The Tox gene encodes two proteins with distinct and shared roles in gene regulation

ABSTRACT: Here we report that the murine Tox gene encodes two proteins from a single mRNA and investigate the mechanism of production and function of these proteoforms. The annotated TOX coding sequence is predicted to produce a 526 amino acid protein (TOXFL). However, western blots reveal two bands. We found that the lower band consists of an N-terminally truncated variant of TOX (TOXDN), while the slower migrating band is TOXFL. The TOXDN proteoform is alternatively translated via leaky ribosomal scanning from an evolutionarily conserved translation initiation site downstream of the annotated translation initiation site. When expressed exogenously from a cDNA in murine CD8 T cells or HEK cells, or endogenously from the murine Tox locus, both forms are translated, although the ratio of TOXFL: TOXDN significantly varies with cellular context. This includes regulation of proteoform production during development of murine CD4 T cells in the thymus, where the positive selection of CD4+8+ cells and subsequent differentiation to CD4+8lo transitional and CD4SP cell subsets is associated with both an increase in total TOX protein and increased TOXDN production relative to TOXFL. Finally, we found that sole expression of TOXFL had a greater effect on gene regulation during chronic stimulation of murine CD8 T cells in culture mimicking exhaustion, than did TOXDN, including uniquely regulated cell cycle and other genes.

Positional proteomics reveals differences in N-terminal proteoform stability

Project description:To understand the impact of alternative translation initiation on a proteome, we performed the first study on protein turnover using positional proteomics and ribosome profiling to distinguish between N-terminal proteoforms of individual genes. Overall, we monitored the stability of 1,941 human N-terminal proteoforms, including 147 N-terminal proteoform pairs that originate from alternative translation initiation, alternative splicing or incomplete processing of the initiator methionine.

Oncogenic role of TOX in CTCL

Project description:TOX is a nuclear factor essential for the development of CD4+ T cells in the thymus. TOX is found to be aberrantly up-regulated in the skin biopsies and in the blood CD4+ T cells of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. The goal of this study is to identify potential transcriptional targets of TOX in CTCL by comparison between TOX shRNA transfected CTCL cells (Hut78 and HH) and control CTCL cells. Two color experiment. Lentivirus transduced control vector vs. TOX shRNA vectors on Hut78 and HH cell lines. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 shRNA tansduced replicates for each cell line.

TOX induces T cell IL-10 production in a BATF-dependent manner

Project description:TOX is a member of the HMG-Box transcription factors and plays important roles in thymic T cell development. Outside of the thymus, however, TOX is also highly expressed by CD8 and CD4 T cells in various states of activation and in settings of cancer and autoimmune disease. In CD4 T cells, TOX has been primarily studied in T follicular helper (TFH) cells where it , along with TOX2 promotes TFH differentiation by regulating key TFH-associated genes and suppressing CD4 cytotoxic T cell differentiation. However, the role of TOX in other Th cell subtypes is less clear. In our study, we show that TOX is expressed in several physiologically-activated Th subtypes and its ectopic expression modestly enhances the in vitro differentiation of Th2 and Treg cells. TOX overexpression also induced the expression of a small number of genes in unpolarized Th cells involved in cell activation (Pdcd1, PD-1), cellular trafficking (Ccl3, Ccl4, Xcl1) and in suppressing inflammation (Il10) that was conserved in multiple Th subtypes. We additionally show that TOX co-occupies these genes with the transcription factor BATF and that TOX-induced expression of IL-10, but not PD-1, is BATF-dependent. Based on these data, we propose a model where TOX regulates Th cell chemotactic genes involved in facilitating dendritic cell-T cell interactions and aids in the resolution or prevention of inflammation through the production of IL-10.

Revealing Corynebacterium glutamicum proteoforms through top-down proteomics

Project description:Corynebacterium glutamicum is a bacterium widely employed in the industrial production of amino acids as well as a broad range of other biotechnological products. The present study describes the characterization of C. glutamicum proteoforms, and their post-translational modifications (PTMs) employing top-down proteomics. Despite previous evidence of PTMs having roles in the regulation of C. glutamicum metabolism, this is the first top-down proteome analysis of this organism. We identified 1125 proteoforms from 273 proteins, with 60 % of proteins presenting at least one mass shift, suggesting the presence of PTMs, including several acetylated, oxidized and formylated proteoforms. Furthermore, proteins relevant to amino acid production, protein secretion, and oxidative stress were identified with mass shifts suggesting the presence of uncharacterized PTMs and proteoforms that may affect biotechnologically relevant processes in this industrial workhorse. For instance, the membrane proteins mepB and SecG were identified as a cleaved and a formylated proteoform, respectively. While in the central metabolism, OdhI was identified as two proteoforms with potential biological relevance: a cleaved proteoform and a proteoform with PTMs corresponding to a 70 Da mass shift.

Innate lymphoid cell development requires TOX-dependent generation of a common ILC progenitor

Project description:Subtypes of innate lymphoid cells (ILC), defined by effector function and transcription factor expression, have recently been identified. In the adult, ILC derive from common lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow, although transcriptional regulation of the developmental pathways involved remains poorly defined. TOX is required for development of lymphoid tissue inducer cells, a type of ILC3 required for lymph node organogenesis, and NK cells, a type of ILC1. We show here that production of multiple ILC lineages requires TOX, as a result of TOX-dependent development of common ILC progenitors. Comparative transcriptome analysis demonstrated failure to induce various aspects of the ILC gene program in the absence of TOX, implicating this nuclear factor as a key early determinant of ILC lineage specification.

RNA sequencing of T cells in the genetically encoded mouse model of T cell anergy (W131AOTII)

Project description:We found that gene signatures characteristic of unresponsive cells were strongly enriched in peripheral W131AOTII CD4 T cells but not in CD4 single positive (CD4SP) thymocytes. Furthermore, loss of Cbl-b in W131AOTII mice significantly altered gene expression profile associated with improved T cell responsiveness.

AP-MS-based interactome analysis of three pairs of N-terminal proteoforms and their canonical protein

Project description:N-terminal proteoforms stem from the same gene but differ at their N-terminus, and most of these are found to be truncated, though some are N-terminally extended caused by ribosomes starting translation from codons in the annotated 5’UTR, and/or carry modified N-termini different from those of the canonical protein. Biological functions of N-terminal proteoforms are emerging, however, it remains unknown to what extend N-terminal proteoforms further expand the functional complexity. To address this in a more global manner, we mapped the interactomes of several pairs of N-terminal proteoforms and their canonical counterparts. For this, we first generated an in-depth catalogue of N-terminal proteoforms in the cytosol of HEK293T cells. From which 20 pairs of canonical protein and N-terminal proteoform(s) were selected. Protein-protein interaction profiling was done with Virotrap. Virotrap was selected as this methods avoids lysis before the isolation of the complexes and allows the detection of weak and cytosolic proteins as well. Our analysis of these pairs revealed that the overlap of the interactomes for both proteoforms is in general high, showing their functional relation. However, for all pairs tested we do report differences as well. We show that N-terminal proteoforms can be engaged in new/different interactions and as well can lose several interactions compared to the canonical protein. We used AP-MS to validate differences in the interaction networks reported for three of these 20 pairs of N-terminal proteoform and canonical counterpart.
