RNA-seq of induced mitochronrial import stress and neurodegeneration in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: We adapted the yeast clogger system to Drosophila motoneurons to block TOM-TIM23-mediated import with temporal control. Sustained import stress converts somatic mitochondria into donut-shaped structures, depletes functional mitochondria from synaptic terminals, and causes progressive neurodegeneration with impaired neurotransmitter release and locomotor dysfunction. This neurodegeneration is mechanistically distinct from mitochondrial absence, as miro mutant neurons that completely lack presynaptic mitochondria do not degenerate. This dataset includes RNA-seq reads from an experiment when mito-IMMDHFR expression was induced pan-neuronally using the TARGET system (n-syb-Gal4; tub-Gal80ts) by shifting animals from 18°C to 29°C for 1, 2, or 3 days prior to collection at the wandering third instar larval stage.

Mitochondrial protein import stress augments alpha-synuclein aggregation and neurodegeneration independent of bioenergetics

Project description:Several genetic and environmental risk factors for Parkinson’s disease have been identified that converge on mitochondria as central elements in the disease process. However, the mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Non-bioenergetic pathways of the mitochondria are increasingly appreciated, but confounding bioenergetic defects are a major barrier to experimental validation. Here, we describe a novel bioenergetics-independent mechanism by which mild mitochondrial protein import stress augments neurodegeneration. We induced this mitochondrial protein import stress in an established mouse model of Parkinson’s disease expressing the A53T mutated form of human alpha-synuclein (SNCA). Mice with import stress in addition to the A53T mutation demonstrated increased size of SNCA aggregates, co-aggregation of mitochondrial preproteins with SNCA protein, worsened neurodegeneration and changes in gene expression, as determined by whole-transcriptome RNA-sequencing analysis of the forebrain (striatum), cerebellum, spinal cord, as well as heart and skeletal muscle.

Mitochondrial protein import clogging as a mechanism of disease

Project description:Mitochondrial biogenesis requires the import of >1,000 mitochondrial preproteins from the cytosol. Most studies on mitochondrial protein import are focused on the core import machinery. Whether and how the biophysical properties of substrate preproteins affect overall import efficiency is underexplored. Here, we show that protein traffic into mitochondria can be disrupted by amino acid substitutions in a single substrate preprotein. Pathogenic missense mutations in adenine nucleotide translocase 1 (Ant1), and its yeast homolog Aac2, cause the protein to accumulate along the protein import pathway, thereby obstructing general protein translocation into mitochondria. This impairs mitochondrial respiration, cytosolic proteostasis and cell viability independent of Ant1’s nucleotide transport activity. The mutations act synergistically, as double mutant Aac2/Ant1 cause severe clogging primarily at the Translocase of the Outer Membrane (TOM) complex. This confers extreme toxicity in yeast. In mice, expression of a super-clogger Ant1 variant led to neurodegeneration and an age-dependent dominant myopathy that phenocopy Ant1-induced human disease, suggesting clogging as a mechanism of disease. More broadly, this work implies the existence of uncharacterized amino acid requirements for mitochondrial carrier proteins to avoid clogging and subsequent disease.

Protein import motor complex reacts to mitochondrial misfolding by reducing protein import and activating mitophagy

Project description:Mitophagy is essential to maintain mitochondrial function and prevent diseases. It activates upon mitochondria depolarization, which causes PINK1 stabilization on the mitochondrial outer membrane. Strikingly, a number of conditions, including mitochondrial protein misfolding, can induce mitophagy without a loss in membrane potential. The underlying molecular details remain unclear. Here, we report that a loss of mitochondrial protein import, mediated by the pre-sequence translocase-associated motor complex PAM, is sufficient to induce mitophagy in polarized mitochondria. A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen for mitophagy inducers identifies components of the PAM complex. Protein import defects are able to induce mitophagy without a need for depolarization. Upon mitochondrial protein misfolding, PAM dissociates from the import machinery resulting in decreased protein import and mitophagy induction. Our findings extend the current mitophagy model to explain mitophagy induction upon conditions that do not affect membrane polarization, such as mitochondrial protein misfolding.

mitoCPR - a surveillance pathway that protects mitochondria in response to mitochondrial import stress [yeast]

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are essential for cell viability and rely on protein import into the organelle. Physiological perturbations and disease conditions can lead to mitochondrial import defect. We find that in budding yeast, mitochondrial import defects result in activation of a surveillance mechanism, which we termed mitoCPR. The mitoCPR is aimed at ameliorating mitochondrial import and protecting mitochondria during import stress. This is mediated by the mitoCPR effector, Cis1, which associates with mitochondria to reduce the accumulation of mitochondrial preproteins at the organelle's surface. Clearance of preproteins depends on the AAA-ATPase Msp1 and the proteasome, suggesting that Cis1 facilitates the degradation of unimported proteins that accumulate at the mitochondrial surface. We further show that mitoCPR is critical for maintaining mitochondrial functions during mitochondrial import stress and provide evidence that it is an ancient, conserved mitochondrial protection mechanism.

mitoCPR - a surveillance pathway that protects mitochondria in response to mitochondrial import stress

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are essential for cell viability and rely on protein import into the organelle. Various disease and stress conditions can lead to mitochondrial import defects. We find that inhibition of mitochondrial import in budding yeast activates a surveillance mechanism, mitoCPR, that is aimed at ameliorating mitochondrial import and protecting mitochondria during import stress. mitoCPR induces expression of Cis1 which associates with the mitochondrial translocase to reduce the accumulation of mitochondrial precursor proteins at the organelle surface. Clearance of precursor proteins depends on the Cis1 interacting AAA+ ATPase Msp1 and the proteasome suggesting that Cis1 facilitates degradation of un-imported proteins at the mitochondrial surface.

Direct mitochondrial import of lactate supports resilient carbohydrate oxidation

Project description:Lactate is the most abundant circulating metabolic intermediate in mammals and an important energy source for many organs. To use lactate as a fuel, it must be oxidized to pyruvate for entry into the TCA cycle. It is usually described that this reaction occurs in the cytosol and requires the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) for pyruvate transport into the mitochondria. Here, using 13C stable isotope tracing, we report that lactate can be oxidized in the heart tissue of mice even when the MPC is genetically deleted. MPC-independent lactate import and oxidation within mitochondria is dependent upon the monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1/ Slc16a1). Mitochondria isolated from Mct1iCKO hearts have impaired respiration on lactate but not pyruvate. Lactate import coupled to mitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase activity functions as an electron shuttle which can produce NADH sufficient for respiration even when the TCA cycle is blocked. Cardiac-specific loss of MCT1 leads to rapid decompensation into heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in response to diverse cardiac injuries. Thus, we identify a new mitochondrial electron shuttle that enables the oxidation of lactate and is required to support cardiac energetics under stress conditions.

Principles of cotranslational mitochondrial protein import revealed by selective ribosome profiling

Project description:The biogenesis of nearly all mitochondrial proteins begins with translation on cytosolic ribosomes. How these proteins are subsequently delivered to mitochondria remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically investigated the coupling of mitochondrial protein translation and import using selective ribosome profiling in human cells. Cotranslational targeting requires an N-terminal presequence on the nascent protein and contributes to mRNA localization at the mitochondrial surface. This pathway is predominantly used by large, multidomain and topologically complex proteins, whose import efficiency is enhanced when targeted cotranslationally. In contrast to protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), cotranslational mitochondrial import does not favor membrane proteins and initiates late during translation, specifically upon the exposure of a complex globular fold in the nascent protein. Our findings reveal a multi-layered protein sorting system that recognizes both the targeting signal and protein folding status during translation.

Inter-organellar and systemic survival responses to impaired mitochondrial matrix protein import in skeletal muscle

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are largely performed by proteins imported from cytosol. Impaired protein import in mitochondria affects the maintenance of intra-mitochondrial anabolic and energy metabolic pathways. It leads to cytosolic accumulation of mistargeted proteins and activation of cellular stress responses. To explore the communication between these mechanism in mammalian system, we targeted the co-chaperone of mitochondrial Hsp70, a GrpE Like protein 1 (Grpel1), in mice. We show that loss of protein import into mitochondrial matrix results in mitochondrial dysfunction, which triggers stress responses. The total shut down of mtHSP70 function by overall knockout of Grpel1 resulted in early embryonic lethality, and tamoxifen-induced skeletal muscle-specific knockout of Grpel1 caused rapid muscular atrophy. We show here, with transcriptomics analysis, that protein-import failure in mitochondria increased cellular proteotoxic stress due to mitochondrial dysfunction. As a control mechanism, it triggered adaptive stress responses, including unfolded protein responses and integrated stress responses. Metabolic profiling of skeletal muscle-specific knockout mice revealed amino acid and TCA cycle intermediates shuttle between serum and muscle.
