Archaeal and eukaryal translation initiation factor 1 differ in their RNA interacting loops

Abstract: The archaeal translation initiation factor 1 (aIF1) is reported to be functionally homologous to the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1 (eIF1). However, lack of a structural comparison between aIF1 and eIF1 has limited our understanding of the structural (dis)similarities. Herein, we have determined the three-dimensional crystal structure of an open reading frame PH1771.1 encoding aIF1 in Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3. Results reveal that although aIF1 has low sequence similarity with eIF1, high structural… Show more

“…The overall fold of the archaeal factor is highly similar to those of yeast and human eIF1 (rmsd = 2.73 Å for 66 Cα atoms compared or 1.46 Å for 59 Cα atoms compared). It is also highly similar to the recently published aIF1 structure from Pyrococcus horikoshii ( 46 ), rmsd = 0.62 Å for 61 Cα atoms compared). The N-terminal part of aIF1 (residues 1 to 23) is not visible in the electron density suggesting that, as for the eukaryotic eIF1 counterparts ( 47 , 48 ), the N-terminal part of the factor is mobile with respect to the rest of the protein outside of the ribosomal initiation complex.…”

“…Notably, although the basic character of loop 1 is conserved in archaea and eukaryotes, the consensus sequences in the two phyla are idiosyncratic (Figure 1C ). Another notable difference between eukaryotic and archaeal e/aIF2 and their homologues corresponds to the absence of the acidic loop 2 in the archaeal kingdom, as observed here and in ( 46 ). In eukaryotes, the acidic loop 2 was shown to participate in start codon selection by interacting with the D-stem-loop of the initiator tRNA ( 17 , 58 ).…”

“…The factor is made up of an α–β domain (29–113) and of an N-terminal unstructured domain (1–28). The archaeal proteins are highly similar to the eukaryotic proteins ([72,121] and Figure 3). The presence of a zinc knuckle in the N-domain is suggested for some archaeal representatives [72], but no 3D structure of this domain has been determined yet.…”

“…Trotz der ähnlichen Funktionen besitzen aIF1 und eIF1/SUI1 eine geringe Sequenzidentität. (Gogoi and Kanaujia, 2018;Monestier et al, 2018). Dennoch konnte in der Cryo-EM in P. abyssi von Monestier und Kollegen 2018 gezeigt werden, dass aIF1 ähnlich wie sein eukaryontisches Homolog an das Ribosom bindet.…”
