eIF5A promotes +1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting in Euplotes octocarinatus

Programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) exists in all branches of life that regulate gene expression at the translational level. The single-celled eukaryote Euplotes exhibit high frequency of PRF. However, the molecular mechanism of modulating Euplotes PRF remains largely unknown. Here, we identified two novel eIF5A genes, eIF5A1 and eIF5A2, in Euplotes octocarinatus and found that the Eo-eIF5A2 gene requires a -1 PRF to produce complete protein product. Although both Eo-eIF5As showed significant structural similarity with yeast eIF5A, neither of them could functionally replace yeast eIF5A. Eo-eIF5A knockdown inhibited +1 PRF of the η-tubulin gene. Using an in vitro reconstituted translation system, we found that hypusinated Eo-eIF5A (Eo-eIF5AH) can promote +1 PRF at the canonical AAA_UAA frameshifting site of Euplotes. The results showed eIF5A is a novel trans-regulator of PRF in Euplotes and has an evolutionary conserved role in regulating +1 PRF in eukaryotes.
