A bacterial homolog YciH of eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF1 regulates stress-related gene expression and is unlikely to be involved in translation initiation fidelity

Abstract: YciH is a bacterial protein, homologous to eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF1. Preceding evidence obtained with the aid of in vitro translation initiation system suggested that it may play a role of a translation initiation factor, ensuring selection against suboptimal initiation complexes. Here we studied the effect of Escherichia coli yciH gene inactivation on translation of model mRNAs. Neither the translation efficiency of leaderless mRNAs, nor mRNAs with non AUG start codons, was found to be af… Show more

“…Polar effects due to CRISPRi inhibition of pyrF resulted in significant downregulation of YciH protein levels (Table S5). Knock-out of yciH has previously been shown to increase expression of 66 genes, and decrease expression of 20 genes in E. coli (Osterman et al, 2015); however, none of these proteins were found to be significantly up-or downregulated in our study. Polar effects of pyrG inhibition resulted in the downregulation of eno, located downstream of pyrG (Table S5).…”

“…Among a few other translation initiation factors, eIF1 is considered to be universally conserved in all the three domains of life; however, the homologue of eIF1, known as YciH, is not present in all bacteria . Furthermore, recent studies have revealed that instead of functioning as a translation initiation factor, YciH acts as an inhibitor of translation initiation during stress conditions by binding firmly to the P site with the aid of a longer β 1 –β 2 basic loop . The fidelity of translation initiation in bacteria is alternatively established by the initiation factor IF3; which, however, lacks sequence or structural homology with the protein eIF1 .…”

“…The bacterial cells were suspended as described in [21]. The LC-MS was performed on a TripleTOF 5600+ (Sciex, USA) mass-spectrometer operating in in a data-dependent mode with a NanoSpray III ion source (Sciex, USA) coupled to a NanoLC Ultra 2D+ nano-HPLC system (Eksigent, USA) configured as described in [22].…”
