    Abstract DEAD-box proteins are a subfamily of ATPases with similarity to RecA-type helicases that are involved in all aspects of RNA Biology. Despite their potential to regulate these processes via their RNA-dependent ATPase activity, their roles remain poorly characterized. Here I describe a roadmap to study these proteins in the context of ribosome assembly, the process that utilizes more than half of all DEAD-box proteins encoded in the yeast genome.

    Abstract The coordinated integration of ribosomal RNA and protein into two functional ribosomal subunits is safeguarded by quality control checkpoints that ensure ribosomes are correctly assembled and functional before they engage in translation. Quality control is critical in maintaining the integrity of ribosomes and necessary to support healthy cell growth and prevent diseases associated with mistakes in ribosome assembly. Its importance is demonstrated by the finding that bypassing quality control leads to misassembled, malfunctioning ribosomes with altered translation fidelity, which change gene expression and disrupt protein homeostasis. In this review, we outline our understanding of quality control within ribosome synthesis and how failure to enforce quality control contributes to human disease. We first provide a definition of quality control to guide our investigation, briefly present the main assembly steps, and then examine stages of assembly that test ribosome function, establish a pass-fail system to evaluate these functions, and contribute to altered ribosome performance when bypassed, and are thus considered "quality control."

    Abstract Ribosomes are complex macromolecules assembled from 4 rRNAs and 79 ribosomal proteins (RPs). Their assembly is organized in a highly hierarchical manner, which is thought to avoid dead-end pathways, thereby enabling efficient assembly of ribosomes in the large quantities needed for healthy cellular growth. Moreover, hierarchical assembly also can help ensure that each RP is included in the mature ribosome. Nonetheless, how this hierarchy is achieved remains unknown, beyond the examples that depend on direct RP-RP interactions, which account for only a fraction of the observed dependencies. Using assembly of the small subunit head and a disease-associated mutation in the assembly factor Ltv1 as a model system, we dissect here how the hierarchy in RP binding is constructed. Our data demonstrate that the LIPHAK-disease-associated Ltv1 mutation leads to global defects in head assembly, which are explained by direct binding of Ltv1 to 5 out of 15 RPs, and indirect effects that affect 4 additional RPs. These indirect effects are mediated by conformational transitions in the nascent subunit that are regulated by Ltv1. Mechanistically, Ltv1 aids the recruitment of some RPs via direct protein-protein interactions, but surprisingly also delays the recruitment of other RPs. Delayed binding of key RPs also delays the acquisition of RNA structure that is stabilized by these proteins. Finally, our data also indicate direct roles for Ltv1 in chaperoning the folding of a key rRNA structural element, the three-helix junction j34-35-38. Thus, Ltv1 plays critical roles in organizing the order of both RP binding to rRNA and rRNA folding, thereby enabling efficient 40S subunit assembly.

    Abstract While RNAs are known to misfold, the underlying molecular causes have been mainly studied in fragments of biologically relevant larger RNAs. As these small RNAs are dominated by secondary structures, misfolding of these secondary structures remains the most-explored cause for global RNA misfolding. Conversely, how RNA chaperones function in a biological context to promote native folding beyond duplex annealing remains unknown. Here, in a combination of dimethylsulfate mutational profiling with sequencing (DMS-MaPseq), structural analyses, biochemical experiments, and yeast genetics, we show that three-helix junctions are prone to misfolding during assembly of the small ribosomal subunit in vivo. We identify ubiquitous roles for ribosome assembly factors in chaperoning their folding by preventing the formation of premature tertiary interactions, which otherwise kinetically trap misfolded junctions, thereby blocking further progress in the assembly cascade. While these protein chaperones act indirectly by binding the interaction partners of junctions, our analyses also suggest direct roles for small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in binding and chaperoning helical junctions during transcription. While these assembly factors do not utilize energy to ameliorate misfolding, our data demonstrate how their dissociation renders reversible folding steps irreversible, thereby driving native folding and assembly and setting up a timer that dictates the propensity of misfolded intermediates to escape quality control. Finally, the data demonstrate that RNA chaperones act locally on individual tertiary interactions, in contrast to protein chaperones, which globally unfold misfolded proteins.

    Abstract DMS (dimethylsulfate) is a time-tested chemical probe for nucleic acid secondary structure that has recently re-emerged as a powerful tool to study RNA structure and structural changes, by coupling it to high throughput sequencing techniques. This variant, termed DMS-MaPseq, allows for mapping of all RNAs in a cell at the same time. However, if an RNA adopts different structures, for example during the assembly of an RNA-protein complex, or as part of its functional cycle, then DMS-MaPseq cannot differentiate between these structures, and an ensemble average will be produced. This is especially challenging for long-lived RNAs, such as ribosomes, whose steady-state abundance far exceeds that of any assembly intermediates, rendering those inaccessible to DMS-MaPseq on total RNAs. These challenges can be overcome by purification of assembly intermediates stalled at specific assembly steps (or steps in the functional cycle), via a combination of affinity tags and mutants stalled at defined steps, and subsequent DMS probing of these intermediates. Interpretation of the differences in DMS accessibility is facilitated by additional structural information, e.g. from cryo-EM experiments, available for many functional RNAs. While this approach is generally useful for studying RNA folding or conformational changes within RNA-protein complexes, it can be particularly valuable for studying the role(s) of DEAD-box proteins, as these tend to lead to larger conformational rearrangements, often resulting from the release of an RNA-binding protein from a bound RNA. Here we provide an adaptation of the DMS-MaPseq protocol to study RNA conformational transitions during ribosome assembly, which addresses the challenges arising from the presence of many assembly intermediates, all at concentrations far below that of mature ribosomes. While this protocol was developed for the yeast S. cerevisiae, we anticipate that it should be readily transferable to other model organisms for which affinity purification has been established.
