Mechanistic narrative

Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

ATE1 is an evolutionarily conserved arginyl-tRNA-protein transferase that post-translationally conjugates arginine onto acceptor proteins, generating Arg/N-degrons and modulating substrate stability and cytoskeletal behavior across yeast, Dictyostelium, and mammalian systems (PMID:2185248, PMID:30586322). The enzyme transfers Arg from Arg-tRNAArg not only to acidic N-terminal alpha-amino groups but also to internal side-chain carboxylates of Asp and Glu, an unconventional midchain arginylation, and proteome-scale profiling has mapped hundreds of N-terminal and midchain arginylation sites (PMID:24529990, PMID:40855110). Structurally, ATE1 is a bilobed protein with a GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) fold whose active site lies at the interface between the two domains, which together engage both the acidic substrate N-terminus and the Arg-tRNAArg cosubstrate, the tRNA being wrapped by a long unstructured loop; the apo enzyme dimerizes and substrate selectivity arises from multivalent micromolar-affinity interactions (PMID:35878037, PMID:36087779, PMID:40099869). A regulatory oxygen-sensitive [Fe-S] cluster binds the dynamic N-terminal domain and couples ATE1 activity to redox/oxygen state, and hemin inhibits arginylation while driving disulfide-mediated oligomerization (PMID:35878037, PMID:36087779, PMID:37010764). Through arginylation, ATE1 governs actin polymerization and focal-adhesion dynamics, neuronal growth-cone outgrowth coupled to local Ate1 mRNA translation, and myosin II contractility in platelets, where ATE1 loss enhances regulatory light-chain phosphorylation, clot retraction, and thrombus formation (PMID:24293517, PMID:28844905, PMID:30586322). ATE1 controls the proteasomal turnover of regulator-of-G-protein-signaling substrates RGS7 and RGS5, the latter linking ATE1 to Wnt/beta-catenin signaling and liver-cancer suppression (PMID:33931669, PMID:34158395). ATE1 also promotes stress-induced cell death, including oxidative-stress-driven mitochondrial translocation that triggers apoptosis, in a manner requiring its catalytic activity [PMID:27685622, PMID:bio_10.1101_2024.11.22.624728]. In cancer, ATE1 can act as a tumor promoter by stabilizing MYC through the ERK/MAPK axis, a function dependent on its arginyltransferase activity (PMID:40898325). The mammalian Ate1 gene is itself regulated by alternative splicing of mutually exclusive exons 7a/7b governed by long-range intronic RNA structures coupled to RNA Pol II elongation (PMID:33330934).
