Project description:Maintaining proteostasis is key to resisting stress and to promoting healthy aging. Proteostasis is necessary to preserve stem cell function, but little is known about the mechanisms that regulate proteostasis during stress in stem cells, and whether disruptions in proteostasis contribute stem cell aging is largely unexplored. We determined that ex vivo cultured mouse and human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) rapidly increase protein synthesis. This challenge to HSC proteostasis was associated with nuclear accumulation of Hsf1, and deletion of Hsf1 impaired HSC maintenance ex vivo. Strikingly, supplementing cultures with small molecules that enhance Hsf1 activation partially suppressed protein synthesis, rebalanced proteostasis, and supported retention of HSC serial reconstituting activity. Although Hsf1 was dispensable for young adult HSCs in vivo, Hsf1 deficiency increased protein synthesis and impaired the reconstituting activity of middle-aged HSCs. Hsf1 thus promotes proteostasis and the regenerative activity of HSCs in response to culture stress and aging.

Project description:Host protein folding stress responses can play important roles in RNA virus replication and evolution. Intriguingly, prior work revealed a complicated interplay between the cytosolic proteostasis stress response, controlled by its master regulator heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). We sought to isolate HSF1 transcription factor activity from proteostasis stress and elucidate the function of HSF1 in HIV-1 lifecycle in absence of cellular stress. We used chemical genetic, stress-independent control of HSF1 activity to establish whether and how HSF1 influences HIV-1 replication. Stress-independent HSF1 induction decreased both the total quantity and infectivity of HIV-1 virions. Moreover, HIV-1 was unable to escape HSF1-mediated restriction over the course of several serial passages. These results promote continued consideration of the heat shock response as a potential target for antiviral drugs.

Project description:Proteostasis collapse, the diminished ability to maintain protein homeostasis, has been established as a hallmark of nematode aging. However, whether proteostasis collapse occurs in humans has remained unclear. Here, we demonstrate that proteostasis decline is intrinsic to human senescence. Using transcriptome-wide characterization of gene expression, splicing, and translation, we found a significant deterioration in the transcriptional activation of the heat shock response in stressed senescent cells. Furthermore, phosphorylated HSF1 nuclear localization and distribution were impaired in senescence. Interestingly, alternative splicing regulation was also dampened. Surprisingly, we found a decoupling between different unfolded protein response (UPR) branches in stressed senescent cells. While young cells initiated UPR-related translational and transcriptional regulatory responses, senescent cells showed enhanced translational regulation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress sensing; however, they were unable to trigger UPR-related transcriptional responses. This was accompanied by diminished ATF6 nuclear localization in stressed senescent cells. Finally, we found that proteasome function was impaired following heat stress in senescent cells, and did not recover upon return to normal temperature. Together, our data unraveled a deterioration in the ability to mount dynamic stress transcriptional programs upon human senescence with broad implications on proteostasis control and connected proteostasis decline to human aging.

Project description:Protein homeostasis and cellular fitness in the presence of proteotoxic stress is promoted by heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), which controls basal and stress-induced expression of molecular chaperones and other targets. The major heat shock proteins Hsp70 and Hsp90 in turn participate in a negative feedback loop that ensures appropriate coordination of the heat shock response with environmental conditions. Features of this regulatory circuit in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been recently defined, most notably regarding direct interaction between Hsf1 and the constitutively expressed Hsp70 Ssa1. We sought to further explore the complex nature of Ssa1/Hsf1 regulation. Ssa1 is found to interact independently with both the previously defined CE2 site in the Hsf1 carboxyl-terminal transcriptional activation domain as well as a novel site that we identify within the amino-terminal activation domain. Consistent with both sites bearing a recognition signature for Hsp70, we demonstrate that Ssa1 contacts Hsf1 using its substrate binding domain and abolishing either regulatory site results in loss of Ssa1 association. Removing Hsp70 regulation of Hsf1 results in global dysregulation of Hsf1 transcriptional activity, with synergistic effects when both sites are disrupted together on both gene expression and cellular fitness. Finally, we find that Hsp70 interacts with both transcriptional activation domains of Hsf1 in the related yeast Lachancea kluyveri, implying a conserved mechanism of regulation to promote cellular proteostasis.

Project description:Heat Shock Factor 1 (Hsf1) in yeast drives the basal transcription of key proteostasis factors and its activity is induced as part of the core heat shock response. In this study we stringently test the role of Hsf1 under basal and stress conditions using a newly constructed hsf1∆ strain. To assess how cells mount transcriptional stress responses when Hsf1 is inactivated, we performed mRNA-sequencing (mRNA-seq) upon hear shock (HS) or treatment with azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (AzC).

Project description:We used the conditional chemical genetics approach known as “anchor away” (AA) to rapidly inactivate the essential yeast transcription factor Hsf1. We coupled Hsf1-AA to RNA-seq and NET-seq to define the genes whose expression depends on Hsf1 and performed Hsf1-3xFLAG-V5 ChIP-seq to validate direct targets. We also carried out a number of other perturbations to yeast stress pathways to show that most of the gene expression changes during heat shock are Hsf1-independent but depend on PKA signaling and the Msn2/4 general stress transcription factors. Finally, we generated RNA-seq in mouse ES cells and MEFs in wild type and hsf1-/- cells to define HSF1 targets in murine cells.
