Novel proteomic approach (PUNCH-P) reveals cell cycle-specific fluctuations in mRNA translation

ABSTRACT: Monitoring protein synthesis is essential to our understanding of gene expression regulation, as protein abundance is thought to be predominantly controlled at the level of translation. Mass-spectrometric and RNA sequencing methods have been recently developed for investigating mRNA translation at a global level, but these still involve technical limitations and are not widely applicable. In this study, we describe a novel system-wide proteomic approach for direct monitoring of translation, termed puromycin-associated nascent chain proteomics (PUNCH-P), which is based on incorporation of biotinylated puromycin into newly synthesized proteins under cell-free conditions followed by streptavidin affinity purification and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Using PUNCH-P, we measured cell cycle-specific fluctuations in synthesis for >5000 proteins in mammalian cells, identified proteins not previously implicated in cell cycle processes, and generated the first translational profile of a whole mouse brain. This simple and economical technique is broadly applicable to any cell type and tissue, enabling the identification and quantification of rapid proteome responses under various biological conditions.

Project description:In mammalian cells transcription factors (TFs) preferentially bind sites contained in regions of high nucleosomal occupancy, as determined by nucleotide-dependent computational analysis. This observation suggests that nucleosomes may act as gatekeepers of TF binding sites. We hypothesized that in mammalian genomes the information controlling nucleosome assembly may partially coincide with the information that enables TFs to recognize cognate sites in cis-regulatory elements while ignoring the myriad of non-functional, randomly occurring consensus binding sites. This way, nucleosome-mediated masking would be coupled to TF binding site functionality. The hematopoietic master regulator Pu.1 maintained nucleosome depletion at macrophage-specific enhancers that were otherwise occupied by nucleosomes in other cell types and in reconstituted chromatin. We identified a minimal set of DNA sequence and shape features that predicted Pu.1 binding with 78% accuracy. The same features predicted nucleosome occupancy in cells where Pu.1 was not expressed with higher accuracy than specifically designed models. Control of nucleosome deposition by DNA sequence and shape features that also specify TF consensus site functionality may allow maintaining the gatekeeper function of nucleosomes during evolution of cis-regulatory elements. Chromatin immuno-precipitations of the transcription factor Pu.1 followed by multiparallel sequencing performed in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. Experiments carried out in cells infected either with a retroviral vector containing a short hairpin targeting Pu.1 or with the empty vector as control. The shPU.1 hairpin (sequence available upon request) was selected among five designed using a publicly available software (http://katahdin.mssm.edu/siRNA) and was cloned in a modified version of TtRMPVIR inducible retroviral vector (Genbank HQ456318) in which the puromycin resistance gene was inserted. The empty vector, containing an sh-Renilla sequence, was used as control.

Project description:Treatment of hematological malignancies by adoptive transfer of activated natural killer (NK) cells is limited by poor post-infusion persistence. We compared the ability of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-15 to sustain human NK cell functions following cytokine withdrawal to model post-infusion performance. In contrasts to IL-2, IL-15 mediated stronger signaling through the IL-2/15 receptor complex and provided functional advantages. Genome-wide analysis of cytosolic and polysome-associated mRNA revealed cytokine dependent differential mRNA levels and translation during cytokine activation but also that most gene expression differences were primed by IL-15 and only manifested after cytokine withdrawal. IL-15 augmented mTOR signaling, which correlated with increased expression of genes related to cell metabolism and respiration. Consistently, mTOR inhibition abrogated IL-15-induced functional advantages. Moreover, mTOR-independent STAT-5 signaling contributed to improved NK cell function during cytokine activation but not following cytokine withdrawal. The superior performance of IL-15 stimulated NK cells was also observed using a clinically applicable protocol for NK cell expansion. Finally, expression of IL-15 correlated with cytolytic immune functions in patients with B cell lymphoma and favorable clinical outcome. These findings highlight the importance of mTOR regulated metabolic processes for immune cell functions and argue for implementation of IL-15 in adoptive NK cell cancer therapy. Freshly isolated NK cells from 6 donors were activated with IL-2 or IL-15 for 48 hours, followed by cytokine withdrawal for 24 hours, resulting in four RNA samples per donor. From each sample, both the cytosolic as well as the polysomal fraction were collected. Donor 3 contains activation and post withdrawal data from two different donors due to poor RNA-quality obtained for some samples which did not allow for processing of the complete set of 6 donors (resulting in a total of 40 samples).

Project description:DZIP (DAZ-Interacting Protein) containing a C2H2 zinc-finger domain is expressed predominantly in human embryonic stem cells and fetal and adult germ cells; DZIP colocalizes with DAZ and/or DAZL proteins in these tissues. DZIP may associate with DAZ and its other cofactors in an RNA-binding protein complex that functions in both embryonic stem cells and germ cells. To identify mRNAs associated with human DZIP1 protein in HeLa cells, we used a modified Ribonucleoprotein-ImmunoPrecipitation Microarray (RIP-Chip).DZIP1 ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes were performed with 2 µg of anti-DZIP1 antibody (rabbit polyclonal, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA) bound to protein A-agarose beads (Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany). HeLa cells were lysed in polysome lysis buffer (Tris-HCl pH 7,4 15mM, MgCl2 15 mM, NaCl 0,3 M, 1% Triton X-100, 1 mM DTT, 100 U / ml RNase Out, PMSF 1mM and E64 10uM) for one hour at 4°C. Beads were washed, then buffer and cell lysate were added, and the reaction mixtures were tumbled for 2 hours at 4°C. After this incubation, the beads were thoroughly washed again with polysome lysis buffer and then either RNA extracted for microarray and RT-PCR experiments using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). To control for non-specifically enriched RNAs, identical IPs were performed with beads precoated with rabbit IgG as a negative control. RNA was processed for hybridization with GeneChip 3? IVT Express (Affymetrix - Santa Clara, USA), according to the manufacturers instruction. Briefly, cDNA was synthesized from immunoprecipitated RNA using reverse transcriptase followed by second strand synthesis to generate double-stranded cDNA. An in vitro transcription reaction was used to generate biotinylated cRNA. After purification and fragmentation, cRNA was hybridized onto GeneChip Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Post hybridization washes were preformed on an Affymetrix GeneChip® Fluidics Station 450. Arrays were scanned on an Affymetrix GeneChip® Scanner 3000. Scanned arrays were normalized using GCRMA in Partek software (Partek Incorporated. St. Louis, MO). Differentially enriched RNAs were found after performing One-way ANOVA analysis comparing immunoprecipitated samples against control samples. Final lists of genes were obtained by filtering the data from the statistical results according to fold enrichment more than 2 and false discovery rate (FDR 5%). DZIP IP and control IP samples were analyzed for each of 3 technical replicates.
