Beyond a linear structure: The Tubular of the Tripartite Attachment Complex and the Functional Role of TAC53

Project description:The tripartite attachment complex (TAC) is essential for mitochondrial DNA (kDNA) segregation in Trypanosoma brucei, providing a physical link between the flagellar basal body and the mitochondrial genome. Although the TAC's hierarchical assembly and linear organization have been extensively studied, much remains to be discovered regarding its complete architecture and composition – for instance, our identification of a new TAC component underscores these knowledge gaps. Here, we use a combination of proteomics, RNA interference (RNAi), and Ultrastructure Expansion Microscopy (U-ExM) to characterize the TAC at high resolution and identify a novel component, TAC53 (Tb927.2.6100). Depletion of TAC53 in both procyclic and bloodstream forms results in kDNA missegregation and loss, a characteristic feature of TAC dysfunction. TAC53 localizes to the kDNA in a cell cycle–dependent manner and represents the most kDNA-proximal TAC component identified to date. U-ExM reveals a previously unrecognized tubular architecture of the TAC, with two distinct TAC structures per kDNA disc, suggesting a mechanism for precise kDNA alignment and segregation. Moreover, immunoprecipitation and imaging analyses indicate that TAC53 interacts with known TAC-associated proteins HMG44, KAP68, and KAP3, forming a network at the TAC-kDNA interface. These findings redefine our understanding of TAC architecture and function and identify TAC53 as a key structural component anchoring the mitochondrial genome in T. brucei.

Characterisation of the Semliki Forest Virus-host cell interactome reveals the viral capsid protein as an inhibitor of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

Project description:Understanding the complex interactions between the viral and the host cell proteins is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms underlying successful virus replication strategies and for developing specific antiviral interventions. This project presents the first comprehensive protein-protein interaction map between the proteins of Semliki Forest Virus (SFV), a mosquito-borne member of the alphaviruses, and host cell proteins. We additionally overlay an SFV siRNA screen to assign pro- or antiviral functions to the interactors. Among the many identified cellular interactors of SFV proteins, there was an enrichment of factors involved in translation and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Validating these findings, we observed a general inhibition of NMD during SFV infection and demonstrated that transient expression of the SFV capsid protein was sufficient to inhibit NMD in cells.

Inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay reduces the tumorigenicity of human fibrosarcoma cells

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a eukaryotic RNA degradation pathway that targets for degradation faulty mRNAs with premature termination codons as well as many physiological mRNAs encoding full-length proteins. Consequently, NMD functions in both, quality control and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, and it has been implicated in the modulation of cancer progression. To investigate the role of NMD in cancer, we knocked out SMG7 in the HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line. SMG7 is involved in deadenylation-coupled exonucleolytic mRNA decay, one of the two main degradation pathways in mammalian NMD. Genome-wide proteomic and transcriptomic analyses confirmed that NMD is severely compromised in these SMG7-knockout HT1080 cells. We compared the oncogenic properties between the parental, the SMG7-knockout, and a rescue cell line in which we re-introduced both isoforms of SMG7. In parallel, we tested the effect of a drug inhibiting the NMD factor SMG1 on the HT1080 cells to distinguish NMD-dependent effects from putative NMD-independent functions of SMG7. Using cell-based assays as well as a mouse xenograft tumor model, we show that the oncogenic properties of the parental HT1080 cells areseverely compromised when NMD is inhibited. Molecular pathway analysis revealed a strong reduction of the matrix metalloprotease 9 (MMP9) gene expression in NMD-suppressed cells. Since MMP9 expression promotes cancer cell migration and invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis, its downregulation in NMD-suppressed cells explains, at least partially, their reduced tumorigenicity. Collectively, our findings emphasize the therapeutic potential of NMD inhibition for the treatment ofcertain types of cancer.

Developmental mRNA clearance by PIWI-bound endo-siRNAs in Paramecium

Project description:The clearance of untranslated mRNAs by Argonaute proteins is essential for embryonic development in metazoans. However, it is currently unknown whether a similar process exists in unicellular eukaryotes. The ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia harbors a vast array of Argonaute proteins of the Piwi-clade involved in various small RNA pathways, many of which have not yet been investigated. In this work, we investigated the function of a Piwi protein, Ptiwi08, whose expression is limited to a narrow time window during development, concomitant with the start of zygotic transcription. We show that Ptiwi08 acts in an endo-siRNA pathway involved in the clearance of a set of mRNAs at the post-transcriptional level. Based on their features, we hypothesized that these mRNAs may be untranslated. In this dataset, we used mass spectrometry to determine whether any protein products of these mRNAs can be found.

Development and validation of an ELISA to measure REG3E in canine blood

Project description:Regenerating islet-derived proteins (REG) are upregulated in people with sepsis, pancreatitis, and gastrointestinal diseases. One member of the REG family, namely REG3E, was recently identified in pancreatic tissue and plasma of dogs, with high expression in pancreatitis and sepsis. Our objective was to develop and validate an ELISA to measure REG3E concentrations in canine blood. An indirect sandwich ELISA was successfully developed using recombinant canine REG3E protein and polyclonal anti-canine REG3E antibodies raised in guinea pigs and rabbits. Antibody specificity was assessed using Western blot and mass spectrometric analysis of protein purified from canine plasma using Protein A Sepharose High Performance SpinTrap columns.

Identification of a precursor processing protease from the spider Cupiennius salei essential for venom neurotoxin maturation

Project description:Spider venom neurotoxins and cytolytic peptides are expressed as elongated precursor peptides, which are post-translationally processed by proteases to yield the active mature peptides. The recognition motifs for these processing proteases, first published more than ten years ago, include the Processing Quadruplet Motif (PQM) and the inverted Processing Quadruplet Motif (iPQM). However, the identification of the relevant proteases was still pending. Here we describe the purification of a neurotoxin precursor processing protease from the venom of the spider Cupiennius salei. The chymotrypsin – like serine protease is a 28 kDa heterodimer with optimum activity at venom’s pH of 6.0. We designed multiple synthetic peptides mimicking the predicted cleavage sites of neurotoxin precursors. Using these peptides as substrates, we confirm the biochemical activity of the protease in propeptide removal from neurotoxin precursors by cleavage C-terminal of the PQM. Furthermore, the PQM protease also cleaves the iPQM relevant for heterodimerization of a subgroup of neurotoxins. An involvement in the maturing of cytolytic peptides is very likely, due to high similarity of present protease recognition motifs. Finally, bioinformatics analysis, identifying sequences of homolog proteins from 18 spiders of 9 families, demonstrate the wide distribution and importance of the isolated enzyme for spiders. In summary, we establish the first example of a PQM protease, essential for maturing of spider venom neurotoxins. In the future, the here described protease may be established as powerful tool for production strategies of recombinant toxic peptides, adapted to the maturing of spider venom toxins.

tRNA 3' shortening by LCCR4 as a response to stress in Trypanosoma brucei

Project description:Sensing of environmental cues is crucial for cell survival. To adapt to changes in their surroundings cells need to tightly control the repertoire of genes expressed at any time. Regulation of translation is key, especially in organisms in which transcription is hardly controlled, like Trypanosoma brucei. In this study we describe the shortening of the bulk of the cellular tRNAs during stress at the expense of the conserved 3’ CCA-tail. This tRNA shortening is specific for nutritional stress and renders tRNAs unsuitable substrates for translation. We uncovered the nuclease LCCR4 (Tb927.4.2430), a homologue of the conserved deadenylase Ccr4, as being responsible for tRNA trimming. Once optimal growth conditions are restored tRNAs are rapidly repaired by the trypanosome tRNA nucleotidyltransferase thus rendering the recycled tRNAs amenable for translation. This mechanism represents a fast and efficient way to repress translation during stress, allowing quick reactivation with a low energy input.

Gill Transcriptomic Responses to Toxin-producing Alga Prymnesium parvum in Rainbow Trout

Project description:Prymnesium parvum is regarded as one of the most notorious harmful algal bloom (HAB) species worldwide. In recent years, it has frequently formed toxic blooms in coastal and brackish waters of America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia, causing large-scale mortalities of wild and cultured fish and other gill-breathing animals. In the last decade, blooms of P. parvum have expanded to inland fresh waters in the USA, presumably due to changes in environmental conditions. The aim of the experiment was to establish the gill transcriptomic responses to P. parvum in rainbow trout. We used 2 different concentrations of P. parvum and identified fish with low and moderate responses to the algae. Based on the dose of and the fish response, fish were classified into 4 groups with high exposure/moderate response (HM), high exposure/low response (HL), low exposure/low response (LL) and control group (C) with no exposure/no response. Gene expression profiling of the gill tissue was performed using a microarray platform developed and validated for rainbow trout.

Proteome responses of Grapevine to Downy mildew

Project description:A comparative proteomic analysis of grapevine leaves from the resistant genotype V. davidii ‘LiuBa-8’ (LB) and susceptible genotype V. vinifera ‘Pinot Noir’ (PN) at 12 hpi was conducted to understand the complex relationship between grapevine and P. viticola and the molecular mechanisms between difference resistant vitis genotypes at the early stage of infection. A total of 444 and 349 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in LB and PN respectively at 12 hpi by iTRAQ. MapMan analysis showed that the majority of these DEPs were related to photosynthesis, metabolism, stress and redox. More up-expressed DEPs involved in photosynthesis and less down-expressed DEPs involved in metabolism contribute to the resistance in LB. PR10.2, PR10.3, HSF70.2 and HSP90.6 are proposed to be key proteins in both compatible and incompatible interactions. Accumulation H2O2 established the ROS signaling in incompatible interaction and APXs, GSTs maybe associated with the resistance of grapevine against downy mildew. Moreover, we verified four proteins to ensure the accuracy of proteome data using PRM. Overall, these data provide new insights into molecular events and provide valuable candidate proteins that could be used to illuminate molecular mechanisms underlying the incompatible and compatible interaction in early stage and eventually to be exploited to develop new protection strategy against downy mildew in grapevine.
