Project description:The major heat shock protein Hsp70 has been shown to form a complex with a scaffold protein Bag3, linking it to multiple signaling pathways. Via these interactions, the Hsp70-Bag3 module functions as a proteotoxicity sensor that controls cell signaling. Here, as a tool to identify signaling pathways regulated by this complex, we utilized JG-98, an allosteric inhibitor of Hsp70 that blocks its interaction with Bag3. Gene expression profiling followed by the pathway analysis indicated that a set of signaling pathways including the unfolded protein response (UPR) was activated by JG-98. Surprisingly, only the translation initiation factor eIF2a-associated branch of the UPR was activated under these conditions, while other UPR branches mediating induction of ER chaperones were not induced, suggesting that the response was not related to ER proteotoxicity and thus to ER-associated kinase PERK1. Indeed, induction of the UPR genes under these conditions was dependent on activation of a distinct cytoplasmic eIF2a kinase, HRI. We demonstrated that the Hsp70-Bag3 complex directly interacted with HRI and regulated phosphorylation of eIF2a upon induction of cytoplasmic proteotoxicity. Therefore, we uncovered a novel signaling response, which regulates cell death upon the buildup of abnormal protein species in cytoplasm via an Hsp70-Bag3-HRI-eIF2a axis.

Project description:Iron and heme play central roles in red blood cell production. However, the mechanisms by which iron and heme levels coordinate erythropoiesis remain incompletely understood. HRI is a heme-regulated kinase that controls translation by phosphorylating eIF2a. Here, we investigate the global impact of iron, heme and HRI on protein translation in vivo in murine primary erythroblasts using ribosome profiling. By defining the underlying changes in translation during iron and HRI deficiencies, we validate known regulators of this process, including Atf4, and identify novel pathways such as co-regulation of ribosomal protein mRNA translation. Surprisingly, we found that heme and HRI pathways, but not iron-regulated pathways, mediate the major protein translational and transcriptional responses to iron deficiency in erythroblasts in vivo and thereby identify previously unappreciated regulators of erythropoiesis. Our genome-wide study uncovers the major impact of the HRI-mediated integrated stress response for the adaptation to iron deficiency anemia.

Project description:Earlier investigations have associated mammalian eIF2A with Met-tRNAi binding to the 40S subunit and its recruitment to specialized mRNAs in a GTP-independent manner. Additionally, eIF2A has been implicated in non-AUG start codon initiation, particularly under conditions where eIF2 function is attenuated by phosphorylation of its α-subunit during stress or starvation. However, the precise role of eIF2A in vivo translation remains unclear. Moreover, it's uncertain if the conserved ortholog in budding yeast can functionally substitute for eIF2 during stress. To address these questions, we conducted ribosome profiling on a yeast deletion mutant lacking eIF2A, alongside isogenic wild-type (WT) cells, both in the presence or absence of eIF2α phosphorylation induced by amino acid starvation.

Project description:Translation initiation is a complex and highly regulated process that represents an important mechanism, controlling gene expression. eIF2A was proposed as an alternative initiation factor, however, its role and biological targets remain to be discovered. To further gain insight into the function of eIF2A in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we identified mRNAs associated with the eIF2A complex and showed that 24% of the most enriched mRNAs encode proteins related to cell wall biogenesis and maintenance. In agreement with this result, we showed that an eIF2A deletion sensitized cells to cell wall damage induced by calcofluor white. eIF2A overexpression led to a growth defect, correlated with decreased synthesis of several cell wall proteins. In contrast, no changes were observed in the transcriptome, suggesting that eIF2A controls the expression of cell wall-related proteins at a translational level. The biochemical characterization of the eIF2A complex revealed that it strongly interacts with the RNA binding protein, Ssd1, which is a negative translational regulator, controlling the expression of cell wall-related genes. Interestingly, eIF2A and Ssd1 bind several common mRNA targets and we found that the binding of eIF2A to some targets was mediated by Ssd1. Surprisingly, we further showed that eIF2A is physically and functionally associated with the exonuclease Xrn1 and other mRNA degradation factors, suggesting an additional level of regulation. Altogether, our results highlight new aspects of this complex and redundant fine-tuned regulation of proteins expression related to the cell wall, a structure required to maintain cell shape and rigidity, providing protection against harmful environmental stress.

Project description:Cellular signaling controls translation through cis regulatory elements found in mRNAs. Gcn2 is the master regulator of translation during nutrient limitation in normal and cancer cells. Activated Gcn2 phosphorylates eIF2a, thereby repressing general translation while activating translation of specific mRNAs with upstream ORFs (uORFs) in its leader regions. Here we performed genome-wide measurement of mRNA translation during histidine starvation in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Polysomal microarray hybridization experiments identified a group of 1779 genes whose translation is up-regulated in Gcn2-dependent manner. We find that translation is reprogrammed to enhance organellar synthesis and transcription and repress ribosome synthesis. The 1779 genes included gcn5 and hri2 shown to promote growth under histidine starvation. They encode histone acetyl transferase and heme-binding eIF2a kinase activated by oxidative stress, and their 5’-leader contains 3 or 4 uORFs, respectively. Our reporter studies show that uORFs in gcn5 and hri2 operate similarly to those found in S. cerevisiae GCN4, the founding case for uORF-dependent regulation. Moreover, motif analysis identified 5’-UGA(C/G)GG-3’ as a motif promoting translation during starvation. Using hrd1 5’UTR with such a motif, we demonstrated its requirement in Gcn2-dependent translational control. To our knowledge, this is the first nucleotide motif found to be responsible for translational control by Gcn2. We propose that Gcn2 mediates translational control of more specific mRNAs than previously anticipated

Project description:Increasing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) provides clinical benefit in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). We recently identified heme-regulated inhibitor (HRI, EIF2AK1) as a novel HbF regulator. Since HRI is an erythroid-specific protein kinase it presents a potential target for pharmacologic intervention. We find that maximal HbF induction requires >80-85% HRI depletion. As it remains unclear whether this degree of HRI inhibition can be achieved pharmacologically, we explored whether HRI knockdown can be combined with pharmacologic HbF inducers to achieve greater HbF production and minimize potential adverse effects associated with treatments. Strongly cooperative HbF induction was observed when HRI depletion was combined with exposure to pomalidomide or the EHMT1/2 inhibitor UNC0638, but not hydroxyurea. Mechanistically, reduction in the levels of the HbF repressor BCL11A reflected the cooperativity of HRI loss and pomalidomide treatment, whereas UNC0638 did not modulate BCL11A levels. In conjunction with HRI loss, pomalidomide maintained its HbF inducing activity at 10-fold lower concentrations, at which condition there were minimal observed detrimental effects on erythroid cell maturation and viability as well as fewer alterations in the erythroid transcriptome. In sum, this study provides a foundation for the exploration of combining future small molecule HRI inhibitors with additional pharmacologic HbF inducers to maximize HbF production and preserve erythroid cell functionality for the treatment of SCD and other hemoglobinopathies.
