    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.

    Ribosome. The complete structure of the 55S mammalian mitochondrial ribosome (2015)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-04-04
    Description: Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) synthesize mitochondrially encoded membrane proteins that are critical for mitochondrial function. Here we present the complete atomic structure of the porcine 55S mitoribosome at 3.8 angstrom resolution by cryo-electron microscopy and chemical cross-linking/mass spectrometry. The structure of the 28S subunit in the complex was resolved at 3.6 angstrom resolution by focused alignment, which allowed building of a detailed atomic structure including all of its 15 mitoribosomal-specific proteins. The structure reveals the intersubunit contacts in the 55S mitoribosome, the molecular architecture of the mitoribosomal messenger RNA (mRNA) binding channel and its interaction with transfer RNAs, and provides insight into the highly specialized mechanism of mRNA recruitment to the 28S subunit. Furthermore, the structure contributes to a mechanistic understanding of aminoglycoside ototoxicity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Greber, Basil J -- Bieri, Philipp -- Leibundgut, Marc -- Leitner, Alexander -- Aebersold, Ruedi -- Boehringer, Daniel -- Ban, Nenad -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Apr 17;348(6232):303-8. doi: 10.1126/science.aaa3872.

    Mitoribosomal small subunit biogenesis in trypanosomes involves an extensive assembly machinery (2019)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019
    Description: 〈p〉Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) are large ribonucleoprotein complexes that synthesize proteins encoded by the mitochondrial genome. An extensive cellular machinery responsible for ribosome assembly has been described only for eukaryotic cytosolic ribosomes. Here we report that the assembly of the small mitoribosomal subunit in 〈i〉Trypanosoma brucei〈/i〉 involves a large number of factors and proceeds through the formation of assembly intermediates, which we analyzed by using cryo–electron microscopy. One of them is a 4-megadalton complex, referred to as the small subunit assemblosome, in which we identified 34 factors that interact with immature ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and recognize its functionally important regions. The assembly proceeds through large-scale conformational changes in rRNA coupled with successive incorporation of mitoribosomal proteins, providing an example for the complexity of the ribosomal assembly process in mitochondria.〈/p〉

    Evolutionary shift toward protein-based architecture in trypanosomal mitochondrial ribosomes (2018)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018
    Description: 〈p〉Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) plays key functional and architectural roles in ribosomes. Using electron microscopy, we determined the atomic structure of a highly divergent ribosome found in mitochondria of 〈i〉Trypanosoma brucei〈/i〉, a unicellular parasite that causes sleeping sickness in humans. The trypanosomal mitoribosome features the smallest rRNAs and contains more proteins than all known ribosomes. The structure shows how the proteins have taken over the role of architectural scaffold from the rRNA: They form an autonomous outer shell that surrounds the entire particle and stabilizes and positions the functionally important regions of the rRNA. Our results also reveal the "minimal" set of conserved rRNA and protein components shared by all ribosomes that help us define the most essential functional elements.〈/p〉
