Transcriptome and proteome analyses and the role of atypical calpain protein and autophagy in the spliced leader silencing pathway in Trypanosoma brucei

ABSTRACT: Under persistent ER stress, Trypanosoma brucei parasites induce the spliced leader silencing (SLS) pathway. In SLS, transcription of the SL RNA gene, the SL donor to all mRNAs, is extinguished, arresting transsplicing and leading to programmed cell death(PCD). In this study, we investigated the transcriptome following silencing of SEC63, a factor essential for protein translocation across the ER membrane, and whose silencing induces SLS. The proteome of SEC63-silenced cells was analyzed with an emphasis on SLS-specific alterations in protein expression, and modifications that do not directly result from perturbations in trans-splicing. One such protein identified is an atypical calpain SKCRP7.1/7.2. Cosilencing of SKCRP7.1/7.2 and SEC63 eliminated SLS induction due its role in translocating the PK3 kinase. This kinase initiates SLS by migrating to the nucleus and phosphorylating TRF4 leading to shut-off of SL RNA transcription. Thus, SKCRP7.1 is involved in SLS signaling and the accompanying PCD. The role of autophagy in SLS was also investigated; eliminating autophagy through VPS34 or ATG7 silencing demonstrated that autophagy is not essential for SLS induction, but is associated with PCD. Thus, this study identified factors that are used by the parasite to cope with ER stress and to induce SLS and PCD.

Catabolism of strigolactones by a carboxylesterase

Project description:Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived plant hormones that control shoot branching and communications between host plants and symbiotic fungi or root parasitic plants. Extensive studies have identified the key components participating in SL biosynthesis and signaling, whereas the catabolism or deactivation of endogenous SLs in planta remains largely unknown. Here we report that the Arabidopsis carboxylesterase 15 (AtCXE15) and its orthologues function as efficient hydrolases of SLs. We show that overexpression of AtCXE15 promotes shoot branching by dampening SL-inhibited axillary bud outgrowth. We further demonstrate that AtCXE15 could bind and efficiently hydrolyze SLs both in vitro and in planta. We also provide evidence that AtCXE15 is capable to catalyze hydrolysis of diverse SL analogues and that such CXE15-dependent catabolism of SLs is evolutionarily conserved in seed plants. These results disclose a catalytic mechanism underlying homeostatic regulation of SLs in plants, which also provides a rational approach to spatial-temporally manipulate the endogenous SLs and thus architecture of crops and ornamental plants.

Critical role for very-long chain sphingolipids in invariant natural killer T cell development and homeostasis

Project description:The role of sphingolipids (SLs) in the immune system has come under increasing scrutiny recently due to the emerging contributions that these important membrane components play in regulating a variety of immunological processes. The acyl chain length of SLs appears particularly critical in determining SL function. Here we show a role for very-long acyl chain SLs (VLC-SLs) in invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell maturation in the thymus and homeostasis in the liver. Ceramide synthase 2 (CerS2) null mice, which lack VLC-SLs, were susceptible to a hepatotropic strain of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, which is due to a reduction in the number of iNKT cells. Bone marrow chimera experiments indicated that hematopoietic-derived VLC-SLs are essential for maturation of iNKT cells in the thymus, whereas parenchymal-derived VLC-SLs are crucial for iNKT cell survival and maintenance in the liver. Our findings suggest a critical role for VLC-SL in iNKT cell physiology.

CerS2 dependent Sphingolipid - protein interactions in rat beta cell line Ins1E

Project description:To define the beta cell Sphingolipid-protein interactome, we performed a chemoproteomic screen in which a chemically modified SL precursor (photoactivatable and clickable sphingosine, pacSph) was fed to cells and rapidly incorporated into de novo synthesized SLs. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation covalently crosslinked cellular SL-protein complexes, allowing for cell lysis under harsh conditions, pulldown and subsequent MS-based identification and quantification of SL interacting proteins. CrispR/Cas9 knockout of the SL specific catabolic enzyme Sgpl1 ensured that only SLs are labelled with pacSph. Furthermore, stable isotope labelling allowed direct comparison of SBPs in several cell lines in the same MS run.

An Orobanche cernua x Orobanche cumana segregating population provides insight into the regulation of germination specificity in a parasitic plant

Project description:Germination of seeds of Orobanche species requires specific chemicals exuded by host roots. A family of “divergent” KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2d) genes encode proteins that recognize strigolactone (SL) class germination simulants. We explored specificity of germination stimulant detection by analyzing interspecific segregants of a cross between Orobanche cernua and O. cumana, closely related species that differ in stimulant response. O. cernua parasitizes tomato and germinates in response to the SL orobanchol, while O. cumana parasitizes sunflower and responds to dehydrocostus lactone (DCL). KAI2d genes were catalogued in parents and in segregants that showed stimulant specificity. KAI2d genes were also functionally assayed in the Arabidopsis kai2 mutant background. We identified five full-length KAI2d genes in O. cernua and eight in O. cumana. The O. cernua KAI2d2, as well as its ortholog in O. cumana, are associated with SL perception. A cluster of O. cumana KAI2d genes was genetically linked to DCL perception, although no specific receptor gene was identified by heterologous complementation. These findings support the KAI2d-mediated perception of SLs, but fall short of explaining how O. cumana perceives DCL. The ability of some O. cumana KAI2d genes to detect SLs points to the involvement of additional factors in regulating stimulant specificity.

Combining deep-sequencing, proteomics, phosphoproteomics and functional screens to discover novel regulators of sphingolipids homeostasis.

Project description:Sphingolipids (SLs) are essential components of cell membranes and broad-range bioactive signaling molecules. SL levels must be tightly regulated as imbalances affect cellular function and contribute to pathologies ranging from neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders to cancer and aging. Deciphering how SL homeostasis is maintained and uncovering new regulators are two key aspects for understanding lipid biology and defining opportunities for therapeutic interventions. Here we combine multiple systematic technologies to identify the changes of the transcriptome, proteome and phosphoproteome in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae upon SL depletion by myriocin. Surprisingly we find that SL depletion triggers only small changes on the expression and steady-state levels of regulatory proteins of SL homeostasis. However dramatic regulation occurs at level of the phosphoproteome suggesting that maintaining SL homeostasis demands rapid responses that cannot occur at the transcriptional level. To discover which of the phosphoproteomic changes are required for the cell’s first-line response to SL depletion and which are the bi-product of the cellular changes occurring following SL alterations, we combined the results with systematic growth screens for genes required during growth in myriocin when either mutated or overexpressed. By following the rate of SL biosynthesis in those candidates that are both essential for growth during myriocin and are phosphorylated in response to the drug we uncovered new regulators of SL homeostasis.

SLAMF1/CD150 regulates chemotaxis, autophagy and therapy responses in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients

Project description:This work shows that signaling-lymphocytic-activation-molecule-1 (SLAMF1), a co-stimulatory molecule and a microbial sensor, is expressed by normal CD19+/CD5+ B-lymphocytes. Its expression is lost in a subset of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) characterized by an aggressive form of the disease, with shorter time to first treatment and overall survival. Silencing of SLAMF1 in the CLL-like Mec-1 cell line (constitutively SLAMF1+) modulated pathways connected to cell migration, cytoskeletal organization and intracellular vesicle formation/recirculation. Loss of SLAMF1 was associated to increased expression of CXCR4, CD38 and CD44, positively affecting chemotactic responses to CXCL12. Ligation of SLAMF1 with an agonistic monoclonal antibody promoted the autophagic flux, by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and inducing phosphorylation of p38, JNK1/2 and bcl-2. The direct consequence was the assembly of the autophagy macro-complex that included SLAMF1, the scaffold protein Beclin1 and the enzyme Vps34. Consistently, SLAMF1-silenced cells or SLAMF1low primary CLL cells were resistant to autophagy-activating therapeutic agents, such as fludarabine or the BH3 mimetic ABT-737. These results indicate that loss of SLAMF1 expression modulates genetic pathways regulating chemotaxis and autophagy and potentially affecting drug responses, thus providing a likely explanation for the unfavorable clinical outcome experienced by this patient subset. Microarrays were performed comparing genetic signature of CLL-like Mec-1 cell line (constitutively SLAMF1+), transfected with a non-effective (scrambled) shRNA cassette (TR30013) used as control, and a Mec-1 variant generated silencing SLAMF1 gene using pGFP-V-RS construct for SLAMF1 shRNA (TG309422). For each cell line variants, grown in vitro in complete medium, three biological replicates were included in the chip.

Strigolactone and cytokinin act antagonistically in regulating rice mesocotyl elongation in darkness

Project description:Strigolactones have been defined as a new group of phytohormones that regulate shoot branching. Tthe phenotypes of strigolacton-related rice (Oryza sativa) dwarf (d) mutants demonstrated that SLs inhibit mesocotyl elongation by controlling cell division. Moreover, the trans-zeatin, one of active cytokinins, content of mesocotyls was increased in the SL-deficient d10-1 and SL-insensitive d14-1 mutants. To examine if there are genes related to cytokinin-biosynthesis or -degradation among the strigolactone-responsive genes expressed in the mesocotyl, we carried out microarray analyses using d10-1, d14-1 and the wild-type grown under dark conditions, with or without pretreatment of a synthetic strigolactone analog, GR24.

VPS34 regulates RAB7 activation and Retromer localization to autophagosomes and mitophagy in oocytes

Project description:To investigate the role of Vps34 during oocyte development, we crossed female Vps34f/f mice with Gdf9-Cre and Zp3-Cre male transgenic mice for Cre recombinase specifically in oocytes at either primordial or early growing stages. Our results revealed that Vps34 plays a key role in oocyte cytoplasmic maturation. In order to reveal the changes in oocyte transcriptome level caused by Vps34 deletion, we conducted transcriptome sequencing on oocytes at GV stage, MII stage and 2cell embryo of ZcKO, and analyzed the changes in transcripts at these three stages. Transcriptome sequencing results showed that the oocytes and 2cell embryos of ZcKO were enriched with a large number of transcription and transport-related differential genes, and the 2cell stage had the most differential genes, which was the key period for the occurrence of major ZGA. Further analysis of transcription-related genes revealed that the enriched major ZGA genes were all down-regulated in 2cell of ZcKO mice. In addition, differential genes involved in autophagy were enriched in ZcKO 2cell, with HPG abnormally increased. Autophagy is the main degradation pathways of maternal proteins in early embryonic development, and degradation of maternal proteins is necessary for the normal process of ZGA, which occurs prior to major ZGA and even during oocyte maturation, when defects appear to be irremediable later. These results suggest that Vps34 deletion leads to degradation inhibition of maternal factors and impaired major ZGA, leading to embryonic development arrest.

Foxd3 promotes the exit from naïve pluripotency and prevents germline specification through enhancer decommissioning [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Following implantation, mouse epiblast cells transit from a naïve to a primed state in which they are competent for both somatic and primordial germ cell (PGC) specification. Using mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) as an in vitro model to study the transcriptional regulatory principles orchestrating peri-implantation development, here we show that the transcription factor Foxd3 is necessary for the exit from naïve pluripotency and the progression to a primed pluripotent state. During this transition, Foxd3 acts as a repressor that dismantles a significant fraction of the naïve pluripotency expression program through the decommissioning of active enhancers associated with key naïve pluripotency and early germline genes. Subsequently, Foxd3 needs to be silenced in primed pluripotent cells to allow the reactivation of relevant genes required for proper PGC specification. Our findings uncover a wave of activation-deactivation of Foxd3 as a crucial step for the exit from naïve pluripotency and subsequent PGC specification. mRNA profiles were generated by RNA-seq in duplicates for each of the following mESC lines: Foxd3fl/fl;Cre-ER mESC maintained in "Serum+LIF" (SL) treated with TM for three days (SL Foxd3-/-); untreated Foxd3fl/fl;Cre-ER SL mESC (SL Foxd3fl/fl); tetON Foxd3 SL mESC treated with Dox for three days; WT SL mESC treated with Dox for three days; Foxd3fl/fl;Cre-ER mESC maintained in "2i+LIF" (2i) treated with TM for three days (2i Foxd3-/-); untreated Foxd3fl/fl;Cre-ER 2i mESC (2i Foxd3fl/fl).
