Project description:The eukaryotic translation factor eIF5A plays an important role in translation elongation, especially across stretches of prolines and charged amino acids, and in translation termination. eIF5A undergoes hypusination, a post-translational modification unique to this protein, although the role of hypusination in the function of eIF5A remains elusive. Here, we investigated the cellular defects induced by the hypusination inhibitor GC7 (N1-guanyl-1,7-diaminoheptane). Proteome, translatome, and transcriptome analyses indicated that GC7 downregulated a subset of mitochondrial proteins and DNA, causing mitochondrial stress and eliciting the integrated stress response. Chemical genomic screening using barcoded shRNA libraries identified genes encoding proteins involved in polyamine metabolism/transport and MPV17L2, a mitochondrial disease gene homologue whose product regulates mitochondrial translation. Depletion of MPV17L2 caused hypersensitivity to GC7 and phenocopied the effects of GC7 treatment. These results suggest that eIF5A hypusination and MPV17L2 synthetically regulate mitochondrial molecular synthesis and integrity.

Project description:Cellular senescence is characterized by a permanent growth arrest and is associated with tissue aging and cancer. Senescent cells secrete a number of different cytokines referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which impacts the surrounding tissue and immune response. Here, we found that senescent cells exhibit higher rates of protein synthesis compared to proliferating cells and identified eIF5A as a crucial regulator of this process. Polyamine metabolism and hypusination of eIF5A play a pivotal role in sustaining elevated levels of protein synthesis in senescent cells. Mechanistically, we identified a p53-dependent program in senescent cells that maintains hypusination levels of eIF5A. Finally, we demonstrate that functional eIF5A is required for synthesizing mitochondrial ribosomal proteins and monitoring the immune clearance of premalignant senescent cells in vivo. Our findings establish an important role of protein synthesis during cellular senescence and suggest a link between eIF5A, polyamine metabolism and senescence immune surveillance.

Project description:Here using mouse genetic models and human cancer cells, we show that YAP/TAZ reprogram polyamine metabolism to promote cell proliferation and tumor growth. Mechanistically, YAP/TAZ increases polyamine synthesis mainly through direct upregulation of the major rate-limiting enzyme ornithine decarboxylase 1. We further demonstrate that the polyamine spermidine sustains eukaryotic translation factor 5A (eIF5A) hypusination to support efficient translation of histone demethylase LSD1 that maintains a favored epigenetic status for YAP/TAZ-induced cell proliferation. Furthermore, inhibiting either polyamine synthesis or LSD1 can suppress YAP/TAZ-induced cell proliferation in mouse liver and human cancer cells. Thus our study identifies a YAP/TAZ-polyamine-eIF5A hypusination-LSD1 axis as required for YAP/TAZ-induced cell proliferation and tumor growth and suggests LSD1 as a critical target of polyamine in tumorigenesis.

Project description:The eukaryotic translation factor eIF5A plays an essential role in translation elongation, especially across stretches of prolines and charged amino acids, and in translation termination. Although eIF5A is subjected to hypusination, a post-translational modification unique to this protein, how hypusination contributes to the eIF5A function remains elusive. Here we investigated the cellular defects induced by hypusination inhibitor GC7 (N1-guanyl-1,7-diaminoheptane). Through proteome, translatome and transcriptome analysis, we found that GC7 decreased a subset of mitochondrial proteins and DNA (mtDNA). Furthermore, chemical genomic screening using barcoded shRNA libraries identified genes for particular proteins involved in polyamine metabolism and a mitochondrial protein MPV17L2 as those altering the cytotoxicity induced by GC7. Depletion of MPV17L2 led to hypersensitivity to GC7 as well as the decreases in mitochondrial proteins and mtDNA. Moreover, metabolome analysis revealed that MPV17L2 depletion and GC7 treatment additively decreased the amount of proline and asparagine. Our results indicate that MPV17L2 displays a synthetic lethal interaction with the eIF5A hypusination targeted by GC7.

The marine natural product girolline has been described as an inhibitor of protein synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that it is not a general translation inhibitor but represents a sequence-specific modulator of translation factor eIF5A. Girolline interferes with ribosome-eIF5A interaction and induces ribosome stalling, primarily on AAA-encoded lysine. Our data furthermore indicate that eIF5A plays a physiological role in ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) and is important in maintaining the efficiency of translational progress. Girolline, therefore, provides a potent tool compound for understanding the interplay between protein production and quality control in a physiological setting and offers a new and selective means of modulating gene expression. numerous molecules serving as valuable therapeutics.

Project description:BRAF inhibitors are widely employed in the treatment of melanoma with the BRAF V600E mutation. However, the development of resistance greatly compromises their therapeutic efficacy. Here, we elucidate the role of polyamine biosynthesis and its regulatory mechanisms in promoting BRAF inhibitor resistance. Leveraging CRISPR-Cas9 screens, we identify AMD1 (S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1), a critical enzyme for polyamine biosynthesis, as a druggable target whose inhibition reverses vemurafenib resistance. Metabolomic and proteomic analyses reveal that polyamine biosynthesis is upregulated in vemurafenib-resistant cancer, resulting in enhanced EIF5A hypusination, translation of mitochondrial proteins and oxidative phosphorylation. We also identify that sustained c-Myc levels in vemurafenib-resistant cancer are responsible for elevated polyamine biosynthesis. Finally, inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis or c-Myc reversed vemurafenib resistance both in vitro and in vivo in a xenograft model. With the polyamine biosynthesis signature correlated with poor prognosis in BRAF mutant melanoma patients, our findings reveal that the polyamine-hypusination-mitochondrial respiration pathway is an effective therapeutic target that can maximize the therapeutic efficacy of existing BRAF inhibitors.

Project description:Metabolic programs contribute to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) fate, but it is not known whether the metabolic regulation of protein synthesis controls HSPC differentiation. Here, we show that SLC7A1/CAT1-dependent arginine uptake and its catabolism to the polyamine spermidine control human erythroid specification of HSPCs via activation of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A). eIF5A activity is dependent on its hypusination, a post-translational modification resulting from the conjugation of the aminobutyl moiety of spermidine to lysine. Notably, attenuation of hypusine synthesis in erythroid progenitors by inhibition of deoxyhypusine synthase abrogates erythropoiesis but not myeloid cell differentiation. Proteomic profiling reveals mitochondrial translation to be a critical target of hypusinated eIF5A and accordingly, progenitors with decreased hypusine activity exhibit diminished oxidative phosphorylation. This impacted pathway is critical for eIF5A-regulated erythropoiesis as interventions augmenting mitochondrial function partially rescue human erythropoiesis under conditions of attenuated hypusination. Levels of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins were especially sensitive to the loss of hypusine and we find that the ineffective erythropoiesis linked to haploinsufficiency of RPS14 in del(5q) myelodysplastic syndrome is associated with a diminished pool of hypusinated eIF5A. Moreover, patients with RPL11-haploinsufficient Diamond-Blackfan anemia as well as CD34+ progenitors with downregulated RPL11 exhibit a markedly decreased hypusination in erythroid progenitors, concomitant with a loss of mitochondrial metabolism. Thus, eIF5A-dependent protein synthesis regulates human erythropoiesis and our data reveal a novel role for RPs in controlling eIF5A hypusination in HSPC, synchronizing mitochondrial metabolism with erythroid differentiation.

Project description:The eukaryotic translation elongation factor eIF5A is the only protein known to contain the unusual amino acid hypusine which is essential for its biological activity. This posttranslational modification is achieved by the sequential action of the enzymes deoxyhypusine synthase and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase. The crucial molecular function of eIF5A during translation has been recently elucidated in yeast and it is expected to be fully conserved in every eukaryotic cell, however the functional description of this pathway in plants is still scarce. The genetic approaches with transgenic plants for either eIF5A overexpression or antisense have revealed some activities related to the control of cell death processes but the molecular details remain to be characterized. One important aspect to fully understand this pathway is the biochemical description of the hypusine modification system. Here we have used recombinant eIF5A proteins either modified by hypusination or non-modified to establish a bi-dimensional electrophoresis (2D-E) profile for the three eIF5A protein isoforms present in Arabidopsis thaliana. The combined use of the recombinant 2D-E profile together with 2D-E/western blot analysis from whole plant extracts has provided a quantitative approach to measure the hypusination status of eIF5A. We have used this information to demonstrate that treatment with the hormone abscisic acid produces an alteration of the hypusine modification system in Arabidopsis thaliana. Overall this study presents the first biochemical description of the posttranslational modification of eIF5A by hypusination which will be functionally relevant for future studies related to the characterization of this pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana.
