Measuring the dynamics of E. coli ribosome biogenesis using pulse-labeling and quantitative mass spectrometry

Open access

Abstract

The ribosome is an essential organelle responsible for cellular protein synthesis. Until recently, the study of ribosome assembly has been largely limited to in vitro assays, with few attempts to reconcile these results with the more complex ribosome biogenesis process inside the living cell. Here, we characterize the ribosome synthesis and assembly pathway for each of the E. coli ribosomal protein (r-protein) in vivo using a stable isotope pulse-labeling timecourse. Isotope incorporation into assembled ribosomes was measured by quantitative mass spectrometry (qMS) and fit using steady-state flux models. Most r-proteins exhibit precursor pools ranging in size from 0% to 7% of completed ribosomes, and the sizes of these individual r-protein pools correlate well with the order of r-protein binding in vitro. Additionally, we observe anomalously large precursor pools for specific r-proteins with known extra-ribosomal functions, as well as three r-proteins that apparently turnover during steady-state growth. Taken together, this highly precise, time-dependent proteomic qMS approach should prove useful in future studies of ribosome biogenesis and could be easily extended to explore other complex biological processes in a cellular context.

  • Roughly 5% of ribosomal proteins are not ribosome-associated per ribosomal protein.

    “We chose 25 proteins because it has been reported that roughly 5% of ribosomal proteins are not ribosome-associated per ribosomal protein.73”

    From Bringing the genetically minimal cell to life on a computer in 4D (2026) · cites this paper as [73]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) reports precursor pools of up to 7% for many E. coli ribosomal proteins, so the paper supports the existence of proteins outside completed ribosomes. It does not establish that roughly 5% of each ribosomal protein is not ribosome-associated: pool sizes vary, and the measured pools include proteins bound to ribosome assembly intermediates as well as free proteins.

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.
