A transcriptionally active lipid vesicle encloses the injected Chimalliviridae genome in early infection

ABSTRACT: Many eukaryotic viruses require membrane-bound compartments for replication, but no such organelles are known to be formed by prokaryotic viruses1–3. Bacteriophages of the Chimalliviridae family sequester their genomes within a phage-generated organelle, the phage nucleus, which is enclosed by a lattice of the viral protein ChmA4–10. Previously, we observed lipid membrane-bound vesicles in cells infected by Chimalliviridae, but due to the paucity of genetics tools for these viruses it was unknown if these vesicles represented unproductive, abortive infections or a bona fide stage in the phage life cycle. Using the recently-developed dRfxCas13d-based knockdown system CRISPRi-ART11 in combination with fluorescence microscopy and cryo-electron tomography, we show that inhibiting phage nucleus formation arrests infections at an early stage in which the injected phage genome is enclosed within a membrane-bound early phage infection (EPI) vesicle. We demonstrate that early phage genes are transcribed by the virion-associated RNA polymerase from the genome within the compartment, making the EPI vesicle the first known example of a lipid membrane-bound organelle that separates transcription from translation in prokaryotes. Further, we show that the phage nucleus is essential for the phage life cycle, with genome replication only beginning after the injected DNA is transferred from the EPI vesicle to the newly assembled phage nucleus. Our results show that Chimalliviridae require two sophisticated subcellular compartments of distinct compositions and functions that facilitate successive stages of the viral life cycle.

Characterization of a lipid-based jumbo phage compartment as a hub for early phage infection

Project description:Viral genomes are most vulnerable to cellular defenses at the start of the infection. A family of jumbo phages related to phage ΦKZ, which infects Pseudomonas aeruginosa, assembles a protein-based phage nucleus to protect replicating phage DNA, but how it is protected prior to phage nucleus assembly is unclear. We find that host proteins related to membrane and lipid biology interact with injected phage protein, clustering in an early phage infection (EPI) vesicle. The injected virion RNA polymerase (vRNAP) executes early gene expression until phage genome separation from the vRNAP and the EPI vesicle, moving into the nascent proteinaceous phage nucleus. Enzymes involved in DNA replication and CRISPR/restriction immune nucleases are excluded by the EPI vesicle. We propose that the EPI vesicle is rapidly constructed with injected phage proteins, phage DNA, host lipids, and host membrane proteins to enable genome protection, early transcription, localized translation, and to ensure faithful genome transfer to the proteinaceous nucleus.

Dynamin-like proteins are essential for vesicle biogenesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) secretes pathogenicity factors and immunologically active molecules via membrane vesicles. However, nothing is known about the mechanisms involved in mycobacterial vesicle biogenesis. This study investigates molecular determinants of membrane vesicle production in Mtb by analyzing Mtb cells under conditions of high vesicle production: iron limitation and VirR restriction. Ultrastructural analysis showed extensive cell envelope restructuring in association with vesicle release that correlated with downregulation of cell surface lipid biosynthesis and peptidoglycan alterations. Comparative transcriptomics showed common upregulation of the iniBAC operon in association with high vesicle production in Mtb cells. Vesicle production analysis demonstrated that the dynamin-like proteins (DLPs) encoded by this operon, IniA and IniC, are necessary for release of EV by Mtb in culture and in infected macrophages. Isoniazid, a first-line antibiotic, used in tuberculosis treatment, was found to stimulate vesicle release in a DLP-dependent manner. Our results provide a new understanding of the function of mycobacterial DLPs and mechanistic insights into vesicle biogenesis. The findings will enable further understanding of the relevance of Mtb-derived extracellular vesicles in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and may open new avenues for therapeutic research.

Prochlorococcus extracellular vesicles: Molecular composition and adsorption to diverse microbial cells

Project description:Extracellular vesicles are small (~50–200 nm diameter) membrane-bound structures released by cells from all domains of life. While extremely abundant in the oceans, our understanding of their functions, both for cells and the emergent ecosystem, is in its infancy. To advance this understanding, we analyzed the lipid, metabolite, and protein content of vesicles produced by two strains of the most abundant phytoplankton cell in the ocean, the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. We show that Prochlorococcus exports an enormous array of cellular compounds into their surroundings via extracellular vesicles. The vesicles produced by the two different strains contained some materials in common, but also displayed numerous strain-specific differences, reflecting functional complexity within natural vesicle populations. Prochlorococcus vesicles contain active enzymes, indicating that they can mediate biogeochemically relevant extracellular reactions in the wild. Interaction assays demonstrate that vesicles from Prochlorococcus and multiple genera of heterotrophic bacteria can associate with other marine microbes, including Pelagibacter, the most abundant heterotrophic group in the oceans. Our observations suggest that vesicles may play diverse functional roles in the oceans, including but not limited to mediating energy and nutrient transfers, catalyzing extracellular biochemical reactions, and mitigating toxicity of reactive oxygen species. These findings further indicate that a portion of the ‘dissolved’ compounds in the oceans are not truly dissolved, but are instead packaged within locally structured, colloidal vesicles.

The indispensable role of autophagy in lens morphogenesis

Project description:FYVE and coiled-coil domain containing 1 (FYCO1) is expressed ubiquitously and is required for microtubule-dependent, plus-end-directed transport of autophagic vesicles. We previously reported loss of function mutations in FYCO1 responsible for cataractogenesis with no other ocular and/or extra-ocular phenotype. Here, we show that Fyco1-/- lenses recapitulated the cataract phenotype and exhibited diminished autophagy, consistent with a critical role of Fyco1 and autophagy in lens morphogenesis. Transcriptome coupled with proteome and metabolome profiling identified many differentially expressed, autophagy-related, genes, proteins, and lipids, respectively in Fyco1-/- lenses. Flow cytometry of FYCO1 (c.2206C>T) knock-in (KI) human lens epithelial (HLE) cell line confirmed reduced amounts of membrane-bound LC3B-II and autophagic vesicles resulting from the loss of FYCO1. Transmission electron microscopy showed persistent organelle mass in Fyco1-/-lenses and FYCO1 KI lens-like organoid structures, which were further confirmed through western blot analysis. In summary, our data show that the absence of FYCO1 causes diminished autophagy, delayed organelle degradation, and cataractogenesis. These data support the model of FYCO1 supplementing basal autophagy in the lens to meet the physiological necessity of high autophagy levels required during lens fiber cell differentiation and lack thereof results in delayed organelle removal.

Proteome Composition of Lysosomes and Autophagosomes after Proteasome Inhibition

Project description:Lysosomes are a major site of intracellular acidic hydrolase-mediated proteolysis and cellular degradation in a membrane-enclosed organelle. Alternatively, soluble, ubiquitin-bound proteins are degraded via the proteasome, a megadalton protein complex within the cytoplasm. The interplay between both degradation pathways has been of increasing interest in recent years. To determine the effects of proteasome inhibition on the lysosomal compartment, we investigated enriched lysosomal fractions, autophagosomal fractions and immunoprecipitated proteasomes from HEK293 cells after proteasome inibition by MG132 or bortezomib in comparison to the respective fractions from control cells.

Characterization and Small RNA Content of Extracellular Vesicles in Follicular Fluid of Developing Bovine Antral Follicles

Project description:Exosomes and microvesicles (i.e., extracellular vesicles; EVs) have been identified within ovarian follicular fluid, and recent evidence suggests that EVs are able to elicit profound effects on ovarian cell function. While existence of miRNA within EVs has been reported, it remains unknown if EV size and concentration as well as their cargos (i.e., proteins and RNA) change during antral follicle growth. Extracellular vesicles isolated from follicular fluid of small, medium and large bovine follicles were similar in size, while concentration of EVs decreased progressively as follicle size increased. Electron microscopy indicated a highly purified population of the lipid bilayer enclosed vesicles that were enriched in exosome biomarkers including CD81 and Alix. Small RNA sequencing identified a large number of known and novel miRNAs that changed in the EVs of different size follicles. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) indicated that miRNA abundant in small follicle EV preparations were associated with cell proliferation pathways, while those miRNA abundant in large follicle preparations were related to inflammatory response pathways. These studies are the first to demonstrate that EVs change in their levels and makeup during antral follicle development and point to the potential for a unique vesicle-mediated cell-to-cell communication network within the ovarian follicle.

Spatial proteomics defines the content of trafficking vesicles captured by golgin tethers

Project description:Intracellular traffic between compartments of the secretory and endocytic pathways is mediated by vesicle-based carriers. The proteomes of carriers destined for many organelles are ill-defined because the vesicular intermediates are transient, low-abundance and difficult to purify. Here, we combine vesicle relocalisation with organelle proteomics and Bayesian analysis to define the content of different endosome-derived vesicles destined for the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The golgin coiled-coil proteins golgin-97 and GCC88, shown previously to capture endosome-derived vesicles at the TGN, were individually relocalised to mitochondria and the content of the subsequently re-routed vesicles was determined by organelle proteomics. Our findings reveal 45 integral and 51 peripheral membrane proteins re-routed by golgin-97, evidence for a distinct class of vesicles shared by golgin-97 and GCC88, and various cargoes specific to individual golgins. These results illustrate a general strategy for analysing intracellular sub-proteomes by combining acute cellular re-wiring with high-resolution spatial proteomics

The transcriptomic profile of human microvascular endothelial cells after exposure to preeclamptic or normotensive third trimester trophoblast debris

Project description:The human placenta is covered by a single multinucleated fetal cell, the syncytiotrophoblast, which is bathed in maternal blood. During all pregnancies, membrane enclosed extracellular vesicles derived from the syncytiotrophoblast are extruded into the maternal blood.The large size of these extracellular vesicles (diameter larger than 10 µm) is referred to as trophoblast debris in this study. We have shown in the past that trophoblast debris from first trimester can contribute to maternal cardiovascular physiological adaptations. This study aimed to characterise the transcriptional changes that occur in human vascular endothelial cells following exposure to preeclmaptic and normotensive trophoblast debris. Primeview human gene expression arrays were used to probe transcriptomic changes in human microvascular endothelial cells after exposure to preeclmaptic or normotensive trophoblast debris for 21 hours
