ATPase-dependent role of the atypical kinase Rio2 on the evolving pre-40S ribosomal subunit
Rio2 is an atypical protein kinase required for pre-40S subunit maturation. The crystal structure of eukaryotic Rio2 with bound ATP and Mg 2+ reveals an unusual phosphoaspartate intermediate typically observed in P-type ATPases. Rio2 has in vitro ATPase activity, and its catalytic activity stimulate...

Zusammenfassung: | Rio2 is an atypical protein kinase required for pre-40S subunit maturation. The crystal structure of eukaryotic Rio2 with bound ATP and Mg
2+
reveals an unusual phosphoaspartate intermediate typically observed in P-type ATPases. Rio2 has
in vitro
ATPase activity, and its catalytic activity stimulates its own dissociation from the ribosome, which is required for pre-40S maturation.
Ribosome synthesis involves dynamic association of ribosome-biogenesis factors with evolving preribosomal particles. Rio2 is an atypical protein kinase required for pre-40S subunit maturation. We report the crystal structure of eukaryotic Rio2–ATP–Mg
2+
complex. The active site contains ADP-Mg
2+
and a phosphoaspartate intermediate typically found in Na
+
, K
+
and Ca
2+
ATPases but not protein kinases. Consistent with this finding,

Rio2 exhibits a robust ATPase activity

In vivo
, Rio2 docks on the ribosome, with its active site occluded and its flexible loop positioned to interact with the pre-40S subunit. Moreover, Rio2 catalytic activity is required for its dissociation from the ribosome, a necessary step in pre-40S maturation. We propose that phosphoryl transfer from ATP to Asp257 in Rio2's active site and subsequent hydrolysis of the aspartylphosphate could be a trigger to power late cytoplasmic 40S subunit biogenesis. |
