A direct role for a mitochondrial targeting sequence in triggering a stress response

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial protein import is required for maintaining organellar function. Perturbations in this process are associated with various physiological and disease conditions. Several stress responses, including the mitoCPR, combat damage caused by mitochondrial protein import stress. However, it remains unknown how this defect is sensed. Here, we reveal that the conserved mitochondrial Hsp70 co-chaperone, Mge1, acts as a stress messenger in budding yeast. During mitochondrial stress, unimported Mge1 entered the nucleus and triggered the transcription of mitoCPR target genes. This was mediated by Mge1’s interaction with the transcription factor Pdr3 on DNA regulatory elements. Mge1’s mitochondrial targeting sequence was both sufficient and essential for mitoCPR induction, demonstrating that in addition to their roles in mitochondrial protein import, targeting sequences can also function as signaling molecules.

mitoCPR - a surveillance pathway that protects mitochondria in response to mitochondrial import stress [yeast]

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are essential for cell viability and rely on protein import into the organelle. Physiological perturbations and disease conditions can lead to mitochondrial import defect. We find that in budding yeast, mitochondrial import defects result in activation of a surveillance mechanism, which we termed mitoCPR. The mitoCPR is aimed at ameliorating mitochondrial import and protecting mitochondria during import stress. This is mediated by the mitoCPR effector, Cis1, which associates with mitochondria to reduce the accumulation of mitochondrial preproteins at the organelle's surface. Clearance of preproteins depends on the AAA-ATPase Msp1 and the proteasome, suggesting that Cis1 facilitates the degradation of unimported proteins that accumulate at the mitochondrial surface. We further show that mitoCPR is critical for maintaining mitochondrial functions during mitochondrial import stress and provide evidence that it is an ancient, conserved mitochondrial protection mechanism.

Accurate stress response silencing by an E3 ligase complex mutated in neurodegenerative disease

Project description:Stress response pathways detect and alleviate many adverse conditions to safeguard cell and tissue homeostasis, yet their prolonged activation induces apoptosis and disrupts organismal health. How stress responses are turned off at the right time and place remains poorly understood. Here, we report a ubiquitin-dependent mechanism to silence the cellular response to mitochondrial protein import stress. Critical to this process is the silencing factor of the integrated stress response (SIFI), a large E3 ligase complex mutated in ataxia that degrades both unimported mitochondrial precursors and stress response components. By recognizing bifunctional substrate motifs that equally encode protein localization and stability, the SIFI complex can rapidly turn off a general stress response after a specific stress has been resolved. Pharmacological stress response silencing sustains cell survival even if stress resolution failed, which underscores the importance of signal termination and provides a roadmap for treating neurodegenerative diseases caused bymitochondrial import defects.

mitoCPR - a surveillance pathway that protects mitochondria in response to mitochondrial import stress

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are essential for cell viability and rely on protein import into the organelle. Various disease and stress conditions can lead to mitochondrial import defects. We find that inhibition of mitochondrial import in budding yeast activates a surveillance mechanism, mitoCPR, that is aimed at ameliorating mitochondrial import and protecting mitochondria during import stress. mitoCPR induces expression of Cis1 which associates with the mitochondrial translocase to reduce the accumulation of mitochondrial precursor proteins at the organelle surface. Clearance of precursor proteins depends on the Cis1 interacting AAA+ ATPase Msp1 and the proteasome suggesting that Cis1 facilitates degradation of un-imported proteins at the mitochondrial surface.

Principles of cotranslational mitochondrial protein import revealed by selective ribosome profiling

Project description:The biogenesis of nearly all mitochondrial proteins begins with translation on cytosolic ribosomes. How these proteins are subsequently delivered to mitochondria remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically investigated the coupling of mitochondrial protein translation and import using selective ribosome profiling in human cells. Cotranslational targeting requires an N-terminal presequence on the nascent protein and contributes to mRNA localization at the mitochondrial surface. This pathway is predominantly used by large, multidomain and topologically complex proteins, whose import efficiency is enhanced when targeted cotranslationally. In contrast to protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), cotranslational mitochondrial import does not favor membrane proteins and initiates late during translation, specifically upon the exposure of a complex globular fold in the nascent protein. Our findings reveal a multi-layered protein sorting system that recognizes both the targeting signal and protein folding status during translation.

Inter-organellar and systemic survival responses to impaired mitochondrial matrix protein import in skeletal muscle

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are largely performed by proteins imported from cytosol. Impaired protein import in mitochondria affects the maintenance of intra-mitochondrial anabolic and energy metabolic pathways. It leads to cytosolic accumulation of mistargeted proteins and activation of cellular stress responses. To explore the communication between these mechanism in mammalian system, we targeted the co-chaperone of mitochondrial Hsp70, a GrpE Like protein 1 (Grpel1), in mice. We show that loss of protein import into mitochondrial matrix results in mitochondrial dysfunction, which triggers stress responses. The total shut down of mtHSP70 function by overall knockout of Grpel1 resulted in early embryonic lethality, and tamoxifen-induced skeletal muscle-specific knockout of Grpel1 caused rapid muscular atrophy. We show here, with transcriptomics analysis, that protein-import failure in mitochondria increased cellular proteotoxic stress due to mitochondrial dysfunction. As a control mechanism, it triggered adaptive stress responses, including unfolded protein responses and integrated stress responses. Metabolic profiling of skeletal muscle-specific knockout mice revealed amino acid and TCA cycle intermediates shuttle between serum and muscle.

Profiling of mRNA localization of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins in zebrafish.

Project description:Current evidence suggests that nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins can be locally translated at the mitochondrial surface and co-translationally or post-translationally imported into mitochondria. mRNA localization on the mitochondrial membrane, a prerequisite for localized translation, remains uncharacterized in higher eukaryotic organisms. We employed fractionation-sequencing to profile mitochondria-associated mRNAs in zebrafish larvae. Our transcriptome-wide analysis reveals the localization of mRNAs of only 12% of the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins to the mitochondrial surface, which suggests that post-translational import is the dominant mode of protein import to mitochondria. Additionally, the mRNAs which were localized to the mitochondrial membrane consisted mostly of those encoding proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics, suggesting their site-specific translation. Finally, we show that the loss of function of the MIA pathway responsible for the post-translational import of a subclass of mitochondrial proteins, triggers mitochondrial localization of mRNAs encoding proteins that are imported to mitochondria via other pathways. Thus, our study suggests that mRNA targeting and localized translation could be relevant in higher eukaryotes to combat stress conditions affecting mitochondrial biogenesis in general.

Mitochondrial protein import stress augments alpha-synuclein aggregation and neurodegeneration independent of bioenergetics

Project description:Several genetic and environmental risk factors for Parkinson’s disease have been identified that converge on mitochondria as central elements in the disease process. However, the mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Non-bioenergetic pathways of the mitochondria are increasingly appreciated, but confounding bioenergetic defects are a major barrier to experimental validation. Here, we describe a novel bioenergetics-independent mechanism by which mild mitochondrial protein import stress augments neurodegeneration. We induced this mitochondrial protein import stress in an established mouse model of Parkinson’s disease expressing the A53T mutated form of human alpha-synuclein (SNCA). Mice with import stress in addition to the A53T mutation demonstrated increased size of SNCA aggregates, co-aggregation of mitochondrial preproteins with SNCA protein, worsened neurodegeneration and changes in gene expression, as determined by whole-transcriptome RNA-sequencing analysis of the forebrain (striatum), cerebellum, spinal cord, as well as heart and skeletal muscle.
