Project description:We tracked the gene expression events following treatment of maize seedlings with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress agent tunicamycin. ER stress elicits the unfolded protein response (UPR) and when plants are faced with persistent stress, the UPR transitions from an adaptive or cell survival phase to programmed cell death.

Project description:Cancer cells consume large amounts of glucose because of their specific metabolic pathway. However, cancer cells exist in tumor tissue where glucose is insufficient. To survive, cancer cells likely have the mechanism to elude their glucose addiction. Here we show that functional mitochondria are essential if cancer cells are to avoid glucose addiction. Cancer cells with dysfunctional mitochondria, such as mitochondrial DNA-deficient rho0 cells and electron transport chain blocker-treated cells, were highly sensitive to glucose deprivation. Our data demonstrated that this sensitization was caused by failure of the unfolded protein response (UPR), an adaptive response mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This study suggests a link between mitochondria and the ER during the UPR under glucose deprivation conditions and that mitochondria govern cell fate, not only through ATP production and apoptosis regulation but also through modulating the UPR for cell survival. Human cancer cell lines (HT-1080, HT-29, and mtDNA-deficient cells derived from these cell lines) were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We examined the unfolded protein response (UPR), an adaptive response mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), of cancer cells under stress conditions.

Project description:The accumulation of unfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes stress and induces the unfolded protein response (UPR) which is characterised in part by the transcriptional induction of genes involved in assisting protein folding. Translational responses to ER stress have been less well described and here we report on a genome-wide analysis of translational regulation in the response to the ER stress-inducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although the observed polysome profiles were similar under control and ER stress conditions microarray analysis identified transcipt-specific translational regulation. Genes with functions in ribosomal biogenesis and assembly were translationally repressed under ER stress. In contrast mRNAs for known UPR genes, including the UPR transcription factor HAC1, the ER-oxidoreductase ERO1 and the ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) gene DER1 were enriched in polysomal fractions under ER stress conditions. In addition, we show that splicing of HAC1 mRNA is required for efficient ribosomal loading and that Gcn2p is required for normal HAC1 splicing, so shedding light on the role of this protein kinase in the UPR pathway. Experiment Overall Design: Polyribosomes were extracted from S. cerevisiae cells treated with 2 mM DTT or water (control), and fractionated according to ribosome loading. Following RNA purification from these fractions, for each sub-polysomal and polysomal RNA sample, fractions from three independent extracts per treatment (DTT/control) were pooled.

Project description:We are currently studying how these information-carrying oligosaccharides are involved in cellular stress responses, particularly in human genetic diseases called Congenital Disorders Of Glycosylation in which oligosaccharide assembly is defective. We are interested in endoplasmic stress responses/unfolded protein responses. ER glycans and ER lectins are intimately involved in the folding of ER proteins. Therefore, ER lectins and ER glycosyltransferases may be controlled by these stress responses, to produce and/or recognize key glycans in the stress response. Our model system is the human dermal fibroblast. We have successfully calibrated the ER stress responses in these cells by determining the magnitudes of various stress effects (such as chaperone transcription) with different forms of ER stress. We are also completing a study in which activation the signaling molecules Ire1 and ATF6 are also calibrated. We prepared multiple identical aliquots of RNA from cells stressed under several of these calibrated conditions. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR): Study of the role of ER stress in the expression of genes for ER transferases and lectins that participate in ER folding and quality control using human skin fibroblasts. The UPR response in these cells has been calibrated using various readouts in response to different stresses: 1) 40 nM L-azetidine-2-carboxylate (AZC) 1 hour, 2) 0.2 mg/ml castanospermine, 24 hours, 3) 2 mM Dithiothreitol (DTT), 20 minutes, 4) 100nm Thapsigargin (TG), 30 minutes, 5) 5 ug/ml tunicamycin, 5 hours, 6) untreated control cells

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR) couples cellular translation rates and gene expression to the protein folding status of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Upon activation, the UPR machinery elicits a general suppression of protein synthesis and activation of stress gene expression, which act coordinately to restore protein folding homeostasis. We report here that UPR activation promotes the release of signal sequence-encoding mRNAs from the ER to the cytosol as a mechanism to decrease protein influx into the ER. This release of mRNA begins rapidly, then gradually recovers with ongoing stress. Upon release into the cytosol, these mRNAs have divergent fates: some synthesize full-length proteins, while others are translationally inactive and retain nascent protein chains. Together, these findings identify the dynamic subcellular localization of mRNAs and translation as a regulatory feature of the cellular response to protein folding stress. Cells were treated with a timecourse of Thapsigargin or DTT, then fractionated and analyzed by mRNA-seq or ribosome profiling

Project description:The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) defines a condition called ER stress that induces the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR in mammalian cells attenuates protein synthesis initiation, which prevents the piling up of misfolded proteins in the ER. Mammalian cells rely on Protein Kinase RNA-Like Endoplasmic Reticulum Kinase (PERK) phosphorylation of eIF2alpha to arrest protein synthesis, however, plants do not have a PERK homolog, so the question is whether plants control translation in response to ER stress. We compared changes in RNA levels in the transcriptome to the RNA levels protected by ribosomes and found a decline in translation efficiency, including many UPR genes, in response to ER stress. The decline in translation efficiency is due to the fact that many mRNAs are not loaded onto polyribosomes (polysomes) in proportion to their increase in total RNA, instead some of the transcripts accumulate in stress granules (SGs). The RNAs that populate SGs are not derived from the disassembly of polysomes because protein synthesis remains steady during stress. Thus, the surge in transcription of UPR genes in response to ER stress is accompanied by the formation of SGs, and the sequestration of mRNAs in SGs may serve to temporarily relieve the translation load during ER stress.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a major signalling cascade acting in the quality control ofprotein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The cascade is known to play an accessory rolein a range of genetic and environmental disorders including neurodegenerative and cardiovasculardiseases, diabetes and kidney diseases. The three major receptors of the ER stress involved withthe UPR, i.e. IRE1a, PERK and ATF6, signal through a complex web of pathways to convey anappropriate response. The emerging behaviour ranges from adaptive to maladaptive depending on theseverity of unfolded protein accumulation in the ER; however, the decision mechanism for the switchand its timing have so far been poorly understood.
RESULTS:
Here, we propose a mechanism by which the UPR outcome switches between survival and death.We compose a mathematical model integrating the three signalling branches, and perform a comprehensivebifurcation analysis to investigate possible responses to stimuli. The analysis reveals threedistinct states of behaviour, low, high and intermediate activity, associated with stress adaptation, tolerance,and the initiation of apoptosis. The decision to adapt or destruct can, therefore, be understoodas a dynamic process where the balance between the stress and the folding capacity of the ER playsa pivotal role in managing the delivery of the most appropriate response. The model demonstratesfor the first time that the UPR is capable of generating oscillations in translation attenuation and theapoptotic signals, and this is supplemented with a Bayesian sensitivity analysis identifying a set ofparameters controlling this behaviour.
CONCLUSIONS:
This work contributes largely to the understanding of one of the most ubiquitous signalling pathwaysinvolved in protein folding quality control in the metazoan ER. The insights gained have direct consequenceson the management of many UPR-related diseases, revealing, in addition, an extended listof candidate disease modifiers. Demonstration of stress adaptation sheds light to how preconditioningmight be beneficial in manifesting the UPR outcome to prevent untimely apoptosis, and paves the wayto novel approaches for the treatment of many UPR-related conditions.
In the paper, PERKA refers to the amount of phosphorylated PERK monomer. However, it refers to the active complex in the model. The complex with the model parameterization is formed of 4 monomers (n=4). So, the value of PERKA should be multiplied by 4, in order to generate the figures in the paper (eg. Figure 12).
An additional parameter (tmr=10)) is used in the model. This parameter is not mentioned in the paper. The model values of kf(=10) and kr(=1) are not consistent with that of the paper (kf=100, kr=10, in the paper). However, this is corrected by the introduction of "tmr" in the model, which is multiplied with kf and kr to get the resulting values.
The term "tmr" was missing in the kinetic laws of the reactions reu7 and reu8, in the original model. This has been corrected as per the author's request.

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular defense mechanism against glucose deprivation, a cell condition that occurs in solid tumors. A key feature of the UPR is the activation of the transcription program that allows the cell to cope with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We used micoarrays to show that the UPR transcription program is disrupted by the antitumor macrocyclic compound versipelostatin (VST) and antidiabetic biguanides metformin, buformin and phenformin, depending on cellular glucose availability.
