METTL9 sustains vertebrate neural development primarily via non-catalytic functions

ABSTRACT: METTL9 is an enzyme catalysing histidine N1-methylation (1-MH). Given the high levels of this methyltransferase during vertebrate nervous system development, we dissected the roles of Mettl9 during this relevant physiological process. We generated three mouse embryonic stem cell lines featuring a complete Mettl9 knock-out, an inducible degron system, and the endogenous expression of a catalytically inactive protein. Additionally, we employed Xenopus laevis to down-regulate Mettl9 during neural development in vivo. Our multi-omic data indicate that METTL9 exerts a conserved role in sustaining vertebrate neurogenesis. Surprisingly, both perturbation of METTL9 catalytic activity and depletion of METTL9 protein levels without affecting global 1-MH levels show milder neural commitment defects, suggesting a role for both METTL9 catalytic and non-enzymatic activities. These converge towards the secretory pathway, where METTL9 co-localises with the Golgi apparatus and interacts with key regulators of cellular transport, endocytosis and Golgi integrity.

Project description:Mucormycosis is a life-threatening disease especially in immunocompromised patients that was caused my mucoralean fungi. The rate of mortality is tremendously increased in the last decades due to the lack of appropriate diagnostic tools, insufficient knowledge about the immune response toward the mucormycosis and unavailability of specific antifungal drugs. Several species of mucoralean fungi cause mucormycosis such as Lichtheimia, Rhizopus, and Mucor. Lichtheimia species ranks the second and third cause of mucormycosis in Europe and the USA, respectively. In this study, we investigated the receptors present on the surface of immune cells that bind to the spores of Lichtheimia. We focus on two strains of L. corymbifera (FSU:9682 and FSU:10164) using resting and heat-killed spores. Additionally, we choose alveolar macrophages (MH-S) to carry out our experiment. MH-S is the first line of defense in the lung and the major component in the innate immune system. MH-S surface proteins were biotinylated and incubated with Lichtheimia spores. The surface proteins and putative binding partners were enriched by streptavidin. LC-MS/MS analysis showed that several proteins are highly expressed in presence of Lichtheimia spores, of which the heat shock protein family A (HSPA8) was one of the most abundant proteins. FACS analysis and immunofluorescence examination confirmed that HSPA8 is highly abundant on the surface of the MH-S, but not on the surface of Lichtheimia spores. Moreover, our study showed that the intensity of HSPA8 on the surface of MH-S depends on the multiplicity of infection (MOI). Additionally, the blocking with anti-HSPA8 antibody reduced the capability of MH-S to engulf the Lichtheimia spores, but not Aspergillus fumigatus spores. This confirms that HSPA8 is specific to Lichtheimia. THis is the first study addressing the determination of surface receptors of alveolar macrophages that in the context of Mucoralean fungi.

Project description:The early interaction of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium DT104 with intact small intestinal mucosa was studied in a Small Intestinal Segment Perfusion (SISP) model. Intestinal segments were infected with or without Salmonella. Scrapings from jejunal segments were collected after perfusion for 0, 2, 4, or 8 hours. Details of the SISP experiment are described in: Niewold TA, Veldhuizen EJ, van der Meulen J, Haagsman HP, de Wit AA, Smits MA, Tersteeg MH, Hulst MM. Using the Operon 13K pig oligonucleotide array differences in host gene expression were recorded between infected and uninfected segments within a single pig (isogenic comparisons), and between identical treated segments collected from 3 individual SISP pigs, all responding markedly different to infection with Salmonella (inter-animal comparisons). A Small Intestinal Segment Perfusion (SISP) test was performed with 3 pigs (pig no. 2, 3, and 4) (cross-bred YorkshireM-CM-^W(Large WhiteM-CM-^WLandrace)). Two adjacent segments prepared in the mid-jejunum of each pig were perfused for 1 hour with Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium DT104 suspended in peptone solution (10E-09 CFU/ml) or with peptone solution alone (mock infected segment) respectively. Subsequently, segments were perfused with peptone solution alone for a maximum period of 8 hours. At 2, 4, and 8 hours a part of the infected segment was dissected to obtain mucosal scrappings. The same was done at 0 and 8 hours for the uninfected (mock) control segment. RNA isolated from scrappings was used for microarray comparisons using the Operon 13K pig oligonucleotide array. 9 comparisons were done. For each of the 3 SISP pigs, expression in the 8 hours perfused infected segment, perfused for 8 hours, was compared to expression in its adjacent mock infected segment (3 isogenic comparisons, 8 hpi.). Expression in the infected segment of each SISP pig, dissected after 2 or 4 hours of perfusion, was compared to expression in an infected segment dissected from another SISP pig (2 versus 3, 2 versus 4, and 3 versus 4 / 3 comparisons at 2 hpi., and 3 comparisons at 4 hpi.). Dye-swaps were performed for each comparison. jejunum pig, host-microbe interaction, Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium DT104.
