An oscillatory transcription factor complex regulates adaptive changes in macropinocytosis during the growth-to-development transition

ABSTRACT: Macropinocytosis is an evolutionarily conserved endocytic pathway that mediates non-selective bulk uptake of extracellular fluid. It is the major route by which axenic Dictyostelium cells obtain nutrients and has emerged as a nutrient-scavenging pathway for mammalian cells. How cells adjust macropinocytic activity in various physiological or developmental contexts is an important question that remains largely unanswered. We discovered that, in Dictyostelium cells, the transcription factors Hbx5 and MybG form a functional complex in the nucleus to maintain macropinocytic activity during the growth stage. In contrast, during starvation-induced multicellular development, the transcription factor complex undergoes nucleocytoplasmic shuttling in response to oscillatory cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) signals, which leads to increased cytoplasmic retention of the complex and progressive downregulation of macropinocytosis. Therefore, by coupling macropinocytosis-related gene expression to the cAMP oscillation system that facilitates long-range cell-cell communication, the dynamic translocation of the Hbx5-MybG complex orchestrates a population-level adjustment of macropinocytic activity to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

The GATA transcription factor GtaC regulates early developmental gene expression dynamics in Dictyostelium

Project description:In many developmental systems, morphogenesis is coupled with dramatic changes in spatiotemporal gene expression, often orchestrated by the coordinated action of transcription factors. Development of the social soil amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum proceeds through a sequence of morphological and transcriptional changes, but the role of transcription factors in development is not well understood. GtaC, a GATA-type zinc-finger transcription factor, is essential for Dictyostelium development. It decodes pulsatile extracellular cAMP signals during early development and mediates cell-type differentiation at later stages. Here, we studied the developmental regulatory roles of GtaC through the concerted analysis of temporal ChIP- and RNA-sequencing data from strains that carry different alleles of gtaC. We show that GtaC exhibits temporally distinctive DNA-binding patterns throughout early development, accompanied by largely cotemporaneous expression of its target genes. We also show that GtaC binds DNA in two modes. One of these modes exhibits binding preferences for canonical GATA-like sequences, the regulatory consequences accompanying which is predominantly up-regulation of target gene expression. The other binding mode is mostly associated with down-regulation. Among its targets we find transcription factors that are essential for development as well as genes involved in cAMP signaling and cell-type specification. Our results suggest that GtaC is a master regulator that regulates multiple physiological processes during early development, when Dictyostelium transitions from a group of unicellular amoebae to an integrated multicellular organism.

Light-sensing via H2O2 and a peroxiredoxin

Project description:Light controls control a vast array of biological processes, including cell and organelle motility, stress responses, organismal development and the entrainment of circadian rhythms, that maintain diurnal cycles of activity in organisms from cyanobacteria to humans. Recent studies indicate that a type of antioxidant and signaling proteins, peroxiredoxins, sustain circadian rhythms independent of characterized circadian pacemakers in organisms from all the three kingdoms of life, suggesting a role for H2O2 production in circadian clocks. Whereas many circadian clocks involve photosensitive pigments such as melanopsin and cryptochromes it is unclear whether peroxiredoxins can respond to light stimuli and how they interact with global signaling networks regulating e.g. clocks and aging, such as cyclic AMP (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA). In yeast, that lacks decidated photoreceptors, blue light induces cAMP-PKA-dependent, nuclear accumulation of a transcription factor, Msn2. However, the mechanism by which light represses pathway activity to stimulate Msn2 nuclear translocation is unknown. Here we identify increased H2O2–production via a conserved peroxisomal oxidase as the cause of light-induced Msn2 nuclear concentration. The H2O2 signal is transduced by the catalytic cysteines of the peroxiredoxin Tsa1 that relieve Msn2 from inhibitory PKA phosphorylation causing its nuclear accumulation. We propose that yeast senses light via H2O2 and a peroxiredoxin to inhibit cAMP/PKA activity and our data form a framework for the study of light responses in cells lacking dedicated light receptors and cAMP-controlled biological rhythms in multicellular organisms.

The PripA-TbcrA complex-centered Rab GAP cascade facilitates macropinosome maturation in Dictyostelium

Project description:Macropinocytosis, an evolutionarily conserved mechanism mediating nonspecific bulk uptake of extracellular fluid, has been ascribed diverse functions. How nascent macropinosomes mature after internalization remains largely unknown. By searching for proteins that localize on macropinosomes during the Rab5-to-Rab7 transition stage in Dictyostelium, we uncover a complex composed of two proteins, which we name PripA and TbcrA. We show that the Rab5-to-Rab7 conversion involves fusion of Rab5-marked early macropinosomes with Rab7-marked late macropinosomes. PripA links the two membrane compartments by interacting with PI(3,4)P2 and Rab7. In addition, PripA recruits TbcrA, which acts as a GAP, to turn off Rab5. Thus, the conversion to Rab7 is linked to inactivation of the upstream Rab5. Consistently, disruption of either pripA or tbcrA impairs Rab5 inactivation and macropinocytic cargo processing. Therefore, the PripA-TbcrA complex is the central component of a Rab GAP cascade that facilitates programmed Rab switch and efficient cargo trafficking during macropinosome maturation.

Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis of human Arl4A upon fibronectin stimulation

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM) fibronectin (FN) not only provides the framework for cell invasion and deposition of collagens and other ECMs from wound studies, but also guide collective tumor migration during cancer progression. p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1) and Arf-like (Arl) GTPase Arl4A have previously been found to recruit each other on the plasm membrane to promote cell migration, and their plasma membrane translocation are robustly potentiated by FN. Under FN stimulation, we found that Pak1 kinase activity is required for Arl4A protein stabilization. How FN-induced Pak1 activity enhances Arl4A protein stability is unknown. Given that the Pak1-Arl4A interaction is direct, we hypothesized that alternation of Pak1-dependent phosphorylation on Arl4A leads to its protein stabilization upon FN stimulation. We herein applied the SILAC method to identify the phosphorylation sites on Arl4A upon FN treatment through MS analysis and found that S141/143 site(s) increased phosphorylation under FN stimulation. We further validated that phosphorylation on S143 of Arl4A and corresponding site on S144 of Arl4D (closest Arl member of Arl4A) are indeed dependent on Pak1 kinase and contribute to their protein stability. By dissecting the phosphorylation property on S143/S144 of Arl4A/D, we revealed an Arl4A/D specific chaperon protein HYPK as the underlying mechanism to mask and protect the phospho-form of Arl4A/D from fast proteasome degradation. This study provides how FN signaling cascade promotes cell migration on a molecular basis by regulating Arl4A/D phosphorylation.

Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of a GATA transcription factor functions as a development timer

Project description:Biological oscillations are observed at many levels of cellular organization. In the social amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum, starvation-triggered multicellular development is organized by periodic cAMP waves, which provide both chemoattractant gradients and developmental signals. We report that GtaC, a GATA transcription factor, exhibits rapid nucleocytoplasmic shuttling in response to cAMP waves. This behavior requires coordinated action of a nuclear localization signal and reversible G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated phosphorylation. While both are required for developmental gene expression, receptor occupancy promotes nuclear exit of GtaC, which leads to a transient burst of transcription at each cAMP cycle. We demonstrate that this biological circuit, like an “edge trigger”, filters out high frequency signals and counts those admitted, thereby enabling cells to modulate gene expression according to the dynamic pattern of the external stimuli.
