Inability to rescue stalled ribosomes results in overactivation of the integrated stress response.
Title: Inability to rescue stalled ribosomes results in overactivation of the integrated stress response.
Distinct elongation stalls during translation are linked with distinct pathways for mRNA degradation.
Title: Distinct elongation stalls during translation are linked with distinct pathways for mRNA degradation.
Hel2-dependent polyubiquitination of collided disomes and, preferentially, trisomes. The distinct trisome architecture, visualized using cryo-EM, provides the structural basis for the more-efficient recognition by Hel2 compared with that of disomes. Subsequently, the Slh1 helicase subunit of the RQC trigger (RQT) complex preferentially dissociates the first stalled polyubiquitinated ribosome in an ATP-dependent manner.
Title: RQT complex dissociates ribosomes collided on endogenous RQC substrate SDD1.
premature arrest at ribosome stalling sequences still occurred robustly in the absence of Asc1, Hel2, and Slh1. However, these three factors were required for the ribosome quality control complex to modify the nascent chain.
Title: Asc1, Hel2, and Slh1 couple translation arrest to nascent chain degradation.
More detailed analyses indicated that the effects of K63R mutants were independent of the proteasome and that K63 polyubiquitination is dependent on Hel2, one of the E3 ligases.
Title: Inhibiting K63 polyubiquitination abolishes no-go type stalled translation surveillance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The results highlight the importance of posttranslational histone regulatory mechanisms that employ multiple E3 ubiquitin ligases such as Hel2(YDR266C)to ensure excess histone degradation and thus contribute to the maintenance of genomic stability.
Title: Novel E3 ubiquitin ligases that regulate histone protein levels in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
