System-wide analyses reveal essential roles of N-terminal protein modification in bacterial physiology

ABSTRACT: Removal of the N-terminal formyl group on nascent proteins by peptide deformylase (PDF) is the most prevalent protein modification in bacteria that impacts over 90% of the proteome. PDF is essential and a critical target of antibiotic development; however, its role in bacterial physiology remains a long-standing question. In this work, we used system-wide and time-resolved analyses of the E. coli translatome and proteome to investigate the consequences of PDF inhibition at different stages. We found that PDF inhibition results in the rapid activation of cellular stress responses, especially those associated with defects in protein folding and perturbations at the bacterial inner membrane, followed by a global downregulation of metabolic pathways. Functional assays reveal the rapid hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane and impaired membrane integrity upon PDF inhibition, suggesting that disruption of plasma membrane is the most immediate and primary consequence of formyl group retention on nascent proteins. Our work resolves the physiological function of a ubiquitous N-terminal protein modification and uncovers its crucial role in maintaining the proper structure and function of the bacterial membrane.

ASCL1: a pioneer factor that induces subtype switching and characterizes adrenergic neuroblastoma

Project description:Neuroblastoma is an embryonic malignancy originating from early nerve cells. Neuroblastoma retains plasticity, interconverting between the mesenchymal (MES) and adrenergic (ADRN) states, which are controlled by different sets of transcription factors forming the core regulatory circuit (CRC). However, their functional roles and cooperative mechanisms in neuroblastoma pathogenesis are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of ASCL1 in MES neuroblastoma cells opens closed chromatin at the promoters of key ADRN genes, accompanied by epigenetic activation and establishment of enhancer-promoter interactions, thereby initiating subtype switching. ASCL1 inhibits the TGFb-SMAD2/3 pathway but activates the BMP-SMAD1-ID3/4 pathway, serving as negative feedback to balance the function of ASCL1-TCF12 dimers. ASCL1 and other ADRN CRC members potentiate each other’s activity, increasing the expression of the original targets and inducing a new set of genes, thereby promoting conversion to ADRN neuroblastoma. Thus, via its pioneer factor function, ASCL1 serves as a master regulator that characterizes ADRN neuroblastoma.

Phosphoproteomic Datasets for Mec1/ATR Signaling Upon Hyper-Resection

Project description:The Mec1/ATR kinase is crucial for genome maintenance, although the mechanisms by which it controls DNA repair pathways remain elusive. Here we uncovered a role for Mec1/ATR in controlling homologous recombination (HR) factors in response to hyper-resection of DNA ends. Cells lacking RAD9, a checkpoint activator and an inhibitor of resection, exhibit Mec1-dependent hyper-phosphorylation of proteins associated with single strand DNA transactions, including the ssDNA binding protein Rfa2, the translocase/ubiquitin ligase Uls1 and the HR-regulatory Sgs1-Top3-Rmi1 (STR) complex. Extensive Mec1-dependent phosphorylation of the STR complex, mostly on the Sgs1 helicase subunit, promotes an interaction between STR and the DNA repair scaffolding protein Dpb11.

Laboratory evolution of Escherichia coli enables life based on fluorinated amino acids

Project description:Organofluorine compounds are toxic to various living beings in different habitats. This usher the development of strategies based on the metabolic capacity of various fast-growing microbial strains to evolve an effective adaptation strategy for efficient environmental cleaning. We tackle this problem by trying to answer an essential question: can fluorinated amino acids be used as xenobiotics in general to build up biomass, or do large amounts of fluorine in the cells render them nonviable? To gain information about the effect of long-term exposure of a cellular proteome to fluorine, we constructed an experimental model based on bacterial adaptation in artificial fluorinated habitats. In particular, we propagated Escherichia coli (E. coli) in the presence of either 4- or 5-fluoroindole as essential precursors for the in situ synthesis of tryptophan (Trp) analogues. We found that full adaptation requires astonishingly few genetic mutations but is accompanied by large rearrangements in regulatory networks, membrane integrity and quality control of protein folding. These findings highlight the cellular mechanisms of the evolutionary adaption process and provide the molecular foundation for novel and innovative bioengineering of microbial strains potentially useful in bioaugmentation in fluorine-contaminated areas.

Proteomics identification and validation of desmocollin-1 and catechol-O-methyltransferase as proteins associated with breast cancer cell migration and metastasis

Project description:Biological treatment of many cancers currently targets membrane bound receptors located on a cell surface. To identify novel membrane proteins associated with migration and metastasis of breast cancer cells, we selected and characterized a more migrating subpopulation of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. We applied quantitative mass spectrometry with SILAC labeling to analyze their surfaceome and compared it with that of paternal MDA-MB-231 cells. Among 818 identified proteins (FDR < 0.01), 124 differentially abundant cell surface proteins with at least one transmembrane domain were found. Of these, (i) catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) was successfully verified as a protein associated with lymph node metastasis of triple negative breast cancer as well as tumor grade by targeted data extraction from the SWATH-MS data set of 96 breast cancer tissues, and (ii) desmocollin-1 (DSC1) was verified as a protein connected with lymph node status of luminal A breast cancer, tumor grade and Her-2 receptor by immunohistochemistry in the same set of patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis associated COMT and DSC1 with decreased overall survival in breast cancer subsets. Our findings indicate importance of both proteins for breast cancer development and metastasis

Proteomic analysis of ∆4-CYB complex III mutant cybrids

Project description:The mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) enzymes associate in supercomplexes (SC). This structural interdependency may explain why defects in a single component often produce combined enzyme deficiencies in patients. A point in case is the alleged destabilization of complex I in the absence of complex III. To clarify the structural and functional relationships between complexes, we have used comprehensive proteomic, functional and biogenetical approaches to analyze a MT-CYB-deficient human cell line.

Depletion Assisted Hemin Affinity (DAsHA) Proteomics Reveals an Expanded Landscape of Heme Binding Proteins in the Human Proteome

Project description:Heme b (iron protoporphyrin IX) plays important roles in biology as a metallocofactor and signaling molecule. However, the targets of heme signaling and the network of proteins that mediate the exchange of heme from sites of synthesis or uptake to heme dependent or regulated proteins are poorly understood. Herein, we describe a quantitative mass spectrometry-based chemoproteomics strategy to identify exchange labile hemoproteins in human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells that may be relevant to heme signaling and trafficking. The strategy involves depleting endogenous heme with the heme biosynthetic inhibitor succinylacetone (SA), leaving putative heme binding proteins in their apo-state, followed by the capture of those proteins using hemin-agarose resin and finally elution and identification by mass spectrometry. By identifying only those proteins that interact with high specificity to hemin-agarose relative to control beaded agarose in a SA-dependent manner, we have expanded the number of proteins and ontologies that may be involved in binding and buffering labile heme or are targets of heme signaling. Notably, these include proteins involved in chromatin remodeling, DNA damage response, RNA splicing, cytoskeletal organization and vesicular trafficking, many of which have been associated with heme through complementary studies published recently. Taken together, these results provide support for the emerging role for heme in an expanded set of cellular processes from genome integrity to protein trafficking and beyond.

eIF4A1 unwinding activity is RNA sequence-specifically deployed through eIF4A1-multimerisation to facilitate translation of mRNAs with local repressive RNA structure

Project description:Oncogenic translational programmes are an emerging hallmark of cancer and often driven by dysregulation of signaling pathways including KRAS and mTORC that converge on the eukaryotic translation initiation (eIF) 4F complex. Altered eIF4F activity promotes translation of oncogene mRNAs that typically contain highly structured 5’UTRs rendering their translation strongly dependent on RNA unwinding by DEAD-box helicase eIF4A1 subunit of the eIF4F complex. In addition, eIF4A1 separately functions to load mRNA into the 43S pre-initiation complex (PIC), an essential step for the translation of cellular mRNA. While eIF4A1-dependent mRNAs have been widely investigated, it is still unclear if highly structured mRNAs recruit and activate eIF4A1 unwinding specifically. Here, we uncover that unwinding by eIF4A1 is activated in an RNA sequence-dependent manner in cells. Our data demonstrate that eIF4A1-dependent mRNAs contain specific RNA sequences, particularly enriched for polypurine-motifs, in their 5’UTR which recruit and specifically stimulate unwinding of local repressive RNA structure by eIF4A1 in an RNA sequence-dependent manner to facilitate translation. Mechanistically, we show that polypurine-rich sequences trigger the formation of RNA sequence-specific multimeric eIF4A1-complexes, assembled of catalytically distinct eIF4A1 subunits, the joint activity of which enhances RNA unwinding activity. Together with our structural data, we describe a model in which conformational changes within eIF4A1 and the RNA through the process of eIF4A1 multimerisation, lead to an optimal interaction of eIF4A1-unwinding subunits with the structured RNA region which enhances unwinding. Hence, we conclude that RNA sequences in addition to protein cofactors contribute to the regulation of cellular eIF4A1 function and promotion of translation of eIF4A1-unwinding dependent mRNAs.
