Abstract
AbstractEukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) decay is generally initiated by removal of the 3’ polyadenosine (poly(A)) tail by the CCR4-NOT complex. Yeast Ccr4-Not binds and ubiquitinates ribosomes stalled on mRNAs with sub-optimal codons to trigger deadenylation and decay of the associated transcript. However, the mammalian ortholog of the E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit, CNOT4, is not a constitutive component of human CCR4-NOT. It therefore remains unclear how the mammalian deadenylation machinery targets stalled ribosomes. Here, we reconstitute translational stalling on non-optimal codons. We find that human CCR4-NOT recognizes translating mammalian ribosomes and is required for stable CNOT4 association. Our cryoEM structure reveals that the CNOT3 subunit detects slow translation and locks the L1 stalk of the ribosome in an open conformation to impede further elongation. Using crosslinking mass spectrometry, we show that CNOT4 and CNOT11 also bind in the vicinity of the E site. Overall, our work defines how CCR4-NOT enforces ribosomal stalling in response to low codon optimality.
