Harnessing machine learning to unravel protein degradation in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: Degradation of intracellular proteins in Gram-negative bacteria regulates various cellular processes and serves as a quality control mechanism by eliminating damaged proteins. To understand what causes the proteolytic machinery of the cell to degrade some proteins while sparing others, we employed a quantitative pulsed-SILAC (Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino acids in Cell culture) method followed by mass spectrometry analysis to determine the half-lives for the proteome of exponentially growing Escherichia coli, under standard conditions. We developed a likelihood-based statistical test to findactively degraded proteins, and identified dozens of novel proteins that are fast-degrading. Finally, we used structural, physicochemical and protein-protein interaction network descriptorsto train a machine-learning classifier to discriminate fast-degrading proteins from the rest of the proteome. Our combined computational-experimental approach provides means for proteomic-based discovery of fast degrading proteins in bacteria and the elucidation of the factors determining protein half-livesand have implications for protein engineering. Moreover, as rapidly degraded proteins may play an important role in pathogenesis, our findings could identify new potential antibacterial drug targets

The role of RNF149 in the pre-emptive quality control substrate ubiquitination

Project description:Protein quality control is a continuous process in which a protein's folding status is constantly monitored. Mislocalized proteins (MLP), are processed by the various quality control pathways, as they are often misfolded due to inappropriate cellular surroundings. Polypeptides that fail to translocate into the ER due to an inefficient signal peptide, mutations or ER stress are recognized by the pre-emptive ER associated quality control (pEQC) pathway and degraded by the 26S proteasome. In this report we reveal the role of RNF149, a membrane bound E3 ligase in the ubiquitination of known pEQC substrates. We demonstrate its selective binding only to non-translocated proteins and its association with known pEQC components. Impairment in RNF149 function increases translocation flux into the ER and manifests in a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) phenotype, a pathological condition associated with pEQC impairment. Finally, the dynamic localization of RNF149 may provides a molecular switch to regulate pEQC during ER stress.

Fatty acid transport protein 2 interacts with ceramide synthase 2 to regulate ceramide synthesis

Project description:Dihydroceramide is generated via the action of (dihydro)ceramide synthases (CerSs), which use two substrates, namely sphinganine and fatty acyl CoAs. Sphinganine is generated via the sequential activity of two integral membrane proteins located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Less is known about the source of supply of the fatty acyl CoAs, although a number of cytosolic proteins in the pathways of acyl CoA generation have been shown to modulate ceramide synthesis via direct or indirect interaction with the CerSs. We now demonstrate, by proteomic analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins, that fatty acid transporter protein 2 (FATP2) (also known as very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase) directly interacts with CerS2 in mouse liver. Studies in cultured cells demonstrated that other members of the FATP family can also interact with CerS2, with the interaction dependent on both proteins being catalytically active. Transfection of cells with FATP1, FATP2 or FATP4 increased ceramide levels although only FATP2 and 4 increased dihydroceramide levels, consistent with their known intracellular locations. Finally, lipofermata, an FATP2 inhibitor which is believed to directly impact tumor cell growth via modulation of FATP2, decreased de novo dihydroceramide synthesis, suggesting that some of the proposed therapeutic effects of lipofermata may actually be mediated via (dihydro)ceramide rather than directly via acyl CoA generation

Large-scale proteomics analysis of five brain regions from Parkinson’s disease patients with a GBA1 mutation

Project description:Despite being the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, little is known about Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis. A number of genetic factors predispose towards PD, among them mutations in GBA1, which encodes the lysosomal enzyme acid-β-glucosidase. We now perform non-targeted, mass spectrometry based quantitative proteomics on five brain regions from PD patients with a GBA1 mutation (PD-GBA) and compare to age- and sex-matched idiopathic PD patients and controls. Only two proteins were differentially-expressed in all five brain regions whereas significant differences were detected between the brain regions, with changes consistent with loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and activation of a number of pathways in the cingulate gyrus, including ceramide synthesis. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation was inactivated to a larger extent in IPD samples compared to controls and to an even larger extent in PD-GBA. This is the first large-scale proteomics dataset generated for the study of PD-GBA.

The ribonuclease DISL-2 mediates piRNA degradation in C. elegans

Project description:The PIWI/piRNA pathway serves as a conserved RNA-directed immune mechanism that suppresses transposons and promotes fertility. The biogenesis of piRNAs has been extensively investigated since their discovery, yet the mechanisms governing piRNA degradation remain poorly understood. This study determines the half-lives of thousands of C. elegans piRNAs, revealing a broad range from less than 1 hour to over 20 hours. Notably, piRNAs with 3' terminal uridines are degraded faster than those with 3' guanines or cytosines, suggesting that 3' uridines induce nucleolytic degradation. We identify DISL-2, a 3' to 5' exoribonuclease, as a key enzyme responsible for degrading piRNAs with templated 3' uridines as well as non-templated 3' uridines added by Poly(U) polymerase PUP-1. Furthermore, DISL-2 acts as a quality control factor to target piRNAs that are improperly processed at their 3' ends. Together, our findings advance the understanding of piRNA homeostasis by determining piRNA half-lives and identifying factors involved piRNA decay.

A novel C-terminal DxRSDxE motif in ceramide synthases involved in dimer formation

Project description:Ceramide is synthesized via the ceramide synthases (CerSs), six of which have been identified in mammalian cells, with each using a unique subset of acyl-CoAs for ceramide synthesis. The CerSs are part of a larger gene family, the Tram-Lag-CLN8 (TLC) domain family. We now identify a unique, C-terminal motif, the DxRSDxE motif, which is only found in CerS and not in other TLC family members. Deletion of this motif in either CerS2-HA or in CerS6-Flag did not affect the ability of either to generate ceramide using both an in vitro assay and upon metabolic labeling, but deletion of this motif did affect the activity of CerS2-HA when co-expressed with CerS6-Flag. Surprisingly, transfection of cells with either CerS2-HA or CerS6-Flag lacking the motif did not result in changes in cellular ceramide levels. CerS2-HA and CerS6-Flag interact with each other, as shown by immunoprecipitation, but deletion of the DxRSDxE motif impedes this interaction. Moreover, proteomics analysis of cells transfected with CerS6Δ338-344-Flag indicated that deletion of the C-terminal motif impacted cellular protein expression, and in particular, levels of ORMDL1, a negative regulator of sphingolipid synthesis. We suggest that this novel C-terminus motif regulates CerS dimer formation and thereby impacts ceramide synthesis.

ProteasomeID: quantitative mapping of proteasome interactomes and substrates for in vitro and in vivo studies

Project description:Proximity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry enables in situ mapping of protein-protein interactions. Here, we have developed a strategy based on tagging of proteasomes with promiscuous biotin ligases and a newly generated mouse model to monitor the interactome of proteasomes in vivo. We demonstrate that biotin ligases can be incorporated in fully assembled proteasomes without negative impact on proteasome activity. Analysis of proteins labeled by tagged proteasomes retrieved more than half of the known proteasome-interacting proteins in a single mass spectrometry analysis, including assembly factors, activators and ubiquitin-cycle related proteins. We optimized the protocol for processing of proximity labeled samples to minimize contamination from streptavidin and implemented Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry for label-free analysis. We demonstrate the utility of our workflow by identifying novel proteasome-interacting proteins, charting interactomes across mouse organs, and showing that proximity-labeling can be used to identify both endogenous and small molecule-induced proteasome substrates.

DYRK1A regulates B cell class switch recombination through phosphorylation of MSH6

Project description:Effective protection from viral infections depends on the antibody-specific isotype. Here, we found that the protein kinase, DYRK1A, is essential for B cell-mediated protection from viral infection and vaccination through regulation of class switch recombination (CSR). Dyrk1a-deficient B cells were impaired in CSR activity in vivo and in vitro. Phospho-proteomic screens and kinase-activity assays identified MSH6, a DNA mismatch repair protein, as a direct substrate for DYRK1A, and deletion of a single phosphorylation site attenuated CSR. After CSR and germinal center seeding, DYRK1A was required for proper clonal expansion of antigen-specific B cells through attenuation of proliferation. These findings reveal DYRK1A-mediated biological mechanisms of antibody-mediated immune responses that may be used for manipulation in antibody-mediated autoimmunity

Cordycepin time course: Identification of unstable transcripts

Project description:mRNA degradation provides a powerful means for controlling gene expression during growth, development, and many physiological transitions in plants and other systems. Rates of decay help define the steady state levels to which transcripts accumulate in the cytoplasm and determine the speed with which these levels change in response to the appropriate signals. When fast responses are to be achieved, rapid decay of mRNAs is necessary. Accordingly, genes with unstable transcripts often encode proteins that play important regulatory roles. Although detailed studies have been carried out on individual genes with unstable transcripts, there is limited knowledge regarding their nature and associations from a genomic perspective, or the physiological significance of rapid mRNA turnover in intact organisms. To address these problems, we have applied cDNA microarray analysis to identify and characterize genes with unstable transcripts in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtGUTs). Our studies showed that at least 1% of the 11,521 clones represented on Arabidopsis Functional Genomics Consortium microarrays correspond to transcripts that are rapidly degraded, with estimated half-lives of less than 60 min. AtGUTs encode proteins that are predicted to participate in a broad range of cellular processes, with transcriptional functions being over-represented relative to the whole Arabidopsis genome annotation. Analysis of public microarray expression data for these genes argues that mRNA instability is of high significance during plant responses to mechanical stimulation and is associated with specific genes controlled by the circadian clock.
