Here, we discovered two stereoselective methylations of the rRNA backbone in the peptidyl-transferase center (PTC) of the 50S subunit of Escherichia coli cultured under anaerobic conditions. Methylation occurs at carbon 5'(S) of ribose moieties of dihydrouridine at position 2449 (Dm2449) and 2'-O-metylcytidine at position 2498 (Cmm2498). We identified the rlmX gene, encoding a cobalamin-dependent radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) methyltransferase responsible for these methylations. Intriguingly, Dm2449, Cmm2498, and 5-hydroxycytidine (hoC2501) in the PTC were elevated under anaerobic growth conditions. A double knockout strain lacking rlmX and rlhA (responsible for hoC2501) impaired anaerobic growth. Biochemical studies showed that these rRNA modifications stimulate protein synthesis. The cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the ribosome indicated that these hypoxia-induced modifications stabilize the P-site and the PTC. These findings demonstrate that ribosomes are activated by hypoxia-induced modifications to enhance translational capability and thereby survival, under anaerobic conditions. |
