Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2022 Title: Adaptation to genome decay in the structure of the smallest eukaryotic ribosome. Authors: David Nicholson / Marco Salamina / Johan Panek / Karla Helena-Bueno / Charlotte R Brown / Robert P Hirt / Neil A Ranson / Sergey V Melnikov / Abstract: The evolution of microbial parasites involves the counterplay between natural selection forcing parasites to improve and genetic drifts forcing parasites to lose genes and accumulate deleterious ...The evolution of microbial parasites involves the counterplay between natural selection forcing parasites to improve and genetic drifts forcing parasites to lose genes and accumulate deleterious mutations. Here, to understand how this counterplay occurs at the scale of individual macromolecules, we describe cryo-EM structure of ribosomes from Encephalitozoon cuniculi, a eukaryote with one of the smallest genomes in nature. The extreme rRNA reduction in E. cuniculi ribosomes is accompanied with unparalleled structural changes, such as the evolution of previously unknown molten rRNA linkers and bulgeless rRNA. Furthermore, E. cuniculi ribosomes withstand the loss of rRNA and protein segments by evolving an ability to use small molecules as structural mimics of degenerated rRNA and protein segments. Overall, we show that the molecular structures long viewed as reduced, degenerated, and suffering from debilitating mutations possess an array of compensatory mechanisms that allow them to remain active despite the extreme molecular reduction. | |||||||||||||||||||||

For ribosomal proteins that are encoded by two alternative genes (with one gene coding for a zinc-coordinating protein and another gene coding for a zinc-free ribosomal protein), we used zinc-coordinating isoforms, because the cryo-EM map revealed the presence of these isoforms and not their zinc-free paralogs in the ribosome structure. The identity of protein msL2 in the ribosome structure was determined using the genomic sequence of the E. cuniculi strain GB-M1 and the cryo-EM map that revealed a unique combination of aromatic and bulky amino acids in its structure: the cryo-EM map showed that msL2 has a tyrosine residue at position 5, a tryptophan residue at position 9, and lysine or arginine residues at positions 10, 12 and 13. The only protein with this sequence was the hypothetical protein ECU06_1135, whose sequence and length were fully consistent with the cryo-EM map. The structure of E. cuniculi ribosomes was refined using Phenix real space refine and validated using MolProbity within Phenix and PDB OneDep. The parts of the model corresponding to the 60S, 40S body and 40S head were built and refined using the consensus map, 40S body multibody map and 40S head multibody map, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
