Impact of Folded-State Protein Filaments on the Yeast Proteome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The formation of large polymeric structures without protein unfolding and aggregation, such as cytoskeletal and enzyme filaments, is crucial for normal cellular function. We term this type of assembly agglomeration in contrast to protein aggregation caused by protein misfolding. Several agglomeration-associated diseases, such as sickle cell disease, are caused by hemoglobin agglomeration. Nevertheless, it is still unknown whether there is a specific machinery to recognize protein agglomeration and how agglomeration affects cell – is it as harmful as aggregation or relatively neutral? To address this question, we performed shotgun proteomics of wild-type dihedral homomeric proteins and their mutated counterparts prone to aggregation or agglomeration in yeasts. We identified lower expression of both the exogenous construct and YFP in the misfolded variants of all three constructs when compared to their wild type and agglomerate counterparts (Fig. 4A-B, Sup Fig. 9D-E). Surprisingly, they were the only differentially expressed proteins in both 1POK variants and 1M3U variants. On the contrary, in 2VYC there were many differentially expressed proteins between its variants (Fig. 4C-D). In the misfolded variant, we detected the decrease in 2VYC and YFP expression was coupled with an increase in chaperone proteins (HSP104/HSP78/HSP42/SSA4/STI1, Fig 4C, Sup Fig. 10). GO-SLIM analysis showed enrichment in the upregulated genes for four categories; ‘protein-folding’ (P.value < 0.0002), ‘response to heat’ (P.value < 0.0016), ‘response to oxidative stress’ (P.value < 0.0352) and ‘oligosaccharide metabolic process’ (P.value < 0.0445). Looking at the agglomerate, we focused on proteins that are differentially expressed uniquely in the agglomerate mutant but don’t change in the misfolded mutant. We detected several cell wall related proteins that were upregulated (DCW1/GAS1/GAS3/NPP1) [71–73] as well as proteins localized to the bud neck (PAL1/RAX2) [74,75]. We also detected an increase in the prion progenitor RNQ1. In the down regulated proteins, we identified several metabolic enzymes and among them CYS4 which forms filaments [10]. Other down regulated proteins relate to cell polarity and especially actin polarization (CDC42/LST8/PHO85/RHO4) [76–79]. We detected three protein categories that were enriched in the upregulated genes; ‘cell budding’ (P.value < 0.0334), ‘cell wall organization or biogenesis’ (P.value < 0.0396) and ‘chromatin organization’ (P.value < 0.0441). In the downregulated genes three categories were also enriched; ‘carbohydrate metabolic process’ (P.value < 0.00363), ‘generation of precursor metabolites and energy’ (P.value < 0.0154) and ‘monocarboxylic acid metabolic process’ (P.value < 0.0427)
