eIF1A-NTT residues associated with UM are predicted to participate in stabilizing the PIN state of the closed conformation of the 48S PIC.

(A) Model describing known conformational rearrangements of the PIC during scanning and start codon recognition. (i) eIF1 and the scanning enhancers (blue balls) in the C-terminal tail (CTT) of eIF1A stabilize an open conformation of the 40S subunit to which TC rapidly binds. (ii) The 43S PIC in the open conformation scans the mRNA for the start codon with Met-tRNAiMet bound in the POUT state. eIF2 can hydrolyze GTP to GDP•Pi, but release of Pi is blocked by eIF1. The N-terminal tail (NTT) of eIF1A interacts with the eIF5-CTD. (iii) On AUG recognition, Met-tRNAiMet moves from the POUT to PIN state, clashing with eIF1 and the CTT of eIF1A, provoking displacement of the eIF1A CTT from the P site, dissociation of eIF1 from the 40S subunit, and Pi release from eIF2. The NTT of eIF2β interacts with the eIF5-CTD, and the eIF1A-NTT, harboring scanning inhibitor (SI) elements, interacts with the codon:anticodon helix. (Above) Arrows summarize that eIF1 and the eIF1A SE elements promote POUT and impede transition to PIN state, whereas the eIF1A SI element in the NTT stabilizes the PIN state. (Adapted from (Hinnebusch, 2014)). Results presented below show that this function of the eIF1A-NTT is impaired by uveal melanoma (UM)-associated substitutions and others that disrupt direct contacts with the mRNA or codon:anticodon helix shown in (B). (B) Magnified portion of the py48S PIC structure (PDB 3J81) showing contacts made by the eIF1A-NTT (shades of blue and cyan) in the closed/PIN conformation. Side-chains of NTT residues substituted in UM (red) or directly contacting 18S rRNA (yellow), tRNAi (green) or mRNA (purple) are shown as sticks. (C) Sequence of human eIF1A NTT residues 1–15 showing the substitutions (red) or deletions (dash) found in the indicated UM tumors. Substitutions in yeast eIF1A corresponding to those found in UM tumors are listed on the last line. The five basic residues of the yeast NTT making direct contacts in the PIC and substituted here in addition to the UM-associated substitutions are shown in cyan.

(B) Derivatives of strain H3582 containing the indicated TIF11 alleles and episomal SUI3-2 (p4280/YCpSUI3-S264Y-W) or empty vector (/v) and also harboring HIS4-lacZ reporters with AUG or UUG start codons (plasmids p367 and p391, respectively) were cultured in synthetic dextrose minimal medium (SD) supplemented with His at 28°C to A600 of ~1.0, and β-galactosidase activities (in units of nanomoles of ο-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside cleaved per min per mg) were measured in whole cell extracts (WCEs). The ratio of expression of the UUG to AUG reporter was calculated from at least four different measurements, and the mean and S.E.M.s were plotted. (C) Derivatives of H3582 containing the indicated TIF11 alleles were cultured in SD supplemented with His, Trp and uracil (Ura) at 28°C to A600 of ~1.0, and WCEs were subjected to Western analysis using antibodies against eIF1A/Tif11, eIF1/Sui1 or eIF2Bε/Gcd6 (analyzed as loading control). Two different amounts of each extract differing by 2-fold were loaded in successive lanes. (D) Same strains as in (C) harboring the sc plasmids with SUI1-lacZ fusions containing the native suboptimal (-3CGU-1, pPMB24), poor (-3UUU-1, pPMB28) or optimum (-3AAA-1, pPMB25) AUG contexts were cultured in SD +His + Trp at 28°C to A600 of ~1.0, and assayed for β-galactosidase activities as in (B).

The percentages of scanning ribosomes that translate el.uORF1 (columns 7, 8 and 9) or leaky-scan uAUG-1 and translate GCN4-lacZ instead (columns 4, 5 and 6) were calculated from results in columns 1, 2 and 3 by comparing the amount of expression observed for each uORF-containing reporter to the uORF-less construct. Statistically significant differences between mutant and WT are marked with asterisks (*p<0.05; **p<0.005; ***p<0.0005).

UM-associated mutant eIF1A-R13P and targeted mutant eIF1A-K16D destabilize the closed/PIN conformation of the 48S PIC at UUG codons in vitro.

(A) Effects of R13P and K16D on TC dissociation kinetics from reconstituted partial 43S•mRNA(AUG) or mRNA(UUG) complexes formed with TC containing [35S]-Met-tRNAiMet and WT eIF1A, eIF1A-R13P or eIF1A-K16D, as indicated. Representative curves are shown for each measurement. Tabulated rate constants (koff) and reaction end-points with S.E.M.s are averages of between 4–10 replicate experiments (number in parenthesis); asterisks indicate significant differences between mutant and WT as judged by a two-tailed, unpaired Student’s t-test (*p<0.05; **p<0.01). (B–D) Effects of R13P and K16D on the dissociation kinetics of fluorescein-labeled eIF1A from reconstituted partial 43S•mRNA complexes, monitored by following changes in fluorescence anisotropy over time after addition of a large excess of unlabeled WT eIF1A. The data for WT eIF1A were fit with a double exponential decay equation, where the fast phase (rate constant k1) corresponds to dissociation of eIF1A from the ‘open’ conformation of the PIC and the second phase (rate constant k2) corresponds to dissociation from the ‘closed’ state (Maag et al., 2006). The ratio of amplitudes of the second phase (α2, closed state) to the first phase (α1, open state) is defined as Kamp. Data for both R13P/K16D were fit to a single exponential equation with rate constant k1. Rb is the anisotropy of PIC-bound eIF1A. (B–C) Representative eIF1A dissociation kinetics from PICs assembled with WT (circles), R13P (squares, panel B), or K16D (triangles, panel C) with mRNA(AUG) (filled symbols) or mRNA(UUG) (open symbols).

All experiments were performed at least two times and errors are average deviations.

Supplementary file 2

Excel file containing results and analyses from ribosome footprint profiling of WT and tif11-R13P cells.

Spreadsheet 1, ‘CDS_all Expr’, tabulates log2 values of the following parameters for the 5037 expressed genes listed in columns A-B for WT and tif11-R13P cells: Ribosome footprint sequencing reads (RPF_WT and RPF_R13P); mRNA sequencing reads (mRNA_WT and mRNA_R13P); the ratios RPF_R13P/RPF_WT (ΔRPF_ R13P) and mRNA_R13P/mRNA_WT (ΔmRNA_R13P); and the ratio ΔRPF_R13P/ΔmRNA_R13P (ΔTE_R13P). Spreadsheet 2, ‘Context_score’, contains a subset of genes in Spreadsheet 1 (4280 genes) with 5’UTR length >5 nt examined for additional parameters: 5’UTR length, sequences between positions −6 and +6, and the context scores. Spreadsheet 3, ‘AUG_uORFs_identified’, contains all 564 AUG uORFs identified using the yassour-uorf program from multiple datasets listed in Table S2, listing uORF chromosome coordinates, distances of the uORF AUG from the 5’ end of the mRNA and the main CDS start codon, uORF sequence contexts between the −3 and +4 positions and the context scores (NA, for uORF 5’ UTR <3 nt). Spreadsheet 4, ‘uORF_Expr’, tabulates log2 values of the following parameters for the 97 expressed uAUG uORFs listed in column A for WT and tif11-R13P cells: Ribosome footprint sequencing reads on CDS (RPF_CDS_WT and RPF_CDS_R13P); Ribosome footprint sequencing reads on uORFs (RPF_uORF_WT and RPF_uORF_R13P); the ratios RPF_CDS_R13P/RPF_CDS_WT (ΔRPF_CDS_ R13P) and RPF_uORF_R13P/RPF_uORF_WT (ΔRPF_uORF_R13P); Relative Ribosome Occupancy (RRO) for WT (the ratio of RPF_uORF_WT/RPF_CDS_WT, RRO_WT) and R13P (the ratio of RPF_uORF_R13P/RPF_CDS_R13P, RRO_R13P) and the ratio RRO_R13P/RRO_WT (RRO_R13P); Spreadsheet 5, PARS score analysis of 5’ UTRs of 2642 genes, conducted as described in (Sen et al., 2016) and their context scores as listed in Spreadsheet 2. Spreadsheet 6 ‘CDS_RPF_Change’, tabulates log2 values of the ratio RPF_R13P/RPF_WT (ΔRPF_R13P (log2)) and adjusted p-value (padj) for the 5083 expressed genes detected by the DESEQ2 package listed in columns A-B
