Unfolded Protein Response governs an Alternative Splicing program conserved from healthy to malignant cells

ABSTRACT: The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a critical adaptive program triggered upon cellular stresses that profoundly reshapes the transcriptome and translatome. In the very first minutes of cellular stress, translation blockage, RNA decay and RNA granules formation prompt the synthesis of proteins essential to the stress response. Due to the dynamic nature of these processes and ribosome stalling, investigating translation upon stress has proven to be challenging; therefore, our understanding of these mechanisms and translatome rewiring upon stress remains limited. Here, we exploited O-Propargyl-puromycin (OPP) labelling of de novo peptides followed by LC-MS/MS to identify de novo proteins translated upon endoplasmic reticulum stress. Our approach combined to transcriptomic analyses revealed the synthesis of core splicing factor proteins and a profound reshaping of the splicing landscape upon ER stress. We identified a signature of 8 splicing events systematically occurring in eukaryotic cells exposed to ER stress. Using pharmacological, genetic, phosphoproteomic and sequencing approaches, we demonstrated that this specific ERsplice signature is driven by PERK activation and is dependent on splicing factors’ phosphorylation. Our study unveils a new role for ER stress and PERK in splicing regulation, and provide a molecular signature of ER stress through an ERsplice signature conserved from healthy to malignant tissues.

The eIF2 kinase PERK and the integrated stress response facilitate activation of ATF6 during endoplasmic reticulum stress

Project description:Disruptions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that perturb protein folding cause ER stress and elicit an unfolded protein response (UPR) that involves translational and transcriptional changes in gene expression aimed at expanding the ER processing capacity and alleviating cellular injury. Three ER stress sensors PERK, ATF6, and IRE1 implement the UPR. PERK phosphorylation of eIF2 during ER stress represses protein synthesis, which prevents further influx of ER client proteins, along with preferential translation of ATF4, a transcription activator of the integrated stress response. In this study we show that the PERK/eIF2α~P/ATF4 pathway is required not only for translational control, but also activation of ATF6 and its target genes. The PERK pathway facilitates both the synthesis of ATF6 and trafficking of ATF6 from the ER to the Golgi for intramembrane proteolysis and activation of ATF6. As a consequence, liver-specific depletion of PERK significantly reduces both the translational and transcriptional phases of the UPR, leading to reduced protein chaperone expression, disruptions of lipid metabolism, and enhanced apoptosis. These findings show that the regulatory networks of the UPR are fully integrated, and helps explain the diverse pathologies associated with loss of PERK. 14 gene expression arrays, 3 WT control arrays; 3 lsPERK control arrays; 4 WT Treated arrays; 4 lsPERK treated arrays.

Neurons shift translational control to secure proteostatic resilience during ER stress

Project description:Proteostasis is essential for survival and particularly important for highly specialized post mitotic cells like neurons. Transient reduction of protein synthesis by protein kinase R–like endoplasmic reticulum (ER) kinase (PERK)-mediated phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) is a major proteostatic survival response during ER stress. Paradoxically, neurons are remarkably tolerant to PERK dysfunction, which suggests the existence of cell type-specific mechanisms that secure proteostatic stress resilience. We employed PERK-deficient neuron and astrocyte monocultures to investigate the mechanisms underlying neuron-specific ER stress resilience in the absence of PERK.

Translocational attenuation regulated by PERK-SRP14 axis is a novel protective mechanism of UPR

Project description:Slowing down protein synthesis, increasing protein folding capability, and enhancing misfolded protein degradation are the main mechanisms of unfolded protein response (UPR) to lessen ER stress. It has also been shown that substrate-specific translocational attenuation may be another protective measure during ER stress. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism is still obscure. Through a multi-omics analysis, we found the protein SRP14, a subunit of SRP, was markedly decreased in ER-stressed cells. Given its critical function in the selective translocation of proteins, we investigated the mechanisms of SRP14 down-regulation and its role in ER stress. It was found that UPR, mainly the activation of PERK, induced SRP14 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, enforced expression of SRP14 in stressed cells augmented the substrate's translocation, aggravated ER stress, and reduced cell viability. Taken together, these results suggest the specific translocational attenuation regulated by the PERK-SRP14 axis is a protective measure to mitigate ER stress.

Control of Translation during the Unfolded Protein Response in Maize seedlings: Life without PERKs.

Project description:The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) defines a condition called ER stress that induces the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR in mammalian cells attenuates protein synthesis initiation, which prevents the piling up of misfolded proteins in the ER. Mammalian cells rely on Protein Kinase RNA-Like Endoplasmic Reticulum Kinase (PERK) phosphorylation of eIF2alpha to arrest protein synthesis, however, plants do not have a PERK homolog, so the question is whether plants control translation in response to ER stress. We compared changes in RNA levels in the transcriptome to the RNA levels protected by ribosomes and found a decline in translation efficiency, including many UPR genes, in response to ER stress. The decline in translation efficiency is due to the fact that many mRNAs are not loaded onto polyribosomes (polysomes) in proportion to their increase in total RNA, instead some of the transcripts accumulate in stress granules (SGs). The RNAs that populate SGs are not derived from the disassembly of polysomes because protein synthesis remains steady during stress. Thus, the surge in transcription of UPR genes in response to ER stress is accompanied by the formation of SGs, and the sequestration of mRNAs in SGs may serve to temporarily relieve the translation load during ER stress.

PERK-dependent gene expression programs of the acute and chronic cellular response to ER stress

Project description:The UPR (Unfolded Protein Response) is a well-orchestrated response to ER protein folding and processing overload, integrating both transcriptional and translational outputs. Its three arms in mammalian cells, the PERK translational response arm, together with the ATF6 and IRE1-mediated transcriptional arms, have been thoroughly investigated. Using ribosome footprint profiling, we performed a deep characterization of the gene expression programs involved in the acute and adaptive ER stress responses. We utilized MEFs (Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts) treated with Thapsigargin for different durations, that were wither WT or PERK knockouts, to determine the role of PERK in the acute and chronic UPR. We characterized three major gene expression programs: acute induction, chronic induction, and repression, and found that they were all PERK dependent. All three programs were recapitulated in publicly available data and in NIH3T3 cells. While PERK -/- cells did not recapitulate these responses in the acute timepoints, late timepoints showed an extremely weak induction/repression, suggesting that the chronic responses in WT cells are largely PERK dependent as well. We found that most ER target proteins were significantly repressed; including transmembrane proteins, glycoproteins, and proteins with disulfide bonds. We further demonstrate the downregulation of cyclins, while the expression of the amino acid biosynthesis pathway was enhanced.

PERK is a critical metabolic hub for immunosuppressive function in macrophages

Project description:Here we report that the Th2 cytokine IL-4 and the tumor microenvironment activated protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK) ER stress signaling cascade to promote immunosuppressive M2 activation and proliferation. Lacking PERK signaling impeded mitochondrial respiration and lipid oxidation critical for M2 macrophages. In addition, PERK activation mediated the upregulation of PSAT1 and serine biosynthesis via the downstream transcription factor ATF4.

Gene expression profiles of control or PERK siRNA-transfected brown adipocyte during the differentiation

Project description:The area of mitochondria in differentiated brown adipocytes is dramatically increased compared with that in brown pre-adipocytes. The ATP production is switched from the glycolysis pathway to the OXPHOS pathway during brown adipocyte differentiation. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is surrounded by mitochondria and the area of contact sites between mitochondria and the ER is increased. ER stress sensor PERK was phosphorylated during differentiation. To elucidate the mitochondria-ER crosstalk signaling mediated by PERK, RNA-sequencing analysis was performed using control siRNA- or PERK siRNA-transfected brown adipocytes.

Small GTP-binding protein GDP dissociation stimulator influences cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury via PERK-dependent ER stress

Project description:Cisplatin is a common anticancer drug, but its frequent nephrotoxicity limits its clinical use. Small GTP-binding protein GDP dissociation stimulator (smgGDS), a small GTPase chaperone protein, was considerably downregulated during cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CDDP-AKI), especially in renal tubular epithelial cells. SmgGDS-knockdown mice was established and found that smgGDS knockdown promoted CDDP-AKI, as demonstrated by an increase in serum creatine, blood urea nitrogen levels and the appearance of tubular patterns. RNA sequencing suggested that protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK), which bridges mitochondria-associated ER membranes, was involved in smgGDS knockdown following CDDP-AKI, and then identified that smgGDS knockdown increased phosphorylated-PERK in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we confirmed that smgGDS deficiency aggravated apoptosis and ER stress in vivo and in vitro. And the ER stress inhibitor 4-Phenylbutyric acid and the inhibition of PERK phosphorylation mitigated smgGDS deficiency-induced ER stress related apoptosis following cisplatin treatment, while the eIF2α phosphorylation inhibitor could not reverse the smgGDS deficiency accelerated cell death. Furthermore, the over-expression of smgGDS could reverse the ER stress and apoptosis caused by CDDP. Overall, smgGDS regulated PERK-dependent ER stress and apoptosis, thereby influencing renal damage. This study identified a target for diagnosing and treating cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.
