Increased levels of the mitochondrial import factor Mia40 can prevent the aggregation of polyQ proteins in the cytosol

ABSTRACT: The formation of protein aggregates is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. Observations on patient material and model systems demonstrated links between aggregate formation and declining mitochondrial functionality, but the causalities remained unclear. We used yeast as model system to analyze the relevance of mitochondrial processes for the behavior of an aggregation-prone polyQ protein derived from human huntingtin. Induction of Q97-GFP rapidly leads to insoluble cytosolic aggregates and cell death. Although these aggregates impaired mitochondrial respiration only slightly, they interfered with efficient import of mitochondrial precursor proteins. Mutants in the import component Mia40 were hypersensitive to Q97-GFP. Even more surprising, Mia40 overexpression strongly suppressed the formation of toxic Q97-GFP aggregates both in yeast and in human cells. Based on our observations, we propose that the posttranslational import into mitochondria competes with aggregation-prone cytosolic proteins for chaperones and proteasome capacity. Owing to its rate-limiting role for mitochondrial protein import, Mia40 acts as regulatory component in this competition with direct relevance for cytosolic proteostatic stability. Thus, targeting Mia40 might offer exciting therapeutic potential in the future. In this dataset we analyzed the soluble proteome of wild type and Mia40 overexpression yeast cells in response to the expression of polyQ proteins.

Project description:Intracellular bacterial pathogens inject a cocktail of effector proteins into host cells to hijack diverse cellular processes and promote their survival and proliferation. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (STm) uses two Type 3 secretion system (T3SS) to deliver a suite of effector proteins into host cells, however, knowledge of their host-targets remains sparse. To systematically map STm effector-host protein-protein interactions (PPIs) during active infection, we generated a library of 32 STm strains expressing affinity-tagged effector proteins from their endogenous chromosomal loci. Tagged-effector strains were then used to infect macrophages or epithelial cells, and PPIs were detected by Affinity-Purification Quantitative Mass-Spectrometry (AP-QMS) under both native and cross-linking conditions. We recovered 25 previously described effector-host PPIs, along with 421 novel interactions across the two cell lines tested, as well as several effector-effector PPIs. While effectors converged on specific host cellular processes, which varied across cell types, most had multiple host targets. Using reciprocal co-immunoprecipitations, we could validated 13 out of 22 new PPIs, demonstrating an accuracy of at least 59% for the AP-QMS approach. To illustrate the utility of this resource for discovering novel infection biology, we first showed that SseJ and SseL cooperate to control cholesterol transport at the Salmonella Containing Vacuole (SCV) via the Niemann-Pick C1 protein (NPC1). Second, we uncovered that PipB directly binds and recruits the organelle contact site protein PDZD8 to the SCV. Third, we elucidated a novel mechanism whereby the effector kinase SteC promotes host actin bundling, by directly interacting and phosphorylating formin-like proteins. Overall, we provide a systems-wide host-bacterial pathogen physical interactome resource, to our knowledge the first in an infection context, with broad implications for effector function and cooperation.
