Transcriptional profile of MESH1-silenced RCC4 cells

ABSTRACT: Nutrient deprivation triggers stringent response in bacteria, allowing rapid reallocation of resources from proliferation toward stress survival. Critical to this process is the accumulation of (p)ppGpp regulated by the RelA/SpoT homologues. While mammalian genomes encode MESH1—the homologue of the bacterial (p)ppGpp hydrolase SpoT, neither (p)ppGpp nor its synthetase has been identified in mammalian cells. Therefore, the function of MESH1 remains a mystery. Here, we report that genetic removal of MESH1 from human cell induce an extensive transcriptional response. The changes are distinct from the canonical unfolding protein response but strongly resemble the bacterial stringent response, which induce cell proliferation arrest, implicating MESH1 in a previously uncharacterized stress response in human cells.

Expression profile of MESH1 and ATF4 silencing RCC4 cells

Project description:MESH1 encodes for Metazoan SpoT Homolog 1, which is a homologue of bacterial SpoT that mediates bacterial stringent response. In human cells, we found that MESH1-silencing induces an extensive transcriptional response in clear cell carcinoma cell line RCC4 that partially overlap with mammalian cell integrated stress response (ISR), which ATF4 up-regulation is an essential branch of the response. In this study, the goal is to elucidate the role of ATF4 up-regulation in MESH1-silencing transcriptional response.

The transcriptional response to MESH1 silencing

Project description:All organisms are exposed to various stresses, necessitating adaptive strategies for survival and homeostasis. In bacteria, the main stress-coping mechanism is stringent response triggered by the accumulation of the “alarmone” (p)ppGpp to trigger proliferation arrest and transcriptional reprogramming. Mammalian genomes encode MESH1 —the homologue of the (p)ppGpp hydrolase SpoT, with unknown function. Therefore, we used microarrays to determine the transcriptional response to MESH1 silencing.

MESH1 knockdown triggers proliferation arrest through TAZ repression

Project description:All organisms are constantly exposed to various stresses, necessitating adaptive strategies for survival. In bacteria, the main stress-coping mechanism is the stringent response triggered by the accumulation of “alarmone” (p)ppGpp to arrest proliferation and reprogram transcriptome. While mammalian genomes encode MESH1—the homolog of the (p)ppGpp hydrolase SpoT, current knowledge about its function remains limited. We found MESH1 expression tended to be higher in tumors and associated with poor patient outcomes. Consistently, MESH1 knockdown robustly inhibited proliferation, depleted dNTPs, reduced tumor sphere formation, and retarded xenograft growth. These antitumor phenotypes associated with MESH1 knockdown were accompanied by a significantly altered transcriptome, including the repressed expression of TAZ, a HIPPO coactivator, and proliferative gene. Importantly, TAZ restoration mitigated many anti-growth phenotypes of MESH1 knockdown, including proliferation arrest, reduced sphere formation, tumor growth inhibition, dNTP depletion, and transcriptional changes. Furthermore, TAZ repression was associated with the histone hypo-acetylation at TAZ regulatory loci due to the induction of epigenetic repressors HDAC5 and AHRR. Together, MESH1 knockdown in human cells altered the genome-wide transcriptional patterns and arrested proliferation that mimicked the bacterial stringent response through the epigenetic repression of TAZ expression.

TAZ overexpression partially rescued the transcriptomic reprogramming triggered by MESH1 silencing

Project description:TAZ is an important transcriptional co-activator involved in the HIPPO pathway that regulates cell growth, tumorigenesis and organ development and can play as a key mediator in other signaling pathways, such as MESH1-regulated pathways. MESH1 is the human ortholog of spoT that regulates sringent response in bacteria. MESH1 silencing inhibits cell proliferation and triggers a genome-wide transcriptional reprogramming as how spoT works in bacteria, among which TAZ is significantly down-regulated. Therefore, we aim to investigate how much TAZ contributes to the MESH1-regulated gene signature. We performed this microarray restoring TAZ level upon MESH1 silencing and measured the rescue effect. Overall, approximately 30% of the MESH1 regulated genes (up or down-regulated by siMESH1 by at least 2 folds) were rescued by the TAZ overexpression by at least 1.5 folds. Interestingly, a series of cell cycle related genes (RRM1, RRM2,CDK1 and CDC6) were rescued by TAZ restoration, suggesting that TAZ is an important mediator involved in the MESH1-regulated pathway to trigger the downstream tarnscriptomic reprogramming and cell proliferation inhibition. By understanding the mechanisms of MESH1 and its regulated pathways, we may disclose a new target for cancer therapy to regulate cancer cell growth. We used microarrays to detail the coverage of TAZ regulated genes downstream to MESH1 regulated gene signature in H1975 cells.

Regulation of the stringent response is the essential function of the conserved bacterial G protein CgtA in V. cholerae

Project description:The gene encoding the conserved bacterial G protein CgtA (Obg) is essential for viability in every organism in which it has been studied. CgtA has been reported to be involved in several diverse bacterial functions, including ribosome assembly, DNA repair, sporulation and morphological development. However, none of these functions have been identified as essential. Here we show that depletion of CgtA in Vibrio cholerae causes global changes in gene expression that are consistent with induction of a classical low nutrient stress response or “stringent” response. We show that depletion of CgtA leads to increased ppGpp levels which correlates with induction of the global stress response and cessation of growth. The enzyme RelA is responsible for synthesis of the alarmone ppGpp during the stringent response. We show that CgtA is no longer essential in a relA deletion mutant and thus conclude that the essentiality of CgtA is directly linked to its ability to affect ppGpp levels. The enzyme SpoT degrades ppGpp and here we show that SpoT is essential in a RelA+ CgtA+ background but not in a relA deletion mutant. We also confirmed that CgtA interacts with SpoT in a two-hybrid assay. We suggest that the essential function of CgtA is a repressor of the stringent response, and acts by regulating SpoT activity to maintain low ppGpp levels when bacteria are growing in a nutrient rich environment. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Activation of the stringent response by loading of tRNA-RelA complexes at the ribosomal A-site

Project description:RelA/SpoT Homologs (RSHs) are ubiquitous bacterial enzymes that synthesize and hydrolyze (p)ppGpp in response to environmental challenges. Bacteria cannot survive in hosts and produce infection without activating the (p)ppGpp-mediated stringent response, but it is not yet understood how the enzymatic activities of RSHs are controlled. Using UV crosslinking and deep sequencing, we show that Escherichia coli RelA [(p)ppGpp synthetase I] interacts with uncharged tRNA during steady-state cell growth without being activated. Amino acid starvation leads to loading of cognate tRNA·RelA complexes at vacant ribosomal A-sites. In turn, RelA is activated and synthesizes (p)ppGpp. Mutation of a single, conserved residue in RelA simultaneously prevents tRNA binding, ribosome binding, and activation of RelA, showing that all three processes are interdependent. Our results support a model in which (p)ppGpp synthesis occurs by ribosome-bound RelA interacting with the Sarcin-Ricin Loop of 23S rRNA.

Correlative proteomics identify the key roles of stress tolerance strategies in Acinetobacter baumannii in response to polymyxin and macrophages

Project description:Opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii possesses stress tolerance strategies against host innate immunity and antibiotic killing. However, how the host-pathogen-antibiotic interaction affects the overall molecular regulation of pro- and anti-pathogenic machineries remains unexplored. Here, we simultaneously investigate proteomic changes in A. baumannii and macrophages following infection in the absence or presence of the last-line polymyxins. We discover that macrophages and polymyxins exhibit complementary effects to disarm several A. baumannii stress tolerance and survival strategies, including oxidative stress resistance, copper tolerance, bacterial iron acquisition and stringent response regulation systems. Using bacterial mutants with impaired stringent response associated (p)ppGpp synthetase/hydrolase spoT we demonstrate that spot mutants exhibit significantly enhanced susceptibility to polymyxin killing and reduced in vivo survivability compared to the wild-type strain. Together, our findings highlight that improved understanding of host-pathogen-antibiotic interplay is critical for optimisation of antibiotic use in patients and discovery of new antibiotics to tackle multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

The Role of RelA of Streptococcus mutans in Global Control of Gene Expression

Project description:The production of (p)ppGpp by Streptococcus mutans UA159 is catalyzed by three gene products, RelA, RelP and RelQ. Here, we investigate the role of the RelA (Rel) homologue of S. mutans in the stringent response and in global control of gene expression. RelA of S. mutans was shown to synthesize pppGpp in vitro from GTP and ATP in the absence of added ribosomes, as well as in vivo in an E. coli relA-spoT mutant. Mupirocin (MUP) was shown to induce high levels of (p)ppGpp production in S. mutans in a relA-dependent manner, with a concommitant reduction in GTP pools. Keywords: (p)ppGpp, nutrient starvation, biofilm, virulence, stress
