Stress-Induced MazF-Mediated Proteins in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content>
ABSTRACT Escherichia coli mazEF is an extensively studied stress-induced toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. The toxin MazF is an endoribonuclease that cleaves RNAs at ACA sites. By that means, under stress, the induced MazF generates a stress-induced translation machinery (STM) composed of MazF-processed...

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli mazEF is an extensively studied stress-induced toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. The toxin MazF is an endoribonuclease that cleaves RNAs at ACA sites. By that means, under stress, the induced MazF generates a stress-induced translation machinery (STM) composed of MazF-processed mRNAs and selective ribosomes that specifically translate the processed mRNAs. Here, we performed a proteomic analysis of all the E. coli stress-induced proteins that are mediated through the chromosomally borne mazF gene. We show that the mRNAs of almost all of them are characterized by the presence of an ACA site up to 100 nucleotides upstream of the AUG initiator. Therefore, under stressful conditions, induced MazF processes mRNAs that are translated by STM. Furthermore, the presence of the ACA sites far upstream (up to 100 nucleotides) of the AUG initiator may still permit translation by the canonical translation machinery. Thus, such dual-translation mechanisms enable the bacterium under stress also to prepare proteins for immediate functions while coming back to normal growth conditions.
