Project description:Current evidence suggests that nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins can be locally translated at the mitochondrial surface and co-translationally or post-translationally imported into mitochondria. mRNA localization on the mitochondrial membrane, a prerequisite for localized translation, remains uncharacterized in higher eukaryotic organisms. We employed fractionation-sequencing to profile mitochondria-associated mRNAs in zebrafish larvae. Our transcriptome-wide analysis reveals the localization of mRNAs of only 12% of the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins to the mitochondrial surface, which suggests that post-translational import is the dominant mode of protein import to mitochondria. Additionally, the mRNAs which were localized to the mitochondrial membrane consisted mostly of those encoding proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics, suggesting their site-specific translation. Finally, we show that the loss of function of the MIA pathway responsible for the post-translational import of a subclass of mitochondrial proteins, triggers mitochondrial localization of mRNAs encoding proteins that are imported to mitochondria via other pathways. Thus, our study suggests that mRNA targeting and localized translation could be relevant in higher eukaryotes to combat stress conditions affecting mitochondrial biogenesis in general.

Project description:Intracellular sorting of mRNAs is an essential process to regulate gene expression and protein localization. Most of mitochondrial proteins are nuclear-encoded and imported into mitochondria, through post-translational or co-translational processes. To determine cytosolic mRNAs targeted to the mitochondrial surface, a genome-scale analysis of mRNAs associated with mitochondria has been performed in plants. As expected, many messengers encoding mitochondrial proteins were found associated with mitochondria, but numerous mRNAs encoding cytosolic proteins were also detected. This suggests multiple roles for mRNA targeting, in addition to the co-translational import of mitochondrial proteins. Moreover, correlations between mRNA targeting and function of mitochondrial proteins indicate a coordinated control of mRNAs localization within metabolic pathways. At last, upstream AUGs in 5'UTR, known to regulate translation efficiency of downstream sequences, affect mRNA targeting. A mutational approach coupled with in vivo mRNA visualization confirms this observation, and highlights the role of upstream AUGs as regulators of mRNA targeting to the mitochondrial surface.

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are essential for cell viability and rely on protein import into the organelle. Various disease and stress conditions can lead to mitochondrial import defects. We find that inhibition of mitochondrial import in budding yeast activates a surveillance mechanism, mitoCPR, that is aimed at ameliorating mitochondrial import and protecting mitochondria during import stress. mitoCPR induces expression of Cis1 which associates with the mitochondrial translocase to reduce the accumulation of mitochondrial precursor proteins at the organelle surface. Clearance of precursor proteins depends on the Cis1 interacting AAA+ ATPase Msp1 and the proteasome suggesting that Cis1 facilitates degradation of un-imported proteins at the mitochondrial surface.

Project description:The distinct activities of cellular organelles are dependent on the proper function of their membranes. Coordinated membrane biogenesis of the different organelles necessitates interorganelle transport of lipids from their site of synthesis to their destination membranes. Several proteins and trafficking pathways have been proposed to participate in lipid distribution, but despite the basic importance of this process, in vivo evidence linking the absence of putative transport pathways to specific transport defects remains scarce. An obvious reason for this scarcity is the near absence of in vivo lipid trafficking assays. Here we introduce a versatile method named METALIC (Mass tagging-Enabled TrAcking of Lipids In Cells) to track interorganelle lipid flux inside living cells. In this strategy, two enzymes, one directed to a “donor” and the other to an “acceptor” organelle, add two distinct mass tags to lipids. Mass spectrometry-based detection of lipids bearing the two mass tags is then used as a proxy for lipid exchange between the two organelles. By applying this approach to ER and mitochondria, we show that the ERMES and Vps13-Mcp1 complexes have lipid transport activity in vivo, and unravel their relative contributions to ER-mitochondria lipid exchange.

Project description:Two-component signal transduction pathways are one of the primary means by which microorganisms respond to environmental signals. These signaling cascades originated in prokaryotes and were inherited by eukaryotes via endosymbiotic lateral gene transfer from ancestral cyanobacteria. We report here that the nuclear genome of pathogenic fungus Candida albicans contains elements of a two-component signaling pathway that seem to be targeted to the mitochondria. In C. albicans two-component response regulator protein Srr1(Stress Response Regulator) contains a mitochondrial targeting sequence at the N-terminus, and fluorescence microscopy reveals mitochondrial localization of GFP-tagged Srr1p. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis indicates that C. albicans Srr1p is more closely related to histidine kinases and response regulators found in marine bacteria compared to other two-component proteins present in the fungi. These data suggest conservation of this protein during the evolutionary transition from endosymbiont to a subcellular organelle. We used microarray analysis to determine if the phenotypes observed with srr1M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T mutant could be correlated with gene transcriptional changes. Expression of mitochondrial genes was altered in the srr1M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T null mutant in comparison to the wild type. Furthermore, apoptosis significantly increased in the srr1M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T mutant strain compared to wild type, suggesting activation of mitochondria dependent apoptotic cell death pathway in the srr1M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T mutant. This study shows for the first time that a lower eukaryote like C. albicans possesses a two-component response regulator protein that has survived in mitochondria and regulates a subset of genes whose functions are associated with oxidative stress response and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Candida albicans wildtype or srr1 null cells were left untreated or were treated with either 8mM H2O2 for one hour prior to RNA isolation.

Project description:Phosphatidylethanolamine made in mitochondria has long been recognized as an important precursor for phosphatidylcholine production that occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recently, the strict mitochondrial localization of the enzyme that makes PE in the mitochondrion, phosphatidylserine decarboxylase 1 (Psd1), was questioned. Since a dual localization of Psd1 to the ER would have far-reaching implications, we initiated our study to independently re-assess the subcellular distribution of Psd1. Our results support the unavoidable conclusion that the vast majority, if not all, of functional Psd1 resides in the mitochondrion. Through our efforts, we discovered that mutant forms of Psd1 that impair a self-processing step needed for it to become functional are dually localized to the ER when expressed in a PE-limiting environment. We conclude that severely impaired cellular PE metabolism provokes an ER-assisted adaptive response that is capable of identifying and resolving nonfunctional mitochondrial precursors.

Project description:MicroRNAs are well known to mediate translational repression and mRNA degradation in the cytoplasm. Various microRNAs have also been detected in membrane-compartmentalized organelles, but the functional significance has remained elusive. Here we report that miR-1, a microRNA specifically induced during myogenesis, efficiently enters the mitochondria where it unexpectedly stimulates, rather than represses, the translation of specific mitochondrial genome-encoded transcripts. We show that this positive effect requires specific miR:mRNA base-pairing and Ago2, but not its functional partner GW182, which is excluded from the mitochondria. We provide evidence for the direct action of Ago2 in mitochondrial translation by Ago2 CrossLinking ImmunoPrecipitation coupled with sequencing (CLIP-seq), functional rescue with mitochondria-targeted Ago2, and selective inhibition of the microRNA machinery in the cytoplasm. These findings unveil a positive function of microRNA in mitochondrial translation and suggest a highly coordinated myogenic program via miR-1 mediated translational stimulation in the mitochondria and repression in the cytoplasm. Examination of miRNA's regulation function in mitochondria in C2C12 myoblasts cells and myotubes cells with CLIP-seq (Ago2).

Project description:Mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) physically interact by close structural juxtaposition, via the mitochondrial-associated ER membrane. Recently, great advances have been made in the understanding of inter-organelle communication between the ER and mitochondria. To clarify the role of mitochondrial dynamics in this communication, we generated mice lacking the mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) in the liver (Drp1LiKO). While intake of a high-fat diet (HFD) resulted in histological changes characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation, apoptosis, necrosis and fibrosis, reminiscent of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, Drp1LiKO mice showed decreased fat mass and were protected from HFD-induced obesity. Analysis of liver gene expression profiles demonstrated marked elevation of ER stress markers. In addition, we observed increased expression of fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) through induction of activating transcription factor 4 and X-box binding protein 1, master regulators of the integrated stress response.

Project description:Functional crosstalk between organelles is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Individually, dysfunction of both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria have been linked to cellular and organismal aging, but little is known about how mechanisms of inter-organelle communication might be targeted to extended longevity. The metazoan unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains ER health through a variety of mechanisms beyond its canonical role in proteostasis, including calcium storage and lipid metabolism. Here we provide evidence that in C. elegans, inhibition of the conserved UPR mediator, activating transcription factor (atf)-6 increases lifespan via modulation of calcium homeostasis and signaling to the mitochondria. Loss of atf-6 confers long life via downregulation of the ER calcium buffering protein, calreticulin. Function of the ER calcium release channel, the inositol triphosphate receptor (IP3R/itr-1), is required for atf-6 mutant longevity while a gain-of-function IP3R/itr-1 mutation is sufficient to extend lifespan. IP3R dysfunction leads to altered mitochondrial behavior and hyperfused morphology, which is sufficient to suppress long life in atf-6 mutants. Highlighting a novel and direct role for this inter-organelle coordination of calcium in longevity, the mitochondrial calcium import channel, mcu-1, is also required for atf-6 mutant longevity. Altogether this study reveals the importance of organellar coordination of calcium handling in determining the quality of aging, and highlights calcium homeostasis as a critical output for the UPR and atf-6 in particular.

Project description:Organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria interact with each other at specialized domains on the ER known as mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs). Here, using three-dimensional high-resolution imaging techniques, we show that the Sel1LHrd1 protein complex, the most conserved branch of ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD), exerts a profound impact on ER-mitochondria contacts and mitochondrial dynamics, at least in part, by regulating the turnover and hence the abundance of the MAM protein sigma receptor 1 (SigmaR1). Sel1L or Hrd1 deficiency in brown adipocytes impairs dynamic interaction between ER and mitochondria, leading to the formation of pleomorphic “megamitochondria” and, in some cases with penetrating ER tubule(s), in response to acute cold challenge. Mice with ERAD deficiency are cold sensitive and exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction in brown adipocytes. Mechanistically, endogenous SigmaR1 is targeted for proteasomal degradation by Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD, whose accumulation in ERAD-deficient cells leads to mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) oligomerization, thereby linking ERAD to mitochondrial dynamics. Our study identifies Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD as a critical determinant of ER-mitochondria contacts, thereby regulating mitochondrial dynamics and thermogenesis.
