Project description:Oxidative stress has been shown to limit metastasis of numerous cancer types including melanoma. A specialized group of 25 proteins containing the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine, plays a central role in oxidative stress resistance, which is a key driver of metastasis. A single selenocysteine tRNA methylation, Um34, is required for the translation of several stress-related selenoproteins in a selenium-dependent manner. Herein, we characterize FTSJ1 as the Um34 methyltransferase and show that its activity is required for the Sec tRNA (tRNASec) Um34 modification. Loss of Um34 affects translation of a subset of selenoproteins and increases melanoma cell sensitivity to oxidative stress while increased Um34 levels promote oxidative stress resistance. Loss of FTSJ1 does not affect primary melanoma tumor growth but abolishes metastatic spread in vivo. Overexpression of FTSJ1 specifically increases melanoma metastasis in vivo. Our work establishes FTSJ1 as the Um34 methyltransfearse and tRNASec Um34 modification as a central regulator of oxidative stress resistance during melanoma metastasis.

Project description:Comparative analysis of gene expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from trsp knockout mice (Trspfl/fl-LysM-Cre+/-) and Control (Trspfl/fl-LysM-Cre-/-) mice. Selenium, a micronutrient whose deficiency in the diet causes immune dysfunction and inflammatory disorders, exerts its physiological effects partly in the form of selenium-containing proteins (selenoproteins). Incorporation of selenium into the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec), and subsequently into selenoproteins, is mediated by Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec. To identify macrophage-specific selenoprotein function, we generated mice with the Sec tRNA[Ser]Sec gene specifically deleted in myeloid cells. These mutant mice were devoid of the selenoproteome in macrophages, yet exhibited largely normal inflammatory responses. However, selenoprotein deficiency led to aberrant expression of extracellular matrix-related genes, and diminished migration of macrophages in a protein gel matrix. Therefore, selenium status may affect immune defense and tissue homeostasis through its effect on selenoprotein expression and the trafficking of tissue macrophages. We have generated mice in which we have selectively removed the selenocysteine tRNA gene (trsp) in macrophages under the control of LysM-Cre promoter. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA samples taken from bone marrow-derived macrophages in knockout and control mice. 1. Control unstimulated 2. Knockout unstimulated 3. Control lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated (4h) 4. Knockout LPS stimulated (4h). Three replicates for each condition. Thus, a total of 12 samples.

Project description:Translational readthrough of UGA stop codons by selenocysteine-specific tRNA (tRNASec) enables the synthesis of selenoproteins. Seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS) charges tRNASec with serine, which is modified into selenocysteine and delivered to the ribosome by a designated elongation factor (eEFSec in eukaryotes). Here we found that components of human selenocysteine incorporation machinery (SerRS, tRNASec, and eEFSec) also increased translational readthrough of non-selenocysteine genes, including VEGFA, to create C-terminally extended isoforms. SerRS recognizes target mRNAs through a stem-loop structure that resembles the variable loop of its cognate tRNAs. This function of SerRS depends on both its enzymatic activity and a vertebrate-specific domain. Through eCLIP-seq, we identified additional SerRS-interacting mRNAs as potential readthrough genes. Moreover, SerRS overexpression was sufficient to reverse premature termination caused by a pathogenic nonsense mutation. Our findings expand the repertoire of selenoprotein biosynthesis machinery and suggest an avenue for therapeutic targeting of nonsense mutations using endogenous factors.

Project description:Translational readthrough of UGA stop codons by selenocysteine-specific tRNAs (tRNASec) provide the basis for selenoprotein biosynthesis. Seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS) charges tRNASec with serine, which is modified into selenocysteine, and delivered to the ribosome by a designated elongation factor (eEFSec). We found that the selenocysteine incorporation machinery, including SerRS, tRNASec, and eEFSec, also mediated translational readthrough of non-selenocysteine genes, including VEGFA, to create C-terminally extended protein isoforms. SerRS bound a subset of non-selenocysteine mRNAs to facilitate serine insertion. SerRS-mediated readthrough is sufficient to reverse premature termination caused by a disease-causing nonsense mutation. Genes involved in hypoxia, angiogenesis, and adhesion are enriched among SerRS-bound genes. This regulatory function of SerRS in mRNA translation is dependent on its enzymatic activity but also a vertebrate-specific domain involved in non-tRNA nucleic acid interaction. Our findings offer an avenue for therapeutic targeting of nonsense mutations through regulation of existing protein synthesis machinery exclusively using unmodified factors.

Project description:The relationship between loss of hypothalamic function and onset of diabetes mellitus remains elusive. Therefore, we generated a targeted oxidative-stress murine model utilizing conditional knockout of selenocysteine-tRNA (Trsp) using rat insulin promoter-driven-Cre (RIP-Cre). These Trsp-knockout (TrspRIPKO) mice exhibit deletion of Trsp in both hypothalamic cells and pancreatic β-cells leading to increased hypothalamic oxidative stress and severe insulin resistance. Leptin signals were suppressed and numbers of proopiomelanocortin-positive neurons in the hypothalamus were decreased. In contrast, a Trsp-knockout mouse (TrspIns1KO) expressing Cre specifically in pancreatic β-cells, but not in the hypothalamus, did not display insulin and leptin resistance, demonstrating a critical role of the hypothalamus in the onset of diabetes mellitus. Nrf2 (NF-E2-related-factor-2) regulates antioxidant gene expression. Gene-driven increase in Nrf2 signaling suppressed hypothalamic oxidative stress and improved insulin and leptin resistance in TrspRIPKO mice. Thus, Nrf2 harbors the potential to prevent the onset of diabetic mellitus by reducing hypothalamic oxidative damage.
