Targeted stress granule regulation by engineering a non-catalytic O-GlcNAc transferase

ABSTRACT: Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic ribonucleoprotein condensates whose assembly is driven by multivalent interactions and liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of their component proteins and mRNAs. Related to multiple diseases, SGs are an ideal prototype to study cellular condensates. Understanding their regulatory factors and developing modulation methods are critical to therapeutic development. O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) has been implicated in SG regulation, while its function beyond O-GlcNAcylation remains unknown. Here, we identified OGT to suppress the LLPS of G3BP1, a key SG protein, and thereby SG assembly. Unexpectedly, this suppression is independent of the OGT enzymatic activity. Also, we repurposed OGT into an SG modulator by generating a fusion protein consisting of its N-catalytic domain and poorly understood intervening domain (NI), coupled with induced proximity modules, such as a nanobody. We demonstrate that this inhibitory effect is achieved via targeted protein immobilization, which rigidifies G3BP1 after prolonged stress. This modular, genetically encoded tool recognizes the domain organization of G3BP1, thus is generalizable to another four proteins featuring similar architecture, suppressing condensate formation with mobility reduction. We also applied this strategy for SG perturbations to reveal SG functions on cellular activities. Our work provides a novel strategy for general SG regulation by interfering material properties of critical SG proteins and offers insights into the cryptic non-catalytic function of OGT.

Gadd45β is critical for regulation of type I interferon signaling by facilitating G3BP-mediated stress granule formation

Project description:Stress granules (SGs) constitute a signaling hub that plays a critical role in type I interferon responses. Here, we report that growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible beta (Gadd45β) act as a novel positive regulator of SGs-mediated interferon signaling by targeting G3BP upon RNA virus infection. Gadd45β deficiency markedly impairs SG formation and SG-mediated activation of interferon signaling in vitro. Gadd45β knockout mice are highly susceptible to RNA virus infection and their ability to produce interferon and cytokines is severely impaired. Specifically, Gadd45β interacts with the RNA-binding domain of G3BP, leading to conformational expansion of G3BP1 via dissolution of its autoinhibitory electrostatic intramolecular interaction. The acidic loop 1- and RNA-binding properties of Gadd45β markedly increase the conformational expansion and RNA-binding affinity of the G3BP1-Gadd45β complex, thereby promoting assembly of SGs. These findings suggest a role for Gadd45β as a new component and critical regulator of G3BP1-mediated SG formation which facilitates RLR-mediated interferon signaling.

TRIM28-Mediated SUMOylation of G3BP1/2 Regulates Stress Granule Dynamics

Project description:Stress granules (SGs) are stress-induced membraneless organelles whose dynamics are tightly regulated by protein interactions and modifications. However, whether SUMOylation directly targets SG core proteins G3BP1/2 and which ligase is involved remains unclear. Capturing these key events while preserving SG integrity is challenging due to their transient and membraneless nature. To address this, we introduce a low-concentration formaldehyde crosslinking (lcFAX) method that stabilizes membraneless organelles, including G3BP1 SGs and TDP-43 nuclear bodies, enabling enhanced proteome identification. Importantly, we identify TRIM28 as a previously undefined SG-associated protein and reveal that TRIM28 SUMOylates G3BP1 at K287 and G3BP2 at K281, establishing a critical mechanism regulating SG dynamics that ultimately impacts cellular ROS and apoptosis. lcFAX-Seq also provides insights into the RNA composition of SGs. Altogether, lcFAX-MS uncovers the critical role of TRIM28-mediated SUMOylation in modulating SG dynamics, establishing lcFAX as a powerful tool for analyzing membraneless organelles and the underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Phase separation and stress granule association of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein

Project description:The current work identified the protein interactors of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid RNA binding protein (NCAP or N protein) in lung cancer A-549 cells, using a co-immunoprecipitation strategy, which is coupled with SILAC-based mass spec. A significant proportion of the identified NCAP interacting proteins included stress granule (SG) and immunoregulators. SG nucleator G3BP1 showed specific interaction wit NCAP in unstressed and oxidative- or heat-stressed cells. Following stress treatment, NCAP showed enhanced association with SGs. Recombinant NCAP exhibited in vitro liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS)to form liquid droplets. RNA stimulated NCAP to develop droplets in vitro and SG assembly in cells, and RNase A treatment completely blocked both of these functions. An RNA intercalating mitoxantrone disrupted NCAP assembly in SGs invitro and in cells. This study provides insight into the biological processes and biophysical properties of the SARS-CoV-2 NCAP and identifies a candidate way to target this protein.

G3BP2B stress granules regulate mRNA expression under ER stress [Riboseq_Exp3]

Project description:Stress granules (SGs) are macromolecular assemblies that form under cellular stress. Formation of these condensates is driven by the nucleation of proteins such as G3BPs. G3BPs are RNA-binding proteins that condense into SGs following translation shutoff during the integrated stress response (ISR). Three G3BP paralogs (G3BP1, G3BP2A, and G3BP2B) have been identified in vertebrates. However, the contribution of the different G3BP paralogs to stress granule formation and stress-induced gene expression changes are incompletely understood. Here, we identify a molecular tool to study G3BP condensation into SGs by mutating residue V11 of G3BPs. This conserved amino acid potentiates the G3BP-Caprin-1 complex, hence promoting SG assembly. Ribosome profiling revealed that disruption of G3BP condensation impacts mRNA levels and ribosome engagement during the ISR. Moreover, we found that G3BP2B preferentially condenses and promotes changes in mRNA expression under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Together, this work suggests that stress granule assembly promotes changes in gene expression under cellular stress, which is differentially regulated by G3BP paralogs.

G3BP1 translocates into mitochondria to impair MCU complex function and promotes NASH progression

Project description:Mitochondrial calcium signaling plays a critical role in mitochondrial homeostasis during non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) progression. Here, we report Ras‐GTPase activating protein SH3 domain‐binding protein 1 (G3BP1), a core protein of stress granule (SG), significantly upregulated in NAFLD/NASH patients, mouse models and palmitic acid-stimulated hepatocytes. Hepatocyte-specific G3BP1 deficiency attenuates NASH in two dietary mouse models. SG and the mitochondrial import protein TOM70 collaboratively mediate the translocation of G3BP1 to the mitochondria. G3BP1 interacts and stabilizes mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1) via inhibiting YME1L1-mediated degradation of MICU1, and also impedes MCU complex activity and assembly, leading to mitochondrial calcium overload. Moreover, metabolic stress suppresses TRIM25-mediated K63-ubiquitination of G3BP1 and subsequent SG disassembly. Pharmacological inhibition of G3BP1 impairs the G3BP1-MICU1 interaction and prevents mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance and NASH progression. Collectively, we uncover the significant role of mitochondrial G3BP1 in mitochondrial homeostasis and NASH progression, which provides a potential target for therapeutic interventions.

Roles of stress granule formation in cancer cell behaviors

Project description:Although several studies have reported that overexpression of certain SG proteins can enhance cancer progression, the role of SGs, per se, in this process has not been clearly determined. To address this issue, we expressed wild-type (EGFP-G3BP1) or mutant G3BP1 (EGFP-G3BP1-ΔNTF2, which lacks the G3BP dimerization domain) in G3BP1/2 knockout (KO) cells. G3BP is the most critical core protein for stress granule formation. The cells were then treated with either sodium arsenite (100 μM for 1 hour) or FAK inhibitor (FAKi, FAK14 at 20 μM for 4 hours) to induce stress granules. An EGFP-empty sample was also included as the negative control for the proteomic analysis in the experiment. Each sample was pulled down by GFP-trap system to identify SG components under these specific stress conditions.
