Project description:Targeting proximity labeling enzymes to specific cellular locations is a viable strategy for profiling subcellular proteomes with minimal perturbance to normal physiology. Here, we generate transgenic mice expressing a mitochondrial matrix-targeted ascorbate peroxidase (MTS-APEX2) to enable analysis of tissue-specific matrix proteomes. Desthiobiotin-phenol labeling of the mitochondrial proteome revealed 263 mitochondrial-localized proteins in mouse muscle tissues. Comparison with the MTS-APEX2-labeled proteome in HEK293T cells revealed enrichment in mitochondrial proteins related to energy production in the muscle tissues of transgenic mice. We found Reticulon 4 Interacting Protein 1(RTN4IP1) or Optic Atrophhy-10 (OPA10) was highly enriched in cardiac and soleus muscle and contained a strong mitochondrial matrix-targeting sequence. Structural analysis shows RTN4IP1 is an NADPH oxidoreductase with protein structure resembling quinone oxidoreductase (QOR) in bacterial species. Enzymatic activity assays, interactome analysis, and metabolite profiling confirmed that RTN4IP1 functions in coenzyme Q biosynthesis in the mitochondria. Due to reduced CoQ9 levels, Rtn4ip1-knockout C2C12 cells were vulnerable to oxidative stress and had decreased oxygen consumption rates and ATP production.

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic pathogen infecting humans and a variety of vertebrate animals. Secretory dense granule proteins (GRA) are important effectors that mediate host-parasite interactions and facilitate parasitism. Due to the wide host range, T. gondii needs diverse GRA proteins to accommodate parasite survival in different hosts. In this study, we used two proximity based protein labeling techniques to identify novel GRA proteins. Using GRA1 as bait, two transgenic strains expressing GRA1-BirA* or GRA1-APEX were used to biotinylate GRA candidate proteins. Using these methods, 90 proteins were identified by APEX based labeling and 56 by the BirA* approach. Twenty-three were identified by both techniques, among which 13 are known GRA proteins. In combination 98 novel GRA candidates were identified by these two approaches and 25 are known GRAs. The majority of them are only present in coccidian parasites and dispensable for parasite growth in vitro, they likely mediate interactions with hosts and play roles during animal infections.

Project description:Secretion of insulin by pancreatic β cells in response to glucose is central for glucose homeostasis, and dysregulation of this process is a hallmark of the early stages of diabetes. We utilized a tetracycline-inducible approach to investigate the immediate impact of a pulse of Sox17 expression on the insulin secretory pathway. Sox17 gain-of-function animals (Sox17-GOF) were generated using an Ins2-rtTA mouse line and a line in which Sox17 expression is regulated by the tetracycline transactivator (tetO-Sox17). Administering doxycycline to 16-week old mice resulted in Sox17 overexpression in mature β cells in the islets. In order to identify the molecular basis by which Sox17 regulates the secretory pathway in β cells, we performed microarray analysis on isolated islets following a 24-hour pulse of Sox17 overexpression. We chose to analyze a 24 hour pulse of Sox17 for islet pancreas RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays since it was sufficient to stimulate the insulin secretory pathway without causing changes in islet architecture.

Project description:Antibody-secreting plasma cells are the terminal stage of the B-cell lineage. Plasma cell differentiation requires a major resetting of gene expression to silence the B cell transcriptional program, whilst establishing secretory function and long-term survival. The transcription factors Blimp1 and Irf4 are essential for the initial differentiation of activated B cells to antibody-secreting cells, however their function in mature plasma cells remains elusive. We have found that while Irf4 was essential for plasma cell survival, Blimp1 was dispensable. Blimp1-deficient cells retained the unique plasma cell transcriptional signature, but lost the ability to secrete antibody or to maintain the characteristic size and ultrastructure of plasma cells. Blimp1 was required for full expression of many components of the unfolded protein response (UPR), including Xbp1 and Atf6, as well as for the appropriate processing of Igh mRNA. The overlap of Blimp1 and Xbp1 function was restricted to the UPR genes, with Blimp1 uniquely regulating activity of the mTOR pathway, plasma cell size and morphology. These studies establish Blimp1 as a major regulator of the UPR pathway that is also required for the unique metabolic requirements of plasma cells enabling the secretion of protective antibody. RNA-seq was performed on wild type, Blimp1-/- and Xbp1-/- mouse plasma cells. Between two to four biological replicates were generated and sequenced for each sample.

Project description:Brain postnatal development is characterized by critical periods of experience dependent remodeling. Maturation of local circuits inhibitory neurons terminate this period of enhanced plasticity. Astroglial cells are known to influence excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission as well as network activity through active signaling mechanisms. Although these can be developmentally regulated, the role of astrocytes in the timing of post-natal critical period is unknown. Here we show in the visual cortex that astrocytes con-trol the maturation of inhibitory neurons and thereby closure of the critical period. We uncover a novel underlying pathway involving regulation of the extracellular matrix that allows interneurons maturation via astroglial connexin signaling. We find that timing of the critical period closure is controlled by a marked upregulation of the astroglial protein connexin 30 that inhibits expression of the matrix degrading enzyme MMP9 through the RhoA-GTPase pathway. Our results thus demonstrate that astrocytes not only influ-ence neuronal activity but are also key elements in the experience–dependent wiring of brain circuits. Therefore, astrocytes represent a new cellular partner to consider in our understanding of the post-natal shaping of neuronal activities, hence providing a new target to alleviate malfunctions associated to im-paired closure of the critical period and settling of synaptic circuits.

Project description:Transplantation with low numbers of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), found in many of the publically accessible cryopreserved umbilical cord blood (UCB) units, leads to delayed time to engraftment, high graft failure rates, and early mortality in many patients. A chemical screen in zebrafish identified the prostaglandin compound, 16,16 dimethyl prostaglandin E2 (dmPGE2), to be a critical regulator of hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis. We hypothesized that an ex vivo modulation with dmPGE2 prior to transplantation would lead to enhanced engraftment by increasing the “effective” dose of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in cord blood. A phase I trial of reduced-intensity double UCB transplantation was performed to evaluate safety, rates of engraftment and fractional chimerism of dmPGE2 enhanced UCB units. To explore potential causes of the lack of enhanced efficacy in the first cohort, we characterized HSCs to determine whether the prostaglandin pathway was being activated under the ex vivo incubation conditions (4°C, 10µM dmPGE2, 60 minutes). Incubation conditions were identified (37°C, 10µM dmPGE2, 120 minutes) that maximize the activation of the prostaglandin pathway by dmPGE2 in human CD34+ cells. Isolated human CD34+ from umbilical cord blood were incubated ex vivo in Stem Span media with 10uM 16,16-dmPGE2 or DMSO. Two treatment conditions were evaluated (4 deg C for 1 hour, 37 deg C for 2 hours) with either 3 or 7 biological replicates at each condition. Total RNA was isolated post incubation and analyzed on Affymetrix microarrays for pathway activation.

Project description:Transient protein-protein interactions (PPIs), such as those between posttranslational modifying enzymes and their substrates, play key roles in cellular regulation, but are difficult to identify. Here we demonstrate the application of enzyme-catalyzed proximity labeling (PL), using the engineered promiscuous biotin ligase TurboID, as a sensitive method for characterizing PPIs in signaling networks. We show that TurboID fused with the GSK3-like kinase BIN2 or a PP2A phosphatase biotinylate their known substrate, the BZR1 transcription factor, with high specifically and efficiency. We optimized the protocol of biotin labeling and affinity purification in transgenic Arabidopsis expressing a BIN2-TurboID fusion protein. Subsequent quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis identified about three hundred proteins biotinylated by BIN2-TurboID more efficiently than the YFP-TurboID control. These include a significant subset of previously proven BIN2 interactors and a large number of new BIN2 interactors that uncover a broad BIN2 signaling network. Our study illustrates that PL-MS using TurboID is a powerful tool for mapping signaling networks in plants, and reveals broad roles of this GSK3-like kinase in cellular signaling and regulation.

Project description:Tumor cells with diverse phenotype and biological behaviors are influenced by stromal cells through secretory factors or direct cell-cell contact. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by extensive desmoplasia with fibroblasts as the major cell type. Here, we observed enrichment of myofibroblasts in juxta-tumoral position, where tumor cells gain epithelial-mesenchymal transition for invasion, that correlated with worsened prognosis in PDAC patients. Direct cell-cell contacts as forming heterocellular aggregates between fibroblasts and tumor cells were detected in primary pancreatic tumors and circulating tumor microemboli. Mechanistically, the overexpressed ATP1A1 of tumor cells binds to and reorganizes ATP1A1 of fibroblasts inducing calcium oscillations, NF-κB activation, and activin A secretion. Consequentially, either silencing ATP1A1 expression or neutralizing activin A secretion suppresses tumor invasion and colonization. Taken together, these results elucidate the mechanic interplay between tumor cells and the bound fibroblasts in PDAC progression, and provide opportunities for potential therapeutic strategy against tumor metastasis by blocking such interaction.

Project description:Expansion of beta cells from the limited number of adult human islet donors is an attractive prospect for increasing cell availability for cell therapy of diabetes. However, while evidence supports the replicative capacity of adult beta cells in vivo, attempts at expanding human islet cells in tissue culture resulted in loss of beta-cell phenotype. Using a genetic lineage-tracing approach we have provided evidence for massive proliferation of beta-cell-derived (BCD) cells within these cultures. Expansion involves dedifferentiation resembling epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Epigenetic analyses indicate that key beta-cell genes maintain a partially open chromatin structure in expanded BCD cells, although they are not transcribed. Here we report that BCD cells can be induced to redifferentiate by a combination of soluble factors. The redifferentiated cells express beta-cell genes, store insulin in typical secretory vesicles, and release it in response to glucose. The redifferentiation process involves mesenchymal-epithelial transition, as judged from changes in gene expression. Moreover, inhibition of the EMT effector SLUG using shRNA results in stimulation of redifferentiation. BCD cells also give rise at a low rate to cells expressing other islet hormones, suggesting transition through an islet progenitor-like stage during redifferentiation. These findings suggest that ex-vivo expansion of adult human islet cells is a promising approach for generation of insulin-producing cells for transplantation, as well as basic research, toxicology studies, and drug screening. Gene expression was studied in unexpanded islets (4 donors), expanded and dedifferentiated islet cells (4 donors), and re-differentiated islet cells (3 donors). The experiment was performed in 3 batches (see Date in the description table below).

Project description:The study deals with the elucidation of potential interaction partners of the intracellular domain of the transmembrane receptor Notch1, termed NICD. The NICD is released from the cytoplasmic tail of the Notch receptor by gamma-secretase treatment and translocated as a transcription factor to the nucleus. Here, virally transduced recombinant NICD constructs (wild-type and deltaEP hyperactive mutant) were employed for AP-MS with the aim of identifying novel NICD interactors in a murine T cell leukemia cell line.
