Ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2) -mediated proximity-based proteomics for HTT protein interactions

ABSTRACT: Huntington’s Disease (HD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no disease-modifying therapies, is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the HD gene encoding polyglutamine-expanded huntingtin (HTT) protein. Mechanisms of HD cellular pathogenesis and cellular functions of the normal and mutant HTT proteins are still not completely understood. HTT protein has numerous interaction partners, and it likely provides a scaffold for assembly of multiprotein complexes many of which may be altered in HD. Previous studies have implicated DNA damage response in HD pathogenesis. Gene transcription and RNA processing has also emerged as molecular mechanisms associated with HD. Here we used multiple approaches to identify HTT interactors in the context of DNA damage stress. We present evidence for the role for HTT in double strand break (DSB) repair mechanism. Our results indicate that HTT interacts with many proteins involved in the regulation of interconnected DNA repair/remodeling and RNA processing pathways.

Huntingtin interactome in human striatal neurons derived from iPSCs upon the induction of double strand break (DSB) DNA damage response

PTMs of HTT protein - Post-translational modifications (PTMs), identified on endogenous huntingtin, cluster within proteolytic domains between HEAT repeats

Project description:Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins regulate various cellular processes. PTMs of polyglutamine-expanded huntingtin (Htt) protein, causative of Huntington’s disease (HD), are likely modulators of HD pathogenesis. Previous studies have identified and characterized several PTMs on exogenously expressed Htt fragments, however none of these studies were designed to systematically characterize PTMs on the endogenous full-length Htt protein.We found that full-length endogenous Htt, immunoprecipitated from HD knock-in mouse and human post mortem brain, is suitable for detection of PTMs by mass spectrometry. Using label-free mass spectrometry, we identified around 40 PTMs, of which half are novel. These findings will be instrumental in the further assembling the Htt PTM framework, and validate PTMs of Htt as promising therapeutic targets for HD.

Huntingtin polyglutamine expansion modulates protein interaction dynamics in the striatum

Project description:Huntington’s disease is a monogenic disorder, with only one known causative gene, huntingtin (HTT). Expansion of a trinucleotide (CAG) repeat within the HTT gene results in a mutant protein containing polyglutamine (polyQ) stretches. While mutant HTT is the primary driver of cellular degeneration in the brain, the molecular and cellular mechanisms are incompletely understood. To further understand the role of polyQ in disease pathogenesis, we studied the dynamics of HTT protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in the striatum of mice with wild-type (Q20) and mutant (Q140) HTT at pre-symptomatic and manifest HD ages using label-free and isotope-labeled IP-MS approaches. Combining these approaches, we demonstrated that HTT PPI dynamics are distinct in early and later disease phases. Computational analysis pointed to early protein interaction changes involving synaptic transmission and vesicle fusion functions, while later interactions underlie changes in synapse morphogenesis and impact the actin cytoskeletal network.

G3BP1-dependent suppression of polyglutamine aggregation in Huntington’s models and its failure upon stress granule formation

Project description:To define the interactome of huntingtin protein (HTT) in human neurons, we assessed interactors of HTT with coimmunoprecipitation experiments with huntingtin antibody or polyqlutamine antibody (it only recognizes mutant huntingtin protein with abnormal polyqlutamine expansion) in striatal neurons differentiated from control and patient-derived iPSC lines (HD-iPSCs). GFP antibody used as a negative control.

The ubiquitin ligase UBR5 suppresses proteostasis collapse in immortal pluripotent stem cells and Huntington’s disease models

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells undergo unlimited self-renewal while maintaining their potential to differentiate into post-mitotic cells with an intact proteome, a capacity that demands a highly induced proteostasis network. As such, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) suppress the aggregation of polyQ-expanded huntingtin (HTT), the mutant protein underlying Huntington’s disease (HD). Here we show that proteasome activity determines HTT levels, preventing the accumulation of polyQ-expanded aggregates in iPSCs from HD patients (HD-iPSCs). iPSCs exhibit intrinsic high levels of UBR5, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that we find required for proteasomal degradation of both normal and mutant HTT. When UBR5 fails to monitor HTT proteostasis, the concomitant up-regulation of HTT expression particularly results in polyQ-expanded aggregation in HD-iPSCs. Moreover, UBR5 knockdown hastens protein aggregation and neurotoxicity in polyQ-expanded invertebrate models. Notably, ectopic expression of UBR5 is sufficient to induce polyubiquitination and degradation of mutant HTT, reducing polyQ-expanded aggregates in HD cell models. However, UBR5 is dispensable for the proteostasis of other aggregation-prone proteins linked with Machado-Joseph disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in iPSCs. Besides its role in HTT regulation, we find that intrinsic high levels of UBR5 also determine the global proteostatic ability of iPSCs preventing aggresome formation, suggesting a role in the control of misfolded proteins ensued from normal metabolism. Thus, our findings indicate UBR5 as a central component of super-vigilant proteostasis of iPSCs with the potential to correct proteostatic deficiencies in HD.

Identification of full length wild-type and mutant huntingtin interacting proteins by crosslinking immunoprecipitation in mice brain cortex

Project description:Huntington’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG expansion in exon1 of the huntingtin (Htt) gene. The resulting polyglutamine expansion in the ubiquitously expressed mutant Htt (mHtt) protein leads to selective neurodegeneration. In this study we set out to identify interacting proteins of full length wild-type and mHtt protein in the mice cortex brain region in order to get a better understanding of the processes involved in HD pathology.

Charecterization of RBM42 interacting proteins in HCT116 cells with and without DNA damage

Project description:RNA binding motif protein 42 (RBM42) is an understudied gene mapped to 19q13.12 region and codes for a protein that consists of 480 amino acids, containing one RNA recognition motif (RRM) at its C-terminal region. We mapped the RBM42 interactome using ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2)-based proximity labelling combined with mass spectrometry. We utilized CRISPR-Cas9 methodology for biallelic knock-in APEX2 at the C-terminus of the endogenous RBM42 coding sequence (CDS) and established an HCT116 cell line expressing RBM42-APEX2 fusion. RBM42 interactome mapping was performed by using Control and and HCT116 expressing RBM42-APEX2 cells that were treated with DMSO or Etoposide (VP-16) that induce DNA repair and incubated in media containing biotin phenol, followed by H2O2 treatment, to activate APEX2 peroxidase activity. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the majority of proteins that appeared in proximity to RBM42 are implicated in mRNA splicing and processing. Furthermore, we observed a significant enrichment of proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoints and regulation, further highlighting the role of RBM42 in DNA damage response. Together, RBM42 interactome analysis substantiates its function as a splicing regulator and implicates it in additional cellular pathways related to mRNA metabolism and DNA damage response.

Proteomic changes upon huntingtin lowering in human cortical neurons

Project description:Despite growing descriptions of wild-type Huntingtin's (wt-HTT) roles in both adult brain function and, more recently, development, several clinical trials are exploring HTT-lowering approaches that target both wt-HTT and the mutant isoforms (mut-HTT) responsible for Huntington's disease (HD). This non-selective targeting is based on the autosomal dominant inheritance of HD, supporting the idea that mutant HTT exerts its harmful effects through a toxic gain-of-function or a dominant-negative mechanism. However, the precise amount of wt-HTT needed for healthy neurons in adults and during development remains unclear. In this study, we address this question by examining how wt-HTT loss affects human neuronal network formation, synaptic maturation, and homeostasis in vitro. Our findings establish a role of wt-HTT in the maturation of dendritic arborization and the acquisition of network-wide synchronized activity by human cortical neuronal networks modeled in vitro. Interestingly, the network synchronization defects only became apparent when more than two-thirds of the wt-HTT protein was depleted. Our study underscores the critical need to precisely understand wt-HTT's role in neuronal health. It also emphasizes the potential risks of excessive wt-HTT loss associated with non-selective therapeutic approaches targeting both wt and mutant HTT isoforms in HD patients.

Dynamic Changes in the Proximitome of Neutral Sphingomyelinase-2 (NSM2) in TNFα Stimulated Jurkat Cells

Project description:Ceramides generated by the activity of the neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (NSM2) play a pivotal role in stress responses in mammalian cells. Dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolism has been implicated in numerous inflammation-related pathologies. However, its influence on inflammatory cytokine-induced signaling is yet incompletely understood. Here, we used proximity labeling to explore the plasma membrane proximal protein network of NSM2 and TNFα-induced changes thereof. We established Jurkat cells stably expressing NSM2 C-terminally fused to the engineered ascorbate peroxidase 2 (APEX2). Removal of excess biotin phenol substantially improved streptavidin-based affinity purification of biotinylated proteins. Using our optimized protocol, we determined NSM2-proximal biotinylated proteins and their changes within the first 5 min of TNFα stimulation by quantitative mass spectrometry. We observed significant dynamic changes in the NSM2 microenvironment in response to TNFαstimulation consistent with rapid remodeling of protein networks. Our data confirmed known NSM2 interactors and revealed that the recruitment of most proteins depended on NSM2 enzymatic activity. We measured significant enrichment of proteins related to vesicle-mediated transport, including proteins of recycling endosomes, trans-Golgi network, and exocytic vesicles in the proximitome of enzymatically active NSM2 within the first minutes of TNFα stimulation. Hence, the NSM2 proximal network and its TNFα-induced changes provide a valuable resource for further investigations into the involvement of NSM2 in the early signaling pathways triggered by TNFα.

PolyQ-expansion does not alter the huntingtin-HAP40 complex

Project description:The amplification of a CAG repeat in the gene coding for huntingtin (HTT) leads to Huntington’s disease (HD). At the protein level, this translates into the expansion of a poly-glutamine (polyQ) stretch in the HTT N-terminus, which renders HTT aggregation-prone by unknown mechanisms. Here we investigate the effects of polyQ expansion on the HTT-HAP40 complex, where HTT structure is substantially stabilized. Surprisingly, our biophysical, cryo-EM and crosslinking mass spectrometry experiments reveal no major changes between 17QHTT-HAP40 (wild type), 46QHTT-HAP40 (typical polyQ length in HD patients) and 128QHTT-HAP40 (extreme polyQ length). Thus, the proposed destabilizing effect of HTT polyQ expansion may not suffice to alter the HTT-HAP40 complex, suggesting that polyQ expansion does not have a major global effect on HTT structure.
