    The complete structure of the large subunit of the mammalian mitochondrial ribosome (2014)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-10-02
    Description: Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) are extensively modified ribosomes of bacterial descent specialized for the synthesis and insertion of membrane proteins that are critical for energy conversion and ATP production inside mitochondria. Mammalian mitoribosomes, which comprise 39S and 28S subunits, have diverged markedly from the bacterial ribosomes from which they are derived, rendering them unique compared to bacterial, eukaryotic cytosolic and fungal mitochondrial ribosomes. We have previously determined at 4.9 A resolution the architecture of the porcine (Sus scrofa) 39S subunit, which is highly homologous to the human mitoribosomal large subunit. Here we present the complete atomic structure of the porcine 39S large mitoribosomal subunit determined in the context of a stalled translating mitoribosome at 3.4 A resolution by cryo-electron microscopy and chemical crosslinking/mass spectrometry. The structure reveals the locations and the detailed folds of 50 mitoribosomal proteins, shows the highly conserved mitoribosomal peptidyl transferase active site in complex with its substrate transfer RNAs, and defines the path of the nascent chain in mammalian mitoribosomes along their idiosyncratic exit tunnel. Furthermore, we present evidence that a mitochondrial tRNA has become an integral component of the central protuberance of the 39S subunit where it architecturally substitutes for the absence of the 5S ribosomal RNA, a ubiquitous component of all cytoplasmic ribosomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Greber, Basil J -- Boehringer, Daniel -- Leibundgut, Marc -- Bieri, Philipp -- Leitner, Alexander -- Schmitz, Nikolaus -- Aebersold, Ruedi -- Ban, Nenad -- England -- Nature. 2014 Nov 13;515(7526):283-6. doi: 10.1038/nature13895.

    Architecture of the large subunit of the mammalian mitochondrial ribosome (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-12-24
    Description: Mitochondrial ribosomes synthesize a number of highly hydrophobic proteins encoded on the genome of mitochondria, the organelles in eukaryotic cells that are responsible for energy conversion by oxidative phosphorylation. The ribosomes in mammalian mitochondria have undergone massive structural changes throughout their evolution, including ribosomal RNA shortening and acquisition of mitochondria-specific ribosomal proteins. Here we present the three-dimensional structure of the 39S large subunit of the porcine mitochondrial ribosome determined by cryo-electron microscopy at 4.9 A resolution. The structure, combined with data from chemical crosslinking and mass spectrometry experiments, reveals the unique features of the 39S subunit at near-atomic resolution and provides detailed insight into the architecture of the polypeptide exit site. This region of the mitochondrial ribosome has been considerably remodelled compared to its bacterial counterpart, providing a specialized platform for the synthesis and membrane insertion of the highly hydrophobic protein components of the respiratory chain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Greber, Basil J -- Boehringer, Daniel -- Leitner, Alexander -- Bieri, Philipp -- Voigts-Hoffmann, Felix -- Erzberger, Jan P -- Leibundgut, Marc -- Aebersold, Ruedi -- Ban, Nenad -- England -- Nature. 2014 Jan 23;505(7484):515-9. doi: 10.1038/nature12890.

    Crystal structure of the eukaryotic 60S ribosomal subunit in complex with initiation factor 6 (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-05
    Description: Protein synthesis in all organisms is catalyzed by ribosomes. In comparison to their prokaryotic counterparts, eukaryotic ribosomes are considerably larger and are subject to more complex regulation. The large ribosomal subunit (60S) catalyzes peptide bond formation and contains the nascent polypeptide exit tunnel. We present the structure of the 60S ribosomal subunit from Tetrahymena thermophila in complex with eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6), cocrystallized with the antibiotic cycloheximide (a eukaryotic-specific inhibitor of protein synthesis), at a resolution of 3.5 angstroms. The structure illustrates the complex functional architecture of the eukaryotic 60S subunit, which comprises an intricate network of interactions between eukaryotic-specific ribosomal protein features and RNA expansion segments. It reveals the roles of eukaryotic ribosomal protein elements in the stabilization of the active site and the extent of eukaryotic-specific differences in other functional regions of the subunit. Furthermore, it elucidates the molecular basis of the interaction with eIF6 and provides a structural framework for further studies of ribosome-associated diseases and the role of the 60S subunit in the initiation of protein synthesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Klinge, Sebastian -- Voigts-Hoffmann, Felix -- Leibundgut, Marc -- Arpagaus, Sofia -- Ban, Nenad -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Nov 18;334(6058):941-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1211204.
