Project description:Argonaute proteins are essential players in RNA silencing pathways, and their N-terminal extensions, particularly in the PIWI clade, often harbor conserved sequences like RG motifs. Despite their prevalence in Argonaute proteins, the role of these motifs remains poorly understood. In this study, we focus on the RG motifs within the N-terminal region of Caenorhabditis elegans PRG-1, a PIWI clade Argonaute. Using sequence alignment across Caenorhabditis species, we identify three conserved RG motifs that are methylated, as confirmed by mass spectrometry. The region surrounding these motifs is intrinsically disordered, as predicted by disorder algorithms and structural modeling. While the RG motifs are critical for fertility, germline morphology, and piRNA silencing, they are not required for PRG-1 expression, localization, or piRNA loading. Notably, mutation of the RG motifs results in defects in downstream small RNA production, specifically the depletion of mutator class siRNAs, without affecting piRNA biogenesis. These findings suggest that the RG motifs of PRG-1 play a crucial role in linking piRNA-mediated silencing to siRNA production, and that their function is critical for fertility and germline maintenance in C. elegans. Despite these defects, the phenotypic severity in the RG mutant is milder than in a PRG-1 null mutant, highlighting the complexity of PRG-1 function and its post-translational modifications.

Project description:Two isoforms (Long isoform ~220 KDa, short isoform ~150 KDa) of the human PRRC2B protein (Uniprot accession Q5JSZ5) were recombinantly expressed with an HA-tag in HEK293 cell lines. The goal of the experiment is to identify differential interactors of the short vs long isoforms, in addition to their common interactors. To this aim, 3 sample types were analyzed by IP-MS: HA-tagged long PRRC2B, HA-tagged short PRRC2B, and HA-tagged mCherry (control). Four biological replicates were analyzed from each experimental group.

Project description:The viral nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) of Epstein Barr (EBV) features two functionally redundant Arginine-Glycine (RG) repeats that contain symmetrically and asymmetrically di-methylated (SDMA/ADMA) and also mono-methylated (MMA) Arginine residues. We generated mouse monoclonal antibodies against the mono-methylated RG-repeat between aa 328-377. In addition to detect MMA-EBNA1, we aimed at the identification of cellular proteins that are bound to MMA-modified EBNA1 in EBV-positive Raji cells.

Project description:PRMT5 is the major enzyme that catalyzes the symmetric dimethylation of arginine (sDMA) in mammalian cells. Its activity is crucial for many biological processes including transcriptional regulation, mRNA processing, as well as DNA damage and repair. However, the protein substrates identified for PRMT5 have yet been limited in numbers, hindering the understanding of PRMT5 functions in normal as well as diseased cells. Herein we developed an optimized strategy for proteomic profiling of cellular sDMA and apply it to the discovery of novel PRMT5 substrates. Our results show that a combination of proteolytic digestion by the metalloprotease ulilysin and using electron-transfer dissociation with supplemental activation as the mass spectrometry method significantly increased sDMA site identification and localization after immuno-affinity enrichment. By employing SILAC-based differential quantitative proteomic approach and a PRMT5 specific inhibitor, we identified 325 sDMA sites being regulated by PRMT5, 220 being novel sites, which greatly expanded the number of PRMT5 substrates. Biochemical studies confirmed the newly discovered PRMT5 substrate, Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 RNA-binding protein (SERBP1) and revealed that the RGG/RG motif in the central region of SERBP1 contains both PRMT5-catalyzed sDMA and Type I PRMT-catalyzed asymmetric dimethylation of arginine (aDMA). Unexpectedly, using the optimized methylarginine profiling strategy, we also discovered arginine trimethylation, a previously unknown type of modification, on the central RGG/RG region of SERBP1. By mutational studies we demonstrated that the trimethyl modification on R172 of SERBP1 regulates its recruitment to stress granule (SG) under oxidative stress, indicating a functional role of arginine trimethylation in the cell. Overall, the optimized profiling strategy not only enabled the identification of extensive, non-overlapping sDMA sites and novel PRMT5 substrates, but also revealed a potentially important new PTM, arginine trimethylation. The work lays the foundation for further investigations on the functional interplay of different methylation modifications on arginines, especially in the heavily methylated RGG/RG motif of many RNA-binding proteins.

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) catalyses the asymmetric dimethylation of arginines on numerous substrate proteins within the human cell. In particular, PRMT6 methylates histone H3 arginine 2 (H3R2) which affects both gene repression and activation. However, the substrate specificity of PRMT6 has not been comprehensively analysed. Here we have systematically characterised the substrate recognition motif of PRMT6 in context of the histone H3 tail, finding that it has broad specificity and recognises the RG motif. Working with a H3 tail peptide as a template, on which we made 204 amino acid substitutions, we use targeted mass spectrometry to measure the effect on PRMT6 in vitro activity. We first show that PRMT6 methylates R2 and R8 in the H3 peptide, although H3R8 is methylated with lower efficiency and is not an in vivo PRMT6 substrate. Then, using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) with electron transfer dissociation (ETD), we quantify the effect of 194 of these amino acid substitutions on methylation at both H3R2 and H3R8. In both cases, we find that PRMT6 is capable of tolerating essentially any amino acid substitution in the H3 peptide, but that positively charged and bulky residues are preferred near the target arginine. We show that PRMT6 prefers glycine in the position immediately following the target arginine, indicating that PRMT6 recognises the RG motif. We confirm this preference for the RG motif on another PRMT6 substrate, histone H4R3. This broad specificity, along with recognition of RG rather than RGG, is distinctive among the PRMT family and has implications for the development of drugs to selectively target PRMT6.

Project description:The conserved box H/ACA RNPs consist of one box H/ACA RNA and 4 core proteins: Dyskerin, NHP2, NOP10 and GAR1. The assembly of the H/ACA RNPs is a stepwise process which requires several assembly factors: SHQ1, NAF1, the Survival of Motor Neuron complex SMN, and the R2TP complex. It implicates the co-transcriptional assembly of a pre-particle containing the nascent RNAs, Dyskerin, NOP10, NHP2 and NAF1. The latest keeps the H/ACA RNP inactive, and needs to be replaced by GAR1 to produce mature and functional H/ACA RNPs in the Cajal bodies. In this study, we explore in details the molecular mechanism leading to the assembly of mature box H/ACA RNPs. We performed extensive analysis of GAR1, NHP21 and NAF interactomes by quantitative stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture proteomic analyses (SILAC), and revealed new assembly intermediates: 1) an early protein-only pre-H/ACA RNP complex containing the core proteins DKC1, NOP10 and NHP2, and the assembly factors SHQ1 and NAF1, and 2) a late assembly intermediates containing the RNA, the core proteins and NAF1. We showed that the SMN complex is associated with late forming H/ACA pre-RNP complexes containing GAR1. Moreover, our study identifies new proteins highly and specifically associated with GAR1, NHP2 and NAF1, reflecting their importance in box H/ACA assembly or function, such as the PRMT1 and PRMT5 arginine methylases. MS analysis of purified GAR1 revealed new sites of arginine methylations in the two GAR domains of GAR1, and showed that most of these methylated arginines exist both in mono-methylated and di-methylated forms in cells. By different methods, we showed that unmethylated GAR1 is correctly incorporated in H/ACA RNPs. Therefore, GAR1 methylation should be important for its function.
