Selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) suppresses ferroptosis by detoxifying lipid hydroperoxides via a catalytic selenocysteine (Sec) residue. Sec, the genetically encoded 21st amino acid, is biosynthesized from a reactive selenium donor on its cognate tRNA[Ser]Sec. It is thought that intracellular selenium must be delivered ‘safely’ and ‘efficiently’ by a carrier protein owing to its high reactivity and very low concentrations. Here, we identified peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) as a novel selenoprotein synthesis factor. Loss of PRDX6 decreases the expression of selenoproteins and induces ferroptosis via a reduction in GPX4. Mechanistically, PRDX6 increases the efficiency of intracellular selenium utilization by transferring selenium between proteins within the selenocysteyl-tRNA[Ser]Sec synthesis machinery, leading to efficient synthesis of selenocysteyl-tRNA[Ser]Sec. These findings highlight previously unidentified selenium metabolic systems and provide new insights into ferroptosis. The authors identified PRDX6 as a novel selenoprotein synthesis factor performing an iron-induced ferroptosis screen. They reveal that PRDX6 greatly facilitates selenium utilization for selenoprotein synthesis by acting as a selenide carrier protein.","PeriodicalId":49141,"journal":{"name":"Nature Structural & Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41594-024-01329-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141309010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we present the 1.9 Å resolution cryo electron microscopy structure of the 80S human ribosome resolving numerous new ribosomal RNA modifications and functionally important ions such as Zn2+, K+ and Mg2+, including their associated individual water molecules. The 2′-O-methylation, pseudo-uridine and base modifications were confirmed by mass spectrometry, resulting in a complete investigation of the >230 sites, many of which could not be addressed previously. They choreograph key interactions within the RNA and at the interface with proteins, including at the ribosomal subunit interfaces of the fully assembled 80S ribosome. Uridine isomerization turns out to be a key mechanism for U–A base pair stabilization in RNA in general. The structural environment of chemical modifications and ions is primordial for the RNA architecture of the mature human ribosome, hence providing a structural framework to address their role in healthy states and in human diseases. The cryo-EM structure of the full 80S human ribosome is presented at 1.9 Å resolution. Numerous new chemical modifications are resolved, resulting in over 230 annotated sites cross-validated by mass spectometry.

The process is accompanied by the conjugation of LC3B to phagophores by an E3 ligase complex comprising ATG12–ATG5 and ATG16L1. Here we combined two complementary reconstitution approaches to reveal the function of LC3B and its ligase complex during phagophore expansion. We found that LC3B forms together with ATG12–ATG5–ATG16L1 a membrane coat that remodels flat membranes into cups that closely resemble phagophores. Mechanistically, we revealed that cup formation strictly depends on a close collaboration between LC3B and ATG16L1. Moreover, only LC3B, but no other member of the ATG8 protein family, promotes cup formation. ATG16L1 truncates that lacked the C-terminal membrane binding domain catalyzed LC3B lipidation but failed to assemble coats, did not promote cup formation and inhibited the biogenesis of non-selective autophagosomes. Our results thus demonstrate that ATG16L1 and LC3B induce and stabilize the characteristic cup-like shape of phagophores. Autophagy degrades cellular waste by engulfing it in phagophore membranes and delivering it to lysosomes for degradation. Here Mohan and colleagues identified a type of membrane coat that assembles on phagophores to guide their expansion.","PeriodicalId":49141,"journal":{"name":"Nature Structural & Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141246273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present a cohesive framework to explain membrane protein biogenesis, in which different parts of a nascent substrate are triaged between Oxa1 and SecY family members for insertion. In this model, Oxa1 family proteins insert transmembrane domains flanked by short translocated segments, whereas the SecY channel is required for insertion of transmembrane domains flanked by long translocated segments. Our unifying model rationalizes evolutionary, genetic, biochemical and structural data across organisms and provides a foundation for future mechanistic studies of membrane protein biogenesis.

The transcription factors TFAP2C and TEAD4 with activated RHOA accelerate embryo polarization. Here we show that these factors also accelerate the loss of totipotency. TFAP2C and TEAD4 paradoxically promote and inhibit Hippo signaling before lineage diversification: they drive expression of multiple Hippo regulators while also promoting apical domain formation, which inactivates Hippo. Each factor activates TE specifiers in bipotent cells, while TFAP2C also activates specifiers of the ICM fate. Asymmetric segregation of the apical domain reconciles the opposing regulation of Hippo signaling into Hippo OFF and the TE fate, or Hippo ON and the ICM fate. We propose that the bistable switch established by TFAP2C and TEAD4 is exploited to trigger robust lineage diversification in the developing embryo. Here the authors identify the transcription factors TFAP2C and TEAD4 as a bistable switch that reconciles into Hippo ON and OFF states, establishing a composite state at the eight-cell stage and critically regulating lineage diversification.","PeriodicalId":49141,"journal":{"name":"Nature Structural & Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41594-024-01311-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141092133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
