Mitochondrial dynamics regulates iron homeostasis and nuclear genome stability [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial membrane dynamics control the shape, number, and distribution of mitochondria and regulate energy production and cell health. Defective mitochondrial dynamics in humans are related to optic atrophy, neuropathies, cardiomyopathies, or dementia. In a screen for yeast mutants with increased levels of templated insertions (TINS) in the nuclear genome, we identified mitochondrial fusion deficient mutants (mgm1, ugo1, fzo1). We found that fusion mutants activate the iron regulon, have decreased iron-sulfur clusters (ISC) and increased DNA damage, suggesting a role of iron homeostasis in preventing TINS. Consistently, a secondary screen found many iron homeostasis mutants to exhibit high TINS. We propose that iron dysregulation leading to oxidative DNA damage coupled with compromised DNA repair drives TINS. Poor growth, iron dyshomeostasis, and genome instability can be suppressed in fusion mutants by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential, suggesting a new therapeutic approach. These studies link mitochondrial dynamics to iron homeostasis deficiency and genome stability

OXPHOS deficiency activates global adaptation pathways to maintain mitochondrial membrane potential

Project description:Reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential is a hallmark of mitochondrial dysfunction. It activates adaptive responses in organisms from yeast to human to rewire metabolism, remove depolarized mitochondria, and degrade unimported precursor proteins. It remains unclear how cells maintain mitochondrial membrane potential, which is critical for maintaining iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) synthesis, an indispensable function of mitochondria. Here we show that yeast oxidative phosphorylation mutants deficient in complex III, IV, V, and mtDNA respectively, have graded reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential and proliferation rates. Extensive omics analyses of these mutants show that accompanying mitochondrial membrane potential reduction, these mutants progressively activate adaptive responses, including transcriptional downregulation of ATP synthase inhibitor Inh1 and OXPHOS subunits, Puf3-mediated upregulation of import receptor Mia40 and global mitochondrial biogenesis, Snf1/AMPK-mediated upregulation of glycolysis and repression of ribosome biogenesis, and transcriptional upregulation of cytoplasmic chaperones. These adaptations disinhibit mitochondrial ATP hydrolysis, remodel mitochondrial proteome, and optimize ATP supply to mitochondria to convergently maintain mitochondrial membrane potential, ISC biosynthesis, and cell proliferation.

Transcription profiling of yeast mutants Gal-YAH1, Gal-ATM1 and Gal-NBP35 to investigate responses to defects in cellular Fe-S protein maturation

Project description:The biogenesis of iron-sulfur proteins in eukaryotes is an essential process involving the mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly and export machineries and the cytosolic Fe/S protein assembly (CIA) apparatus. To define the integration of Fe/S protein biogenesis into cellular homeostasis, we compared the global transcriptional responses to defects in the three biogenesis systems in S. cerevisiae using DNA microarrays. Microarray analyses were carried out with regulatable yeast mutants in which representatives of each of the three biosynthetic systems could be depleted. In particular, we used the mutants Gal-YAH1, Gal-ATM1 and Gal-NBP35.

Diminished OPA1 expression and impaired mitochondrial morphology and homeostasis are prominent features of aprataxin-deficient cells

Project description:Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1 (AOA1) is an early onset progressive spinocerebellar ataxia caused by mutation in aprataxin (APTX). APTX removes 5´-AMP groups from DNA, a product of abortive ligation during DNA repair and replication. APTX deficiency has been suggested to compromise mitochondrial function; however, a detailed characterization of mitochondrial homeostasis in APTX-deficient cells is not available. Here we show that cells lacking APTX undergo mitochondrial stress and display significant changes in the expression of the mitochondrial inner membrane fusion protein OPA1, and components of the oxidative phosphorylation complexes. At the cellular level, APTX deficiency impairs mitochondrial morphology and network formation, and autophagic removal of damaged mitochondria by mitophagy. Thus, our results show that aberrant mitochondrial function is a key component of AOA1 pathology. This work corroborates the emerging evidence that impaired mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy are at the hub of an increasing number of genetically diverse neurodegenerative disorders.

Iron Responsive Element (IRE)-mediated responses to iron dyshomeostasis in Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Background: Iron trafficking and accumulation has been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. However, the role of iron dyshomeostasis in early disease stages is uncertain. Currently, gene expression changes indicative of iron dyshomeostasis are not well characterised, making it difficult to explore these in existing datasets. Results: We identified sets of genes predicted to contain Iron Responsive Elements (IREs), and used these to explore iron dyshomeostasis responses in transcript datasets involving (1) cultured cells under iron overload and deficiency treatments, (2) post-mortem brain tissues from AD and other neuropathologies, (3) 5XFAD transgenic mice modelling AD pathologies, and (4) a zebrafish knock-in model of early-onset, familial AD (fAD). IRE gene sets were sufficiently sensitive to distinguish not only between iron overload and deficiency in cultured cells, but also between AD and other pathological brain conditions. Notably, we see changes in 3’ IRE transcript abundance as amongst the earliest observable in zebrafish fAD-like brains and preceding other AD-typical pathologies such as inflammatory changes. Unexpectedly, while some 3’ IRE transcripts show significantly increased stability under iron deficiency in line with current assumptions, many such transcripts instead show decreased stability, indicating that this is not a generalizable paradigm. Conclusions: Our results reveal iron dyshomeostasis as a likely early driver of fAD and as able to distinguish AD from other brain pathologies. Our work demonstrates how differences in the stability of IRE-containing transcripts can be used to explore and compare iron dyshomeostasis responses in different species, tissues, and conditions.

Deficiency of the RNA-binding protein Cth2 extends yeast replicative lifespan by alleviating its repressive effects on mitochondrial function

Project description:Iron dyshomeostasis contributes to aging, but little information is available about the molecular mechanisms. Here, we provide evidence that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, aging is associated with altered expression of genes involved in iron homeostasis. We further demonstrate that defects in the conserved mRNA-binding protein Cth2, which controls stability and translation of mRNAs encoding iron-containing proteins, increase lifespan by alleviating its repressive effects on mitochondrial function. Mutation of the conserved cysteine residue in Cth2 that inhibits its RNA-binding activity is sufficient to confer longevity, whereas Cth2 gain-of-function shortens replicative lifespan. Consistent with its function in RNA degradation, we demonstrate that Cth2 deficiency relieves Cth2-mediated post-transcriptional repression of nuclear-encoded components of the electron transport chain. Our findings uncover a major role of the RNA-binding protein Cth2 in the regulation of lifespan and suggest that modulation of iron starvation signaling can serve as a target for potential aging interventions.

Functional Genomics Analysis of the Yeast Iron Responsive Transcription Factor Aft1 Reveals Iron-Independent Functions

Project description:The Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factor Aft1 is activated in iron-deficient cells to induce the expression of iron regulon genes, which coordinate the increase of iron uptake and remodel cellular metabolism to survive low iron conditions. In addition, Aft1 has been implicated in numerous cellular processes including cell cycle progression and chromosome stability; however it is unclear if all cellular effects of Aft1 are mediated through iron homeostasis. To further investigate the cellular processes impacted by Aft1 using genome-wide synthetic lethal and synthetic dosage lethal screens, we identified greater than 70 deletion mutants that are sensitive to perturbations in AFT1 levels. Our genetic network reveals that Aft1 impacts a diverse range of cellular processes, including the RIM101 pH pathway, cell wall stability, DNA damage, protein transport, chromosome stability and mitochondrial function. Surprisingly, only a subset of mutants identified are sensitive to iron fluctuations or display genetic interactions with mutants of iron regulon genes AFT2 or FET3. We demonstrate that Aft1 works in parallel with the RIM101 pH pathway and the role of Aft1 in cell wall structure and DNA damage repair is mediated by iron. In contrast, we show that the role of Aft1 in chromosome maintenance is independent of its iron regulatory role and that alterations in iron levels do not impact chromosome loss rates. Our study clearly demonstrates a novel iron-independent role for Aft1. For this experiment 4 samples (2 reference and 2 test samples), consisting of 3 biological reps were hybridized. Cy3 one-color labelling was used for each sample.
