Identification of Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factors promoting Lgl1 phosphorylation in glioblastoma

Project description:The protein Lgl has key roles in the regulation of cell polarity. We have shown that Lgl is inactivated by hyperphosphorylation in glioblastoma as a consequence of PTEN loss and aberrant activation of the PI 3-kinase pathway; this contributes to glioblastoma pathogenesis both by promoting invasion and repressing glioblastoma cell differentiation. Lgl is phosphorylated by atypical protein kinase C in a complex with Par6 and either activated Cdc42 or activated Rac. Here we have investigated the role of specific Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factors in Lgl hyperphosphorylation in glioblastoma. We used CRISPR/Cas9 to knockout PREX1, a PI 3-kinase pathway-responsive Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor that is overexpressed in glioblastoma. Knockout of PREX1 in patient-derived glioblastoma cells resulted in a reduction in Lgl phosphorylation and this could be reversed by re-expressing PREX1. PREX1 knockout cells showed reduced motility and altered phenotype suggestive of partial neuronal differentiation; consistent with this, RNA-seq analyses of these cells identified sets of PREX1-regulated genes with roles in promoting cell motility and repressing neuronal differentiation. Knockout of PREX1 in glioblastoma cells derived from a second patient did not affect Lgl phosphorylation. These cells overexpressed a short isoform of the Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor TIAM1; knockdown of TIAM1 in PREX1-knockout cells from this patient reduced Lgl phosphorylation. These data show that PREX1 links aberrant PI 3-kinase to Lgl phosphorylation in glioblastoma, but that TIAM1 can also promote Lgl phosphorylation in a subset of patients. While this shows redundant mechanisms for Lgl phosphorylation, PREX1 appears to have a non-redundant role in glioblastoma cell motility, as this was impaired in PREX1 knockout cells from both patients.

Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase Regulates the Expression of GTPase Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEFs), GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), and Rho Guanine nucleotide disassociation inhibitors (GDI)

Project description:Extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3), which dismutases hydrogen peroxide to superoxide anion at cell membranes, mimics RAS oncogene action inducing primary cell immortalization at sustained low-level expression while high expression activates cancer barrier signaling through p53-p21 growth arrest pathway. We have previously demonstrated that the growth regulation of SOD3 occurs at the level of RAS and is mediated through non-transcriptional and transcriptional routes. Therefore, in the current work we assayed the growth suppressive mechanisms of SOD3 by characterizing the main signal transduction routes from the cell membrane into the nucleus. Based on our data robust over-expression of SOD3 in anaplastic thyroid cancer 8505c cells increased EGFR, RYK, ALK, FLT3, and EPHA10 tyrosine kinase receptor phosphorylation with consequent downstream SRC, FYN, YES, HCK, and LYN kinase activation. However, RAS pull-down experiment suggested lack of mitogen pathway stimulation that was confirmed by MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 Western blot. Interestingly, mRNA expression analysis indicated that SOD3 regulated in a dose dependent manner the expression of selected guanine nucleotide exchange factors (Rho GEF16, Ral GEF RGL1), GTPase activating proteins (ArfGAP ADAP2, Ras GAP RASAL1, RGS4), and Rho guanine nucleotide disassociation inhibitors (Rho GDI 2) therefore controlling the signal transduction through RAS GTPases to downstream signal transduction pathways. Our current data suggests a SOD3-induced activation of growth signal transduction is controlled in a dose dependent manner through GEF, GAP, and GDI.

Abscisic acid-induced degradation of Arabidopsis guanine nucleotide exchange factor requires calcium-dependent protein kinases, part 1

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) plays essential roles in plant development and responses to environmental stress. ABA induces subcellular translocation and degradation of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor RopGEF1 thus facilitating ABA core signal transduction. However, the underlying mechanisms for ABA-triggered RopGEF1 trafficking/degradation remain unknown. Studies have revealed that RopGEFs associate with receptor-like kinases to convey developmental signals to small ROP GTPases. However, how the activities of RopGEFs are modulated is not well understood. Type 2C protein phosphatases stabilize the RopGEF1 protein, indicating that phosphorylation may trigger RopGEF1 trafficking and degradation. We have screened inhibitors followed by several protein kinase mutants and find that quadruple mutant plants in the Arabidopsis calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) cpk3/4/6/11 disrupt ABA-induced trafficking and degradation of RopGEF1. Moreover, cpk3/4/6/11 partially impairs ABA inhibition of germination. Several CPKs interact with RopGEF1. CPK4 binds to and phosphorylates RopGEF1 and promotes the degradation of RopGEF1. CPK-mediated phosphorylation of RopGEF1 at specific N-terminal serine residues causes the degradation of RopGEF1 and mutation of these sites also compromises the RopGEF1 over-expression phenotype in root hair development in Arabidopsis. Our findings establish the physiological and molecular functions and relevance of calcium-dependent protein kinases in regulation of RopGEF1 and illuminate physiological roles of a CPK-GEF-ROP module in abscisic acid signaling and plant development. We further discuss that CPK-dependent RopGEF degradation during abiotic stress could provide a mechanism for down-regulation of RopGEF-dependent growth responses.

Comparison of gene expression profiles in naïve WT and Asc-null bone marrow derived dendritic cells

Project description:The adaptor protein ASC contributes to innate immunity through the assembly of caspase-1-activating inflammasome complexes. We demonstrate that ASC plays an inflammasome-independent cell-intrinsic role in adaptive immune cells. Asc-/- mice displayed defective antigen presentation by dendritic cells and lymphocyte migration due to impaired Rac-mediated actin polymerization. Genome-wide analysis showed that ASC, but not Nlrp3 or caspase-1, controls mRNA stability and expression of DOCK2, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that mediates Rac-dependent signaling in immune cells. DOCK2-deficient dendritic cells showed similar defective antigen uptake as Asc-/- cells. Ectopic expression of DOCK2 in ASC-deficient cells restored Rac-mediated actin polymerization, antigen uptake and chemotaxis. Thus, ASC shapes adaptive immunity independently of inflammasomes by modulating DOCK2-dependent Rac activation and F-actin polymerization in dendritic cells and lymphocytes. Three replicates of naïve WT and three replicates of Asc-/- bone marrow derived dendritic cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix HT MG-430 PM plate array.
