Project description:The methylation of residues within histones plays a central role in regulating genome function; however, little is known about the biological importance of a-N-terminal histone methylation. Here we explored the function of the previously uncharacterized a-N methylation of mammalian histone 2B proline 1 (H2BP1me). Genome-wide analyses revealed an enrichment of H2BP1 methylation at certain transposable elements (TEs) and repetitive genomic sequences. We identified a novel histone methyltransferase, METTL9, which specifically methylates H2BP1. Depletion of METTL9 led to reduced H2BP1me2 levels, an accumulation of gH2A.X, expression activation of some TEs, and increased retrotransposition of a human LINE-1 containing a reporter gene; the latter being a unique feature amongst histone modifiers described to date. These data suggest that reduced H2BP1 methylation may lead to increased TE activity and genome instability. Indeed, decreased levels of H2BP1 methylation in colon tumors correlated with an increase in LINE-1 protein expression. Furthermore, METTL9 depletion in cultured cells led to an enhancement of cellular proliferation, invasion, and migration, suggesting that a loss of H2BP1 methylation could play a role in cancer progression. Thus, we have identified a new role for H2BP1 N-terminal histone methylation in regulating chromatin function and perhaps disease progression, thereby highlighting the role of METTL9 as a novel guardian of genomic stability.

Project description:Over the past decade, membrane vesicles, known as exosomes, have garnered significant attention due to their potential as natural nanocarriers. Recently, it was discovered that plants also release extracellular vesicles (EVs). Yet, our understanding of EV production in plant cell culture remains limited. In this study, we used callus culture of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to isolate and comprehensively characterize EVs emanating from cultivated cells. Our findings reveal that the quantity of EVs in calli was significantly lower than in the plant's apoplastic fluid. This discrepancy is linked to the transcriptional repression of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) genes. While salicylic acid elevated the expression of ESCRT components, it did not boost EV production. Remarkably, EVs from calli encompass proteins pivotal for cell wall biogenesis and defense mechanisms, as well as microRNAs consistent with those in intact plants. This indicates that plant cell cultures might be a viable source of EVs reflecting the properties of the parent plant species. Nevertheless, additional research is crucial to pinpoint the optimal conditions for efficient EV production.

Project description:METTL9 is an enzyme catalysing histidine N1-methylation (1-MH). Given the high levels of this methyltransferase during vertebrate nervous system development, we dissected the roles of Mettl9 during this relevant physiological process. We generated three mouse embryonic stem cell lines featuring a complete Mettl9 knock-out, an inducible degron system, and the endogenous expression of a catalytically inactive protein. Additionally, we employed Xenopus laevis to down-regulate Mettl9 during neural development in vivo. Our multi-omic data indicate that METTL9 exerts a conserved role in sustaining vertebrate neurogenesis. Surprisingly, both perturbation of METTL9 catalytic activity and depletion of METTL9 protein levels without affecting global 1-MH levels show milder neural commitment defects, suggesting a role for both METTL9 catalytic and non-enzymatic activities. These converge towards the secretory pathway, where METTL9 co-localises with the Golgi apparatus and interacts with key regulators of cellular transport, endocytosis and Golgi integrity.

Project description:Histidine (His) residues are methylated in various proteins, but their roles and regulation mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we showed that CARNMT1, a known His methyltransferase of dipeptide carnosine (βAla-His), is the major protein His N-position-specific methyltransferase. ProSeAM labeling and proteomic analysis revealed that 52 His sites in 20 proteins underwent CARNMT1-mediated methylation. The consensus methylation site for CARNMT1 was identified as Cx(F/Y)xH, which is a C3H zinc finger (C3H-ZF) motif. CARNMT1-deficient and catalytically-inactive mutant mice showed embryonic lethality. Among the CARNMT1-target C3H-ZF proteins, RNA degradation mediated by Roquin and TTP was affected by CARNMT1 and its enzymatic activity. Furthermore, splicing factor, U2AF1’s 3’-splice site recognition was perturbed and pre-mRNA alternative splicing (AS) was also affected by CARNMT1 deficiency. These findings indicate that CARNMT1-mediated protein His methylation, which is essential for embryogenesis, plays roles in diverse aspects of RNA metabolism by targeting C3H-ZF-type RNA-binding proteins and modulating their functions, including pre-mRNA AS and regulation of mRNA degradation.

Project description:Here we present an approach to identify N-linked glycoproteins and deduce their spatial localization using a combination of MALDI N-glycan MSI and spatially-resolved glycoproteomics. We subjected glioma biopsies to on-tissue PNGaseF digestion and MALDI-MSI and found that the glycan HexNAc4-Hex5-NeuAc2 was predominantly expressed in necrotic regions of high-grade canine gliomas. To determine the underlying sialo-glycoprotein, various regions in adjacent tissue sections were subjected to microdigestion and manual glycoproteomic analysis. Results identified haptoglobin as the protein associated with HexNAc4-Hex5-NeuAc2, making our study the first report that directly links glycan imaging with intact glycopeptide identification. In total, our spatially-resolved glycoproteomics technique identified over 400 N-, O-, and S- glycopeptides from over 30 proteins, demonstrating the diverse array of glycosylation present on the tissue slides and the sensitivity of our technique. Ultimately, this proof-of-principle work demonstrates that spatially-resolved glycoproteomics greatly complement MALDI-MSI in understanding dysregulated glycosylation.

Project description:Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) derived from seminal plasma have achieved considerable attention due to their potential role in male reproductive physiology and pathology. In this study, we employed a comprehensive proteomic and transcriptomic approach to investigate the molecular signatures of EVs isolated from human seminal plasma. EVs from Normozoospermic (NORMO,15), OligoAsthenoTeratozoospermic (OAT,12) and Azoospermic (AZO,12) subjects, were isolated by an in house modified polymer precipitation-based protocol and characterized for their size and morphology by NTA and TEM. Full proteomic analysis, by gel-free and gel-based approaches, revealed distinct protein profiles in each group, highlighting potential molecules and pathways implicated in sperm function and fertility. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis confirmed the trend of general down-regulation of AZO and OAT groups compared to NORMO offering insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying sperm development and function. Bioinformatic tools were applied for functional Omics analysis; integration of proteomic and transcriptomic data provided a comprehensive understanding of the cargo content and regulatory networks. This study contributes to elucidating the key role of EVs in the paracrine communication regulating spermatogenesis. The full understanding of these pathways not only suggests potential mechanisms regulating male fertility but also offers new insight for the development of diagnostic tools targeting male reproductive disorders.

Project description:Groupers (Epinephelidae) are ecologically, commercially, and culturally important predatory fishes throughout their global distribution range in tropical, subtropical and occasionally temperate regions. They are key species for modern and ancient fisheries in the Mediterranean which have been heavily overfished in the past century leading to smaller catch sizes, lower CPUE, and decreased biomass. There are four species of grouper native to the Mediterranean within the Epinephelus genus.The abundance and distribution of grouper species prior to the 20th century in the Mediterranean remains poorly known. Using peptide mass fingerprinting, also known as Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS), we investigated if ZooMS is a viable method for identifying intra-genus grouper bones to species level. Due to the lack of publicly available genomic sequences and for validation of ZooMS markers, we reconstructed collagen type I amino acid sequences using LC-MS/MS for four Epinephelus spp. Adequate variation between collagen sequences enabled the production of the best supported phylogenetic tree for Mediterranean Epinephelus spp. to date. We identified 23 previously undescribed ZooMS biomarkers capable of distinguishing groupers to the species level. Our novel biomarkers were applied to a case study of 23 grouper/comber fish bones from the Middle to Late Holocene archaeological site of Kinet Höyük, located along the coast of Iskenderun Bay, Turkey. ZooMS markers enabled species level identification of 19 bones with 18 identified as Epinephelus aeneus and 1 identified as Epinephelus marginatus. Combining ZooMS identifications with catch size reconstructions has revealed that E. aeneus is capable of growing ca. 30 cm larger than previously reported. This abundance and dominance of E. aeneus locally at Kinet Höyük is consistent with E. aeneus being the most prevalent grouper species in Iskenderun Bay today, testifying to several millennia of this species local population persistence despite fishing pressure, habitat degradation, and climatic changes.

Project description:Nearly 50% of cutaneous melanomas carry activating mutations on the BRAF oncogene, and the combination of BRAF- and MEK-inhibitors (BRAF/MEKi) is frequently used for their clinical management. One major drawback of BRAF/MEKi targeted therapy is the rapid development of therapeutic resistance, which can occur via multiple mechanisms, including the metabolic rewiring of cancer cells that often involves the upregulation of mitochondrial bionergetics and NAD+ biosynthetic pathways. mTORC2 is a signaling complex that requires the presence of its essential RICTOR subunit to play its regulatory functions in cell growth and metabolism. mTORC2 is believed to play mostly pro-oncogenic roles in several tumor types, including melanoma. However, bioinformatics analysis of TCGA melanoma patients’ database revealed that low RICTOR levels in tumors correlate with an overall worse clinical outcome. GSEA analysis of low-RICTOR tumors evidenced also a gene expression signature suggestive of activation of mitochondrial energy producing pathways. On these bases, we have hypothesized that inhibition of mTORC2 activity may render BRAFV600E melanoma cells resistant to BRAFi/MEKi. We show here that RICTOR/mTORC2-deficient cells are intrinsically tolerant to BRAFi/MEKi, and anticipate the onset of resistance to BRAFi after sustained drug exposure both in vitro and in vivo, indicating that mTORC2 activity normally opposes the acquisition of targeted therapy resistance in BRAFV600E melanomas. Mechanistically, RICTOR-deficient cells show an enhanced mitochondrial respiratory potential and increased expression of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) protein, the rate-limiting enzyme of NAD+ salvage pathway, and pharmacological inhibition of these processes in RICTOR-deficient cells is sufficient to restore sensitivity to BRAFi. Thus, our work identifies a novel role for mTORC2 in favoring the responses of BRAF-mutated melanoma cells to targeted therapy, and suggest that the evaluation of the intratumor level of RICTOR may help to predict the responses of melanoma patients to these treatments.

Project description:The genome sequencing of the tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus revealed a unique nucleo-some-binding protein, named Damage Suppressor (Dsup), which resulted to be crucial for the extraordinary abilities of tardigrades in surviving extreme stresses, such as UV. Evidence in Dsup transfected human cells suggests that Dsup mediates an overall response of DNA damage signaling, DNA repair and cell cycle regulation resulting in an acquired resistance to stress. Given these promising outcomes, our study attempts to provide a wider comprehension of the molecular mechanisms modulated by Dsup in human cells, and to explore the Dsup-activated molecular pathways under stress. We performed a differential proteomic analysis of Dsup-transfected and control human cells, under basal condition and at 24-hour recovery after exposure to UV-C. We demonstrate by enrichment and network analyses, for the first time, that even in the absence of external stimuli and more significantly after stress, Dsup activates mech-anisms involved with the Unfolded Protein Response, the mRNA processing and stability, cyto-plasmic stress granules, the DNA Damage Response and the telomere maintenance. In conclu-sion, our results shed new light on Dsup-mediated protective mechanisms, and increase our knowledge of the molecular machineries of extraordinary protection against UV-C stress.
