Mechanisms of ribosomopathy and phase separation-related ribosomopathy

Abstract: Ribosome is an intracellular ribonucleoprotein particle that serves as the site of protein biosynthesis. Ribosomal dysfunction caused by mutations in genes encoding ribosomal proteins (RPs) and ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs) can lead to a spectrum of diseases, collectively known as ribosomopathy. Phase separation is a thermodynamic process that produces multiple phases from a homogeneous mixture. The formation of membraneless organelles and intracellular structures, including ribosomes and nucleoli, cannot occur without the involvement of phase separation. Here, ribosome structure, biogenesis, and their relationship with ribosomopathy are systematically reviewed. The tissue specificity of ribosomopathy and the role of phase separation in ribosomopathy are particularly discussed, which may offer some clues for understanding the mechanisms of ribosomopathy. Then, some new ideas for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of ribosomopathy are provided.

Key words: Ribosome; Phase separation; Ribosomopathy; Tissue specificity

摘要:核糖体是细胞内的核糖核蛋白颗粒,是蛋白质生物合成的场所。编码核糖体蛋白(RP)和核糖体生物发生因子(RBF)的基因突变会导致核糖体功能障碍,从而引发一系列疾病,统称为核糖体病。相分离是一种从均质混合物中产生多相的热力学过程。无膜细胞器和细胞内结构(包括核糖体和核小体)的形成离不开相分离现象的参与。本文系统综述了核糖体的结构、生物发生及其与核糖体病的关系,特别讨论了核糖体病的组织特异性和相分离在其中的作用机制。这些发现为理解核糖体病的发病机理提供重要线索,并为进一步开展核糖体病预防、诊断和治疗提供了新思路。
