Project description:Mitochondria are key to cellular energetics, metabolism, and signaling. Their dysfunction is linked to devastating diseases including mitochondrial disorders, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiac disorders, and cancer. Here, we present a novel knockout mouse model lacking the complex IV assembly factor SMIM20/MITRAC7. SMIM20-/- mice display cardiac pathology with reduced heart weight and cardiac output. Heart mitochondria present with reduced levels of complex IV associated with increased complex I activity, have altered fatty acid oxidation, and display elevated levels of ROS production. Interestingly, mutant mouse ventricular myocytes show unphysiological Ca2+ handling, which can be attributed to the increase in mitochondrial ROS production. Our study presents a new example of a tissue-specific phenotype in the context of OXPHOS dysfunction. Moreover, our data suggest a link between complex IV dysfunction and Ca2+ handling at the endoplasmic reticulum through ROS signaling.

Project description:The nephrotoxic ifosfamide-metabolite chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) induces changes in intracellular Ca2+-concentration of human RPTEC. This effect is due to a PKA-dependent inhibition of Na+/Ca2+ exchange (Benesic, A., Schwerdt, G. at. al. (2005) Kidney Int 68, 2029-2041). Thus, possible effects of CAA-exposure on cAMP and Ca2+ regulated genes as well the Ca2+/NFAT pathway were investigated by cDNA-microarray analysis. Both microarrays (cAMP/Ca2+ and Ca2+(NFAT) were performed twice. After 24 h CAA exposure a marked downregulation of c-fos and junB was observed in all arrays performed. In the cAMP/Ca2+-arrays downregulation of FOS, ADRB1, INHBA, CDK5, IL2, PLN, SRF, GCG, SGK, JUNB, BDNF, S100A6, CCNA1, MIF, HK2, SST and EGR2 by CAA was observed in two independent experiments. From the AP-1 family expression of junD and fosB were not altered. Overexpression by CAA of CREB and DDIT3 were only observed in one of two experiments. JUND, FOSB, FOSL1, CREM and CREBBP expression was not influenced in reproducible manner, as well as all members of the NFAT-family. In the Ca2+/NFAT-Arrays, PPP3CB, VAV3, NFATC1, IL8, IL6, FASLG, IL3, IFNB1, FOS, BCL2, EGR3, CD3G, HRAS, EP300, IL4, CALM3, RELA, EGR2, NPPB, IFNG, NFATC4, KPNA5, CAMK2BNFKB2 , VEGF, IL8RA, IL2,GATA4, MEF2A, PTPRC, ICOS, NFKBIE, CDKN1A, CSNK2B, ACTB, MEF2B and JUNB mRNA´s were repeatedly reduced by CAA exposure. The only gene with upregulation in both experiments was found to be IFN-alpha. Thus CAA exposure for 24 h leads to a downregulation of of the AP-1 members JUNB and FOS, whereas there is small positive effect on CREB mRNA. CAA reproducibly lowers the expression of IL-2, 3, 4, 6 and 8, whereas the levels of TNFalpha and TGFbeta1 and 3 mRNA were not altered. IFN-alpha mRNA levels were reproducibly increased (>2-fold). In conclusion, CAA seems to interact with Ca2+ and cAMP signalling pathways, with a strong impact on AP-1 proteins and inflammatory signalling. Keywords: stress response to toxic agent

Project description:Cardiomyocyte Ca2+ is buffered by mitochondria via the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex. The MCU complex consists of pore-forming proteins including the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), and regulatory proteins such as mitochondrial calcium uptake proteins 1 and 2 (MICU1/2). The stoichiometry of these proteins influences the sensitivity to Ca2+ and activity of the complex. However, the factors that regulate their gene expression remain incompletely understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate gene expression through various mechanisms, and we recently found that the lncRNA Tug1 affected the expression of MCU-associated genes. To further explore this, we knocked down Tug1 (Tug1 KD) in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes using antisense LNA oligo. This led to increased MCU protein expression yet this did not enhance a marker of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. RNA-seq revealed that Tug1 KD increased Mcu and led to differential expression of genes and pathways related to Ca2+ regulation in the heart. To understand the effect of this on Ca2+ signalling, we measured phosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and its downstream target cAMP Response Element-Binding protein (CREB), a transcription factor known to promote Mcu gene expression. Tug1 KD attenuated the increase in CAMKII and CREB phosphorylation in response to ionomycin, a Ca2+ ionophore. Inhibition of CaMKII, but not CREB, partially prevented the Tug1 KD mediated increase in Mcu. Together, these data suggest that Tug1 modulates MCU expression via a mechanism that may involve CAMKII and CREB. The Tug1 mediated regulation of MCU on mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, may have functional consequences for cellular Ca2+ handling which could have implications for cardiac disease.

Project description:Phosphorus is a critical nutrient controlling phytoplankton growth. Availability of this limiting factor can vary significantly in space and time, particularly in dynamic aquatic ecosystems. Diatoms are important eukaryotic phytoplankton that thrive in regions of pulsed phosphate supply, yet little is known of the sensory mechanisms enabling them to detect and rapidly respond to phosphorus availability. Here we show that phosphorus-starved diatoms utilise a novel Ca2+-dependent signalling pathway to sense and regulate cellular recovery following phosphorus resupply. This pathway, which has not previously been described in eukaryotes, is sensitive to sub-micromolar concentrations of phosphate, alongside a range of environmentally relevant phosphorus forms. Using comparative proteomics, we have characterised early adaptations governing diatom cellular recovery from phosphorus limitation. Strikingly, the dominant response was substantial enhancement of nitrogen assimilation proteins. This led to 12-fold increases in absolute nitrate uptake rates, relative to phosphorus-starved cells. Moreover, we find that the novel phosphorus-Ca2+ signalling pathway controls this primary recovery response. Our findings highlight that fundamental cross-talk between the essential nutrients phosphorus and nitrogen drive diatom recovery from phosphorus limitation. Moreover, a novel Ca2+-dependent phosphorus signalling pathway governs such ecological acclimation responses, and is thus likely critical to the success of diatoms in regions of episodic nutrient supply.

Project description:24 nucleotide siRNAs are central players in RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM), a process that establishes DNA methylation at transposable elements to ensure genome stability. The plant-specific RNA polymerase IV (Pol IV) is required for siRNA biogenesis and is thought to transcribe RdDM loci to produce primary transcripts that serve as precursors to siRNAs. Yet, no such transcripts have ever been reported. Here, through RNA sequencing and double-stranded RNA sequencing in genotypes that compromise the dicing of siRNA precursors, we were able to identify Pol IV-dependent transcripts from tens of thousands of loci. We show that Pol IV-dependent transcripts correspond to both DNA strands, while the Pol II-dependent transcripts produced upon de-repression of the loci are derived from primarily one strand. We show that Pol IV-dependent transcripts have a 5â monophosphate, lack a polyA tail at the 3â end, and contain no introns; these features distinguish them from Pol II-dependent transcripts. Moreover, RDR2 is shown to play similar roles with Pol IV in both the abundance of siRNA precursors and siRNAs as well as the CHH DNA methylation. The decreased CHH methylation at dcl234 can inhibit the transcription of Pol IV at DRM2-target sites. Finally, the regulations of siRNA biogenesis were explored. To detect siRNA precursors transcribed by RNA polymerase IV, the genome wide profiling of RNA were carried out at dcl234 and dcl234 nrpd1. Different types of RNA (including Total RNA, polyA+ RNA, polyA- RNA, double stranded RNA) libraries were built to detect different transcripts. RDR2 is a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in Pol IV complex, so the RNA-seq libraries with the mutation of RDR2 were also built. In addition, smRNA libraries with mutations blocking siRNA biogenesis were also built

Project description:RNA polymerase IV (Pol IV) transcribes transposable elements (TEs) into precursors for small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that guide DNA methylation to silence these potentially dangerious mobile elements in plants. Pol IV is recruited to TEs via SNF2-like CLASSY (CLSY) proteins. How Pol IV evolved to partner with the CLSYs is unknown. Using phylogenetics, we identified a conserved CYC-YPMF motif that is specific to Pol IV’s largest subunit. Modeling predicts that this motif coordinates a zinc ion and is exposed near Pol IV’s surface in a domain contacting downstream DNA. Via immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry we found that this motif is essential for the association of all four CLSYs with Pol IV and hereby designate it as a CLSY-docking motif. Consistent with these biochemical results, mutations in the CLSY-docking motif or in neighboring sites of the Pol IV clamp domain, phenocopy pol iv null mutants and display a near-total loss of siRNA biogenesis, resulting in defects in DNA methylation and TE silencing. Together, our findings provide structural and functional insights into a critical protein feature that distinguishes Pol IV from other RNA polymerases, allowing Pol IV to target, transcribe and limit the expression of TE regions, thereby protecting genome integrity.
