Phosphoethanolamine Cytidylyltransferase 2 Integrates DAG Metabolism and TBK1 Activation to Regulate Antiviral Innate Immunity

ABSTRACT: Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) biosynthesis is critical for membrane biology and cellular homeostasis. However, its specific role in antiviral innate immunity remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that inhibition of phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase 2 (PCYT2), a key enzyme in PE biosynthesis, promotes TBK1 activation to enhance antiviral immune response. Mechanistically, PCYT2 deficiency leads to the accumulation of diacylglycerol (DAG), which activates protein kinase C δ (PKCδ). We identify PKCδ as a direct kinase for TBK1, and demonstrate that it binds to and phosphorylates TBK1 at Ser716. This Ser716 phosphorylation facilitates subsequent canonical phosphorylation at Ser172, resulting in hyperactivation of the TBK1–IRF3 axis. Our findings uncover a novel link between phospholipid metabolism and antiviral innate immunity, suggesting that targeting the PE biosynthesis pathway could be a potential therapeutic strategy against viral infections.

PCYT2 inhibits epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer by elevating YAP1 phosphorylation

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming is a common feature in tumor progression and metastasis. Like proteins, lipids can transduce signals through lipid-protein interactions. During tumor initiation and metastasis, dysregulation of the Hippo pathway plays a critical role. Specifically, the inhibition of YAP1 phosphorylation leads to the relocation of YAP1 to the nucleus to activate transcription of genes involved in metastasis. Although recent studies reveal the involvement of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) synthesis enzyme phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase 2 (PCYT2) in tumor chemoresistance, the impact of PCYT2 on tumor metastasis remains elusive. Here, we showed that PCYT2 was significantly downregulated in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) and acted as a tumor metastasis suppressor. Mechanistically, PCYT2 increased the interaction between PEBP1 and YAP1-phosphatase PPP2R1A, thus disrupting PPP2R1A-YAP1 association. As a result, phosphorylated-YAP1 levels were increased, leading to YAP1 degradation through the ubiquitin protease pathway. YAP1 reduction in the nucleus repressed the transcription of ZEB1 and Snail2, eventually resulting in metastasis suppression. Our work provides insight into the role of PE synthesis in regulating metastasis and presents PCYT2 as a potential therapeutic target for CRC.

Glycerol-3-phosphate and Phosphoethanolamine homeostatic switch triggers senescence by rewiring lipid metabolism II

Project description:Cellular senescence impacts many physiological and pathological processes. A durable cell cycle arrest, inflammatory secretory phenotype, and metabolic reprogramming characterize it. Identifying common and specific metabolic liabilities in senescence provide novel inroads to exploit senescence targeting for health benefits. Here, we use dynamic transcriptome and metabolome profiling in different senescence subtypes to reveal common and specific metabolic signatures. Specifically, we pinpoint the homeostatic switch of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) accumulation, intimately linking lipid metabolism to the senescence gene expression program. Mechanistically, p53-dependent glycerol kinase (GK) activation and post-translational inactivation of Phosphate Cytidylyltransferase 2- Ethanolamine (PCYT2) regulate this metabolic switch, which is senogenic. Conversely, G3P phosphatase (G3PP) and Ethanolamine-Phosphate Phospho-Lyase (ETNPPL)-based scavenging of G3P and PEtn is senomorphic. Collectively, our study ties the G3P-PEtn homeostatic switch to controlling lipid droplet biogenesis and phospholipid flux in senescent cells, providing a potential, novel therapeutic avenue for senescence targeting in pathophysiology.

Phosphoethanolamine Accumulation Protects Cancer Cells under Glutamine Starvation through Downregulation of PCYT2

Project description:The conditions of the tumor microenvironment, such as nutrient starvation, play critical roles in cancer progression. However, the role of glutamine deprivation in cancer progression is not studied as extensively as that of hypoxia. Here, we show that glutamine starvation triggered down-regulation of PCYT2 by stimulating accumulation of PEtn. Interestingly, glutamine upregulated series of glutamine-responsive genes, not only PCYT2. Furthermore, glutamine-responsive genes were associated with overall survival of cancer patients. Thus, our findings show that glutamine responsive genes such as PCYT2 are key for progression of cancer cells, partly protecting cancer cells to glutamine starvation.

E3 ubiquitin ligase DTX2 reinforces innate antiviral immune responses by modulating K63-linked ubiquitination of TBK1

Project description:TBK1 plays a pivotal role in innate antiviral immunity, serving as a critical mediator downstream of various pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). TBK1 activity is tightly regulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs) including ubiquitination to maintain innate immune homeostasis. Here, we identify the Deltex E3 ubiquitin ligase 2 (DTX2) as a positive regulator of innate antiviral signaling in response to RNA viruses. We find that DTX2 overexpression enhances antiviral signaling, whereas loss of DTX2 evidently reduces antiviral responses. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that DTX2 directly interacts with TBK1 and promotes TBK1 K63-linked polyubiquitination to regulate antiviral signaling. Collectively, our study reveals that DTX2 plays a novel positive regulatory role in antiviral signaling by modulating the K63-linked ubiquitination of TBK1 to maintain the balance of innate antiviral immune responses.

A homeostatic switch causing glycerol-3-phosphate and phosphoethanolamine accumulation triggers senescence by rewiring lipid metabolism

Project description:<p>Cellular senescence affects many physiological and pathological processes and is characterized by durable cell cycle arrest, an inflammatory secretory phenotype and metabolic reprogramming. Here, by using dynamic transcriptome and metabolome profiling in human fibroblasts with different subtypes of senescence, we show that a homeostatic switch which results in glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) accumulation links lipid metabolism to the senescence gene expression program. Mechanistically, p53-dependent glycerol kinase (GK) activation and post-translational inactivation of Phosphate Cytidylyltransferase 2-Ethanolamine (PCYT2) regulate this metabolic switch, which promotes triglyceride accumulation in lipid droplets and induces the senescence gene expression program. Conversely, G3P phosphatase (G3PP) and Ethanolamine-Phosphate Phospho-Lyase (ETNPPL)-based scavenging of G3P and PEtn acts in a senomorphic way by reducing G3P and PEtn accumulation. Collectively, our study ties G3P and PEtn accumulation to controlling lipid droplet biogenesis and phospholipid flux in senescent cells, providing a potential therapeutic avenue for targeting senescence and related pathophysiology.</p>

p53 mediates phospholipid headgroup scavenging [RNA-seq]

Project description:A growing number of studies have shown that p53 modulates metabolic pathways to support diverse biological functions. Given that p53 is most widely known to act as a transcriptional activator, this raises the possibility that p53 transcriptional activity governs metabolic reprogramming. Here, we performed targeted metabolomics and lipidomic analysis which revealed an increase in the de novo biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) upon p53 activation. Elevated levels of phosphoethanolamine (PEtn), the PE headgroup, in p53 active cells are sustained through PE headgroup recycling, which is partially mediated through the transcriptional activation of autophagy by p53. Disruption of phospholipid headgroup recycling through genetic perturbation of the CDP-ethanolamine pathway results in defects in cell-state specific perturbations in growth and gene expression. Notably, we observe restructuring of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria contacts in cells where headgroup recycling was abrogated, likely an attempt to maintain lipid homeostasis, and this reorganization is reversed when flux through the CDP-Etn pathway is restored. Together, these results suggest that lipid recycling to be an additional tool in the p53 arsenal supporting cellular fitness.
