Project description:Telomere shortening rates must be regulated to prevent premature replicative senescence. TERRA R-loops become stabilized at critically short telomeres to promote their elongation through homology-directed repair (HDR), thereby counteracting senescence onset. Using a non-bias proteomic approach to identify telomere binding factors, we identified Npl3, an RNA-binding protein previously implicated in multiple RNA biogenesis processes. Using Chromatin- and RNA immunoprecipitation, we demonstrate that Npl3 interacts with TERRA and telomeres. Furthermore, we show that Npl3 associates to telomeres in an R-loop dependent manner, as changes in R-loop levels, e.g. at short telomeres, modulate the recruitment of Npl3 to chromosome ends. Through a series of genetic and biochemical approaches we demonstrate that Npl3 binds to TERRA and stabilizes R-loops at short telomeres, which in turn promotes HDR and prevents premature replicative senescence onset. This may have implications for diseases associated with excessive telomere shortening.

Project description:Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a growing health burden with rising incidence and limited therapeutic options. To define the role of the Tripartite Motif (TRIM) family in BLCA, we integrated multi-cohort transcriptomic analyses with functional and mechanistic validation. TRIM28 was identified as the most consistently upregulated TRIM member in BLCA and correlated with poor prognosis. TRIM28 depletion suppressed, whereas its overexpression enhanced, BLCA cell proliferation. Mechanistically, TRIM28 directly bound to PPARG and acted as a SUMO E3 ligase to catalyze SUMOylation of PPARG at Lys94 within a noncanonical YKYD motif. This modification impaired PPARG recognition by the E3 ubiquitin ligase STUB1, reduced ubiquitin–proteasome degradation, and stabilized PPARG protein. Stabilized PPARG transcriptionally activated cholesterol biosynthetic genes, including DHCR7 and DHCR24, reprogramming cholesterol metabolism to promote BLCA progression. In summary, we identify a TRIM28-PPARG SUMO-ubiquitin crosstalk axis that drives metabolic remodeling and tumor growth in BLCA, highlighting TRIM28-mediated PPARG SUMOylation as a potential therapeutic target for metabolic intervention.

Project description:SIZ1, a major plant SUMO E3 ligase, has diverse roles in development and immunity. Although loss-of-function studies have positioned SIZ1 as a negative immune regulator, the pleiotropic effects of its broad substrate repertoire may obscure its core function. Here we report that SIZ1 overaccumulation unexpectedly triggers robust pro-immune responses and cell death, dependent on its E3 ligase activity. We demonstrate that SIZ1 functionally converges on the MOS4-Associated Complex (MAC), a key immune signaling module, with both SIZ1 and the immune receptor SNC1 recruited to MAC-dependent nuclear condensates (MDNCs) upon pathogen challenge. These condensates serve as essential platforms for potentiating immune activation and cell death. Within the MDNC, SIZ1 promotes SUMOylation and stabilizes MAC components, thereby sustaining MDNC integrity during immune responses. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized pro-immune role for SIZ1 and establish a mechanistic link between SUMOylation, MAC stability, and condensate-mediated immune signaling in plants.

Project description:Transient brain ischemia massively activates global SUMOylation. A large fraction of SUMO targets are nuclear proteins involved in gene expression. However, gene expression profile modulated by ischemia-induced SUMOylation has not been studied. Using a SUMO knockdown (SUMO-KD) mouse model and microarray technique, we investigated how SUMOylation modulated gene expression after brain ischemia. Wild-type and SUMO-KD mice were subjected to transient forebrain ischemia or sham surgery. The hippocampal CA1 subfield samples collected at 3 hours reperfusion were analyzed using Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Post-translational modification (PTM) events generate proteoforms that orchestrate cell signalling in almost every biological process. The SUMOcode project aims to understand a critically important but understudied PTM in plants, SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier). The rules governing specificity and function remain rudimentary for most PTMs, but the plant SUMO system provides a unique possibility to unravel the rules governing SUMOylation, as its core machinery comprises only 33 genes in Arabidopsis, compared with many hundreds for other PTMs. Our central hypothesis is that SUMO specificity is conferred through how cells are primed to respond to different stress signals, the tissue and cellular spatial distribution of SUMO machinery and substrates and control of SUMOylation modification via activation, repression and competition for PTM sites. Given the small numbers of genes involved in SUMOylation, we are in an excellent position to test our hypothesis employing state of the art multi-omics technologies to create the first SUMO Cell Atlas of any organism. Our ultimate goal is to 'enable' researchers and breeders to decipher the SUMO code in plants, enabling them to edit and rewrite the code, to develop crops that are future proofed against ongoing climate instability and change.

Project description:Skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction is secondary to T2DM and can be improved by long-term regular exercise training Mitochondrial dysfunction has long been implicated to play a causative role in development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, a growing number of recent studies provide data that mitochondrial dysfunction is a consequence of T2DM development. The aim of our study is to clarify in further detail the causal role of mitochondrial dysfunction in T2DM by a comprehensive ex vivo analysis of mitochondrial function combined with global gene expression analysis in muscle of pre-diabetic newly diagnosed untreated T2DM subjects and long-standing insulin treated T2DM subjects compared with age- and BMI-matched controls. In addition, we assessed the impact of long-term interval exercise training on physical activity performance, mitochondrial function and glycemic control in long-standing insulin-treated T2DM subjects. Ex vivo mitochondrial density, quality and functioning was comparable between pre-diabetic subjects and matched controls, however, gene expression analysis showed a switch from carbohydrate toward lipids as energy source in pre-diabetes subjects. In contrast, long-term insulin treated T2DM subjects had slightly decreased mitochondrial density and ex vivo function. Expression of Krebs cycle and OXPHOS related genes were decreased, indicating a decreased capacity to use lipids as an energy source. The insulin-treated T2DM subjects had a lower physical activity level than pre-diabetic and normoglycemic subjects. A 52 weeks exercise training of these subjects increased submaximal oxidative efficiency, increased in vivo PCr recovery rate, as well as mildly increased in vitro mitochondrial function. Gene expression of β-oxidation, Krebs cycle and OXPHOS-related genes was increased. Our data demonstrate that mitochondrial dysfunction is rather a consequence than a causative factor in T2DM development as it was only detected in overt diabetes and not in early diabetes. Regular exercise training stabilized exogenous insulin requirement and improved mitochondrial functioning, fatty acid oxidation and general physical work load capacity in long-standing insulin-treated T2DM subjects. As such, the present study shows for the first time that long-term exercise interventions are beneficial in this group of complex diabetes patient and may prevent further metabolic deterioration. Insulin-treated T2DM subjects before and after 52 weeks of exercise training (T2DM_0 and T2DM_52), normoglycemic controls (NGT) and pre-diabetes subjects (IGT) and were selected. RNA was extracted from skeletal muscle biopsies and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Steady state levels of SUMO post-translational modifications depend on the competing activities of the sumoylation and desumoylation machineries. Eukaryotic cells can modulate cellular levels of SUMO conjugation by regulating enzymes involved in these processes. For example, budding yeast exhibit an overall elevation of SUMO conjugation in response to heat shock, at least partly by triggering the degradation of the major SUMO protease, Ulp1. The effects of elevated sumoylation during heat shock, and whether they play a protective or adaptive role to the stress, remain unclear. Since a large number of transcription-related proteins are targets of sumoylation, one possibility is that increased sumoylation during heat shock facilitates the expression of heat shock genes by altering the properties of key transcription factors. To explore this, we analyzed the transcriptome of a yeast strain, ulp1-mt (ulp1-I615N), which expresses a mutant form of Ulp1 with reduced SUMO protease activity. The strain displays constitutively elevated levels of SUMO conjugation, mimicking the transient sumoylation surge observed during heat shock. Intriguingly, the ulp1-mt transcriptome largely resembles the transcriptome of heat-shocked yeast, suggesting that elevated sumoylation alone can drive much of the stress-induced gene expression program.

Project description:Loss of nutrient supply elicits alterations of the SUMO proteome and sumoylation is crucial to various cellular processes including transcription. However, the physiological significance of sumoylation of transcriptional regulators is unclear. To begin clarifying this, we mapped the SUMO proteome under nitrogen-limiting conditions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Interestingly, several RNA polymerase III (RNAPIII) components are major SUMO targets under normal growth conditions, including Rpc53, Rpc82, and Ret1, and nutrient starvation results in rapid desumoylation of these proteins. These findings are supported by ChIP-seq experiments that show that SUMO is highly enriched at tDNA genes. Furthermore, RNA-seq experiments revealed that preventing sumoylation results in significantly decreased tRNA transcription. TORC1 inhibition resulted in the same effect, and our data indicate that the SUMO and TORC1 pathways are both required for robust tDNA expression. Importantly, tRNA transcription was strongly reduced in cells expressing a non-sumoylatable Rpc82-4KR mutant, which correlated with a misassembled RNAPIII transcriptional complex. Our data suggest that in addition to TORC1 activity, sumoylation of RNAPIII is key to reaching full translational capacity under optimal growth conditions.
