Genetic compensation for cilia defects in cep290/NPHP6 mutants by upregulation of cilia-associated small GTPases

ABSTRACT: Mutations in CEP290, a large multidomain coiled coil protein, are associated with multiple cilia-associated syndromes. Over 130 CEP290 mutations have been linked to a wide spectrum of human ciliopathies, raising the question of how mutations in a single gene cause different disease syndromes. In zebrafish the expressivity of cep290 deficiencies were linked to the type of genetic ablation: acute cep290 morpholino knockdown caused severe cilia-related phenotypes while defects in a Crispr/Cas9 genetic mutant were restricted to photoreceptor defects. Here we show that milder phenotypes in genetic mutants were associated with upregulation of genes encoding the cilia-associated small GTPases arl3, arl13b, and unc119b. Upregulation of UNC119b was also observed in urine-derived renal epithelial cells from human JBTS CEP290 patients. Ectopic expression of arl3, arl13b and unc119b in cep290 morphant zebrafish embryos rescued Kupffer's vesicle cilia and partially rescued photoreceptor outer segment defects. The results suggest that genetic compensation by upregulation of genes involved in a common subcellular process, lipidated protein trafficking to cilia, may be a conserved mechanism contributing to genotype-phenotype variations observed in CEP290 deficiencies.

Identification of TbUnc119-interacting proteins by proximity-based biotinylation

Project description:Both intraflagellar transport (IFT) and lipidated intraflagellar transport (LIFT) pathways are essential for cilia/flagella biogenesis, motility and sensory functions. In the LIFT pathway, lipidated cargoes are transported into the cilia through the coordinated actions of cargo carrier proteins such as Unc119 or PDE6δ, as well as small GTPases Arl13b and Arl3 in the cilium. Our previous studies revealed a single Arl13b ortholog in the evolutionarily divergent Trypanosoma brucei. TbArl13 catalyses two TbArl3 homologs, TbArl3A and TbArl3C, suggesting the presence of a conserved LIFT pathway in these protozoan parasites. Only a single homolog to the cargo carrier protein Unc119 was identified in T. brucei genome, but its function in lipidated protein transport has not been characterized. In this study, we exploited the proximity-based biotinylation approach to identify binding partners of TbUnc119 using an improved version of biotin ligase BioID2. The BioID2 tag was fused to either the N-terminus (3HA-BioID2-TbUnc119) or the C-terminus (TbUnc119-BioID2-HA) of TbUnc119 and expressed using a cumate-inducible expression system in the procyclic cells of T. brucei. We performed LC-MS/MS on the affinity-purified biotinylated samples followed by evaluation of emPAI score.

Smoking is Associated with Shortened Airway Cilia

Project description:Background: Whereas cilia damage and reduced cilia beat frequency have been implicated as causative of reduced mucociliary clearance in smokers, theoretically mucociliary clearance could also be affected by cilia length. Based on models of mucociliary clearance predicting cilia length must exceed the 6 -7 μm airway surface fluid depth to generate force in the mucus layer, we hypothesized cilia height may be decreased in airway epithelium of normal smokers compared to nonsmokers. Methodology/Principal Findings: Cilia length in normal nonsmokers and smokers was evaluated in aldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded endobronchial biopsies, and air-dried and hydrated samples brushed from human airway epithelium via fiberoptic bronchoscopy. In 28 endobronchial biopsies, healthy smoker cilia length was reduced 15% compared to nonsmokers (p<0.05). In 47 air-dried samples of airway epithelial cells, smoker cilia length was reduced 13% compared to nonsmokers (p<0.0001). Analysis of the length of individual, detached cilia in 17 samples, smoker cilia length was reduced 9% compared to nonsmokers (p<0.05). Finally, in 16 fully hydrated, unfixed samples, smoker cilia length was reduced 7% compared to nonsmokers (p<0.05). Conclusions/significance: Models predict that a reduction in cilia length would reduce mucociliary clearance, suggesting that smoking-associated shorter airway epithelial cilia plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of smoking-induced lung disease.

Cilia locally synthesize proteins to sustain their ultrastructure and functions

Project description:Cilia are microtubule-based hair-like organelles propelling locomotion and extracellular liquid flow or sensing environmental stimuli. As cilia are diffusion barrier-gated subcellular compartments, their protein components are thought to come from the cell body through intraflagellar transport or diffusion. Here we show that cilia locally synthesize proteins to maintain their ultrastructure and functions. Multicilia of mouse ependymal cells were abundant in ribosomal proteins, translation initiation factors, and RNA, including 18S rRNA and tubulin mRNA. The cilia actively generated nascent peptides, including those of tubulin. FMRP, an RNA-binding component of messenger ribonucleoprotein granules critical for local translation, was concentrated in ciliary central lumen. Its depletion by RNAi impaired ciliary nascent peptide production and induced multicilia degeneration. Expression of exogenous FMRP, but not an isoform tethered to mitochondria, rescued the degeneration defects. Therefore, local translation defects in cilia might contribute to the pathology of ciliopathies and other diseases such as Fragile X syndrome.

Recruitment of ETS1 to activated accessible regions promotes cilia genes transcriptional program in ciliopathy [WES]

Project description:Defects in cilia genes that is critical in cilia formation and function can cause complicated ciliopathy syndromes involving multiple organs and tissues; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of cilia gene networks in ciliopathy are largely unknown. Here, we define the genome-wide redistribution of chromatin accessibilities and extensive divergence of cilia genes expression programs happened in ciliopathy. Mechanistically, the distinct ciliopathy-activated accessible regions (CAAs) are characterized to positively regulate robust changes of flanking cilia genes, which are a key transcriptional feature of cilia required for the response to developmental signals. Moreover, the single transcriptional factors, ETS1, can be recruited to CAAs thus prominently reconstructing chromatin accessibility in ciliopathy. CAAs collapse driven by ETS1 suppression subsequently cause defective cilia formation and impaired developmental signal transduction, which eventually develops ciliopathy phenotypes of short fins and pericardium edema in larval fishes. Therefore, our results depicted a dynamic landscape of chromatin accessibility in ciliopathy, and uncover an insightful role of ETS1 in controlling global cilia genes transcriptional program by reprogramming widespread chromatin state.

BAG3 regulates cilia homeostasis of glioblastoma via its WW domain

Project description:The multidomain protein BAG3 exerts pleiotropic oncogenic functions in many tumor entities including glioblastoma (GBM). Here we compared BAG3 protein-protein interactions in either adherently cultured or stem-like cultured U251 GBM cells. In line with BAG3´s putative role in stemness, identified interactors in sphere-cultured cells included different stem cell markers (SOX2, OLIG2, NES), while interactomes of adherent BAG3-proficient cells indicated a shift towards involvement of BAG3 in regulation of cilium assembly (ACTR3, ARL3). Applying a set of BAG3 deletion constructs we could demonstrate that none of the domains except the WW domain are required for suppression of cilia formation by full-length BAG3 in U251 and U343 cells. In line with the established regulation of the Hippo pathway by this domain, we could show that the WW mutant fails to rescue YAP1 nuclear translocation. BAG3 depletion reduced activation of a YAP1/AURKA signaling pathway and induction of PLK1. Collectively, our findings point to a complex interaction network of BAG3 with several pathways regulating cilia homeostasis, involving processes related to ciliogenesis and cilium degradation.
