Proteomic analyses were carried out on isolated mitochondrial samples of C. albicans from gene-deleted mutants (nuo1Δ, nuo2Δ and goa1Δ) as well as the parental strain in order to better understand the contribution of these three fungal-specific mitochondrial ETC complex I (CI) subunits to cellular activities. Herein, we identify 2333 putative proteins from four strains, in which a total of 663 proteins (28.5%) are putatively located in mitochondria. Comparison of protein abundances between mutan ...[more]

Project description:The cell wall is essential for viability of fungi and is an effective drug target in pathogens such as Candida albicans. The contribution of posttranscriptional gene regulators to cell wall integrity in C. albicans is unknown. We show that the C. albicans Ccr4-Pop2 mRNA deadenylase, a regulator of mRNA stability and translation, is required for cell wall integrity. The ccr4/pop2 mutants display reduced wall β-glucans and sensitivity to the echinocandin caspofungin. Moreover, the deadenylase mutants are compromised for filamentation and virulence. We demonstrate that defective cell walls in the ccr4/pop2 mutants are linked to dysfunctional mitochondria and phospholipid imbalance. To further understand mitochondrial function in cell wall integrity, we screened a Saccharomyces cerevisiae collection of mitochondrial mutants. We identify several mitochondrial proteins required for caspofungin tolerance and find a connection between mitochondrial phospholipid homeostasis and caspofungin sensitivity. We focus on the mitochondrial outer membrane SAM complex subunit Sam37, demonstrating it is required for both trafficking of phospholipids between the ER and mitochondria and cell wall integrity. Moreover, in C. albicans also Sam37 is essential for caspofungin tolerance. Our study provides the basis for an integrative view of mitochondrial function in fungal cell wall biogenesis and resistance to echinocandin antifungal drugs. Two-color experimental design comparing cells with a double-knockout of the CCR4 genes to cells with a reintegrated CCR4 gene.

Project description:A constant communication between mitochondria and nucleus ensures cellular homeostasis and adaptation to mitochondrial stress. Anterograde regulatory pathways involving a large number of nuclear-encoded proteins control mitochondrial biogenesis and functions. Such functions are deregulated in cancer, resulting in proliferative advantages for cancer cells, aggressive disease and therapeutic resistance. Transcriptional networks controlling the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are known, however alternative splicing (AS) regulation has not been implicated in this communication. Here, we show that IQGAP1, a scaffold protein that regulates AS of distinct gene subsets in gastric cancer cells, participates in AS regulation that strongly affects mitochondrial respiration. Combined proteomic and RNA-seq analyses of IQGAP1KO and parental cells show that IQGAP1KO alters a specific AS event of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I (CI) subunit NDUFS4 and downregulates a subset of CI subunits. In IQGAP1KO cells, CI intermediates accumulate resembling assembly deficiencies observed in patients with Leigh syndrome bearing NDUFS4 mutations. Mitochondrial CI activity is significantly lower in KO compared to parental cells, while exogenous expression of IQGAP1 reverses mitochondrial defects of IQGAP1KO cells. Our work sheds light to a novel facet of IQGAP1 in mitochondrial quality control that involves fine-tuning of CI activity through AS regulation in gastric cancer.

Project description:Candida albicans is a normally commensal yeast which becomes pathogenic to human hosts under some conditions and specifically in immune compromised individuals. This contributes to a global health crisis of fungal disease. This yeast can morphologically adapt to the environment by reversibly developing hyphae which allows for traversing of tissue. Histone deacetylase 1 (Hda1) is involved in this transition as it is established that the deletion of the associated gene stunts this morphological switch. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae this protein complexes with two similarly named proteins: Hda2 and Hda3. Here we evaluate Candida albicans strains with mutations in the genes that code for these proteins. The strains are grown in yeast (YPD 30 °C) and hyphae (RPMI 37 °C) -inducing conditions for 90 minutes prior to RNA extraction. After alignment by HISAT2, the homozygous mutants are then individually compared to wildtype (matching growth conditions) using DESeq2.

Project description:The oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane secures production of the majority of ATP in mammalian organisms. Individual OXPHOS complexes form supramolecular assemblies termed supercomplexes. The complexes are linked not only by their function but also by interdependence of individual complex biogenesis or maintenance. For instance, cytochrome c oxidase (cIV, COX) or cytochrome bc1 complex (cIII) deficiencies affect the level of fully assembled NADH dehydrogenase (cI) in monomeric as well as supercomplex forms. It was hypothesized that cI is affected at the level of enzyme assembly as well as at the level of cI stability and maintenance. However, the true nature of interdependency between cI and cIV is not fully understood yet. We used a HEK293 cellular model where the COX4 subunit was completely knocked out, serving as an ideal system to study interdependency of cI and cIV, as early phases of cIV assembly process are disrupted. Total absence of cIV was accompanied by profound deficiency of cI, documented by decrease in the levels of cI subunits and significantly reduced amount of assembled cI. Supercomplexes assembled from cI, cIII and cIV were missing in COX4 KO due to loss of cIV and decrease in cI amount. Pulse-chase metabolic labelling of mtDNA-encoded proteins uncovered a decrease in the translation of cIV and cI subunits. Moreover, partial impairment of mitochondrial protein synthesis correlated with decreased content of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins. In addition, complexome profiling revealed accumulation of cI assembly intermediates indicating that cI biogenesis, rather than stability, was the affected process. We propose, that impairment of mitochondrial protein synthesis caused by cIV deficiency represents one of the mechanisms which may couple biogenesis of cI and cIV.

Project description:Candida glabrata is a common opportunistic fungal pathogen of humans, with the emergence of resitant strains being of particulary concern. The cell wall associated and secretory proteins are intrinsically involved in vital functions during the fungal-host interactions. These proteins are responsible for eliciting immune response in host during candidiasis and therefore can be a promising candidates for vaccine development. BALB/c mice were broadly divided into unimmunized, immunized groups and the designated groups were immunized with β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME) call wall extract, and secretory protein extract from C. glabrata via intraperitoneal route. All the animals were then challenged with a lethal dose of C. glabrata. Furthermore, we applied a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) -based approach for the characterization of β-ME extract and secretory protein extract from C. glabrata, which resulted in a comprehensive cell wall and secretory proteome map.portunistic fungal pathogen of humans, with the emergence of resitant strains being of particulary concern.

Project description:SMIP004-7 is a small molecule inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration with selective in vivo
anti-cancer activity through a yet unknown molecular target. We demonstrate here that
SMIP004-7 targets drug-resistant cancer cells with stem-like features by inhibiting
mitochondrial respiration complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, CI). Instead of
affecting the quinone binding site targeted by most CI inhibitors, SMIP004-7 and its
cytochrome P450-dependent activated metabolite(s) have an uncompetitive mechanism
of inhibition involving a distinct N-terminal region of catalytic subunit NDUFS2 that leads
to rapid disassembly of CI. SMIP004-7 and an improved chemical analog selectively
engage NDUFS2 in vivo to inhibit the growth of triple negative breast cancer transplants,
a response mediated at least in part by boosting CD4+ and CD8+ T cell-mediated immune
surveillance. Thus, SMIP004-7 defines an emerging class of ubiquinone uncompetitive CI
inhibitors for cell autonomous and microenvironmental metabolic targeting of
mitochondrial respiration in cancer.

Project description:The differentiation of cells into distinct cell types, each of which is heritable for many generations, underlies many biological phenomena. White and opaque cells of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans are two such heritable cell types, each thought to be adapted to unique niches within their human host. To systematically investigate the differences between the two cell types, we performed strand-specific massively-parallel sequencing of RNA from C. albicans white and opaque cells. Combining the resulting data from both cell types, we first substantially re-annotated the C. albicans transcriptome, finding 1443 novel coding and non-coding transcriptionally active regions. Using the new annotation, we compared differences in transcript abundance between the two cell types with the genomic regions bound by the master regulator of the white-opaque switch (Wor1). We found that the revised transcriptional landscape considerably alters our understanding of the circuit governing differentiation. In particular, we can now resolve the poor concordance between binding of the master regulator and the differential expression of adjacent genes, a discrepancy observed in many other studies of cell differentiation. More than one third of the Wor1-bound differentially-expressed transcripts were previously unannotated, which explains the formerly puzzling presence of Wor1 at these positions along the genome. Indeed, many of these newly identified Wor1-regulated genes are non-coding and transcribed antisense to coding transcripts. We also found that 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNAs in the circuit are unusually long and that 5' UTRs often differ in length between white and opaque cells. These observations suggest that the use of alternative promoters is widespread in the circuit and that important regulatory information is carried in the long UTRs. Further analysis revealed that the revised Wor1 circuit bears several striking similarities to the Oct4 circuit that specifies the pluripotency of mammalian embryonic stem cells. Additional characteristics shared with the Oct4 circuit suggest a set of general hallmarks characteristic of heritable differentiation states in eukaryotes. RNA-Seq was applied to Candida albicans white and opaque cells to identify novel transcripts and UTRs that are differentially regulated between the two cell types. Two biological replicates each of white and opaque cell cultures. One of the white cell RNA samples was split just after isolation to allow a comparison of the poly(A)-selection and ribo-depletion sample preparation strategies.

Project description:An array analysis of C. gattii (C. bacillosporus), intended to identify loci associated with the hypervirulence of the Vancouver Island Outbreak (VIO). 23 C. gattii isolates, representing both VIO strains and control strains, were grown for 24 hours in mammalian macrophages. RNA was isolated and gene expression for each strain quantified relative to pooled RNA from all 23 samples. Linear regression was used to identify loci showing positive or negative correlation with "intracellular proliferation rate", a proxy measure for virulence. Data from this analysis is included in Ma et al, 2009, PNAS 106(31) 12980-12985. The abstract is included below. In 1999, the population of Vancouver Island, Canada, began to experience an outbreak of a fatal fungal disease caused by a highly virulent lineage of Cryptococcus gattii. This organism has recently spread to the Canadian mainland and Pacific Northwest, but the molecular cause of the outbreak remains unknown. Here we show that the Vancouver Island outbreak (VIO) isolates have dramatically increased their ability to replicate within macrophages of the mammalian immune system in comparison with other C. gattii strains. We further demonstrate that such enhanced intracellular parasitism is directly linked to virulence in a murine model of cryptococcosis, suggesting that this phenotype may be the cause of the outbreak. Finally, microarray studies on 24 C. gattii strains reveals that the hypervirulence of the VIO isolates is characterized by the up-regulation of a large group of genes, many of which are encoded by mitochondrial genome or associated with mitochondrial activities. This expression profile correlates with an unusual mitochondrial morphology exhibited by the VIO strains after phagocytosis. Our data thus demonstrate that the intracellular parasitism of macrophages is a key driver of a human disease outbreak, a finding that has significant implications for a wide range of other human pathogens. Dual-colour hybridization (each sample was hybridized against pooled RNA), one array per isolate, 23 biological samples, no technical replicates.
