Long and branched polyamines are required for maintenance of the ribosome, tRNA(His) and tRNA(Tyr) in Thermus thermophilus cells at high temperatures

Résumé

Thermus thermophilus is an extremely thermophilic eubacterium that produces various polyamines. Aminopropylagmatine ureohydrolase (SpeB) and SAM decarboxylase-like protein 1 (SpeD1) are involved in the biosynthesis of spermidine from arginine. Because long and branched polyamines in T. thermophilus are synthesized from spermidine, the speB and speD1 gene-deleted strains (ΔspeB and ΔspeD1, respectively) cannot synthesize long and branched polyamines. Although neither strain grew at high temperatures (\textgreater75°C) in minimal medium, both strains survived at 80°C when they were cultured at 70°C until the mid-log phase and then shifted to 80°C. We therefore prepared the ΔspeB and ΔspeD1 cells using this culture method. Microscopic analysis showed that both strains can survive for 10 h after the temperature shift. Although the modification levels of 2'-O-methylguanosine at position 18, N(7) -methylguanosine at position 46, 5-methyluridine at position 54 and N(1) -methyladenosine at position 58 in the class I tRNA from both strains were normal, amounts of tRNA(Tyr) , tRNA(His) , rRNAs and 70S ribosomes were decreased after the temperature shift. Furthermore, in vivo protein synthesis in both strains was completely lost 10 h after the temperature shift. Thus, long and branched polyamines are required for at least the maintenance of 70S ribosome and some tRNA species at high temperatures.
