IRE1 drives a homeostatic response to reduced protein influx into the endoplasmic reticulum (Translation initiation interruption)

ABSTRACT: IRE1, alongside ATF6 and PERK, orchestrates the unfolded protein response, a network of signaling pathways that maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis. Two modes of IRE1 activation are known: i) in response to an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER lumen and ii) in response to compositional changes to the ER membrane that alter its physical properties. Here, we identify a third, independent mode of IRE1 activation: ER co-translational translocation deficits activate IRE1 through a mechanism that relies on the release of IRE1 molecules from unoccupied translocons. We define this mechanism as TRES for “TRanslocon Engagement Surveillance”. TRES leads to spontaneous activation of IRE1 and bypasses its unfolded protein- and ER membrane composition-sensing functions. Inhibiting translation initiation similarly activates IRE1 by TRES, as it leads to a decline in ER protein import, thus linking the integrated stress response (ISR) to IRE1 signaling. Surprisingly, TRES drives IRE1 activation without activating ATF6 or PERK, resulting in a distinct gene expression program that feeds back into the co-translational translocation pathway to rebalance the ER protein load. Our findings demonstrate that monitoring and adjusting the rates of protein translocation are critical for maintaining ER homeostasis.

The eIF2 kinase PERK and the integrated stress response facilitate activation of ATF6 during endoplasmic reticulum stress

Project description:Disruptions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that perturb protein folding cause ER stress and elicit an unfolded protein response (UPR) that involves translational and transcriptional changes in gene expression aimed at expanding the ER processing capacity and alleviating cellular injury. Three ER stress sensors PERK, ATF6, and IRE1 implement the UPR. PERK phosphorylation of eIF2 during ER stress represses protein synthesis, which prevents further influx of ER client proteins, along with preferential translation of ATF4, a transcription activator of the integrated stress response. In this study we show that the PERK/eIF2α~P/ATF4 pathway is required not only for translational control, but also activation of ATF6 and its target genes. The PERK pathway facilitates both the synthesis of ATF6 and trafficking of ATF6 from the ER to the Golgi for intramembrane proteolysis and activation of ATF6. As a consequence, liver-specific depletion of PERK significantly reduces both the translational and transcriptional phases of the UPR, leading to reduced protein chaperone expression, disruptions of lipid metabolism, and enhanced apoptosis. These findings show that the regulatory networks of the UPR are fully integrated, and helps explain the diverse pathologies associated with loss of PERK. 14 gene expression arrays, 3 WT control arrays; 3 lsPERK control arrays; 4 WT Treated arrays; 4 lsPERK treated arrays. Comparison of gene expression profiles for treated vs control in wildtype and knock-out.

Small molecule proteostasis regulators that reprogram the ER to reduce extracellular protein aggregation

Project description:Imbalances in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis are associated with etiologically-diverse degenerative diseases linked to excessive extracellular protein misfolding and aggregation. Reprogramming of the ER proteostasis environment through genetic activation of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR)-associated transcription factor ATF6 attenuates secretion and extracellular aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins. Here, we employed a screening approach that included complementary arm-specific UPR reporters and medium-throughput transcriptional profiling to identify non-toxic small molecules that phenocopy the ATF6-mediated reprogramming of the ER proteostasis environment. Comprehensive transcriptome analysis was employed to validate the capacity of three prioritized compounds to remodel the ER proteostasis environment, and to assess the prefential activation of ATF6 transcriptional targets relative to targets of the IRE1/XBP1s and PERK arms of the UPR. HEK293T-Rex and HEK293-DAX cells were treated for 6 hr with vehicle (DMSO), 1 ÂµM Tg, 10 mM TMP (in HEK293DAX), or 10 ÂµM 132, 147 or 263 in biological triplicate at 37 ÌC

ATF6 promotes colorectal cancer growth and stemness by regulating the Wnt pathway

Project description:The unfolded protein response maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis by sensing protein-folding stress and orchestrating cellular adaptation via the ER-transmembrane proteins IRE1, PERK and ATF6. Malignant cells can co-opt IRE1 and PERK to sustain growth; however, the importance of ATF6 in cancer remains poorly deciphered. We observed elevated ATF6 transcriptional activity in several cancers including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Genetic silencing or small molecule inhibition of ATF6 blocked cell cycle progression and reduced viability of several human CRC cell lines in vitro and disrupted tumor progression in vivo. Unexpectedly, ATF6 interference disabled Wnt and Myc signaling and reduced stemness. ATF6 inhibition attenuated growth of organoids derived from malignant but not normal human intestinal tissue, decreasing Wnt-pathway activity and driving cellular differentiation. Wnt-surrogate agonism in a Wnt-dependent CRC organoid restored pathway activity and rescued growth under ATF6 blockade. Our findings identify ATF6 as an unexpected facilitator of oncogenic Wnt signaling in CRC.

IRE1signaling in Osx1-cre expressing cells

Project description:The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) fine tunes the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in eukaryotic cells via the actions of PERK, IRE1 and ATF6 proteins. However, the specific contributions of these proteins to bone health have not been investigated. These studies evaluated the role of IRE1 signlaing in preosteoblasts by condcting studies in osteoprogenitors lacking IRE1 (generated via Osx1-cre). The studies invovled isolation and culture of IRE1KO and flox control osteoprogenitor cells that gene expression analysis. Our studies reveal a novel regulatory role in stimulating osteoprogenitor proliferation by stimulating β-catenin/TCF mediated transcription and subsequent bone formation

Chemical stresses fail to mimic the unfolded protein response resulting from luminal load with unfolded polypeptides

Project description:The stress sensors ATF6, IRE1 and PERK monitor deviations from homeostatic conditions in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a protein biogenesis compartment of eukaryotic cells. Their activation elicits unfolded protein responses (UPR) to re-establish proteostasis. UPR have been extensively investigated in cells exposed to chemicals that activate ER stress sensors by perturbing calcium, sugars or redox homeostasis. Cell responses to variations in luminal load with unfolded proteins are, in contrast, poorly characterized. Here, we compared gene and protein expression profiles in cells challenged with ER stress-inducing drugs or expressing model polypeptides. Drugs titration to limit up-regulation of the endogenous ER stress reporters BiP/HSPA5 and HERP/HERPUD1 to levels comparable to luminal accumulation of unfolded proteins substantially reduced the amplitude of transcriptional and translational responses. Nevertheless, these remained pleiotropic and failed to recapitulate responses to ER load with unfolded proteins, which induced a limited subset of genes participating in a chaperone complex that binds unfolded chains.
