Project description:Adjacent plant cells are connected by specialized cell wall regions, called middle lamellae, which influence critical agricultural characteristics, including fruit ripening and organ abscission. Middle lamellae are enriched in pectin polysaccharides, specifically homogalacturonan (HG). Pectins are made in the Golgi apparatus by the coordinated action of transporters and enzymes. Here, in this project, we identify a plant-specific Arabidopsis DUF1068 protein, called NKS1/ELMO4, that is required for middle lamellae integrity and cell adhesion. We did an immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) analysis to identify potential interactors of NKS1. And we also performed an IP-MS analysis of QUA1, which is one of the interactors of NKS1.

Project description:Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, has a complex life cycle occurring between triatomine insects (responsible for the vectorial transmission of the infection) and mammals. Inside the insect vector, epimastigote forms (proliferative, non-infective to mammals) differentiate into metacyclic trypomastigotes forms (non-proliferative, infective to mammals). This differentiation process happens at the final portion of insect vector’s gut and it is crucial for the progress of T. cruzi life cycle. Factors that play a role in metacyclogenesis include temperature, pH and nutritional stress followed by availability of specific metabolites. Previous results showed that some amino acids such as Pro, His and Gln are able to fully support cell differentiation whereas the BCAAs completely block it. In addition, combination of the “pro-metacyclogenic” amino acid Pro with one of the “anti-metacyclogenic” BCAAs produces viable metacyclics, however, with a drastically reduced infectivity. In order to investigate the peculiarities of metacyclic parasites differentiated in the presence of BCAAs, we performed proteomics analyses to compare metacyclics obtained in triatomine artificial urine (TAU) supplemented with Pro alone and in combination with Leu, Ile or Val. Our analyses revealed that when compared to the metacyclics originated in TAU-Pro, 40 proteins are differentially regulated in metacyclics from TAU-Pro-Leu, whereas 131 and 179 are differentially regulated in TAU-Pro-Ile and TAU-Pro-Val, respectively. From each group, 22, 11 and 13% of the proteins are putatively related to metabolic processes, respectively. Overall, enzymes involved in both glycolysis and TCA cycle are reduced in metacyclics obtained in the presence of Pro-BCAAs whereas enzymes involved in amino acid and purine metabolic pathways are increased. In addition, metacyclics obtained in the presence of Pro-Ile and Pro-Val have enzymes involved in lipid and redox metabolism increased. Together our analyses indicate that metacyclics obtained in the presence of BCAA can have their metabolism reshaped, which in turn can contribute to the reduced infectivity observed in these parasites.

Project description:The post-translationally acylated Repeats in ToXins (RTX) leukotoxins, such as the adenylate cyclase (CyaA) or α-hemolysin (HlyA), bind β2-integrins of leukocytes, but also penetrate cells lacking these receptors. We show that the indole of conserved tryptophans within the acylated segments, e.g. W876 in CyaA and W579 in HlyA, is crucial for β2-integrin-independent membrane penetration of toxins. Substitutions of W876 by aliphatic or aromatic residues did not affect acylation, folding or activities of CyaA W876L/F/Y toxin variants on CR3-expressing cells. In contrast, toxin activity of CyaA W876L/F/Y on cells lacking CR3 was strongly impaired. Similarly, a W579L substitution selectively reduced HlyA W579L cytotoxicity towards cells lacking β2-integrins. Intriguingly, the W876L/F/Y substitutions increased the thermal stability (Tm) of CyaA by 4 to 8 °C. In addition, the hydrogen-deuterium exchange revealed structural changes in the acylated segment of the CyaA W876F variant, compared to intact CyaA. The substitution of W876 with a polar glutamine (W876Q), not increasing the Tm, or combining of the W876F substitution with a cavity-filling V822M substitution, decreasing the Tm of CyaA W876F+V822M to a value closer to that of CyaA, yielded a milder defect of toxin activity on erythrocytes lacking CR3. Furthermore, the activity of CyaA was selectively impaired on erythrocytes when the interaction of the pyrrolidine of P848 with the indole of W876 was ablated. These results suggest that the bulky indole of the W876 of CyaA, or W579 of HlyA, rules the local structural flexibility of the acylated segment. This may facilitate adoption of a membrane-penetrating conformation of the toxins in the absence of β2-integrin-mediated positioning of the toxin towards the cell membrane.

Project description:Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was first identified as a human pathogen in 2012 and causes ongoing sporadic infections and outbreak clusters. Despite case fatality rates (CFRs) of over 30% and the pandemic potential associated with betacoronaviruses, a safe and efficacious vaccine has not been developed for prevention of MERS in at-risk individuals. Here we report the design, in vitro characterization, and preclinical evaluation of MERS-CoV antigens. Our lead candidate comprises a stabilized spike ectodomain displayed on a self-assembling ferritin nanoparticle that can be produced from a high-expressing, stable cell pool. This vaccine elicits robust antibody titers in BALB/c mice as measured by MERS- CoV pseudovirus and live-virus neutralization assays. Immunization of non-human primates (NHPs) with a single dose of Alhydrogel-adjuvanted vaccine elicits >103 geometric mean titer (GMT) of pseudovirus neutralizing antibodies that can be boosted with a second dose. These antibody levels are durable, with GMTs that surpass the post-prime levels for more than 5 months post-boost. Importantly, sera from these NHPs exhibit broad cross-reactivity against lentiviruses pseudotyped with spike proteins from MERS-CoV clades A, B, and C as well as a more distant pangolin merbecovirus. In transgenic mice expressing human DPP4, immunization provided dose-dependent protection against MERS-CoV lethal challenge, and in an established alpaca challenge model, immunization fully protected against MERS-CoV infection. This protein-based MERS-CoV nanoparticle vaccine is a promising candidate for advancement to clinical development to protect at-risk individuals and for future use in a potential outbreak setting.

Project description:P. falciparum blood stage parasites maintain an intricate system of membranes, requiring precise mechanisms of lipid synthesis and trafficking. Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) at interorganelle membrane contact sites (MCSs) have emerged as key for ensuring proper lipid distribution in cells but so far remain largely unexplored in protozoans. In many cases this involves the ER which is a central hub for lipid synthesis and contacts all other organelles. In this project, we used the ER adaptor VAP, which recruits LTPs in other organisms, to identify essential mechanisms of lipid transfer at ER-MCSs in P. falciparum blood stages. Using proximity biotinylation techniques, combined with LC-MS/MS, proteins in proximity to P. falciparum VAP (PfVAP) were identified. The raw data for these experiments is here deposited. Using microscopy and cell biology techniques the proteins identified as hits through this experiment were filtered to uncover direct interacting partners of PfVAP, of which one was a bridge-like LTP homologous to opisthokont VPS13, hence renamed PfVPS13L1. This protein folds as a ~22nm rod with an internal hydrophobic groove that allows bulk flow of lipids between two adjacent membranes and localizes to hotspots within the inner membrane complex (IMC), a de novo generated organelle required for proper schizogony. While the ER-resident PfVAP binds the N-terminal end of the PfVPS13L1 bridge, we hypothesized its C-terminal end binds early IMC membranes. To confirm this, we performed another proximity biotinylation experiment to label proteins in proximity to the C-terminal end of PfVPS13L1, and identified several known IMC proteins as hits. The raw data for this experiment is deposited here as well. Further studies of parasites with PfVPS13L1 loss of function revealed a defect in IMC membrane extension and parasite segmentation, which in turn led to the complete inhibition of parasite propagation in RBCs. Our data supports a model in which PfVPS13L1 is critical for the formation of invasive stages by mediating bulk flow of lipids from the ER to the growing IMC. This function is homologous to what was previously reported for other VPS13 or VPS13-like opisthokont proteins, where their functions include the expansion of the isolation membrane during autophagosome formation or the expansion of the sporulation membrane during yeast meiosis. Our study thus reveals that bulk transfer of lipids via bridge-like LTPs is a conserved mechanism for membrane expansion throughout eukaryotes, including protozoa.In the files uploaded, the code P3190 corresponds to the DiQ-BioIDof PfVAP (Fig. 2b), and P3872 and P3754 to DiQ-BioID of C-terminal PfVPS13L1 (Fig. 4g and Extended Data Fig. 7c, respectively).

Project description:Cereblon (CRBN) is the target of thalidomide derivatives that achieve therapeutic efficacy against some hematologic neoplasias by recruiting neosubstrates for degradation. Despite the intense investigation of orthosteric thalidomide derivatives, little is known about alternate binding sites on CRBN. Here, we report the discovery of an evolutionarily conserved cryptic allosteric binding site on CRBN. Small molecule SB-405483 binds the allosteric site to cooperatively enhance the binding of orthosteric ligands and alter their neosubstrate degradation profiles. A survey of over 100 orthosteric ligands and their degradation targets reveals trends in the classes of compounds and neosubstrates where degradation outcomes are enhanced or inhibited by SB-405483. Structural investigations provide a mechanistic basis for the effects of the allosteric ligand by shifting the conformational distribution of CRBNopen to a novel CRBNint and increasing the CRBNclosed state. The discovery of a cryptic allosteric binding site on CRBN that alters the functional effects of orthosteric ligands opens new directions with broad implications for improving the selectivity and efficacy of CRBN therapeutics.

Project description:Mitochondria are platforms for important processes including mitochondrial fusion and fission, protein and lipid transport, cytoskeletal trafficking, and the activation of mitophagy, apoptosis, and innate immune responses. How cells regulate the assembly of protein complexes at the mitochondrial surface to control these dynamic functions is incompletely understood. Here, we show that ARMC1 shuttles between the cytosol and distinct mitochondrial complexes. The assembly of ARMC1 with Miro, MTFR, and TMEM11 links together mitochondrial trafficking and shaping activities and is essential for MTFR stability. In another complex, ARMC1 engages, via MTCH2, DNAJC11, which facilitates ARMC1 recycling back into the cytosol. Disrupting the balance of ARMC1 between these complexes leads to aberrant cellular mitochondrial distributions. Thus, the stability and function of the Miro-MTFR complex is regulated by ARMC1, whose mito-cytoplasmic shuttling via DNAJC11 tunes mitochondrial dynamics. Our findings provide a paradigm for protein complex regulation through the spatial control of a linchpin subunit.

Project description:Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) are a group of debilitating visual disorders characterized by the progressive degeneration of photoreceptors, which ultimately lead to blindness. Among the causes of this condition, mutations in the PCYT1A gene, which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for phosphatidylcholine (PC) de novo synthesis via the Kennedy pathway, have been identified. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the association between PCYT1A mutations and IRDs remain unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we focused on elucidating the functions of PCYT1A in the retina.

Project description:Here we show that Legionella SidE effectors mediate phosphoribosyl-linked serine ubiquitination (PR-Ub) of the autophagic SNARE proteins STX17 and SNAP29. On the one hand, PR-Ub modification of STX17 enhances its interaction with ATG14L, which drives the recruitment of ER membranes to the bacterial vacuole in a PI3K-dependent manner and promotes the formation of bacterial replicative vacuoles. On the other hand, PR-Ub of SNAP29 inhibits the formation of the autophagosomal SNARE complex (STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8) by steric hindrance and thus prevents the fusion of STX17 + bacterial vacuoles with lysosomes.
