Mitoribosome large subunit (mtLSU) biogenesis involves the conserved DEAD-box helicase Mrh4 and the GTPases Mtg1/GTPBP7 and Mtg2/GTPBP5. Here, we have employed genetic, biochemical, in vitro reconstitution, and cryo-EM approaches to elucidate their hierarchical action during the late stages of mtLSU assembly. We show that Mrh4-mediated bL33m incorporation precedes Mtg1 recruitment to the 21S rRNA. Cryo-EM structures of mitoribosome assembly intermediates accumulating in the absence of Mtg1 or uL16m reveal that Mtg1 restructures the 21S rRNA H73-75 and H93 domains to their mature fold. This subsequently allows the structuring of neighboring peptidyl transfer center region helices and the incorporation of uL6m, uL16m, bL35m, and bL36m during late mtLSU maturation. Unexpectedly, monosomes containing immature mtLSU assemble in Mrh4-, bL33m-, uL16m-, Mtg1-, and Mtg2-depleted mitochondria, at levels that increase with the maturation state of the mtLSU particle. Our data have shed light on the rRNA folding events and the structuring of the MRPs that occur during the late stages of assembly.

This article systematically reviews the structural characteristics and biological functions of EML1. Structural studies have shown that EML1 contains unique HELP-WD and TAPE domains, which underlie its binding to microtubules and functional performance. Functionally, EML1 regulates microtubule stability through multiple mechanisms. Moreover, EML1 is also involved in regulating intracellular material transport—maintaining the stability of transport tracks, coordinating the function of motor proteins, and regulating Golgi-related transport. These findings reveal the multiple roles of EML1 in cellular physiological processes and provide a new perspective for understanding the pathogenesis of related diseases.

In this study, we uncover a novel regulatory axis involving CHIP and DDX17 responsible for modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling in colorectal cancer (CRC). Bioinformatic analyses of CPTAC database and immunohistochemical analysis of clinical samples revealed a significant negative correlation between CHIP and DDX17. By using immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry we have identified DDX17 as a high-confidence interacting partner of CHIP, which was validated through co-immunoprecipitation, domain-mapping, immunocytochemistry, and molecular docking studies, pinpointing the TPR domain of CHIP is essential for this interaction. Mechanistically, CHIP overexpression led to accelerated degradation of DDX17, resulting in reduced β-catenin mRNA stability, leading to the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signalling that results in G1 arrest and decreasing proliferation and EMT. Conversely, CHIP knockdown stabilized DDX17, hence promoting β-catenin signalling that leads to oncogenic phenotype. Our results suggest that CHIP exerts a tumor-suppressive phenotype in CRC by destruction of DDX17, thereby attenuating β-catenin-driven oncogenic processes. Altogether, this study identifies a novel “CHIP–DDX17–β-catenin” axis as a critical regulatory mechanism in CRC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8754,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.
