AbstractPreviously, we determined a cryo-EM structure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 90S preribosome obtained after depletion of the RNA helicase Mtr4 at 4.5 Å resolution (Sun et al., 2017). The 90S preribosome is an early assembly intermediate of small ribosomal subunit. Here, the structure was improved to 3.4 Å resolution and reveals many previously unresolved structures and interactions, in particular around the central domain of 18S rRNA. The central domain adopts a closed conformation in our structure, in contrast to an open conformation in another high-resolution structure of S. cerevisiae 90S. The new model of 90S would serve as a better reference for investigation of the assembly mechanism of small ribosomal subunit.

The determination of the high-resolution structures of ribosomal subunits in the year 2000 and of the entire ribosome a few years later are revolutionizing our understanding of the role of the ribosome in translation. In the present article, I summarize the main contributions from our laboratory to this worldwide effort. These include the determination of the structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit and its complexes with antibiotics, the role of the 30S subunit in decoding, and the high-resolution structure of the entire 70S ribosome complexed with mRNA and tRNA.

The small subunit processome represents the earliest stable precursor of the eukaryotic small ribosomal subunit. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae small subunit processome at an overall resolution of 3.8 Å, which provides an essentially complete atomic model of this assembly. In this nucleolar superstructure, 51 ribosome assembly factors and two RNAs encapsulate the 18S rRNA precursor and 15 ribosomal proteins in a state that precedes pre-rRNA cleavage at site A1. Extended flexible proteins are employed to connect distant sites in this particle. Molecular mimicry, steric hindrance as well as protein-and RNA-mediated RNA remodeling are used in a concerted fashion to prevent the premature formation of the central pseudoknot and its surrounding elements within the small ribosomal subunit.

Abstract Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes contain a set of modified nucleotides, which is distinct from that of the cytosolic ribosomes. Nucleotide m4C840 of the murine mitochondrial 12S rRNA is equivalent to the dimethylated m4Cm1402 residue of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA. Here we demonstrate that mouse METTL15 protein is responsible for the formation of m4C residue of the 12S rRNA. Inactivation of Mettl15 gene in murine cell line perturbs the composition of mitochondrial protein biosynthesis machinery. Identification of METTL15 interaction partners revealed that the likely substrate for this RNA methyltransferase is an assembly intermediate of the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit containing an assembly factor RBFA.
