Identification of organelle-specific autophagy regulators from tandem CRISPR screens

ABSTRACT: Autophagy is a conserved degradative process that promotes cellular homeostasis under stress conditions. Under nutrient starvation autophagy is largely non-selective, promoting indiscriminate breakdown of cytosolic components. Conversely, selective autophagy is responsible for the specific turnover of damaged organelles. We hypothesized that selective autophagy may be regulated by distinct upstream signaling from starvation induced autophagy to promote organelle turn-over. To address this question, we conducted kinome-wide CRISPR screens using the DsRed-IRES-GFP-p62 reporter line to identify distinct signaling pathways responsible for the regulation of basal autophagy, starvation-induced autophagy, and two types of selective autophagy, ER-phagy and pexophagy. The Brunello kinome library was designed to enhance on-target activity while minimizing off-target effects, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of our screens. These parallel screens identified established and novel autophagy shared regulators under these conditions, as well as kinases specifically required for ER-phagy or pexophagy. More specifically, CDK11A and NME3 were further characterized to be selective ER-phagy regulators. Meanwhile, PAN3 and CDC42BPG were identified as activator or inhibitor of pexophagy, respectively. Collectively, these datasets provide the first comparative description of the kinase signaling specificity, separating regulation of selective autophagy and bulk autophagy.

An mTORC1-CK2 axis controls starvation induced ER-phagy via FAM134C

Project description:The degradation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via selective autophagy is driven by the ER-phagy receptors that facilitate the incorporation of ER-fragments into nascent autophagosomes. How these receptors are regulated, in response to ER-phagy-inducing stimuluses, is largely unknown. Here we propose that starvation, as well as mTOR inhibition, triggers ER-phagy primarily through the activation of the ER-phagy receptor FAM134C. In physiological, nutrient reach, conditions FAM134C is phosphorylated by the Casein kinase 2 (CK2) protein at specific residues negatively affecting FAM134C interaction with the LC3 proteins, thereby preventing ER-phagy. Pharmacological or starvation-induced mTORC1 inhibition limits phosphorylation of FAM134C by CK2, hence promoting FAM134C activation and ER-phagy. Moreover, inhibition of CK2 or the expression of a phospho-mutant FAM134C protein is sufficient to stimulate ER-phagy. Conversely, starvation induced ER-phagy is inhibited in cells and mice that lack FAM134C or expressing a phospho-mimetic FAM134C protein. Overall, these data describe a new mechanism regulating ER-phagy and provides an example of cargo selectivity mechanism during starvation induced autophagy.

BAF1 and Brassinosteroid related mutant in Arabidopsis

Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) regulate plant growth, development and stress responses by activating the core transcription factor BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR1 (BES1). The E3 Ubiquitin ligase(s) that modify BES1 for autophagy-mediated degradation remain to be fully defined. In this study, we identified an F-box family E3 ubiquitin ligase termed BES1-ASSOCIATED F-BOX1 (BAF1). BAF1 interacts with and ubiquitinates BES1. Accordingly, BES1 stability and protein levels were reduced in BAF1 overexpression plants but increased in a baf1 loss-of-function mutant and in BAF1-DF (BAF1 with F-box deleted, dominant-negative form) overexpression lines. Selective autophagy of BES1, but not bulk autophagy, was significantly compromised in the baf1 mutant under sucrose starvation. BES1 degradation mediated by BAF1 could be blocked through autophagy but not proteasome inhibitors, suggesting that BAF1 mediates BES1 degradation largely through autophagy. baf1 and BAF1-DF overexpression plants had increased BR-regulated growth but were sensitive to long-term sucrose starvation, while BAF1 overexpression plants had decreased BR-regulated growth but were highly tolerant of sucrose starvation. Our results not only established BAF1 as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets BES1 for degradation through selective autophagy pathway, but also revealed a mechanism for plants to reduce growth during sucrose starvation by targeting this central growth regulator.

FAM134B oligomerization drives ER membrane scission for ER-phagy

Project description:ER degradation by selective autophagy (ER-phagy) is crucial for ER homeostasis. However, it remains unclear how ER scission is regulated for subsequent autophagosomal sequestration and lysosomal degradation. Here, we show that oligomer formation of FAM134B (also referred to as reticulophagy regulator 1 or RETREG1) through its Reticulon domain was required for membrane fragmentation in vitro and ER-phagy in vivo. Under ER stress conditions, activated CAMK2B phosphorylated the Reticulon domain of FAM134B, which enhanced FAM134B oligomerization and activity in membrane fragmentation to accommodate high demand of ER-phagy. Unexpectedly, FAM134BG216R, a variant derived from a type II HSAN patient, exhibited gain-of-function defects, such as hyperactive self-association and membrane scission, which resulted in excessive ER-phagy and sensory neuron death. Therefore, this study revealed a mechanism of ER membrane fragmentation in ER-phagy, along with a signaling pathway in regulating ER turnover, and suggested a potential implication of excessive selective autophagy in human diseases.

IFRD1 promotes tumor cells “low-cost” survival under glutamine starvation via inhibiting histone H1.0 nucleophagy

Project description:Glutamine addiction represents a metabolic vulnerability of cancer cells although effective therapeutic targeting of the pathways involved remains to be realized. Here, we disclose the critical role of IFRD1 (interferon-related developmental regulator 1) in the adaptive survival of hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HCC) during glutamine starvation. The induction and translocation of IFRD1 to the endoplasmic reticulum inhibits autophagy by promoting proteasomal degradation of the key autophagy regulator ATG14 in a TRIM21-dependent manner. On the contrary, enforced IFRD1 loss increases autophagy flux leading to cell death. This effect is largely realized through the autophagy-dependent degradation of histone H1.0 causing globally enhanced chromatin accessibility associated with unchecked increases in ribosome and protein biosynthesis . This in turn leads to metabolic exhaustion and death under glutamine starvation. Practically, IFRD1 depletion in preclinical HCC models potentiates glutamine limiting strategies including synergizing with the glutaminase-1 selective inhibitor CB-839. Thus, IFRD1 supports the adaptive survival of cancer cells under glutamine starvation, with potential as a therapeutic target in anti-cancer applications.

Nonuple atg8 mutant provides genetic evidence for functional specialization of ATG8 isoforms in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Autophagy is a vital cellular process that maintains organismal health by recycling damaged or superfluous cellular components within autophagosomes. This process is mediated by conserved ATG proteins, which coordinate autophagosome biogenesis and selective cargo degradation. Among these, the ubiquitin-like ATG8 protein plays a central role by linking cargo to the growing autophagosomes through interactions with selective autophagy receptors. Unlike most ATG proteins, which are represented by single or few isoforms, the ATG8 gene family is expanded in vascular plants, yet the extent of functional specialization within ATG8 isoforms remains largely unknown. Using transcriptional and translational reporters in Arabidopsis thaliana, we revealed that ATG8 isoforms are differentially expressed across tissues and form distinct autophagosomes within the same cell. To explore ATG8 specialization, we generated the nonuple Δatg8mutant lacking all nine ATG8 isoforms. The mutant displayed hypersensitivity to carbon and nitrogen starvation, coupled with defects in bulk and selective autophagy as shown by biochemical and ultrastructural analyses. Complementation experiments demonstrated that ATG8A could rescue both carbon and nitrogen starvation phenotypes, whereas ATG8H could only complement carbon starvation. Proximity labeling proteomics further identified isoform-specific interactors under nitrogen starvation, underscoring their functional divergence. These findings provide genetic evidence for the specialization of ATG8 isoforms in plants and lay a foundation for investigating their roles in diverse cell types and stress conditions.

MiT/TFE factors control ER-phagy via transcriptional regulation of FAM134B

Project description:Lysosomal degradation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via autophagy (ER-phagy) is emerging as a critical regulator of ER homeostasis and function1. The selective incorporation of ER fragments into nascent autophagosomes is facilitated by ER resident proteins, ER-phagy receptors, that bind the autophagosomal LC3 protein via the cytosolic LC3 interacting domain (LIR) (REF). However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate ER-phagy in response to cellular needs are still largely unknown. We found that the MiT/TFE transcription factors - master regulators of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy2- control ER-phagy by inducing the expression of the ER-phagy receptor FAM134B. This pathway is robustly activated in chondrocytes by FGF signaling, a critical regulator of chondrocyte differentiation3. FGF triggers TFEB/TFE3-mediated ER-phagy through JNK-dependent proteasomal degradation of the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) protein and inhibition of the insulin signaling. FAM134B knock-down impairs cartilage growth and mineralization in medaka fish, suggesting a physiological role for this process during skeletal growth. Notably, we showed that the TFEB/TFE3-FAM134B axis promotes ER-phagy activation upon prolonged starvation. Thus, this study identifies MiT/TFE-factors as key transcriptional activators of ER-phagy in response to both metabolic and developmental cues.

A metabolite sensor subunit of the Atg1/ULK complex regulates selective autophagy; whole cell proteome

Project description:Cells convert complex metabolic information into stress-adapted autophagy responses. Canonically, multilayered protein kinase networks converge on the conserved Atg1/ULK kinase complex (AKC) to induce non-selective and selective forms of autophagy in response to metabolic changes. Here, we show that, upon phosphate starvation, the metabolite sensor Pho81 interacts with the adaptor subunit Atg11 at the AKC via an Atg11/FIP200 interaction motif to modulate pexophagy by virtue of its conserved phospho-metabolite sensing SPX domain. Notably, core AKC components Atg13 and Atg17 are dispensable for phosphate starvation-induced autophagy revealing significant compositional and functional plasticity of the AKC. Our data indicate that, instead of functioning as a selective autophagy receptor, Pho81 compensates for partially inactive Atg13 by promoting Atg11-phosphorylation by Atg1 critical for pexophagy during phosphate starvation. Our work shows Atg11/FIP200 adaptor subunits not only bind selective autophagy receptors but also modulator subunits that convey metabolic information directly to the AKC for autophagy regulation.

Bulk RNA sequencing of mouse embryonic fibroblasts in autophagy processes

Project description:Autophagy, a catabolic process to remove unnecessary or dysfunctional cells, is triggered by various signals including nutrient starvation. Depending on the type of the nutrient deficiency, diverse sensing mechanisms and pathways are used for autophagy, suggesting subsequent nutrient dependent transcriptional regulation. Still, however, our knowledge about nutrient specific transcriptional regulation during autophagy is limited. To understand nutrient type dependent transcriptional mechanisms during autophagy, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) for the mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) before and after applying glucose- (GS) as well as amino acid starvation (AAS). Trajectory analysis using scRNAseq identified sequential induction of potential transcriptional regulators for each deficiency condition. Gene regulatory rules inferred using TENET newly identified CCAAT/enhancer binding protein γ (C/EBPγ) regulates autophagy processes specifically to AAS condition. Strikingly, knockdown of C/EBPγ attenuated the autophagic process only in the AAS condition. Cell biological and biochemical studies validated that C/EBPγ plays a switching role for ATF4 to activate autophagy genes under AAS, but not under GS. Together, our data identified C/EBPγ as a previously unidentified key regulator under amino acid starvation-induced autophagy.
