Streit D, Schleiff E. The Arabidopsis 2'-O-Ribose-Methylation and Pseudouridylation Landscape of rRNA in Comparison to Human and Yeast. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2021; 12:684626. [PMID: 34381476 PMCID: PMC8351944 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.684626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Eukaryotic ribosome assembly starts in the nucleolus, where the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is transcribed into the 35S pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA). More than two-hundred ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs) and more than two-hundred small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA) catalyze the processing, folding and modification of the rRNA in Arabidopsis thaliana. The initial pre-ribosomal 90S complex is formed already during transcription by association of ribosomal proteins (RPs) and RBFs. In addition, small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein particles (snoRNPs) composed of snoRNAs and RBFs catalyze the two major rRNA modification types, 2'-O-ribose-methylation and pseudouridylation. Besides these two modifications, rRNAs can also undergo base methylations and acetylation. However, the latter two modifications have not yet been systematically explored in plants. The snoRNAs of these snoRNPs serve as targeting factors to direct modifications to specific rRNA regions by antisense elements. Today, hundreds of different sites of modifications in the rRNA have been described for eukaryotic ribosomes in general. While our understanding of the general process of ribosome biogenesis has advanced rapidly, the diversities appearing during plant ribosome biogenesis is beginning to emerge. Today, more than two-hundred RBFs were identified by bioinformatics or biochemical approaches, including several plant specific factors. Similarly, more than two hundred snoRNA were predicted based on RNA sequencing experiments. Here, we discuss the predicted and verified rRNA modification sites and the corresponding identified snoRNAs on the example of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Our summary uncovers the plant modification sites in comparison to the human and yeast modification sites.

DNA insecticide developed from the Lymantria dispar 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene provides a novel biotechnology for plant protection. Sci Rep 2019; 9:6197.

Abstract
Having observed how botanicals and other natural compounds are used by nature to control pests in the environment, we began investigating natural polymers, DNA and RNA, as promising tools for insect pest management. Over the last decade, unmodified short antisense DNA oligonucleotides have shown a clear potential for use as insecticides. Our research has concentrated mainly on Lymantria dispar larvae using an antisense oligoRING sequence from its inhibitor-of-apoptosis gene. In this article, we propose a novel biotechnology to protect plants from insect pests using DNA insecticide with improved insecticidal activity based on a new antisense oligoRIBO-11 sequence from the 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene. This investigational oligoRIBO-11 insecticide causes higher mortality among both L. dispar larvae grown in the lab and those collected from the forest; in addition, it is more affordable and faster acting, which makes it a prospective candidate for use in the development of a ready-to-use preparation.

Expression of distinct maternal and somatic 5.8S, 18S, and 28S rRNA types during zebrafish development. RNA (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2017; 23:1188-1199. [PMID: 28500251 PMCID: PMC5513064 DOI: 10.1261/rna.061515.117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2017] [Accepted: 05/09/2017] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
There is mounting evidence that the ribosome is not a static translation machinery, but a cell-specific, adaptive system. Ribosomal variations have mostly been studied at the protein level, even though the essential transcriptional functions are primarily performed by rRNAs. At the RNA level, oocyte-specific 5S rRNAs are long known for Xenopus. Recently, we described for zebrafish a similar system in which the sole maternal-type 5S rRNA present in eggs is replaced completely during embryonic development by a somatic-type. Here, we report the discovery of an analogous system for the 45S rDNA elements: 5.8S, 18S, and 28S. The maternal-type 5.8S, 18S, and 28S rRNA sequences differ substantially from those of the somatic-type, plus the maternal-type rRNAs are also replaced by the somatic-type rRNAs during embryogenesis. We discuss the structural and functional implications of the observed sequence differences with respect to the translational functions of the 5.8S, 18S, and 28S rRNA elements. Finally, in silico evidence suggests that expansion segments (ES) in 18S rRNA, previously implicated in ribosome-mRNA interaction, may have a preference for interacting with specific mRNA genes. Taken together, our findings indicate that two distinct types of ribosomes exist in zebrafish during development, each likely conducting the translation machinery in a unique way.
