Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus reinitiation stimulating TURBS RNA bound to rabbit ribosome
Structural highlights
FunctionRSSA_RABIT Required for the assembly and/or stability of the 40S ribosomal subunit (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755). Required for the processing of the 20S rRNA-precursor to mature 18S rRNA in a late step of the maturation of 40S ribosomal subunits (PubMed:23873042, PubMed:25601755). Also functions as a cell surface receptor for laminin (By similarity). Plays a role in cell adhesion to the basement membrane and in the consequent activation of signaling transduction pathways (By similarity). May play a role in cell fate determination and tissue morphogenesis (By similarity). Also acts as a receptor for several other ligands, including the pathogenic prion protein, viruses, and bacteria. Acts as a PPP1R16B-dependent substrate of PPP1CA (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_03016][1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedCertain viral RNAs encode proteins downstream of their main open reading frame, expressed through "termination-reinitiation" events. In some cases, structures located upstream of the first stop codon within these viral RNAs bind the ribosome, inhibiting ribosome recycling and inducing reinitiation. We used bioinformatics methods to identify new examples of viral reinitiation-stimulating RNAs and experimentally verified their secondary structure and function. We determined the structure of a representative viral RNA-ribosome complex using cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM). 3D classification and variability analyses reveal that the viral RNA structure can sample a range of conformations while remaining tethered to the ribosome, enabling the ribosome to find a reinitiation start site within a limited range of mRNA sequence. Evaluating the conserved features and constraints of this entire RNA class within the context of the cryo-EM reconstruction provides insight into mechanisms enabling reinitiation, a translation regulation strategy employed by many other viral and eukaryotic systems. A conserved class of viral RNA structures regulates translation reinitiation through dynamic ribosome interactions.,Sherlock ME, Langeberg CJ, Segar KE, Kieft JS Cell Rep. 2025 Feb 1;44(2):115236. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2025.115236.
