auditory cell line and ex-vivo cochlear cultures and that it prevents ototoxin-induced hair-cell death. In contrast, preventing stress granule formation using the small molecule inhibitor ISRIB increases hair-cell death. Furthermore, we provide the frst evidence of stress granule formation in mammalian hair cells in-vivo triggered by aminoglycoside treatment. Our results demonstrate that pharmacological induction of stress granules enhances cell survival in native-tissue, in a clinically-relevant context. This establishes stress granules as a viable therapeutic target not only for hearing loss but also other neurodegenerative diseases. Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit observed with ageing1. Recently, age-related hearing loss (ARHL) was identifed as a major risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia2,3, highlighting the poten- tial for common molecular pathological mechanisms.

SGs form when stress-activated pathways stall translation initiation but allow elongation and termina- tion to occur normally, resulting in a sudden excess of mRNPs that are spatially condensed into discrete foci by protein:protein, protein:RNA, and RNA:RNA interactions. In contrast, PBs can exist in the absence of stress, when specific factors promote mRNA deadenylation, condensation, and sequestration from the translational machinery.

  • In Vivo Interactome Profiling by Enzyme‐Catalyzed Proximity Labeling
    Xu et al. Cell Biosci (2021) 11:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13578-021-00542-3 Cell & Bioscience REVIEW Open Access In vivo interactome profling by enzyme‐ catalyzed proximity labeling Yangfan Xu1,2,3, Xianqun Fan2,3* and Yang Hu1* Abstract Enzyme-catalyzed proximity labeling (PL) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a revolutionary approach to reveal the protein-protein interaction networks, dissect complex biological processes, and character- ize the subcellular proteome in a more physiological setting than before. The enzymatic tags are being upgraded to improve temporal and spatial resolution and obtain faster catalytic dynamics and higher catalytic efciency. In vivo application of PL integrated with other state of the art techniques has recently been adapted in live animals and plants, allowing questions to be addressed that were previously inaccessible. It is timely to summarize the current state of PL-dependent interactome studies and their potential applications. We will focus on in vivo uses of newer ver- sions of PL and highlight critical considerations for successful in vivo PL experiments that will provide novel insights into the protein interactome in the context of human diseases.
