Abstract
Stalling of ribosomes engaged in protein synthesis can lead to significant defects in the function of newly synthesized proteins and thereby impair protein homeostasis. Consequently, partially synthesized polypeptides resulting from translation stalling are recognized and eliminated by several quality control mechanisms. First, if translation elongation reactions are halted prematurely, a quality control mechanism called ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) initiates the ubiquitination of the nascent polypeptide chain and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Additionally, when ribosomes with defective codon recognition or peptide-bond formation stall during translation, a quality control mechanism known as non-functional ribosomal RNA decay (NRD) leads to the degradation of malfunctioning ribosomes. In both of these quality control mechanisms, E3 ubiquitin ligases selectively recognize ribosomes in distinct translation-stalling states and ubiquitinate specific ribosomal proteins. Significant efforts have been devoted to characterize E3 ubiquitin ligase sensing of ribosome 'collision' or 'stalling' and subsequent ribosome is rescued. This article provides an overview of our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of ribosome dynamics control and quality control of abnormal translation.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1) is a ubiquitin-like protein covalently conjugated with intracellular proteins through UFMylation, a process similar to ubiquitylation. Growing lines of evidence regarding not only the structural basis of the components essential for UFMylation but also their biological properties shed light on crucial roles of the UFM1 system in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), such as ER-phagy and ribosome-associated quality control at the ER, although there are some functions unrelated to the ER. Mouse genetics studies also revealed the indispensable roles of this system in hematopoiesis, liver development, neurogenesis, and chondrogenesis. Of critical importance, mutations of genes encoding core components of the UFM1 system in humans cause hereditary developmental epileptic encephalopathy and Schohat-type osteochondrodysplasia of the epiphysis. Here, we provide a multidisciplinary review of our current understanding of the mechanisms and cellular functions of the UFM1 system as well as its pathophysiological roles, and discuss issues that require resolution.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1) is a ubiquitin-like protein covalently conjugated with intracellular proteins through ufmylation, similar to ubiquitylation. Ufmylation is involved in processes such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation, ribosome-associated protein quality control (RQC) at the ER (ER-RQC), and ER-phagy. However, it remains unclear how ufmylation regulates such distinct ER-related functions. Here, we provide insights into the mechanism of the UFM1 E3 complex in not only ufmylation but also ER-RQC. The E3 complex consisting of UFL1 and UFBP1 interacted with UFC1, UFM1 E2, and, subsequently, CDK5RAP3, an adaptor for ufmylation of ribosomal subunit RPL26. Upon disome formation, the E3 complex associated with ufmylated RPL26 on the 60S subunit through the UFM1-interacting region of UFBP1. Loss of E3 components or disruption of the interaction between UFBP1 and ufmylated RPL26 attenuated ER-RQC. These results provide insights into not only the molecular basis of the ufmylation but also its role in proteostasis.

Abstract
A long-standing assumption in molecular biology posits that the conservation of protein and nucleic acid sequences emphasizes the functional significance of biomolecules. These conserved sequences fold into distinct secondary and tertiary structures, enable highly specific molecular interactions, and regulate complex yet organized molecular processes within living cells. However, recent evidence suggests that biomolecules can also function through primary sequence regions that lack conservation across species or gene families. These regions typically do not form rigid structures, and their inherent flexibility is critical for their functional roles. This review examines the emerging roles and molecular mechanisms of "nondomain biomolecules," whose functions are not easily predicted due to the absence of conserved functional domains. We propose the hypothesis that both domain- and nondomain-type molecules work together to enable flexible and efficient molecular processes within the highly crowded intracellular environment.

Abstract
In actively translating 80S ribosomes the ribosomal protein eS7 of the 40S subunit is monoubiquitinated by the E3 ligase Not4 and deubiquitinated by Otu2 upon ribosomal subunit recycling. Despite its importance for translation efficiency the exact role and structural basis for this translational reset is poorly understood. Here, structural analysis by cryo-electron microscopy of native and reconstituted Otu2-bound ribosomal complexes reveals that Otu2 engages 40S subunits mainly between ribosome recycling and initiation stages. Otu2 binds to several sites on the intersubunit surface of the 40S that are not occupied by any other 40S-binding factors. This binding mode explains the discrimination against 80S ribosomes via the largely helical N-terminal domain of Otu2 as well as the specificity for mono-ubiquitinated eS7 on 40S. Collectively, this study reveals mechanistic insights into the Otu2-driven deubiquitination steps for translational reset during ribosome recycling/(re)initiation.

Abstract
Ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) is a conserved process degrading potentially toxic truncated nascent peptides whose malfunction underlies neurodegeneration and proteostasis decline in aging. During RQC, dissociation of stalled ribosomes is followed by elongation of the nascent peptide with alanine and threonine residues, driven by Rqc2 independently of mRNA, the small ribosomal subunit and guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-hydrolyzing factors. The resulting CAT tails (carboxy-terminal tails) and ubiquitination by Ltn1 mark nascent peptides for proteasomal degradation. Here we present ten cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures, revealing the mechanistic basis of individual steps of the CAT tailing cycle covering initiation, decoding, peptidyl transfer, and tRNA translocation. We discovered eIF5A as a crucial eukaryotic RQC factor enabling peptidyl transfer. Moreover, we observed dynamic behavior of RQC factors and tRNAs allowing for processivity of the CAT tailing cycle without additional energy input. Together, these results elucidate key differences as well as common principles between CAT tailing and canonical translation.

Abstract
Linelike features in TeV γ rays constitute a "smoking gun" for TeV-scale particle dark matter and new physics. Probing the Galactic Center region with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes enables the search for TeV spectral features in immediate association with a dense dark matter reservoir at a sensitivity out of reach for satellite γ-ray detectors, and direct detection and collider experiments. We report on 223 hours of observations of the Galactic Center region with the MAGIC stereoscopic telescope system reaching γ-ray energies up to 100 TeV. We improved the sensitivity to spectral lines at high energies using large-zenith-angle observations and a novel background modeling method within a maximum-likelihood analysis in the energy domain. No linelike spectral feature is found in our analysis. Therefore, we constrain the cross section for dark matter annihilation into two photons to ⟨σv⟩≲5×10^{-28} cm^{3} s^{-1} at 1 TeV and ⟨σv⟩≲1×10^{-25} cm^{3} s^{-1} at 100 TeV, achieving the best limits to date for a dark matter mass above 20 TeV and a cuspy dark matter profile at the Galactic Center. Finally, we use the derived limits for both cuspy and cored dark matter profiles to constrain supersymmetric wino models.

Abstract
Genetic mutations, mRNA processing errors, and lack of availability of charged tRNAs sometimes slow down or completely stall translating ribosomes. Since an incomplete nascent chain derived from stalled ribosomes may function anomalously, such as by forming toxic aggregates, surveillance systems monitor every step of translation and dispose of such products to prevent their accumulation. Over the past decade, yeast models with powerful genetics and biochemical techniques have contributed to uncovering the mechanism of the co-translational quality control system, which eliminates the harmful products generated from aberrant translation. We here summarize the current knowledge of the molecular mechanism of the co-translational quality control systems in yeast, which eliminate the incomplete nascent chain, improper mRNAs, and faulty ribosomes to maintain cellular protein homeostasis.

Abstract
Ribosome collisions are recognized by E3 ubiquitin ligase Hel2/ZNF598, leading to RQC (ribosome-associated quality control) and to endonucleolytic cleavage and degradation of the mRNA termed NGD (no-go decay). NGD in yeast requires the Cue2 endonuclease and occurs in two modes, either coupled to RQC (NGDRQC+) or RQC uncoupled (NGDRQC-). This is mediated by an unknown mechanism of substrate recognition by Cue2. Here, we show that the ubiquitin binding activity of Cue2 is required for NGDRQC- but not for NGDRQC+, and that it involves the first two N-terminal Cue domains. In contrast, Trp122 of Cue2 is crucial for NGDRQC+. Moreover, Mbf1 is required for quality controls by preventing +1 ribosome frameshifting induced by a rare codon staller. We propose that in Cue2-dependent cleavage upstream of the collided ribosomes (NGDRQC-), polyubiquitination of eS7 is recognized by two N-terminal Cue domains of Cue2. In contrast, for the cleavage within collided ribosomes (NGDRQC+), the UBA domain, Trp122 and the interaction between Mbf1 and uS3 are critical.

Abstract
Protein modification by ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs) amplifies limited genome information and regulates diverse cellular processes, including translation, autophagy and antiviral pathways. Ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (UFM1) is a UBL covalently conjugated with intracellular proteins through ufmylation, a reaction analogous to ubiquitylation. Ufmylation is involved in processes such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation, ribosome-associated protein quality control at the ER and ER-phagy. However, it remains unclear how ufmylation regulates such distinct ER-related functions. Here we identify a UFM1 substrate, NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3), that localizes on the ER membrane. Ufmylation of CYB5R3 depends on the E3 components UFL1 and UFBP1 on the ER, and converts CYB5R3 into its inactive form. Ufmylated CYB5R3 is recognized by UFBP1 through the UFM1-interacting motif, which plays an important role in the further uyfmylation of CYB5R3. Ufmylated CYB5R3 is degraded in lysosomes, which depends on the autophagy-related protein Atg7- and the autophagy-adaptor protein CDK5RAP3. Mutations of CYB5R3 and genes involved in the UFM1 system cause hereditary developmental disorders, and ufmylation-defective Cyb5r3 knock-in mice exhibit microcephaly. Our results indicate that CYB5R3 ufmylation induces ER-phagy, which is indispensable for brain development.

Abstract
Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) catalyzes the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). As the sole methyl-donor for methylation of DNA, RNA, and proteins, SAM levels affect gene expression by changing methylation patterns. Expression of MAT2A, the catalytic subunit of isozyme MAT2, is positively correlated with proliferation of cancer cells; however, how MAT2A promotes cell proliferation is largely unknown. Given that the protein synthesis is induced in proliferating cells and that RNA and protein components of translation machinery are methylated, we tested here whether MAT2 and SAM are coupled with protein synthesis. By measuring ongoing protein translation via puromycin labeling, we revealed that MAT2A depletion or chemical inhibition reduced protein synthesis in HeLa and Hepa1 cells. Furthermore, overexpression of MAT2A enhanced protein synthesis, indicating that SAM is limiting under normal culture conditions. In addition, MAT2 inhibition did not accompany reduction in mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 activity but nevertheless reduced polysome formation. Polysome-bound RNA sequencing revealed that MAT2 inhibition decreased translation efficiency of some fraction of mRNAs. MAT2A was also found to interact with the proteins involved in rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis; depletion or inhibition of MAT2 reduced 18S rRNA processing. Finally, quantitative mass spectrometry revealed that some translation factors were dynamically methylated in response to the activity of MAT2A. These observations suggest that cells possess an mTOR-independent regulatory mechanism that tunes translation in response to the levels of SAM. Such a system may acclimate cells for survival when SAM synthesis is reduced, whereas it may support proliferation when SAM is sufficient.

Abstract
Selenoprotein P (SELENOP) is a major plasma selenoprotein that contains 10 Sec residues, which is encoded by the UGA stop codon. The mRNA for SELENOP has the unique property of containing two Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) elements, which is located in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). Here, we coincidentally identified a novel gene, CCDC152, by sequence analysis. This gene was located in the antisense region of the SELENOP gene, including the 3'UTR region in the genome. We demonstrated that this novel gene functioned as a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that decreased SELENOP protein levels via translational rather than transcriptional, regulation. We found that the CCDC152 RNA interacted specifically and directly with the SELENOP mRNA and inhibited its binding to the SECIS-binding protein 2, resulting in the decrease of ribosome binding. We termed this novel gene product lncRNA inhibitor of SELENOP translation (L-IST). Finally, we found that epigallocatechin gallate upregulated L-IST in vitro and in vivo, to suppress SELENOP protein levels. Here, we provide a new regulatory mechanism of SELENOP translation by an endogenous long antisense ncRNA.

Abstract
Here, we describe a protocol for tRNA identification in the 60S ribosome-nascent peptide complex co-purified with Nuclear Export Mediator Factor (NEMF), a responsible factor for C-terminal alanine and threonine tailing of the nascent peptide. Our protocol is based on regular reverse transcription followed by quantitative Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Although this method cannot distinguish between amino acid-charged and uncharged and base-modified and unmodified tRNAs, it is a convenient way to estimate the relative level of tRNA species and thus can be useful for researchers. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Udagawa et al. (2021).

Abstract
Ribosome movement is not always smooth and is rather often impeded. For ribosome pauses, fundamental issues remain to be addressed, including where ribosomes pause on mRNAs, what kind of RNA/amino acid sequence causes this pause, and the physiological significance of this attenuation of protein synthesis. Here, we survey the positions of ribosome collisions caused by ribosome pauses in humans and zebrafish using modified ribosome profiling. Collided ribosomes, i.e., disomes, emerge at various sites: Pro-Pro/Gly/Asp motifs; Arg-X-Lys motifs; stop codons; and 3' untranslated regions. The electrostatic interaction between the charged nascent chain and the ribosome exit tunnel determines the eIF5A-mediated disome rescue at the Pro-Pro sites. In particular, XBP1u, a precursor of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress-responsive transcription factor, shows striking queues of collided ribosomes and thus acts as a degradation substrate by ribosome-associated quality control. Our results provide insight into the causes and consequences of ribosome pause by dissecting collided ribosomes.

Abstract
Ribosome stalling at tandem CGA codons or poly(A) sequences activates quality controls for nascent polypeptides including ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) and no-go mRNA decay (NGD). In RQC pathway, Hel2-dependent uS10 ubiquitination and the RQC-trigger (RQT) complex are essential for subunit dissociation, and Ltn1-dependent ubiquitination of peptidyl-tRNA in the 60S subunit requires Rqc2. Here, we report that polytryptophan sequences induce Rqc2-independent RQC. More than 11 consecutive tryptophan residues induced RQC in a manner dependent on Hel2-mediated ribosome ubiquitination and the RQT complex. Polytryptophan sequence-mediated RQC was not coupled with CAT-tailing, and Rqc2 was not required for Ltn1-dependent degradation of the arrest products. Eight consecutive tryptophan residues located at the region proximal to the peptidyl transferase center in the ribosome tunnel inhibited CAT-tailing by tandem CGA codons. Polytryptophan sequences also induced Hel2-mediated canonical RQC-coupled NGD and RQC-uncoupled NGD outside the stalled ribosomes. We propose that poly-tryptophan sequences induce Rqc2-independent RQC, suggesting that CAT-tailing in the 60S subunit could be modulated by the polypeptide in the ribosome exit tunnel.

Abstract
Ribosome collision because of translational stalling is recognized as a problematic event in translation by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Hel2, leading to non-canonical subunit dissociation followed by targeting of the faulty nascent peptides for degradation. Although Hel2-mediated quality control greatly contributes to maintenance of cellular protein homeostasis, its physiological role in dealing with endogenous substrates remains unclear. This study utilizes genome-wide analysis, based on selective ribosome profiling, to survey the endogenous substrates for Hel2. This survey reveals that Hel2 binds preferentially to the pre-engaged secretory ribosome-nascent chain complexes (RNCs), which translate upstream of targeting signals. Notably, Hel2 recruitment into secretory RNCs is elevated under signal recognition particle (SRP)-deficient conditions. Moreover, the mitochondrial defects caused by insufficient SRP are enhanced by hel2 deletion, along with mistargeting of secretory proteins into mitochondria. These findings provide insights into risk management in the secretory pathway that maintains cellular protein homeostasis.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is a major post-translational modification of ribosomal proteins. The role of ubiquitination in the regulation of ribosome functions is still being elucidated. However, the importance of ribosome deubiquitination remains unclear. Here, we show that the cycle of ubiquitination and deubiquitination of the 40S ribosome subunit eS7 is important for efficient translation. eS7 ubiquitination at lysine 83 is required for efficient protein translation. We identified Otu2 and Ubp3 as the deubiquitinating enzymes for eS7. An otu2Δubp3Δ mutation caused a defect in protein synthesis. Ubp3 inhibited polyubiquitination of eS7 in polysomes to keep eS7 in a mono-ubiquitinated form, whereas Otu2 was specifically bound to the free 40S ribosome and promoted the dissociation of mRNAs from 40S ribosomes in the recycling step. Our results provide clues for understanding the molecular mechanism of the translation system via a ubiquitination-deubiquitination cycle.

Abstract
Ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) relieves stalled ribosomes and eliminates potentially toxic nascent polypeptide chains (NCs) that can cause neurodegeneration. During RQC, RQC2 modifies NCs with a C-terminal alanine and threonine (CAT) tail. CAT tailing promotes ubiquitination of NCs for proteasomal degradation, while RQC failure in budding yeast disrupts proteostasis via CAT-tailed NC aggregation. However, the CAT tail and its cytotoxicity in mammals have remained largely uncharacterized. We demonstrate that NEMF, a mammalian RQC2 homolog, modifies translation products of nonstop mRNAs, major erroneous mRNAs in mammals, with a C-terminal tail mainly composed of alanine with several other amino acids. Overproduction of nonstop mRNAs induces NC aggregation and caspase-3-dependent apoptosis and impairs neuronal morphogenesis, which are ameliorated by NEMF depletion. Moreover, we found that homopolymeric alanine tailing at least partially accounts for CAT-tail cytotoxicity. These findings explain the cytotoxicity of CAT-tailed NCs and demonstrate physiological significance of RQC on proper neuronal morphogenesis and cell survival.

Comprehensive genome-wide analysis has revealed the presence of translational elements in the 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of human transcripts. However, the mechanisms by which translation is initiated in 3′ UTRs and the physiological function of their products remain unclear. This study showed that eIF4G drives the translation of various downstream open reading frames (dORFs) in 3′ UTRs. The 3′ UTR of GCH1, which encodes GTP cyclohydrolase 1, contains an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) that initiates the translation of dORFs. An in vitro reconstituted translation system showed that the IRES in the 3′ UTR of GCH1 required eIF4G and conventional translation initiation factors, except eIF4E, for AUG-initiated translation of dORFs. The 3′ UTR of GCH1-mediated translation was resistant to the mTOR inhibitor Torin 1, which inhibits cap-dependent initiation by increasing eIF4E-unbound eIF4G. eIF4G was also required for the activity of various elements, including polyU and poliovirus type 2, a short element thought to recruit ribosomes by base-pairing with 18S rRNA. These findings indicate that eIF4G mediates translation initiation of various ORFs in mammalian cells, suggesting that the 3′ UTRs of mRNAs may encode various products.

Abstract
eIF2α phosphorylation-mediated translational regulation is crucial for global repression of translation by various stresses, including the unfolded protein response (UPR) in eukaryotes. Although translational control during UPR has not been extensively investigated in S. cerevisiae, Hac1-mediated production of long transcripts containing uORFs was shown to repress the translation of histidine triad nucleotide-binding 1 (HNT1) mRNA. The present study showed that uORF3 is required for HNT1 expression, as well as down-regulating HNT1 translation. Translation initiation by uORF3 is inefficient, with uORF3 having a strong Kozak sequence efficiently repressing the translation of HNT1. We propose that leaky scanning of uORF3 is responsible for the downregulation of HNT1 during UPR.

Abstract
On January 14, 2019, the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescopes detected GRB 190114C above 0.2 TeV, recording the most energetic photons ever observed from a gamma-ray burst. We use this unique observation to probe an energy dependence of the speed of light in vacuo for photons as predicted by several quantum gravity models. Based on a set of assumptions on the possible intrinsic spectral and temporal evolution, we obtain competitive lower limits on the quadratic leading order of speed of light modification.

Abstract
18S non-functional rRNA decay (NRD) eliminates non-functional 18S rRNA with deleterious mutations in the decoding center. Dissociation of the non-functional 80S ribosome into 40S and 60S subunits is a prerequisite step for degradation of the non-functional 18S rRNA. However, the mechanisms by which the non-functional ribosome is recognized and dissociated into subunits remain elusive. Here, we report that the sequential ubiquitination of non-functional ribosomes is crucial for subunit dissociation. 18S NRD requires Mag2-mediated monoubiquitination followed by Hel2- and Rsp5-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination of uS3 at the 212th lysine residue. Determination of the aberrant 18S rRNA levels in sucrose gradient fractions revealed that the subunit dissociation of stalled ribosomes requires sequential ubiquitination of uS3 by E3 ligases and ATPase activity of Slh1 (Rqt2), as well as Asc1 and Dom34. We propose that sequential uS3 ubiquitination of the non-functional 80S ribosome induces subunit dissociation by Slh1, leading to degradation of the non-functional 18S rRNA.

Abstract
Control of messenger RNA (mRNA) decay rate is intimately connected to translation elongation, but the spatial coordination of these events is poorly understood. The Ccr4-Not complex initiates mRNA decay through deadenylation and activation of decapping. We used a combination of cryo-electron microscopy, ribosome profiling, and mRNA stability assays to examine the recruitment of Ccr4-Not to the ribosome via specific interaction of the Not5 subunit with the ribosomal E-site in Saccharomyces cerevisiae This interaction occurred when the ribosome lacked accommodated A-site transfer RNA, indicative of low codon optimality. Loss of the interaction resulted in the inability of the mRNA degradation machinery to sense codon optimality. Our findings elucidate a physical link between the Ccr4-Not complex and the ribosome and provide mechanistic insight into the coupling of decoding efficiency with mRNA stability.

Abstract
Haploinsufficiency of SETD5 is implicated in syndromic autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but the molecular mechanism underlying the pathological role of this protein has remained unclear. We have now shown that Setd5+/– mice manifest ASD-related behavioral phenotypes and that the expression of ribosomal protein genes and rDNA is disturbed in the brain of these mice. SETD5 recruited the HDAC3 complex to the rDNA promoter, resulting in removal of the histone mark H4K16ac and its reader protein TIP5, a repressor of rDNA expression. Depletion of SETD5 attenuated rDNA expression, translational activity, and neural cell proliferation, whereas ablation of TIP5 in SETD5-deficient cells rescued these effects. Translation of cyclin D1 mRNA was specifically down-regulated in SETD5-insufficient cells. Our results thus suggest that SETD5 positively regulates rDNA expression via an HDAC3-mediated epigenetic mechanism and that such regulation is essential for translation of cyclin D1 mRNA and neural cell proliferation. Setd5+/– mice manifest syndromic autism-related phenotypes SETD5 recruits the HDAC3 complex to the rDNA promoter SETD5 deficiency reduces rRNA abundance and attenuates translational activity SETD5 deficiency inhibits cyclin D1 mRNA translation and neural cell proliferation

Abstract
Ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) represents a rescue pathway in eukaryotic cells that is triggered upon translational stalling. Collided ribosomes are recognized for subsequent dissociation followed by degradation of nascent peptides. However, endogenous RQC-inducing sequences and the mechanism underlying the ubiquitin-dependent ribosome dissociation remain poorly understood. Here, we identified SDD1 messenger RNA from Saccharomyces cerevisiae as an endogenous RQC substrate and reveal the mechanism of its mRNA-dependent and nascent peptide-dependent translational stalling. In vitro translation of SDD1 mRNA enabled the reconstitution of Hel2-dependent polyubiquitination of collided disomes and, preferentially, trisomes. The distinct trisome architecture, visualized using cryo-EM, provides the structural basis for the more-efficient recognition by Hel2 compared with that of disomes. Subsequently, the Slh1 helicase subunit of the RQC trigger (RQT) complex preferentially dissociates the first stalled polyubiquitinated ribosome in an ATP-dependent manner. Together, these findings provide fundamental mechanistic insights into RQC and its physiological role in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis.

Abstract
Ribosome stalling triggers the ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) pathway, which targets collided ribosomes and leads to subunit dissociation, followed by proteasomal degradation of the nascent peptide. In yeast, RQC is triggered by Hel2-dependent ubiquitination of uS10, followed by subunit dissociation mediated by the RQC-trigger (RQT) complex. In mammals, ZNF598-dependent ubiquitination of collided ribosomes is required for RQC, and activating signal cointegrator 3 (ASCC3), a component of the ASCC complex, facilitates RQC. However, the roles of other components and associated factors of the ASCC complex remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the human RQC-trigger (hRQT) complex, an ortholog of the yeast RQT complex, plays crucial roles in RQC. The hRQT complex is composed of ASCC3, ASCC2, and TRIP4, which are orthologs of the RNA helicase Slh1(Rqt2), ubiquitin-binding protein Cue3(Rqt3), and zinc-finger type protein yKR023W(Rqt4), respectively. The ATPase activity of ASCC3 and the ubiquitin-binding activity of ASCC2 are crucial for triggering RQC. Given the proposed function of the RQT complex in yeast, we propose that the hRQT complex recognizes the ubiquitinated stalled ribosome and induces subunit dissociation to facilitate RQC.

Abstract
During protein synthesis, translating ribosomes encounter many challenges imposed by various types of defective mRNAs that can lead to reduced cellular fitness and, in some cases, even threaten cell viability. Aberrant translation leads to activation of one of several quality control pathways depending on the nature of the problem. These pathways promote the degradation of the problematic mRNA as well as the incomplete translation product, the nascent polypeptide chain. Many of these quality control systems feature critical roles for specialized regulatory factors that work in concert with conventional factors. This review focuses on the mechanisms used by these quality control pathways to recognize aberrant ribosome stalling and discusses the conservation of these systems.

Abstract
The eukaryotic proteome has to be precisely regulated at multiple levels of gene expression, from transcription, translation, and degradation of RNA and protein to adjust to several cellular conditions. Particularly at the translational level, regulation is controlled by a variety of RNA binding proteins, translation and associated factors, numerous enzymes, and by post-translational modifications (PTM). Ubiquitination, a prominent PTM discovered as the signal for protein degradation, has newly emerged as a modulator of protein synthesis by controlling several processes in translation. Advances in proteomics and cryo-electron microscopy have identified ubiquitin modifications of several ribosomal proteins and provided numerous insights on how this modification affects ribosome structure and function. The variety of pathways and functions of translation controlled by ubiquitin are determined by the various enzymes involved in ubiquitin conjugation and removal, by the ubiquitin chain type used, by the target sites of ubiquitination, and by the physiologic signals triggering its accumulation. Current research is now elucidating multiple ubiquitin-mediated mechanisms of translational control, including ribosome biogenesis, ribosome degradation, ribosome-associated protein quality control (RQC), and redox control of translation by ubiquitin (RTU). This review discusses the central role of ubiquitin in modulating the dynamism of the cellular proteome and explores the molecular aspects responsible for the expanding puzzle of ubiquitin signals and functions in translation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hemodynamic disturbance in acute heart failure (HF) can cause injury to extra-cardiac organs such as the liver. Organ injury in HF might evoke a profibrotic response, which could adversely affect the prognosis.
Methods
Among 189 patients with acute HF, we simultaneously determined the liver fibrosis marker, type IV collagen 7S (P4NP 7S) and the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Score consisting of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1), amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) on admission and at discharge.
Results
During hospitalization, P4NP 7S and ELF score significantly decreased from 7.1 ng/mL to 6.1 ng/mL (P<0.001) and 10.39 to 10.13 (P<0.001), respectively. P4NP 7S and ELF score were correlated with each other on admission (r=0.4, P<0.001) and at discharge (r=0.4, P<0.001). %Change of (Δ) P4NP 7S during hospitalization was correlated with ΔBNP and ΔELF score (r=0.3, P<0.001 and r=0.4, P<0.001, respectively). Among the components of ELF score, PIIINP and HA were correlated with P4NP 7S on admission (r=0.5, P<0.001 and r=0.3, P<0.001, respectively) and at discharge (r=0.4, P<0.001 and r=0.3, P<0.001, respectively). ΔP4NP 7S was also correlated with ΔTIMP-1, ΔPIIINP and ΔHA (r=0.3, P<0.001, r=0.4, P<0.001 and r=0.3, P<0.001, respectively). Each patient was followed up up to 365 days after discharge. 69 patients died or were hospitalized for HF. When the patients were divided into two groups according to the median value of each marker at discharge, the cumulative 1-year incidences of all cause death or HF hospitalization were 32.0% and 45.5% in P4NP 7S-low and P4NP 7S-high group, respectively (log-rank P=0.051) and 43.2% and 34.9% in ELF score-low and ELF score-high group, respectively (log-rank P=0.44). After adjustment by the clinically relevant factors including age, sex, hemoglobin, sodium and left ventricular ejection fraction, P4NP 7S showed independent prognostic value (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.12, P=0.02), while ELF score did not (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.04, P=0.79).
Conclusion
Parallel elevation of P4NP 7S and ELF score were documented during acute phase of HF. P4NP 7S at discharge may identify patients at high risk for subsequent HF related events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Organ injury in heart failure (HF) might evoke profibrotic response, which might adversely affect prognosis.In patients with HF, liver fibrogenesis marker, type IV collagen 7S (P4NP 7S), correlates with pulmonary artery pressure and right-side cardiac pressure such as right atrial and ventricular pressure. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic utility of two collagen markers (N-terminal propeptide of procollagen III [PIIINP] and P4NP 7S) in patients with acute HF.
Methods and results
We conducted a prospective cohort study including 390 patients admitted for HF to three territorial hospitals. The pre-specified primary outcome measure was cardiac death and HF hospitalization at early (90-day) and late (365-day) post-discharge period. Follow-up ratio was 99% at 90 day and 97% at 365 day, respectively. Cardiac death and HF hospitalization occurred in 61 and 114 patients at 90 days and 365 days, respectively. The dichotomization the patients based on the median value of the collagen marker at discharge revealed that patients with high P4NP 7S correlated with significant excess risk relative to those with low P4NP 7S for 90-day (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]; 1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]); 1.11–3.26, P=0.02) and 365-day (adjusted HR; 1.50, 95% CI; 1.02–2.21, P=0.04) outcome. 10% increase in P4NP 7S was associated with 8% increase for primary outcome measure at 90 day (P=0.04). P4NP 7S showed incremental prognostic value on top of the conventional prognostic factors including age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ejection fraction (EF) <40%, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), hemoglobin and sodium <140mmol/L (P=0.038 for net reclassification improvement, P=0.0068 for integrated discrimination improvement). PIIINP weakly correlated with P4NP 7S (Spearman's r=0.24, P<0.0001), but it neither correrated with the marked excess risk not associated with significant excess risk for 90 and 365-day primary outcome measure nor enhanced the discrimination.
Conclusions
This study suggests a possible role of P4NP 7S in the risk stratification of patients with acute HF.

Abstract
Ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) provides a rescue pathway for eukaryotic cells to process faulty proteins after translational stalling of cytoplasmic ribosomes1-6. After dissociation of ribosomes, the stalled tRNA-bound peptide remains associated with the 60S subunit and extended by Rqc2 by addition of C-terminal alanyl and threonyl residues (CAT tails)7-9, whereas Vms1 catalyses cleavage and release of the peptidyl-tRNA before or after addition of CAT tails10-12. In doing so, Vms1 counteracts CAT-tailing of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins that otherwise drive aggregation and compromise mitochondrial and cellular homeostasis13. Here we present structural and functional insights into the interaction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Vms1 with 60S subunits in pre- and post-peptidyl-tRNA cleavage states. Vms1 binds to 60S subunits with its Vms1-like release factor 1 (VLRF1), zinc finger and ankyrin domains. VLRF1 overlaps with the Rqc2 A-tRNA position and interacts with the ribosomal A-site, projecting its catalytic GSQ motif towards the CCA end of the tRNA, its Y285 residue dislodging the tRNA A73 for nucleolytic cleavage. Moreover, in the pre-state, we found the ABCF-type ATPase Arb1 in the ribosomal E-site, which stabilizes the delocalized A73 of the peptidyl-tRNA and stimulates Vms1-dependent tRNA cleavage. Our structural analysis provides mechanistic insights into the interplay of the RQC factors Vms1, Rqc2 and Arb1 and their role in the protection of mitochondria from the aggregation of toxic proteins.

Abstract
Read-through or mutations of a stop codon resulting in translation of the 3'-UTR produce potentially toxic C-terminally extended proteins. However, quality control mechanisms for such proteins are poorly understood in mammalian cells. Here, a comprehensive analysis of the 3'-UTRs of genes associated with hereditary diseases identified novel arrest-inducing sequences in the 3'-UTRs of 23 genes that can repress the levels of their protein products. In silico analysis revealed that the hydrophobicity of the polypeptides encoded in the 3'-UTRs is correlated with arrest efficiency. These results provide new insight into quality control mechanisms mediated by 3'-UTRs to prevent the production of C-terminally extended cytotoxic proteins.

Abstract
Accurate gene expression is a prerequisite for all cellular processes. Cells actively promote correct protein folding, which prevents the accumulation of abnormal and non-functional proteins. Translation elongation is the fundamental step in gene expression to ensure cellular functions, and abnormal translation arrest is recognized and removed by the quality controls. Recent studies demonstrated that ribosome plays crucial roles as a hub for gene regulation and quality controls. Ribosome-interacting factors are critical for the quality control mechanisms responding to abnormal translation arrest by targeting its products for degradation. Aberrant mRNAs are produced by errors in mRNA maturation steps and cause aberrant translation and are eliminated by the quality control system. In this review, we focus on recent progress on two quality controls, Ribosome-associated Quality Control (RQC) and No-Go Decay (NGD), for abnormal translational elongation. These quality controls recognize aberrant ribosome stalling and induce rapid degradation of aberrant polypeptides and mRNAs thereby maintaining protein homeostasis and preventing the protein aggregation.

Abstract
Ribosome stalling triggers quality control pathways targeting the mRNA (NGD: no-go decay) and the nascent polypeptide (RQC: ribosome-associated quality control). RQC requires Hel2-dependent uS10 ubiquitination and the RQT complex in yeast. Here, we report that Hel2-dependent uS10 ubiquitination and Slh1/Rqt2 are crucial for RQC and NGD induction within a di-ribosome (disome) unit, which consists of the leading stalled ribosome and the following colliding ribosome. Hel2 preferentially ubiquitinated a disome over a monosome on a quality control inducing reporter mRNA in an in vitro translation reaction. Cryo-EM analysis of the disome unit revealed a distinct structural arrangement suitable for recognition and modification by Hel2. The absence of the RQT complex or uS10 ubiquitination resulted in the elimination of NGD within the disome unit. Instead, we observed Hel2-mediated cleavages upstream of the disome, governed by initial Not4-mediated monoubiquitination of eS7 and followed by Hel2-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination. We propose that Hel2-mediated ribosome ubiquitination is required both for canonical NGD (NGDRQC +) and RQC coupled to the disome and that RQC-uncoupled NGD outside the disome (NGDRQC -) can occur in a Not4-dependent manner.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified several susceptibility loci for bipolar disorder (BD) and shown that the genetic architecture of BD can be explained by polygenicity, with numerous variants contributing to BD. In the present GWAS (Phase I/II), which included 2964 BD and 61 887 control subjects from the Japanese population, we detected a novel susceptibility locus at 11q12.2 (rs28456, P=6.4 × 10-9), a region known to contain regulatory genes for plasma lipid levels (FADS1/2/3). A subsequent meta-analysis of Phase I/II and the Psychiatric GWAS Consortium for BD (PGC-BD) identified another novel BD gene, NFIX (Pbest=5.8 × 10-10), and supported three regions previously implicated in BD susceptibility: MAD1L1 (Pbest=1.9 × 10-9), TRANK1 (Pbest=2.1 × 10-9) and ODZ4 (Pbest=3.3 × 10-9). Polygenicity of BD within Japanese and trans-European-Japanese populations was assessed with risk profile score analysis. We detected higher scores in BD cases both within (Phase I/II) and across populations (Phase I/II and PGC-BD). These were defined by (1) Phase II as discovery and Phase I as target, or vice versa (for 'within Japanese comparisons', Pbest~10-29, R2~2%), and (2) European PGC-BD as discovery and Japanese BD (Phase I/II) as target (for 'trans-European-Japanese comparison,' Pbest~10-13, R2~0.27%). This 'trans population' effect was supported by estimation of the genetic correlation using the effect size based on each population (liability estimates~0.7). These results indicate that (1) two novel and three previously implicated loci are significantly associated with BD and that (2) BD 'risk' effect are shared between Japanese and European populations.

Abstract
Reticulon 4 receptor (RTN4R) plays an essential role in regulating axonal regeneration and plasticity in the central nervous system through the activation of rho kinase, and is located within chromosome 22q11.2, a region that is known to be a hotspot for schizophrenia (SCZ) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Recently, rare variants such as copy-number variants and single-nucleotide variants have been a focus of research because of their large effect size associated with increased susceptibility to SCZ and ASD and the possibility of elucidating the pathophysiology of mental disorder through functional analysis of the discovered rare variants. To discover rare variants with large effect size and to evaluate their role in the etiopathophysiology of SCZ and ASD, we sequenced the RTN4R coding exons with a sample comprising 370 SCZ and 192 ASD patients, and association analysis using a large number of unrelated individuals (1716 SCZ, 382 ASD and 4009 controls). Through this mutation screening, we discovered four rare (minor allele frequency <1%) missense mutations (R68H, D259N, R292H and V363M) of RTN4R. Among these discovered rare mutations, R292H was found to be significantly associated with SCZ (P=0.048). Furthermore, in vitro functional assays showed that the R292H mutation affected the formation of growth cones. This study strengthens the evidence for association between rare variants within RTN4R and SCZ, and may shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the neurodevelopmental disorder.

Abstract
CX3CR1, a G protein-coupled receptor solely expressed by microglia in the brain, has been repeatedly reported to be associated with neurodevelopmental disorders including schizophrenia (SCZ) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in transcriptomic and animal studies but not in genetic studies. To address the impacts of variants in CX3CR1 on neurodevelopmental disorders, we conducted coding exon-targeted resequencing of CX3CR1 in 370 Japanese SCZ and 192 ASD patients using next-generation sequencing technology, followed by a genetic association study in a sample comprising 7054 unrelated individuals (2653 SCZ, 574 ASD and 3827 controls). We then performed in silico three-dimensional (3D) structural modeling and in vivo disruption of Akt phosphorylation to determine the impact of the detected variant on CX3CR1-dependent signal transduction. We detected a statistically significant association between the variant Ala55Thr in CX3CR1 with SCZ and ASD phenotypes (odds ratio=8.3, P=0.020). A 3D structural model indicated that Ala55Thr could destabilize the conformation of the CX3CR1 helix 8 and affect its interaction with a heterotrimeric G protein. In vitro functional analysis showed that the CX3CR1-Ala55Thr mutation inhibited cell signaling induced by fractalkine, the ligand for CX3CR1. The combined data suggested that the variant Ala55Thr in CX3CR1 might result in the disruption of CX3CR1 signaling. Our results strengthen the association between microglia-specific genes and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
Up-frameshift (Upf) complex facilitates the degradation of aberrant mRNAs containing a premature termination codon (PTC) and its products in yeast. Here we report that Sse1, a member of the Hsp110 family, and Hsp70 play a crucial role in Upf-dependent degradation of the truncated FLAG-Pgk1-300 protein derived from PGK1 mRNA harboring a PTC at codon position 300. Sse1 was required for Upf-dependent rapid degradation of the FLAG-Pgk1-300. FLAG-Pgk1-300 was significantly destabilized in ATP hydrolysis defective sse1-1 mutant cells than in wild type cells. Consistently, Sse1 and Hsp70 reduced the level of an insoluble form of FLAG-Pgk1-300. We propose that the Sse1/Hsp70 complex maintains the solubility of FLAG-Pgk1-300, thereby stimulating its Upf-dependent degradation by the proteasomes.

Abstract
We report on new results of a search for a two-photon interaction with axionlike particles (ALPs). The experiment is carried out at a synchrotron radiation facility using a "light shining through a wall (LSW)" technique. For this purpose, we develop a novel pulsed-magnet system, composed of multiple racetrack magnets and a transportable power supply. It produces fields of about 10 T over 0.8 m with a high repetition rate of 0.2 Hz and yields a new method of probing a vacuum with high intensity fields. The data obtained with a total of 27 676 pulses provide a limit on the ALP-two-photon coupling constant that is more stringent by a factor of 5.2 compared to a previous x-ray LSW limit for the ALP mass ≲0.1 eV.
