Identifying membrane-bound transcriptional regulatory proteins from rare but evolutionarily conserved domain combinations

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional regulatory proteins, including transcription factors (TFs) and chromatin modifiers, perform their crucial cellular functions inside cell nuclei. However, unlike most TFs, membrane-bound transcription factors (MBTFs) are first anchored in membranes before nuclear translocation. Known MBTFs are vital for processes from myelin expression (MYRF) to cholesterol homeostasis (SREBP), yet their overall diversity remains uncharted. We hypothesized that additional membrane-bound transcriptional regulators (MBTRs) might exist and developed a bioinformatics screen that prioritizes membrane proteins likely to regulate transcription. Our approach leverages domain composition, assuming that surprising domain combinations suggest novel biological functions. We searched for rare but evolutionarily conserved combinations of transmembrane domains paired with domains likely involved in transcriptional regulation. Our method rediscovered known MBTFs and membrane-bound histone kinases, and identified novel MBTR candidates, including histone N-acetyltransferases and the prolactin regulatory element-binding protein PREB. Experimental validation indicates that PREB may undergo cleavage. Without its transmembrane domain, PREB exhibits nuclear localization and chromatin association in mouse embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, we identified a putative class of new MBTFs that share MYRF's DNA-binding domain. These findings underscore the utility of our method and provide a framework for investigating MBTRs that likely facilitate the integration of extracellular signals with transcriptional responses.

Membrane-associated transcripts in Arabidopsis; their isolation...

Project description:Membrane-associated, integral membrane and secreted proteins are of key importance in many cellular processes. For most of the 28 952 predicted proteins in Arabidopsis, the actual subcellular localisation has not been demonstrated experimentally. So far, their potential membrane-association has been deduced from algorithms that predict transmembrane domains and signal peptides. However, the comprehensiveness and accuracy of these algorithms is still limited. The majority of membrane-associated and secreted proteins is synthesised on membrane-bound polysomes. Therefore, the isolation and characterisation of mRNA associated with membrane-bound polysomes offers an experimental tool for the genome-wide identification of these proteins. Here we describe an efficient method to isolate mRNA from membrane-bound polysomes and report on the validation of the method to enrich for transcripts encoding membrane-associated and secreted proteins. The sensitivity and reproducibility of the isolation method was investigated by DNA microarray analysis. Pearson correlations between transcript levels obtained from three replicate isolations showed that the method is highly reproducible. A significant enrichment for mRNAs encoding proteins containing predicted transmembrane domains and signal peptides was observed in the membrane-bound polysomal fraction. In this fraction, 301 transcripts were classified by gene ontologies as âcellular component unknownâ, and potentially encode previously unrecognised secreted or membrane-associated proteins. Membrane-bound (MBP) and free polysomes (FP) were isolated in triplicate from one batch of two weeks old aboveground parts of Arabidopsis seedlings. Each combination of isolated MBP and FP was applied to 4 microarrays, of which two were dyeswapped, giving a total of 12 arrays.

Transcription factors harbor functional RNA-binding domains

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) orchestrate the gene expression programs that define each cell’s identity, and the canonical TF accomplishes this with two functional domains1–7. The DNA-binding domain interacts with specific genomic sequences, and the effector domain binds coactivators or co-repressors that contribute to transcriptional regulation. We report here that TFs also frequently contain an RNA-binding domain and that this also contributes to gene regulation. Nearly half of TFs in human cells show evidence of RNA-binding and their affinities for RNA are similar to those of well-studied RNA-binding proteins. The RNA-binding sites of TFs have sequence and functional features analogous to the arginine-rich motif of the HIV transcriptional activator Tat8,9. RNA-binding contributes to TF function by promoting the dynamic association of TFs with chromatin. We conclude that the canonical definition of transcription factors is incomplete, and that the ability of many TFs to bind DNA, RNA and protein is fundamental to gene regulation.

A Phase 1/2 Trial of TC-510 In Patients With Advanced Mesothelin-Expressing Cancer

Project description:TC-510 is a novel cell therapy that consists of autologous genetically engineered T cells expressing two synthetic constructs: first, a single-domain antibody that recognizes human Mesothelin, fused to the CD3-epsilon subunit which, upon expression, is incorporated into the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) complex and second, a PD-1:CD28 switch receptor, which is expressed on the surface of the T cell, independently from the TCR. The PD-1:CD28 switch receptor comprises the PD-1 extracellular domain fused to the CD28 intracellular domain via a transmembrane domain. Thus, the switch is designed to produce a costimulatory signal upon engagement with PD-L1 on cancer cells.

Ligand binding and conformational dynamics of the E. coli nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase revealed by hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry

Project description:Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenases are integral membrane proteins that utilizes the proton motive force to reduce NADP+ to NADPH while converting NADH to NAD+. Atomic structures of various transhydrogenases in different ligand-bound states have become available, and it is clear that the molecular mechanism involves major conformational changes. Here we utilized hydrogen-deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to map ligand binding sites and analyzed the structural dynamics of E. coli transhydrogenase. We found different allosteric effects on the protein depending on the bound ligand (NAD+, NADH, NADP+, NADPH). The binding of either NADP+ or NADPH to domain III had pronounced effects on the transmembrane helices comprising the proton-conducting channel in domain II. We also made use of cyclic ion mobility separation mass spectrometry (cyclic IMS-MS) to maximize coverage and sensitivity in the transmembrane domain, showing for the first time that this technique can be used for HDX-MS studies. Using cyclic IMS-MS, we increased sequence coverage from 68% to 73% in the transmembrane segments. Taken together, our results provide important new insights into the transhydrogenase reaction cycle and demonstrate the benefit of this new technique for HDX-MS to study ligand binding and conformational dynamics in membrane proteins.
