Hydroxyurea induces an oxidative stress response that triggers ER expansion and cytoplasmic protein aggregation

ABSTRACT: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen provides the proper redox environment for disulfide bond formation, which is essential for the correct folding of proteins entering the secretory pathway and forming membranes. However, the precise mechanisms by which disruptions in protein folding within the ER activate proteostatic mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that in Schizosaccaromyces pombe the antineoplastic agent hydroxyurea (HU) induces a transient perinuclear ER expansion, Bip1 accumulation and the clustering of nuclear pore complexes in a specific region of the nuclear envelope. This striking phenotype is mimicked by diamide (DIA), a specific inducer of thiol stress, and can be prevented or rapidly reversed by dithiothreitol, a reducing agent, suggesting that ER expansion results from disulfide stress. Furthermore, HU or DIA treatments resulted in the accumulation of misfolded proteins in cytoplasmic foci containing Hsp104 disaggregase and Hsp70/Ssa1 chaperones. Our data show that HU impacts redox-dependent protein folding, impairs the secretory pathway and activates specific proteostatic mechanisms in both the ER and the cytoplasm.

Impact of oxygen availability on the organelle-specific redox potentials and stress in recombinant protein producing Komagataella phaffii

Project description:The yeast Komagataella phaffii (syn. Pichia pastoris) is a highly effective and well-established host for the production of recombinant proteins. The redox balance of its secretory pathway, which is multi-organelle dependent, is of high importance for producing secretory proteins. Redox imbalance and oxidative stress an significantly influence protein folding and secretion. Glutathione serves as the main redox buffer of the cell and cellular redox conditions can be assessed through the status of the glutathione redox couple (GSH-GSSG). Previous research often focused on the redox potential of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where oxidative protein folding and disulfide bond formation occur. In this study, in vivo measurements of the glutathione redox potential were extended to different subcellular compartments by targeting genetically encoded redox sensitive fluorescent proteins (roGFPs) to the cytosol, ER, mitochondria and peroxisomes. Using these biosensors, the impact of oxygen availability on the redox potentials of the different organelles was investigated in non-producing and producing K. phaffii strains in glucose-limited chemostat cultures. It was found that the transition from normoxic to hypoxic conditions affected the redox potentials of all investigated organelles, while the exposure to hyperoxic conditions did not impact them. Also, as reported previously, hypoxic conditions led to increased recombinant protein secretion. Finally, transcriptome and proteome analyses provided novel insights into the short-term adaptation of the cells from normoxic to hypoxic conditions.

The Mammalian Cytosolic Thioredoxin Reductase Pathway Acts via a Membrane Protein to Reduce ER-localised Proteins

Project description:Folding of proteins entering the mammalian secretory pathway requires the insertion of the correct disulfide bonds. Disulfide formation involves both an oxidative pathway for their insertion and a reductive pathway to remove incorrectly formed disulfides. Reduction of these disulfides is critical for correct folding and degradation of misfolded proteins. Previously, we showed that the reductive pathway is driven by NADPH generated in the cytosol. Here, by reconstituting the pathway using purified proteins and ER microsomal membranes, we demonstrate that the thioredoxin reductase system provides the minimal cytosolic components required for reducing proteins within the ER lumen. In particular, saturation of the pathway and its protease sensitivity demonstrates the requirement for a membrane protein to shuttle electrons from the cytosol to the ER lumen. These results provide compelling evidence for the critical role of the cytosol in regulating ER redox homeostasis to ensure correct protein folding and to facilitate the degradation of misfolded ER proteins.

Impact of oxygen availability on the organelle-specific redox potentials and stress in recombinant protein producing Komagataella phaffii

Project description:The methylotrophic yeast Komagataella phaffii (syn. Pichia pastoris) is one of the most effective and established expression hosts for heterologous protein production. The redox balance of its secretory pathway, which is multi-organelle dependent, is of high importance for recombinant protein production. Redox imbalance and oxidative stress are two main factors that can influence protein production and secretion, especially the redox potential of the ER where protein folding and disulfide bond formation occur. Glutathione is the main redox buffer of the cell and its redox conditions can be determined by the status of the glutathione redox couple (GSH-GSSG). In this study, in vivo measurements of the glutathione redox potential in different subcellular compartments were achieved by genetically encoded redox sensitive fluorescent probes (roGFPs). Using these biosensors, the impact of oxygen availability on the redox potentials of different organelles (cytosol, ER, mitochondria and peroxisomes) of non-producing and producing K. phaffii strains in glucose-limited chemostat cultures was investigated. It was found that the transition from normoxic to hypoxic conditions affected the redox potentials of all investigated organelles. Also, as reported previously, hypoxic conditions led to increased recombinant protein secretion. Finally, transcriptome and proteome datasets analysis provided novel insights into the short-term adaptation of the cells from normoxic to hypoxic conditions. In conclusion, improved production of therapeutic disulfide-bonded proteins in industrial settings can be achieved by tuning oxidative stress and redox homeostasis in the K. phaffii strains.

The protein disulfide isomerase AGR2 is essential for the production of intestinal mucus

Project description:Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) aid protein folding and assembly by catalyzing formation and shuffling of cysteine disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Many members of the PDI family are expressed in mammals but the roles of specific PDIs in vivo are poorly understood. A recent homology-based search for additional PDI family members identified anterior gradient homolog 2 (AGR2), a protein originally presumed to be secreted by intestinal epithelial cells, but the function of AGR2 has been obscure. Here we show that AGR2 is expressed in the ER of secretory cells and is essential for in vivo production of intestinal mucin, a large cysteine-rich glycoprotein that forms the protective mucus gel lining the intestine. A cysteine residue within the AGR2 thioredoxin-like domain forms mixed disulfide bonds with MUC2, consistent with a direct role for AGR2 in mucin processing. Despite a complete absence of intestinal mucin, mice lacking AGR2 appeared healthy but were highly susceptible to dextran sodium sulfate-induced experimental colitis, indicating a critical role for AGR2 in protection from environmental insults. We conclude that AGR2 is a unique member of the PDI family that has a specialized and non-redundant role in intestinal mucus production.

Fam20C interactome in the secretory pathway under ER stress

Project description:Accumulated unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) will trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) to increase protein-folding capacity. The ER proteostasis and UPR signaling should be precisely and timely regulated. In the project, by unbiased proteomics analysis, we identify that the serine 357 of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is rapidly phosphorylated by the secretory pathway kinase Fam20C under ER stress. Remarkably, phosphorylated Ser357 induces an open conformation of PDI and turns it from a ‘foldase’ to a ‘holdase’, which is critical for preventing protein misfolding in the ER.

TMX2 is a key regulator of cellular redox state and its dysfunction causes severe brain developmental abnormalities

Project description:The redox state of the neural progenitors regulates physiological processes such as neuronal differentiation, dendritic and axonal growth. The relevance of ER-associated oxidoreductases in these processes is largely unexplored. We describe a severe neurological disorder caused by biallelic loss of function variants in the Thioredoxin (TRX)-Related Transmembrane-2 (TMX2) gene, detected by exome sequencing in ten affected individuals from seven unrelated families presenting with congenital microcephaly, cortical polymicrogyria and other migration disorders. TMX2 encodes one of the five TMX proteins of the Protein Disulfide Isomerase family and is the first to be linked to human brain disease. Our mechanistic studies on protein function show that TMX2 localizes to the ER Mitochondria-Associated-Membranes (MAMs), is involved in posttranslational modification and protein folding and undergoes physical interaction with the MAM associated and ER folding chaperone calnexin and ER calcium pump SERCA2. These interactions are functionally relevant because TMX2-deficient fibroblasts show decreased mitochondrial respiratory reserve capacity and compensatory increased basal glycolytic activity. Intriguingly, under basal conditions TMX2 occurs in both reduced and oxidized monomeric form, while it forms a stable dimer under treatment with hydrogen peroxide, recently recognized as signaling molecule in neural morphogenesis and axonal pathfinding. Exogenous expression of the pathogenic TMX2 variants or of variants with in vitro mutagenized TRX domain induces a constitutive TMX2 polymerization, mimicking increased oxidative state. Altogether these data uncover TMX2 as a sensor in the MAM-regulated redox state and identify it as a key adaptive regulator of neuronal proliferation, migration and organization in the developing brain.

ERO1 alpha deficiency increases N-glycosylation of a proangiogenic VEGFA by MAGT1-dependent OST complex

Project description:N-glycosylation and disulfide bond formation are two essential steps in protein folding, that both take place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These two modifications can influence each other, but the exact timing, as well as the mediators of this important crosstalk, are still not completely elucidated. In previous work, we demonstrated that cells deficient in ER oxidoreductin 1-alpha (ERO1-alpha), a protein disulfide oxidase, are impaired in their ability to secrete Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF121), a key regulator of vascular homeostasis in health and of metastasis in cancer. Here, to analyze the crosstalk between N-glycosylation and disulfide bond formation in newly synthesized proteins of the ER, we investigated how ERO1-alpha deficit affects glycosylation of VEGF121. We found that reduced ER redox poise imposed by ERO1 deficiency, while slowing down the intracellular formation of disulfide-bonds in VEGF121, promoted the full utilization of its single N-glycosylation consensus site, which lies close to an intra-polypeptide disulfide bridge. Unexpectedly, this hyperglycosylation impairs the kinetics of VEGF121 secretion. Unbiased mass-spectrometric data of VEGF121 immunoprecipitates followed by pathway analysis indicated a stable interaction between VEGF121 and proteins involved in the N-glycosylation in ERO1-alpha knockout, but not wild-type cells. Notably, MAGT1, a thioredoxin-containing protein and part of the post-translational oligosaccharyltransferase complex (OST), was a major hit exclusive to ERO1-deficient cells. We demonstrate that post-translational N-glycosylation VEGF121 is increased under the altered redox poise caused by ERO1 deficit: on the one hand by a reduced rate of formation of its disulfide bridges, and on the other, by the increased trapping potential of MAGT1's thioredoxin domain. These findings have implications for a variety of pathological processes involving altered redox conditions in the ER.

Quantitative Proteomics Analysis of PDI8 Depletion in Toxoplasma gondii

Project description:Protein disulfide isomerase, containing thioredoxin (Trx) domains, serves as a vital enzyme responsible for oxidative protein folding (the formation, reduction, and isomerization of disulfide bonds in newly synthesized proteins) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this study, we identified TgPDI8, an ER-localized PDI protein in Toxoplasma gondii. Conditional knockdown of TgPDI8 resulted in a significant growth defect. To investigate the impact of TgPDI8 on protein expression, we assessed proteomic changes following the knockdown of TgPDI8.
