Although proven with some examples, the impact of the ribosomal speed on the folding and solubility on a global, cell-wide level remains elusive. Here we show that upregulation of three low-abundance tRNAs in Escherichia coil increased the aggregation propensity of several cellular proteins as a result of an accelerated elongation rate. Intriguingly, alterations in the concentration of the natural tRNA pool compromised the solubility of various chaperones consequently rendering the solubility of some chaperone-dependent proteins.}, language = {en} } @article{LukoszekMuellerRoeberIgnatova2013, author = {Lukoszek, Radoslaw and M{\"u}ller-R{\"o}ber, Bernd and Ignatova, Zoya}, title = {Interplay between polymerase II- and polymerase III-assisted expression of overlapping genes}, series = {FEBS letters : the journal for rapid publication of short reports in molecular biosciences}, volume = {587}, journal = {FEBS letters : the journal for rapid publication of short reports in molecular biosciences}, number = {22}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0014-5793}, doi = {10.1016/j.febslet.2013.09.033}, pages = {3692 -- 3695}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Up to 15\% of the genes in different genomes overlap. This architecture, although beneficial for the genome size, represents an obstacle for simultaneous transcription of both genes. Here we analyze the interference between RNA-polymerase II (Pol II) and RNA-polymerase III (Pol III) when transcribing their target genes encoded on opposing strands within the same DNA fragment in Arabidopsis thaliana. The expression of a Pol II-dependent protein-coding gene negatively correlated with the transcription of a Pol III-dependent, tRNA-coding gene set. We suggest that the architecture of the overlapping genes introduces an additional layer of control of gene expression. (C) 2013 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
