Hypomorphic mutations in PLAA cause an infantile neurodevelopmental syndrome by disrupting synaptic protein turnover through multivesicular body dysfunction

ABSTRACT: During endosomal trafficking, the ubiquitin-status of membrane-bound protein cargo determines whether it is recycling to the surface or trafficked through intermediate multivesicular bodies (MVBs) for lysosomal degradation. Neurons, particularly their synapses, are extremely sensitive to perturbations in endolysosomal transport. We describe a lethal severe neurodevelopmental disorder (characterised by limb hypertonia, central hypotonia, progressive spasticity, seizures, secondary microcephaly and no developmental progress) in seven infants from three kindreds with a homozygous G23V PLAA mutation. PLAA is an ubiquitiously expressed and highly conserved ubiquitin-binding adaptor protein implicated in proteostasis. A mouse Plaa knockout was embyonically lethal but using CRISPR gene editing we recreated an allelic G23V series of Plaa mouse mutants leading to early onset neural dysfunction and death. Unlike in yeast, mammalian Plaa mutant cells do not globally affect free ubiquitin homeostasis but show defects in the capture and processing of ubiquitinated-membrane cargo for concentration into functional MVBs disrupting basal macroautophagy.

Proteomic profiling of ubiquitylated proteins in urinary exosomes

Project description:Exosomes, derived from multivesicular bodies (MVBs), contain proteins and genetic materials from their cell of origin and are secreted from various cells types, including kidney epithelial cells. In general, it is thought that protein cargo is ubiquitylated, but that ubiquitin is cleaved by specific deubiquitylases during the process of cargo incorporation into MVBs. Here, we provide direct evidence that in vivo, deubiquitylation is not essential. Ubiquitin was detected within human MVBs and urinary exosomes by electron microscopy. Protein mass spectrometry identified >6000 proteins in human urinary exosomes, 15% of which were ubiquitylated with various topologies (K63>K48> K11>K6>K29>K33>K27). Ubiquitylated proteins involved in transcriptional regulation or solute transport were significantly enriched. Non-biased analysis of over-represented motifs uncovered a significant preference for basic amino acids upstream of the ubiquitylation site. The current studies demonstrate that in human epithelial cells, deubiquitylation of protein cargo is not necessary for MVB formation and exosome secretion and highlight that urinary exosomes are an enriched source for studying ubiquitin modifications in physiological or disease states.

Extracellular vesicles isolated from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons contain a transcriptional network

Project description:Healthy brain function is mediated by several complementary signalling pathways, many of which are driven by extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are heterogeneous in both size and cargo and are constitutively released from cells into the extracellular milieu. They are subsequently trafficked to recipient cells, whereupon their entry can modify the cellular phenotype. Here, in order to further analyse the mRNA and protein cargo of neuronal EVs, we isolated EVs by size exclusion chromatography from human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons. Electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering revealed that the isolated EVs had a diameter of 30-100 nm. Transcriptomic and proteomics analyses of the EVs and neurons identified key molecules enriched in the EVs involved in cell surface interaction (integrins and collagens), internalisation pathways (clathrin- and caveolin-dependent), downstream signalling pathways (phospholipases, integrin-linked kinase and MAPKs), and long-term impacts on cellular development and maintenance. Overall, we show that key signalling networks and mechanisms are enriched in EVs isolated from human iPSC-derived neurons.

ECM deposition is driven by caveolin1-dependent regulation of exosomal biogenesis and cargo sorting

Project description:The composition and physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influence tumor progression, but the molecular mechanisms underlying ECM layering are poorly understood. Tumor-stroma interaction is critically dependent on cell-cell communication mediated by exosomes, small vesicles generated within multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Here, we show that caveolin-1 (Cav1) is a central modulator of both exosome biogenesis and exosomal protein cargo sorting through the regulation of cholesterol content at the endosomal compartment/MVBs. Quantitative proteomics profiling revealed that Cav1 is required for exosomal sorting of ECM protein cargo subsets including tenascin-C (TnC), and for fibroblast-derived exosomes to efficiently depose ECM and promote tumor cell invasiveness. Cav1-driven exosomal ECM deposition not only promotes local stromal remodeling, but also the generation of distant ECM-enriched stromal niches. These results support a model by which Cav1 is a central regulatory hub for tumor-stroma interactions through a novel exosome-dependent ECM deposition mechanism.

Proteomic signature of NPC1 KO microglia from conditional KO mice

Project description:Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder mainly caused by autosomal recessive mutations in Npc1 which result in abnormal late endosomal/lysosomal lipid storage. Although microgliosis is one of the prominent pathological features, consequences of NPC1 loss on microglial function and disease outcome remain largely unknown. Here, we provide an in-depth characterization of microglial proteomic signatures and phenotypes in an NPC1-deficient (Npc1-/-) murine model. We demonstrate that microglial defects, including enhanced phagocytosis and impaired lipid trafficking, occur early in the NPC pathological cascade and precede neuronal death. Compromised microglial function during Npc1-/- mouse development is reflected by enhanced synaptic pruning and deficient turnover of myelin. Accumulation of the undigested myelin occurs mainly within multi-vesicular bodies (MVBs) of Npc1-/- microglia and not within lysosomes. This is in agreement with the impairments in recycling of myelin into lipid droplets. Macrophages of NPC patients displayed similar molecular and functional alterations as murine Npc1-/- microglia, strengthening the role of NPC1 in immune homeostasis. Generated ex vivo assays using patient macrophages are novel promising clinical tools to monitor the progression and therapeutic efficacy in NPC patients.

Expression data from adult rat tail MNs after spinal cord transection

Project description:Spinal cord injury leads to impaired motor and sensory functions. After spinal cord injury there is a an initial phase of hypo-reflexia followed by a developing hyper-reflexia, often termed spasticity. Previous studies have suggested a relationship between the reappearence of plateau potentials in motor neurons and the development of spasticity after spinalization. To understand the molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon we examined the transcriptional response of the motor neurons after spinal cord injury. We used a rat tail injury model where a complete transection of the caudal (S2) rat spinal cord leads to an immidate flaccid paralysis of the tail and a subsequent appearence of spasticity 2-3 weeks post injury that develops into strong spasticity after 2 months. Gene expression changes were studied in motor neurons 21 and 60 days after complete spinal transection where the tail exhibits clear signs of spasticity.

Time series gene expression data from adult rat tail MNs following spinal cord transection

Project description:Spinal cord injury leads to impaired motor and sensory functions. After spinal cord injury there is a an initial phase of hypo-reflexia followed by a developing hyper-reflexia, often termed spasticity. Previous studies have suggested a relationship between the reappearence of plateau potentials in motor neurons and the development of spasticity after spinalizaion. To understand the moleclar mechanism behind this pheneomona we examined the transcriptional response of the motor neurons after spinal cord injury as it progress over time. We used a rat tail injury model where a complete transection of the caudal (S2) rat spinal cord leads to an immidate flaccid paralysis of the tail and a subsequent appearence of spasticity 2-3 weeks post injury that develops into strong spasticity after 2 months. Gene expression changes were studied in motor neurones 0, 2, 7, 21 and 60 days after comlete spinal transection.
