Widespread Co-translational RNA Decay Reveals Ribosome Dynamics

Abstract

Summary It is generally assumed that mRNAs undergoing translation are protected from decay. Here we show that mRNAs are in fact co-translationally degraded. This is a widespread and conserved process affecting most genes, where 5’-3’ transcript degradation follows the last translating ribosome, producing an in vivo ribosomal footprint. By sequencing the ends of 5’phosphorylated mRNA degradation intermediates, we obtain a genome-wide drug-free measurement of ribosome dynamics. We identify general translation termination pauses in both normal and stress conditions. In addition, we describe novel codon-specific ribosomal pausing sites in response to oxidative stress, which are dependent on the RNase Rny1. Our approach is simple and straightforward, and does not require the use of translational inhibitors or in vitro RNA footprinting that can alter ribosome protection patterns.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
