The Ins and Outs of Autophagic Ribosome Turnover Abstract Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis in all organisms and their biogenesis and number are tightly controlled to maintain homeostasis in changing environmental conditions. While ribosome assembly and quality control mechanisms have been extensively studied, our understanding of ribosome degradation is limited. In yeast or animal cells, ribosomes are degraded after transfer into the vacuole or lysosome by ribophagy or nonselective autophagy, and ribosomal RNA can also be transferred directly across the lysosomal membrane by RNautophagy. In plants, ribosomal RNA is degraded by the vacuolar T2 ribonuclease RNS2 after transport by autophagy-related mechanisms, although it is unknown if a selective ribophagy pathway exists in plants.

  • CELL SNAP Information
    CELL SNAP Information Chromosome Lysosome Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Mitochondrion Nucleus DNA Centriole Ribosome Rough endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Nucleus The nucleus is the largest of the organelles and is at the centre of the cell. It is the storage site of the cell’s DNA. Here DNA is copied and processed into RNA by transcription. This is the first step in the process of protein synthesis. The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane system called the nuclear envelope that contains holes known as nuclear pores. These pores allow large molecules such as proteins to pass in and out of the nucleus. Inside the nucleus is a round structure known as the nucleolus. This is where ribosomes are formed. Chromosomes Chromosomes are thread-like structures, made of DNA wrapped around a scaffold of proteins. Each human cell contains 46 chromosomes. 23 are passed down from the mother and 23 are passed down from the father. Each chromosome contains specific regions of DNA, known as genes. These are sections of DNA that carry information required to make a molecule, usually a protein. A human has between 23,000 and 25,000 genes. We talk about genes having different characteristics. For instance, if you hear about ‘genes for eye colour’, it means that these genes code for protein pigments in the iris of each of our eyes. 1/3 yourgenome.org CELL SNAP Information DNA DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that contains our genetic instructions. It is made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).

Lysosomes dispose and recycle extracellular or intracellular macromolecules by fusing with endosomes or autophagosomes through specific waste clearance processes such as chaperone-mediated autophagy or microautophagy. The proteolytic end product is transported out of lysosomes via transporters or vesicular membrane trafficking. Recent studies have demonstrated lysosomes as a signaling node which sense, adapt and respond to changes in substrate metabolism to maintain cellular function. Lysosomal dysfunction not only influence pathways mediating membrane trafficking that culminate in the lysosome but also govern metabolic and signaling processes regulating protein sorting and targeting. In this review, we describe the current knowledge of lysosome in influencing sorting and nutrient signaling. We further present a mechanistic overview of intra-lysosomal processes, along with extra-lysosomal processes, governing lysosomal fusion and fission, exocytosis, positioning and membrane contact site formation. This review compiles existing knowledge in the field of lysosomal biology by describing various lysosomal events necessary to maintain cellular homeostasis facilitating development of therapies maintaining lysosomal function.

The cytoskeleton is a network of long, thin protein fi bers that provide an anchor for organelles inside the cell. The cell’s shape and movement depend on the cytoskeleton. Two types of protein fi bers make up the cytoskeleton. Microtubules are long, hollow protein cylinders that form a fi rm skeleton for the cell. They assist in moving substances within the cell.

However, lysosomes of C. merolae have yet to be identified. Polyphosphate have been known to be accumulated in the vacuoles of many microorganisms including alga. The cells stained with Neisser staining method, which visualizes polyphosphate bodies, showed the lysosome-like structures. They were about 500 nm in diameter and usually found as four copies in a single cell. The structures changed their localization dynamically during the cell cycle. During interphase, they were observed in the cytosol. At the beginning of mitosis, they moved over the mitochondria. During cy- tokinesis, they were inherited to the daughter cells almost evenly, suggesting the existence of mecha- nisms for the ordered partitioning. Key words Cyanidioschyzon merolae, Lysosomes, Polyphosphate, Neisser staining method. The unicellular red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae is a small organism (2 mm in diameter) that lives in sulfate-rich acidic hot springs (pH 1.5, 45°C). This alga has been used for studies of or- ganelles, especially for proliferation and partitioning of organelles, because the cells contain only one nucleus, mitochondrion, chloroplast, microbody, and Golgi body (Kuroiwa et al.

Previous studies suggest HIV infection alters autophagy function in the aging CNS and HIV-1 proteins affect autophagy in monocyte-derived cells. Despite these findings, the mechanisms leading to dysregulated autophagy in the CNS remain unclear. Here we sought to determine how HIV Tat dysregulates autophagy in neurons. Tat caused a dose-dependent decrease in autophagosome markers, microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain ␤ II (LC3II), and sequestosome 1(SQSTM1), in a membrane-enriched fraction, suggesting Tat increases autophagic degradation. Bafilomycin A1 increased autophagosome number, LC3II, and SQSTM1 accumulation; Tat cotreatment diminished this effect. Tat had no effect when 3-methyladenine or knockdown of beclin 1 blocked early stages of autophagy. Tat increased numbers of LC3 puncta and resulted in the formation of abnormal autophago- somes in vitro. Likewise, in vivo studies in GFAP-Tat tg mice showed increased autophagosome accumulation in neurons, altered LC3II levels, and neurodegeneration.

Lysosomal exocytosis is a process leading to the secretion of lysosomal content upon lysosome fusion with plasma membrane and is an important mechanism of cellular clearance, necessary to maintain cell fitness. Exosomes are a class of extracellular vesicles originating from the inward budding of the membrane of late endosomes, which may not fuse with lysosomes but be released extracellularly upon exocytosis.

Ward1 & Jamie H. D. Cate 1,2,3,4 Methods to directly inhibit gene expression using small molecules hold promise for the development of new therapeutics targeting proteins that have evaded previous attempts at drug discovery. Among these, small molecules including the drug-like compound PF- fi 1234567890():,; 06446846 (PF846) selectively inhibit the synthesis of speci c proteins, by stalling transla- tion elongation. These molecules also inhibit translation termination by an unknown mechanism. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and biochemical approaches, we show that PF846 inhibits translation termination by arresting the nascent chain (NC) in the ribosome exit tunnel. The arrested NC adopts a compact α-helical conformation that induces 28 S rRNA nucleotide rearrangements that suppress the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) catalytic activity stimulated by eukaryotic release factor 1 (eRF1). These data support a mechanism of action for a small molecule targeting translation that suppresses peptidyl- tRNA hydrolysis promoted by eRF1, revealing principles of eukaryotic translation termination and laying the foundation for new therapeutic strategies. 1 Department of Molecular & Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. 2 Innovative Genomics Institute, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. 3 Molecular Biophysics and
