Abstract

Entamoeba histolytica, an anaerobic protozoan parasite, is the causative agent of amoebiasis, bloody diarrhea, and liver abscesses in humans. Amoebiasis is more predominant in tropical areas with poor sanitation conditions, and it remains the fourth leading cause of death due to a protozoan infection. E. histolytica life cycle spans between an infective 'cyst stage' and an active disease-causing 'trophozoite stage'. We have isolated ribosomes from the trophozoite stage of E. histolytica. Here, we report single particle cryo-EM structures of the 53S ribosome large subunit (LSU), and 75S associated ribosomes, with P-tRNA, A/P and P/E tRNAs, and with paromomycin antibiotic, at 2.8 Å to 3.4 Å resolution. The E. histolytica possesses a reduced ribosome with a conserved core, and the periphery evolved with species-specific unique features. The most notable features are the presence of the rRNA triple helix near the peptide exit tunnel, the expansion segment H88ES102 near the exit site on LSU, and unique insertions in r-proteins. Furthermore, the 75S ribosome paromomycin complex structure provides the atomic details of its interactions. These structures provide insights into the evolutionary adaptation of the E. histolytica translational machinery and may be explored further for amoebicidal therapeutic intervention.

摘要

溶组织内阿米巴是一种厌氧原生动物寄生虫,是人类阿米巴病、血性腹泻和肝脓肿的病原体。阿米巴病在卫生条件差的热带地区更为普遍,它仍然是原生动物感染导致死亡的第四大原因。溶组织内阿米巴的生命周期介于感染性的“包囊阶段”和致病性的“滋养体阶段”之间。我们从溶组织内阿米巴的滋养体阶段分离出了核糖体。在此,我们报告了53S核糖体大亚基(LSU)以及75S相关核糖体的单颗粒冷冻电镜结构,这些结构分别结合了P位tRNA、A/P位和P/E位tRNA,以及巴龙霉素抗生素,分辨率在2.8 Å至3.4 Å之间。溶组织内阿米巴拥有一个具有保守核心的简化核糖体,其外围具有物种特异性的独特特征。最显著的特征是在肽出口通道附近存在rRNA三螺旋,在LSU的出口位点附近有扩展片段H88ES102,以及r蛋白中的独特插入序列。此外,75S核糖体-巴龙霉素复合物结构提供了其相互作用的原子细节。这些结构为溶组织内阿米巴翻译机制的进化适应性提供了见解,并且可能为杀阿米巴治疗干预的进一步探索提供依据。
