Distinct Ire1-driven transcriptional responses control morphogenesis in Candida albicans

ABSTRACT: The ability of pathogenic yeast Candida albicans to cause infections in humans depends on morphogenesis, the ability to switch from a spherical yeast to a filamentous hyphal form. Morphogenesis in C. albicans requires Ire1, a transmembrane protein responsible for binding misfolded proteins and initiating the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). The UPR is a signaling pathway activated in response to the accumulation of misfolded secretory proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Ire1 activation in the ER membrane leads to splicing of cytosolic HAC1 mRNA and subsequent UPR target gene upregulation by transcription factor Hac1. In C. albicans, the specific UPR target genes required for morphogenesis are unknown. We utilized RNA-Sequencing to assess the transcriptome of UPR-deficient cells in misfolded protein- and morphogenesis-inducing conditions. Surprisingly, we found little overlap between the datasets, suggesting that a specific Ire1 transcriptional signature drives filamentous growth. Moreover, Hac1 is only partially required for morphogenesis, suggesting a role of Hac1-independent Ire1 function in filamentation. We propose that the cell wall stress response and regulated Ire1-dependent decay (RIDD) are potential Hac1-independent mechanisms connecting Ire1 to morphogenesis in C. albicans.

Regulated Ire1-dependent mRNA decay requires no-go mRNA degradation to maintain endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis in S. pombe

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR) continually monitors the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In S. pombe, Ire1, an ER membrane-resident kinase/endoribonuclease, utilizes a mechanism of selective degradation of ER-targeted mRNAs (RIDD) to maintain ER homeostasis. Here, we used a genetic screen to identify factors critical to the Ire1-mediated UPR response in S. pombe and found several proteins, Dom34, Hbs1 and SkiX, previously implicated in ribosome rescue and the no-go-decay (NGD) pathway. Ribosome profiling in ER-stressed cells lacking these factors revealed that Ire1-mediated cleavage on ER-associated mRNAs results in ribosome stalling on the cleaved transcript and, ultimately in full mRNA degradation. The process engages mechanisms of precise, iterated cleavage of the mRNAs and ribosome rescue. This clear signature allowed us to discover hundreds of novel mRNA targets of Ire1. Our results reveal that the UPR in S. pombe executes RIDD in an intricate interplay between Ire1, translation, and the NGD surveillance pathway, and establish a critical role for NGD in maintaining ER homeostasis.

Noncanonical mRNA decay by the endoplasmic-reticulum stress sensor IRE1-alpha promotes cancer cell survival [RNA-seq]

Project description:Eukaryotic IRE1 mitigates endoplasmic-reticulum (ER) stress by orchestrating the unfolded-protein response (UPR). IRE1 spans the ER membrane, and signals through a cytosolic kinase-endoribonuclease module. The endoribonuclease generates the transcription factor XBP1s by intron excision between similar RNA stem-loop endomotifs, and depletes select cellular mRNAs through regulated IRE1-dependent decay (RIDD). Paradoxically, mammalian RIDD seemingly targets only mRNAs with XBP1-like endomotifs, while in flies RIDD exhibits little sequence restriction. By comparing nascent and total IRE1α-controlled mRNAs in human breast cancer cells, we discovered not only canonical endomotif-containing RIDD substrates, but also many targets lacking recognizable motifs—degraded by a process we coin RIDDLE, for RIDD lacking endomotif. IRE1α displayed two basic endoribonuclease modalities: endomotif-specific cleavage, minimally requiring dimers; and endomotif-independent promiscuous processing, requiring phospho-oligomers. An oligomer-deficient mutant that did not support RIDDLE failed to rescue cancer-cell viability. These results link IRE1α oligomers, RIDDLE, and cell survival, advancing mechanistic understanding of the UPR.

IRE1 and XBP-1 effects on the Drosophila unfolded protein response

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR) allows the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to recover from the accumulation of misfolded proteins, in part by increasing its folding capacity. IRE1 promotes this remodeling by detecting misfolded ER proteins and activating a transcription factor, XBP-1, through endonucleolytic cleavage of its mRNA. We found that IRE1 independently mediated the rapid degradation of a specific subset of mRNAs. The arrays deposited here show the effects of depletion of IRE1 and XBP-1 on UPR induction in S2 cells. We have characterized the IRE1-dependent repressive branch of this response. Keywords: stress response, RNAi, DTT

The unfolded protein response in fission yeast modulates stability of select mRNAs to maintain protein homeostasis

Project description:Homeostatic control mechanisms are essentil to life. One such mechanism, the unfolded protein response (UPR) operates in all eukarytic cells to adjust protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) according to need. UPR induction in all eurkarytic cells to date involves Ire1 (kinase/endonuclease transmembrane protein) mediated a non-convential splicing of Hac1/XBP1 mRNA, encoding for a potent transcription factor. UPR induction causes a comprehensive transcriptional upregulation of the folding capacity in the ER. Here we studied the global transcriptional profile of the UPR in fission yeast. Fission yeast lacks a clear homolog of Hac1/XBP1. Instead Ire1 maintains ER homeostasis through two post-transciptional programs: selective mRNA decay and processing of Bip1 mRNA (encoding for a major HS70-familiy member in the ER) thereby stabilizing it. S. pombe cells were grown in liquid medium (YE5S) to OD600=0.25. Cells were treated with or without 2 mM DTT (Dithiothreitol, impairs disulfid bond formation) for 60 min at 30℃. Total RNA was extracted from cells using hot phenol method. PolyA+ mRNA were enriched by two sequential rounds of oligo-dT (Invitrogen) selection. rRNA depletion was performed by depletion of ll RNA smaller than 200nt (mirVana miRNA Purification Kit (Ambion) followed by two rounds of subtractive hybridization using Ribominus EukaryoteKit for RNA-seq (Invitrogen). To sequence 2',3'-cyclic phosphate cleavage products tRNA ligase was used to selectively ligate an RNA linker to all 2',3'-cyclic phosphatesin total RNA. (described in Schutz et al., 2010). Two biological repeats were performed for the following samples with different conditions and yeast strains: poly A+ mRNA sample and mRNA enriched (ribosome depletion). On replicate was performed for RNA 3' end mapping carrying a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate: 1 replicate

Transcriptome profile of Dictyostelium cell during ER-stress

Project description:The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) is an adaptive pathway that restores cellular homeostasis after endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress caused by an impairment of its protein folding capacity. The ER-resident kinase/ribonuclease Ire1 is the only UPR sensor that has been conserved during evolution from yeast to mammals; in these organisms, Ire1 transmits information from the ER to the nucleus trough the non-conventional splicing of Hac1 (yeast)/Xbp1 (metazoans) mRNA. We described the Dictyostelium discoideum ER-stress response and characterized its single bonafide Ire1 orthologue, IreA. We found that tunicamycin (TN) triggers a gene-expression program that increases the protein folding capacity of the ER and that alleviates ER protein load. Further, IreA resulted essential not only for cell-survival after TN-induced ER-stress, but also to accomplish about nearly 40% of the transcriptional changes induced upon a TN treatment. In addition, we described that autophagy is activated in Dictyostelium cells after a TN treatment and that autophagy-defective mutants exhibited increased sensitivity to this drug. The response of Dictyostelium cells to ER-stress involves the combined activation of an IreA-dependent gene expression program and the autophagy pathway.

Sse1, Hsp110 chaperone of yeast, controls the cellular fate during Endoplasmic Reticulum-stress

Project description:Sse1, yeast cytosolic Hsp110 chaperone, is a wellknown Nucleotide Exchange Factor (NEF), a protein-disaggregase and a Chaperone linked to Protein Synthesis (CLIPS). Here we demonstrate SSE1’s genetic interaction with IRE1 and HAC1, the Endoplasmic Reticulum-Unfolded Protein Response (ER-UPR) sensors. sse1Δ strain exhibits an ER-UPR signalling-dependent resistance to tunicamycin-induced ER stress. Importantly, ER-stress-responsive reorganization of translating ribosomes from polysomes to monosomes is inefficient in SSE1 deleted strain leading to uninterrupted protein translation and starkly different ER-UPR kinetics. sse1Δ exhibits faster ER-UPR induction and quicker reversal to basal state compared to wildtype (WT) cells. Interestingly, ER-stress mediated yeast cell division arrest is escaped in sse1Δ strain during long term tunicamycin stress indicating important role of this chaperone in controlling cell division during ER stress. Furthermore, sse1Δ strain shows significantly higher cell viability in comparison to WT yeast, following short-term as well as long-term tunicamycin stress. In summary, we show that cytosolic chaperone Sse1 genetically interacts with ER-UPR pathway, controls the kinetics of ER-UPR, stress-induced cell division arrest and cell viability during global ER stress by tunicamycin.

Expression data of rat insulinoma cells induced with ER stress +/- IRE1 inhibitor treatment

Project description:The Akita mutation (C96Y) in the insulin gene results in early onset diabetes in both humans and mice. Expression of the mutant proinsulin (C96Y) causes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in pancreatic ?-cells and consequently the cell activates the unfolded protein response (UPR). Since the proinsulin is terminally misfolded however, the ER stress is irremediable and chronic activation of the UPR eventually activates apoptosis in the cell population. We used microarray gene expression arrays to analyze the IRE1-dependent activation of genes in response to misfolded proinsulin expression in an inducible mutant proinsulin (C96Y) insulinoma cell line by inhibiting the IRE1 endoribonucleas activity with a specific inhibitor, 4u8c. Insulinoma cells with doxycycline inducible C96Y-proinsulin expression were either untreated, treated with doxycycline alone or treated with dox and 4u8c. This was done with two biological replicates.

RNA sequencing identifies novel regulated IRE1-dependent decay targets that affect multiple myeloma survival and proliferation

Project description:IRE1 is an unfolded protein response (UPR) sensor with kinase and endonuclease activity. It plays a central role in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response through unconventional splicing of XBP1 mRNA and regulated IRE1-dependent decay (RIDD), which cleaves RNA at an XBP1-like consensus sequence (CUGCAG) accompanied by a stem-loop structure. MM cells are known to exhibit an elevated level of baseline ER stress, but RIDD activity has not been well studied in this disease. To investigate novel RIDD targets of possible relevance to the survival/proliferation of MM cells we combined in vitro cleavage assay with RNA sequencing. Bioinformatic analysis revealed hundreds of putative IRE1 substrates, 32 of which were chosen for validation. Looking into the secondary structure of IRE1 substrates, we found that the consensus sequences of IRF4, PRDM1, IKZF1, KLF13, NOTCH1, ATR, DICER, RICTOR, CDK12, FAM168B, and CENPF mRNAs were accompanied by a stem-loop structure essential for IRE1-mediated cleavage. We show that mRNA and protein levels corresponding to these targets were attenuated in an IRE1-dependent manner by treatment with ER-stress-inducing agents. Our results demonstrate for the first time that IRE1 is a key regulator of several proteins of importance in MM survival and proliferation.
