Article Abstract
In eukaryotic cells the final maturation of ribosomes occurs in the cytoplasm, where trans-acting factors are removed and critical ribosomal proteins are added for functionality. Here, we have carried out a comprehensive analysis of cytoplasmic maturation, ordering the known steps into a coherent pathway. Maturation is initiated by the ATPase Drg1. Downstream, assembly of the ribosome stalk is essential for the release of Tif6. The stalk recruits GTPases during translation. Because the GTPase Efl1, which is required for the release of Tif6, resembles the translation elongation factor eEF2, we suggest that assembly of the stalk recruits Efl1, triggering a step in 60S biogenesis that mimics aspects of translocation. Efl1 could thereby provide a mechanism to functionally check the nascent subunit. Finally, the release of Tif6 is a prerequisite for the release of the nuclear export adaptor Nmd3. Establishing this pathway provides an important conceptual framework for understanding ribosome maturation.

Assembly of functional ribosomal subunits and successfully delivering them to the translating pool is a prerequisite for protein synthesis and cell growth. In the ribosome assembly factor Reh1 binds to pre-60S subunits at a late stage during their cytoplasmic maturation. Previous work shows that the C-terminus of Reh1 inserts into the polypeptide exit tunnel (PET) of the pre-60S subunit.

The final maturation step of the 60S ribosomal subunit requires the release of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (human eIF6, yeast Tif6) to enter the pool of mature ribosomes capable of engaging in translation. This process is mediated by the concerted action of the Elongation Factor-like 1 (human EFL1, yeast Efl1) GTPase and its effector, the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome protein (human SBDS, yeast Sdo1). Mutations in these proteins prevent the release of eIF6 and cause a disease known as Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS).

Crystals of two new 3D hybrid compounds, trans-Zn3TiF7(H2O)2(taz)3·3H2O and cis-Zn3TiF7(H2O)2(taz)3·C2H5OH, have been obtained by solvothermal synthesis ((taz)- = 1,2,4-triazolate C2H2N3 ligand). Their structures, determined from X-ray single crystal diffraction data in Cm and Pnma space groups, respectively, are based on Zn3N9(H2O)2F3 trimers linked by TiF6 octahedra that build trans- or cis-chains ∞[Zn3TiN9(H2O)2F7]. Water or ethanol in the structure cavities is released below 110 °C to give trans- or cis-Zn3TiF7(H2O)2(taz)3 and, on further heating, these intermediate phases dehydrate and lead to anhydrous trans- or cis-Zn3TiF7(taz)3.

Ubiquitin is generated by proteolytic cleavage of precursor proteins in which it is fused either to itself, constituting a linear polyubiquitin protein of head-to-tail monomers, or as a single N-terminal moiety to one of two ribosomal proteins, eL40 (Ubi1/2 precursors) and eS31 (Ubi3 precursor). It has been proposed that the ubiquitin moiety fused to these ribosomal proteins could act as a chaperone by facilitating their efficient production, folding and ribosome assembly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have previously shown that ubiquitin release from eS31 is required for yeast viability and that noncleaved Ubi3 can get incorporated into translation-competent 40S subunits.

One of the final maturation steps of the large ribosomal subunit requires the joint action of the elongation factor-like 1 (human EFL1, yeast Efl1) GTPase and the Shwachman-Diamond syndrome protein (human SBDS, yeast Sdo1) to release the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (human eIF6, yeast Tif6) and allow the assembly of mature ribosomes. EFL1 function is driven by conformational changes. However, the nature of such conformational changes or the mechanism by which they are prompted are still largely unknown.
