Ribopuromycylation method (RPM) measures ribosome transit times in HeLa and human lymphocytes.
(A) Schematic representation of the RPM ribosome transit analysis (RTA) method. Translation initiation is blocked and the decrease in RPM is monitored as the elongating ribosomes run off mRNA. (B) RPM-RTA in HeLa cells. Harringtonine (HAR, 5 μg/ml) is used to inhibit new ribosome initiation; emetine (EME, 25 μg/ml) is used to freeze ribosomes on mRNA; puromycin (PMY, 50 μg/ml) generates RPM signal. Curve is fitted using one phase exponential decay, and ribosome transit times are expressed as RPM half-time to decay. Representative of three biological replicates. (C) Same as B, but cells are instead lysed in the presence of MG-132 and subjected to anti-puromycin western blot analysis. Representative of two biological replicates. (D) Representative plots of the RPM-RTA signal in resting and activated human lymphocytes (left three panels). Gated on CD45 cells. Far right, ribosome transit times determined from three independent donors. Each dot represents data from one individual donor; the horizontal bars indicate the mean. p-values indicate one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) pairwise comparisons. (E) Ribosome transit times as in A but determined by [3H]-Leu incorporation instead of RPM. After treatment with HAR or HAR plus EME, cells were labeled for 5 min in 0.25 mCi/ml [3H]-Leu. Right panel, ribosome transit times determined by [3H]-Leu incorporation from three independent donors. Each dot represents data from one individual donor; the horizontal bars indicate the mean.

Translation rates of resting and activated T cells in vivo.
(A) Depiction of the in vivo ribopuromycylation method (RPM)-ribosome transit assay (RTA) method. Labeled OT-I T cells are first adoptively transferred, followed by VACV-SIINFEKL infection of mice. RTA analysis is performed by intravenous injection of harringtonine (HAR) followed by puromycin (PMY; +/− cycloheximide [CHX] to prevent leakiness from HAR inhibition alone). Spleens are harvested for RPM analysis on both endogenous and transferred T cells. Schematic designed with Biorender. (B) Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled Ly5.2+ (CD45.2+CD45.1−) OT-I T cells were adoptively transferred into Ly5.1 (CD45.1+CD45.2−) mice, which were then infected with VACV-SIINFEKL to activate the OT-I cells. Three days after infection, mice were intravenously injected with HAR simultaneously with PMY for 5 min (maximum signal), or first injected with HAR for ~110, ~275, or ~575 s before being injected with PMY for 5 min. Splenocytes from mice were harvested, surface stained for gating and activation markers as indicated, fixed and permeabilized, and stained for RPM. Gates were CFSElow OT-I CD8+ T cells to measure decay in activated cells, and CD44−CD8+ or CD44−CD4+ T cells to measure decay in resting T cells. The curve was generated by fitting to a one phase exponential decay. Representative of two independent experiments, 2–4 mice per group, with the mean and standard deviation of the calculated half-life decays as indicated. (C) RTA, with the CHX modification, of adoptively transferred OT-I T cells or un-activated host CD8+ T cells in mice infected for 2 or 3 days with VACV-SIINFEKL. Three to four independent experiments combined, normalized by setting maximum background-subtracted signal to 100.

Ribopuromycylation method (RPM) cell phenotyping and in vivo T cell division.
(A) C57BL/6 mice were treated intravenously with cycloheximide (CHX) and puromycin (PMY) or only PMY. After the indicated times, splenocytes were harvested, surface stained, fixed/permeabilized, and RPM staining was performed. Representative of three independent experiments, 2–3 mice per group. (B) In one set of C57BL/6 mice, harringtonine (HAR) was intravenously injected for 15 min before intravenously injecting mice with PMY for 5 min. In a second set of mice, CHX and PMY were IV injected for 5 min. Splenocytes from each set of mice were harvested, surface stained, fixed, and permeabilized, and RPM staining was performed for various immune cell subsets. To determine relative amounts of ribosomes, the ‘HAR then PMY’ RPM signal was subtracted from the CHX + PMY RPM signal for each cell subset after flow cytometry. Representative of two independent experiments, 2–4 mice per group. (C) Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled Ly5.2+ (CD45.2+CD45.1−) OT-I cells were adoptively transferred into Ly5.1+ (CD45.1+CD45.2−) mice, which were then infected with VAC-SIINFEKL. One to three days after infection, mice were intravenously injected with CHX simultaneously with PMY for 5 min. Splenocytes from the mice were harvested, surface stained, fixed and permeabilized, and RPM staining was performed. Representative flow cytometry plots gated on OT-I T cells. (D) Gating strategy used to display and quantify in vivo T cell data as described in panel C and elsewhere. (E) Number of divisions (by CFSE dilution) of OT-I T cells 1–3 days after infection of mice with VACV-SIINFEKL. (F) Amount of translation as measured by RPM signal (with ‘no PMY’ signal subtracted) in uninfected, or 1-, 2-, or 3-day VACV-SIINFEKL-infected mice.

Puromycylation reveals percentage of actively translating monosomes in resting and activated T cells.
(A) OT-I mice were treated intravenously with cycloheximide (CHX) and puromycin (PMY), and lymphocytes from the spleens and lymph nodes were isolated and subjected to polysome profiling by ultracentrifugation through 15–45% sucrose gradients (resting OT-I T cells). OT-I T cells activated in vitro for 2 days with PMA/ionomycin and IL-2 (without cognate SIINFEKL peptide) were treated either with CHX alone (no PMY control) or CHX with PMY and subjected to polysome profiling. The indicated fractions were collected, pooled, and their ribosomes were re-isolated and dotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane for blotting with antibodies against PMY and RPL7. After subtraction of background signal from the anti-puro antibody (middle panel), the PMY/RPL7 ratio of monosomes was expressed relative to that of polysomes, which was defined as 100% translating. Representative of two biological replicates. (B) For resting T cells, OT-I mice were treated intravenously with CHX, and lymphocytes from the spleens or lymph nodes were isolated and lysed. For activated T cells, lymph node or splenic OT-I T cells were stimulated in vitro for 2 days with PMA/ionomycin, IL-2, and exogenous SIINFEKL, followed by treatment with CHX for 5 min. For both resting and activated cells, ribosome-containing lysates were fractionated via ultracentrifugation on 15–45% sucrose gradients. Representative of two biological replicates.

Cells were treated with cycloheximide (CHX) for 5 min, lysed, and brought to either 300 or 500 mM NaCl final concentration. Ribosome-containing lysates were subjected to polysome profiling via ultracentrifugation through 15–45% sucrose gradients containing either 300 or 500 mM NaCl.

T cell accounting reveals discrepancy in proteome duplication rate for activated T cells in vivo.
(A) Measurements made to calculate in vitro and in vivo rates of T cell division. (B) Volume calculations based on diameter measurements made by automated cell counter for the indicated cell types. Days 1 and 2 represent in vitro activated OT-I T cells. Ex vivo day 2 represent cells activated in vivo for 2 days, followed by isolation and processing.

Additionally, an exogenous mRNA standard is spiked into the sample prior to RNA isolation to determine the percent loss in yield during the purification procedure. Combined, this method allows for the accurate determination of total number of 18S and 28S molecules per cell. (F) Number of ribosomes per cell for the indicated cells. (G) Ribosome per fL for the indicated cells. (H) The protein/ribosome ratio, a representation of how many proteins a single ribosome would need to create to duplicate the proteome.

Fractionation of HeLa or T cells reveals few ribosomal components in nuclear lysates.
HeLa cells (A), freshly isolated resting OT-I T cells (B), or OT-I T cells stimulated with PMA/ionomycin and IL-2 in vitro for 2 days (C) were either lysed directly in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) extraction buffer (all) or subjected to a hypotonic lysis procedure to isolate non-nuclear lysates and nuclear lysates. Equal amounts of each fraction were subjected to immunoblotting for markers typical of the cytosol, ER, and nucleus. Antibodies against ribosomal proteins were used to determine where the majority of ribosomal proteins (and therefore ribosomes) fractionated. Controls with antibodies specific for nucleolar located fibrillarin, histone H3, and lamin A/C establish lack of nuclear contamination in non-nuclear fractions. ER and cytoplasmic proteins HSP90, GRP94, PDI, and actin indicate lack of contamination in the nuclear fraction. Representative of two experiments.
