Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type-1 is caused by an abnormally expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in ataxin-1 protein. These expansions are responsible for protein misfolding and self-assembly into intranuclear inclusion bodies (IIBs) that are linked to neuronal death. Here, we describe a nuclear protein aggregation model of pathogenic human ataxin-1. Using an inducible Sleeping Beauty transposon system, we overexpressed ATXN1Q82 gene in human mesenchymal stem cells that are resistant to the early cytotoxic effects of the mutant protein. We characterized the structure and the protein composition of insoluble polyQ IIBs which gradually occupy the nuclei. In response to their formation, our transcriptome analysis reveals a cerebellum-specific perturbed protein interaction network, primarily affecting protein translation. Our study resolves the previously unknown architecture of insoluble polyQ IIBs and suggests that they affect the assembly and the function of the ribosome. Our inducible cell system faithfully models a human cerebellum at the end-stage of the disease.

Project description:We recently identified the RNA targets of Ataxin-2 by using PAR-CLIP. To elucidate the functional role of Ataxin-2 on target-binding, we have knocked down or overexpressed Ataxin-2 in HEK293T cells and extracted RNAs 48 hrs after transfection. Then, these total RNAs were subjected to whole transcripts microarray analysis to examine how the perturbation of Ataxin-2 expression affects target gene expression. Ataxin-2 was either knocked down using siRNA or overexpressed using the expression construct of Halo-Ataxin-2.Control siRNA was transfected as a control of knockdown experiment. The expression construct of Halo-tag alone was used as a control of overexpression experiment. Forty-eight hrs after transfection, total RNAs were extracted and subjected to microarray analysis.

Project description:Ataxin-2 is a conserved translational control protein as well as an important target for ALS therapeutics under development. Despite its clinical and biological significance, Ataxin-2’s activities, mechanisms and functions are not well understood. Using Drosophila Ataxin-2 (Atx2) we investigate how Ataxin-2 IDRs work with structured (Lsm, Lsm-AD and PAM2) domains to enable positive and negative regulation of target mRNAs. Using TRIBE (Targets of RNA-Binding Proteins Identified by Editing) technology, we identified and analysed Atx-2 target mRNAs in the Drosophila brain.

Project description:Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) is a gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type II (SCA2), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinsonism. The encoded protein is a therapeutic target for ALS and related conditions. ATXN2 (or Atx2 in insects) functions in translational regulation, mRNA stability, and in the assembly of mRNP-granules, a process mediated by intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). Previous work has shown that the LSm (Like-Sm) domain of Atx2, which mediates translational activation of some target mRNAs, antagonizes mRNP-granule assembly. Here we advance these findings through a series of experiments on Drosophila and human Ataxin-2 proteins. Results of Targets of RNA-Binding Proteins Identified by Editing (TRIBE) experiments indicate that a polyA-binding protein (PABP) interacting, PAM2 motif of Ataxin-2 may be a major determinant of the mRNA content of Ataxin-2 mRNP granules. Co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation analyses show that structured interactions between Ataxin-2 and PABP additionally help determine protein components of Ataxin-2-associated mRNP granules and contribute to Ataxin-2’s association with stress granules. Finally, in vivo experiments in Drosophila indicate that while the Atx2-LSm domain protects against neurodegeneration, structured PAM2- and unstructured IDR- interactions both promote degeneration. Taken together the data: (a) lead to a proposal for how Ataxin-2 interactions are remodelled during different stages of translational control; (b) show how structured and non-structured interactions of Ataxin-2 contribute differently to the specificity and efficiency of RNP granule condensation; and (c) demonstrate that the Ataxin-2 protein contains multiple activities that may respectively prevent or promote neurodegeneration.

Project description:We analyzed Ataxin-2 interactome using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). HEK293T cell lysate was subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) with either anti-Ataxin-2 antibody or control IgG. The interaction between Ataxin-2 and the copurified proteins do not appear to be mediated by RNA, as the immunoprecipitation experiments were performed under buffer conditions that include RNase A and RNase I. The proteins purified using anti-Ataxin-2 and control IgG were separated by SDS-PAGE. CBB-stained gel was divided into three parts per lane in order to increase the detection sensitivity. Proteins extracted from the gels were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry to identify their protein content.

Project description:Gene-based therapeutic strategies to lower ataxin-2 levels are emerging for neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2). To identify additional ways of reducing ataxin-2 levels, we performed a genome-wide screen in human cells for regulators of ataxin-2 and identified RTN4R, the gene encoding the RTN4/NoGo-Receptor, as a top hit. This dataset contains the RNA-sequencing data used to support the conclusions from this study.

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 is the most common autosomal dominant inherited ataxia worldwide and caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the Ataxin-3 gene resulting in a polyQ expansion in the corresponding protein. The disease is characterized by neuropathological (aggregate formation, cell loss), phenotypical (gait instability, body weight reduction) and transcriptional changes. So far there is no mouse model available representing all the different aspects of the disease, but a representative model is highly needed to gain a better understanding of the disease pathomechanism. Here we characterized a novel Ataxin-3 knock-in mouse model, expressing an expansion of 304 CAG/CAAs either heterozygous or homozygous in the murine Ataxin-3 locus using biochemical, behavioral and transcriptomic approaches. Further, we correlated the transcriptional changes of the knock-in mice to those found in human SCA3 patients, to prove the comparability of our model. The novel Ataxin-3 knock-in mouse is characterized by the expression of polyQ-expanded Ataxin-3 in the murine protein, leading to massive aggregate formation, especially in brain regions known to be vulnerable in SCA3 patients, and impairment of Purkinje cells. Caused by these neuropathological changes, the mice demonstrated phenotypically reduction in body weight accompanied by gait and balance instability. Transcriptomic analysis of cerebellar tissue revealed downregulation of differentially expressed genes enriched in myelinating oligodendrocytes. Comparing these transcriptional changes with those found in cerebellar tissue of SCA3 patients, we discovered an overlap of differentially expressed genes pointing towards disturbances in the myelin sheaths and myelinating oligodendrocytes.

Project description:To identify protein partners of ataxin-1 in neuronal cells under control or stress conditions, we use complementary proteomics strategies of proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) and affinity purification (via GFP-trap pulldown) in Neuro-2a cells expressing epitope-tagged forms of ataxin-1[85Q]. These approaches allowed our enrichment of proximal proteins and interacting partners, respectively, with the subsequent protein identification performed by liquid chromatography-MS/MS. Background proteins, defined by identification not dependent on the polyQ-ataxin-1 protein, were additionally identified by their endogenous biotinylation (for the BioID protocol) or by their non-specific interaction with GFP only (in the GFP-trap protocol). All datasets were generated from biological replicates.
