Project description:Post-translational cycles of α-tubulin detyrosination/tyrosination generate microtubule diversity, with broad physiological and clinical implications. However, the mechanistic understanding of how this microtubule diversity is decoded into specific cellular functions remains largely unknown. Here we show that the core microtubule-binding site at kinetochores ‘reads’ and responds to the α-tubulin detyrosination/tyrosination code. By combining CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing of enzymatic ‘writers’ of α-tubulin detyrosination/tyrosination in human cells, with biochemical purifications, mass spectrometry and super-resolution microscopy, we identified over a hundred proteins that preferentially associate with either detyrosinated or tyrosinated microtubules during mitosis. Among these, the conserved KNL-1/MIS12 complex/NDC80 complex (KMN) network at kinetochores showed a preference for tyrosinated microtubules. In addition to established roles in error correction and polar chromosome alignment, live-cell imaging uncovered a previously overlooked link between the α-tubulin detyrosination/tyrosination code and the formation of functional kinetochore-microtubule attachments, necessary for normal metaphase chromosome oscillations and timely spindle assembly checkpoint satisfaction. In vitro reconstitution experiments revealed that α-tubulin detyrosination specifically promotes Ndc80 diffusion along the microtubule lattice. We propose that the gradual accumulation of detyrosinated α-tubulin after initial microtubule capture at kinetochores facilitates the biased diffusion of core-binding proteins along the microtubule lattice, establishing a positive feedback loop that sustains kinetochore-microtubule attachments.

Project description:A proliferated and post-translationally modified microtubule network underlies cellular growth in cardiac hypertrophy and contributes to contractile dysfunction in heart failure. Yet how the heart achieves this modified network is poorly understood. Determining how the “tubulin code” – the permutations of tubulin isoforms and post-translational modifications - is rewritten upon cardiac stress may provide new targets to modulate cardiac remodeling. Further, while tubulin can autoregulate its own expression, it is unknown if autoregulation is operant in the heart or tuned in response to stress. Here we use heart failure patient samples and murine models of cardiac remodeling to interrogate transcriptional, autoregulatory, and post-translational mechanisms that contribute to microtubule network remodeling at different stages of heart disease. We find that autoregulation is operant across tubulin isoforms in the heart and leads to an apparent disconnect in tubulin mRNA and protein levels in heart failure. We also find that within 4 hours of a hypertrophic stimulus and prior to cardiac growth, microtubule detyrosination is rapidly induced to help stabilize the network. This occurs concomitant with rapid transcriptional and autoregulatory activation of specific tubulin isoforms and microtubule motors. Upon continued hypertrophic stimulation, there is an increase in post-translationally modified microtubule tracks and anterograde motors to support cardiac growth, while total tubulin content increases through progressive transcriptional and autoregulatory induction of tubulin isoforms. Our work provides a new model for how the tubulin code is rapidly rewritten to establish a proliferated, stable microtubule network that drives cardiac remodeling, and provides the first evidence of tunable tubulin autoregulation during pathological progression.

Project description:Elongator is a tRNA-modifying complex regulating protein translation. Recently, a moonlighting function of Elongator has been identified in regulating the polarization of the microtubule cytoskeleton during asymmetric cell division. Elongator induces symmetry breaking of the anaphase midzone by selectively stabilizing microtubules on one side of the spindle, contributing to the downstream polarized segregation of cell-fate determinants and therefore to cell fate determination. Here, we show how Elongator controls microtubule dynamics. Elongator binds simultaneously to the tip of microtubules and also to free GTP-tubulin heterodimers using two different subcomplexes, Elp123 and Elp456, respectively. We show that these activities must be coupled for Elongator to decrease the critical concentration of tubulin for microtubule elongation. As a consequence, Elongator increases microtubule growth speed and decreases their catastrophe rate. Surprisingly, we found that Elp456 binds to tubulin tails and has strong selectivity towards polyglutamylated tubulin. Hence, microtubules assembled by Elongator become selectively enriched with polyglutamylated tubulin. Therefore, Elongator rewrites the tubulin code of growing microtubules, placing it at the core of cytoskeletal dynamics and polarization during asymmetric cell division.

Project description:PARP7 (TiPARP), a mono (ADP-ribosyl) transferase (MART) was found to target α-tubulin proteins in ovarian cancer cells, enhancing their growth and migration. RBN-2397 is a potent inhibitor that selectively acts on PARP7. Here, we show that RBN-2397 treatment leads to the stabilization of microtubules in ovarian cancer cells, namely α-tubulin, mimicking what was previously observed with PARP7 knockdown. When treated with RBN-2397, we observe a decrease in growth and migration of ovarian cancer cells and, interestingly, the effect is intensified upon adding the microtubule stabilizing chemotherapeutic agent, paclitaxel. Mutating the site of α-tubulin MARylation by PARP7 similarly results in α-tubulin stabilization and decreased cell migration in the presence of paclitaxel when the tubulin network is further stabilized. In sum, we demonstrate that PARP7 inhibition decreases α-tubulin MARylation resulting in its stabilization, and ultimately leading to decreased ovarian cancer cell proliferation and migration. Finally, we show that combining PARP7 inhibitor and paclitaxel results in a more robust inhibition of aggressive ovarian cancer phenotypes. Collectively, this study highlights the potential of targeting PARP7 in combination with established chemotherapeutic agents to enhance treatment efficacy for ovarian cancer.

Project description:At the cellular level, α-tubulin acetylation alters the structure of microtubules to render them mechanically resistant to compressive forces. How this biochemical property of microtubule acetylation relates to mechanosensation remains unknown, though prior studies have shown that microtubule acetylation influences touch perception. Here, we identify the major Drosophila α-tubulin acetylase (dTAT) and show that it plays key roles in several forms of mechanosensation. dTAT is highly expressed in the larval peripheral nervous system (PNS), but is largely dispensable for neuronal morphogenesis. Mutation of the acetylase gene or the K40 acetylation site in α-tubulin impairs mechanical sensitivity in sensory neurons and behavioral responses to gentle touch, harsh touch, gravity, and vibration stimuli, but not noxious thermal stimulus. Finally, we show that dTAT is required for mechanically-induced activation of NOMPC, a microtubule-associated transient receptor potential channel, and functions to maintain integrity of the microtubule cytoskeleton in response to mechanical stimulation.
