Item Heat-induced ribosome pausing triggers mRNA co-translational decay in Arabidopsis thaliana(Oxford University Press, 2015-04-06) Merret, R´emy; Nagarajan, Vinay K.; Carpentier, Marie-Christine; Park, Sunhee; Favory, Jean-Jacques; Descombin, Julie; Picart, Claire; Charng, Yee-yung; Green, Pamela J.; Deragon, Jean-Marc; Bousquet-Antonelli, C´ ecile; R´emy Merret, Vinay K. Nagarajan, Marie-Christine Carpentier, Sunhee Park, Jean-Jacques Favory, Julie Descombin, Claire Picart, Yee-yung Charng, Pamela J. Green, Jean-Marc Deragon and C´ ecile Bousquet-Antonelli; Nagarajan, Vinay K.; Park, Sunhee; Green, Pamela J.The reprogramming of gene expression in heat stress is a key determinant to organism survival. Gene expression is downregulated through translation initiation inhibition and release of free mRNPs that are rapidly degraded or stored. In mammals, heat also triggers 5′-ribosome pausing preferentially on transcripts coding for HSC/HSP70 chaperone targets, but the impact of such phenomenon on mRNA fate remains unknown. Here, we provide evidence that, in Arabidopsis thaliana, heat provokes 5′-ribosome pausing leading to the XRN4-mediated 5′-directed decay of translating mRNAs. We also show that hindering HSC/HSP70 activity at 20°C recapitulates heat effects by inducing ribosome pausing and co-translational mRNA turnover. Strikingly, co-translational decay targets encode proteins with high HSC/HSP70 binding scores and hydrophobic N-termini, two characteristics that were previously observed for transcripts most prone to pausing in animals. This work suggests for the first time that stress-induced variation of translation elongation rate is an evolutionarily conserved process leading to the polysomal degradation of thousands of ‘non-aberrant’ mRNAs.Item Heat-induced ribosome pausing triggers mRNA co-translational decay in Arabidopsis thaliana(Oxford University Press, 2015-04-06) Merret, R´emy; Nagarajan, Vinay K.; Carpentier, Marie-Christine; Park, Sunhee; Favory, Jean-Jacques; Descombin, Julie; Picart, Claire; Charng, Yee-yung; Green, Pamela J.; Deragon, Jean-Marc; Bousquet-Antonelli, C´ ecile; R´emy Merret, Vinay K.
