Project description:HIM-17 has been implicated in the regulation of DNA double-strand break (DSB) formation during meiosis in C. elegans. In a study assessing various accessory factors involved in programmed meiotic DSB formation we show data identifying protein interactions with HIM-17 obtained by assessing HIM-17-GFP pull-downs by LC-MS/MS analysis.

Project description:Developmental experiences play critical roles in shaping adult physiology and behavior. We and others previously showed that adult C. elegans which transiently experienced dauer arrest during development (PD: post-dauer) exhibit distinct gene expression profiles as compared to control adults which bypassed the dauer stage. In particular, the expression patterns of subsets of chemoreceptor genes are markedly altered in PD adults. Whether altered chemoreceptor levels drive plasticity in chemosensory behaviors in PD adults is unknown. Via transcriptional profiling of sorted populations of AWA neurons from control and PD adults, we further show that the expression of a subset of chemoreceptor genes in AWA are differentially regulated in PD animals. Our results suggest that developmental experiences may be encoded at the level of olfactory receptor regulation, and provide an elegant mechanism by which C. elegans is able to precisely modulate its behavioral preferences as a function of its current and past experiences.

Project description:Murine or human cancer cells have high glutathione levels. Depletion of the elevated GSH inhibits proliferation of cancer cells. Molecular basis for this observation is little understood. In an attempt to find out the underlying mechanism, we reproduced these effects in transformed C3H10T1/2 and BALB/c 3T3 cells using diethyl maleate and studied cytogenomic changes in the whole mouse genome using spotted 8 M-CM-^W 60K arrays. Transformed cells revealed an increase in GSH levels. GSH depletion by DEM inhibited the growth of transformed cells. The non-cytotoxic dose of DEM (0.25 mM) resulted in GSH depletion, ROS generation, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, decrease in anchorage independent growth, gene expression changes and activation of all three members of the MAPK family. Increase in intracellular GSH levels by GSHe countered the effect of DEM. These results support the physiological importance of GSH in regulation of gene expression for transformed cell growth restraint. This study is of interest in not only understanding the molecular biology of the transformed cells, but also in identifying new targets for development of gene therapy together with the chemotherapy.

Project description:Excessive iron accumulation or deficiency have detrimental consequences across species, leading to a variety of pathologies in humans. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans severe iron as well as oxygen deprivation induce developmental arrest. Instead, hypoxia preconditioning protects against severe hypoxia-induced neuromuscular damage and sub-lethal levels of iron depletion extend lifespan in C. elegans. The positive health outcomes of applying hypoxia preconditioning are obvious but have low feasible application. Here, we thus assessed the potential beneficial effects of genetic and chemical interventions acting via mild iron instead of oxygen depletion. We show that limiting iron availability through frataxin silencing or the iron chelator bipyridine, similar to hypoxia preconditioning, protect against hypoxia-, age- and proteotoxicityinduced neuromuscular deficits. Mechanistically, our data suggest that the beneficial effects elicited by frataxin silencing are at least in part mediated by counteracting ferroptosis, a form of non-apoptotic cell death specifically mediated by iron-induced lipid peroxidation. These is achieved by impacting on different key players of the ferroptosis machinery and likely via novel, gpx-independent redox systems. We thus point to ferroptosis inhibition as a novel strategy to promote healthy aging.

Project description:To determine the effects of glucose-like oxidase and GSH-consumed nanoenzymes on regulatory genes and molecular pathways of mouse triple negative breast cancer cells (4T1 cells), we studied the RNA sequences of 4T1 cells treated with medium (control), Cu-TCPP (Fe)-PEG(Cu-TCPP) and Au/Cu-TCPP (Fe)-PEG(Au-TCPP).

Project description:Understanding how C. elegans interacts with the bacteria it feeds upon enables us to better comprehend the complex interactions occurring at the interface of host and microbe. Here we have assessed the proteome of C. elegans after growth on bacteria capable of colonising the gut via a comparative analysis of C. elegans grown on two environmentally obtained species of Ochrobactrum (MYb71 and MYb237) verses C. elegans grown on E. coli OP50. A total of 4,677 C. elegans proteins were identified, with quantification under our criteria possible for more than 84% (3,941) of these proteins. Significant alterations in protein abundances were observed for 122 proteins, 48 higher in abundance and 74 lower in abundance. We observed an increase in abundance of proteins potentially regulated via host signalling pathways, in addition to several proteins involved in the breakdown and detoxification of foreign entities (e.g. lipase, proteases, glutathione metabolism). Of the proteins decreased in abundance, a number are involved in both degradation (branch chain amino acids) and biosynthesis (cysteine, methionine, glycine, serine and threonine) of amino acids. While enzymes associated with the degradation of peptidoglycan were also less abundant (Lys-4, Lys-5). The differences observed in C. elegans following growth on alternative food source bacteria, as opposed to the normal E. coli OP50, help to highlight the subtle nuances that are, more often than not, overlooked in classical host pathogen studies.

Project description:Proteostasis is achieved by quality control pathways that support the generation of correctly folded proteins, prevent protein misfolding and remove toxic proteins. The quality control E3 ligase CHIP ubiquitylates damaged proteins consigned by chaperone partners for disposal through the endo-lysosomal pathway, proteasomal degradation, or autophagy. Additionally, CHIP has been reported to modulate essential signaling pathways by precisely delivering a myriad of native proteins to destined fates. We aimed at understanding the substrate specificity and processivity through a “structure to function” approach, by examining the modeled 3D structure of the C. elegans ortholog of CHIP, CHN-1, based on the reported structure of murine CHIP. Using different model organisms and various genetic and biochemical analyses, we demonstrate that monomeric CHN-1/CHIP has preserved ubiquitylation activity and promotes longevity via the IIS pathway. The lack of monomer results in premature aging and neurodegenerative disorder. Our data reveal that autoubiquitylation plays an important role in the alteration between monomer and dimer. Together, the conserved dimer-monomer transition provides a molecular switch regulating CHIP activity in response to proteotoxic stress and aging.

Project description:Organismal physiology and survival are influenced by environmental conditions and linked to protein quality control. Proteome integrity is achieved by maintaining an intricate balance between protein folding and degradation. In Caenorhabditis elegans, acute heat stress determines cell non-autonomous regulation of chaperone levels. However, how the perception of environmental changes, including physiological temperature, affects protein degradation remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that loss-of-function of dyf-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans associated with dysfunctional sensory neurons leads to defects in both temperature perception and thermal adaptation of the ubiquitin/proteasome system centered on thermosensory AFD neurons. Impaired perception of moderate temperature changes worsens ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in intestinal cells. Brain-gut communication regulating protein turnover is mediated by upregulation of the insulin-like peptide INS-5 and inhibition of the calcineurin-regulated forkhead-box transcription factor DAF-16/FOXO. Our data indicate that perception of ambient temperature and its neuronal integration is critical for the control of proteome integrity in complex organisms.
