Project description:Changes in the location of g-tubulin ensure cell survival and preserve genome integrity. We investigated whether the nuclear accumulation of g-tubulin facilitates the transport of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) between the cytosolic and the nuclear compartment in mammalian cells. We found that the g-tubulin meshwork assists to the recruitment of PCNA to chromatin. Also, decreased levels of g-tubulin reduce the nuclear pool of PCNA. In addition, the g-tubulin C terminus encodes a PCNA-interacting peptide (PIP) motif, and a g-tubulin–PIP-mutant affects the nuclear accumulation of PCNA. In a cell-free system, PCNA and g-tubulin formed a complex. In tumors, there is a significant positive correlation between TUBG1 and PCNA expression. Thus, we report a novel mechanism that constitutes the basis for tumor growth by which the g-tubulin meshwork maintains indefinite proliferation by acting as an opportune scaffold for the transport of PCNA from the cytosol to the chromatin.

Project description:In a cell, g-tubulin establishes a cellular network of threads named g-string meshwork. However, the functions of this meshwork remain to be determined. We investigated the traits of the meshwork and show that g-strings have the ability to connect the cytoplasm and the nuclear DNA together. We also show that g-tubulin has a role in determining the positioning of PCNA during DNA-replication.

Project description:In a cell, g-tubulin establishes a cellular network of threads named g-string meshwork. However, the functions of this meshwork remain to be determined. We investigated the traits of the meshwork and show that g-strings have the ability to connect the cytoplasm and the mitochondrial DNA together. We also show that g-tubulin has a role in the maintenance of the mitochondrial meshwork and homeostasis as reduced levels of g-tubulin or impairment of its GTPase domain disrupts the mitochondria network and alters both their respiratory capacity and the expression of mitochondria-related genes. By contrast, reduced mitochondria number or increased protein levels of g-tubulin DNA-binding domain favour the association of g-tubulin with mitochondria. Our results demonstrate that g-tubulin is an important mitochondrial structural component that maintains the mitochondria meshwork, providing mitochondria with a cellular infrastructure. We propose that g-tubulin provides a cytoskeletal element that maintains mitochondria homeostasis and gives form to the mitochondria meshwork.

Project description:The balance between neutrophil survival and apoptosis must be tightly regulated to avoid exaggerated inflammatory responses. Cytosolic proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is involved in neutrophil survival and function, where it acts as a scaffold and associates with proteins involved in NADPH oxidase activation, cytoskeletal dynamics and metabolism. While the PCNA interactome has been characterized in neutrophils under homeostatic conditions, less is known about neutrophil PCNA in pathophysiological contexts. G-CSF is a cytokine produced in response to inflammatory stimuli, that regulates many aspects of neutrophil biology. Here we used neutrophils from G-CSF-treated haemopoietic stem cell donors (GD) as a model to understand the role of PCNA during inflammation. Proteomic analysis of the neutrophil cytosol revealed significant differences between GD and healthy donors (HD). PCNA was one of the most upregulated proteins in GD and the PCNA interactome was significantly different in GD compared to HD. Importantly, while PCNA associated with almost all enzymes involved in glycolysis in HD, these associations were decreased in GD. Functionally, neutrophils from GD had a significant increase in glycolysis compared to HD. Using p21 competitor peptides, we showed that PCNA negatively regulates neutrophil glycolysis in HD, but had no effect on GD neutrophils. These data demonstrate that G-CSF alters the PCNA scaffold, affecting interactions with key glycolytic enzymes and thus regulates glycolysis, the main energy pathway utilized by neutrophils. Taken together, we show PCNA is a key protein involved in neutrophil survival and glycolysis and may be instrumental in the reprogramming that neutrophils undergo in inflammatory or tumoral settings.

Project description:The essential roles of PCNA as a scaffold protein in DNA replication and repair are well established, while its more recently discovered cytosolic roles are less explored. Alpha-enolase (ENO1) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), important proteins in glycolysis and the Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP), respectively, both contain PCNA interacting motifs. Here we show reduced binding to PCNA when the PCNA interacting motif APIM in ENO1 is mutated. Mutant cells have lower ENO1 protein levels, have reduced glucose consumption, altered glycolytic metabolite and nucleoside phosphate pools and increased activation of the citric acid cycle (TCA) compared to parental cells. Treatment of a panel of haematological cell lines with a cell penetrating peptide containing APIM (ATX-101), lead to a metabolic shift with reduction in glycolytic metabolite and nucleoside phosphate pools as well reduced levels of ENO1 and 6PGD proteins. These results suggests that PCNA stabilize ENO1 and 6PGD, and that targeting PCNA reduce the glycolysis, PPP and nucleoside phosphate pools via destabilization of these proteins.
