Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is vital for RNA metabolism and function and is one of the most abundant internal RNA modifications. Recently, m6A has been indicated in regulating replication of multiple viruses; however, the role of m6A in typical arbovirus-alphavirus, is mainly elusive. Alphavirus containing several emerging and re-emerging pathogens that poses great threat to human health. Here, we show that the prototype alphavirus, Sindbis virus (SINV), its replication is regulated by m6A readers. Of which, depleting YTHDF3 results in reduced SINV release but increased viral capsid within the cell. Mechanically, YTHDF3 bind and regulate the mRNA stability of SQSTM1, the major selective autophagy receptor, which targeting of capsid into autophagosomes. Furthermore, we found interaction between YTHDF3, SQSTM1 and capsid in pairs. K27 ubiquitination is the dominant modification for SINV capsid. Besides ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain, the N-terminal domain of SQSTM1 has stronger interaction with capsid, highlighted the role of RL peptide mimic within the capsid. Further experiments revealed that the interaction between YTHDF3 and SQSTM1 protein relies on their YTH-domain and ZZ-type Zinc finger domain respectively. Together, these results highlight the role of m6A modification reader YTHDF3 in regulating selective autophagy during virus infection and provide new insights into alphavirus replication cycle.

Project description:In several long-lived Caenorhabditis elegans strains, such as insulin/IGF-1 receptor daf-2 mutants, enhanced proteostatic mechanisms are accompanied by elevated intestinal lipid stores, but their role in longevity is unclear. Here, while determining the regulatory network of the selective autophagy receptor SQST-1/SQSTM1, we uncovered an important role for lipid droplets in proteostasis and longevity. Using genome-wide RNAi screening, we identified several SQST-1 modulators, including lipid droplets-associated and aggregation-prone proteins. Expansion of intestinal lipid droplets by silencing the conserved cytosolic triacylglycerol lipase gene atgl-1/ATGL enhanced autophagy, and extended lifespan. Notably, a substantial amount of ubiquitinated proteins were found on lipid droplets. Reducing lipid droplet levels exacerbated the proteostatic collapse when autophagy or proteasome function was compromised, and significantly reduced the lifespan of long-lived daf-2 animals. Altogether, our study uncovered a key role for lipid droplets in C. elegans as a proteostatic mediator that modulates ubiquitinated protein accumulation, facilitates autophagy, and promotes longevity.

Project description:Astrocytes, one of the most resilient cells in the brain, transform into reactive astrocytes in response to toxic proteins such as amyloid beta (Aβ) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, reactive astrocyte-mediated non-cell autonomous neuropathological mechanism is not fully understood yet. We aimed our study to find out whether Aβ-induced proteotoxic stress affects the expression of autophagy genes and the modulation of autophagic flux in astrocytes, and if yes, how Aβ-induced autophagy-associated genes are involved Aβ clearance in astrocytes of animal model of AD. Whole RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to detect gene expression patterns in Aβ-treated human astrocytes in a time-dependent manner. To verify the role of astrocytic autophagy in an AD mouse model, we developed AAVs expressing shRNAs for MAP1LC3B/LC3B (LC3B) and Sequestosome1 (SQSTM1) based on AAV-R-CREon vector, which is a Cre recombinase-dependent gene-silencing system. Also, the effect of astrocyte-specific overexpression of LC3B on the neuropathology in AD (APP/PS1) mice was determined. Neuropathological alterations of AD mice with astrocytic autophagy dysfunction were observed by confocal microscopy and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Behavioral changes of mice were examined through novel object recognition test (NOR) and novel object place recognition test (NOPR). Here, we show that astrocytes, unlike neurons, undergo plastic changes in autophagic processes to remove Aβ. Aβ transiently induces expression of LC3B gene and turns on a prolonged transcription of SQSTM1 gene. The Aβ-induced astrocytic autophagy accelerates urea cycle and putrescine degradation pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy exacerbates mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in astrocytes. Astrocyte-specific knockdown of LC3B and SQSTM1 significantly increases Aβ plaque formation and hypertrophic reactive astrocytes in APP/PS1 mice, along with a significant reduction of neuronal marker and cognitive function. In contrast, astrocyte-specific overexpression of LC3B reduced Ab aggregates in the brain of APP/PS1 mice An increase of LC3B and SQSTM1 protein is found in astrocytes of the hippocampus in AD patients. Taken together, our data indicates that Aβ-induced astrocytic autophagic plasticity is an important cellular event to modulate Aβ clearance and maintain cognitive function in AD mice.

Project description:Epigenetic factors and related small molecules have emerged to be strongly involved in autophagy process. Here we report that two inhibitors of histone H3K4 demethylase KDM1A/LSD1, 2-PCPA and GSK-LSD1, are able to induce autophagy in multiple cell lines. The two small molecules induced accumulation of LC3II, formation of autophagosome, fusion of autophagosome with lysosome and SQSTM1/p62 degradation. 2-PCPA treatment inhibits cell proliferation through cell cycle arrest but not inducing cell death. Exogenous expression of KDM1A/LSD1 impaired the autophagic phenotypes triggered by 2-PCPA. The autophagy induced by 2-PCPA requires LC3-II processing machinery. But depletion of BECN1 and ULK1 with siRNA did not affect the LC3-II accumulation triggered by 2-PCPA. 2-PCPA treatment induces the change of global gene expression program, including a series of autophagy-related genes, such as SQSTM1/p62. Taken together, our data indicate that KDM1A/LSD1 inhibitors induce autophagy through affecting the expression of autophagy-related genes and in a BECN1-independent manner.

Project description:Sequestosome1 (SQSTM1) is an autophagy receptor that mediates degradation of intracellular cargo, including protein aggregates, through multiple protein interactions. These interactions form the SQSTM1 protein network that are mediated by SQSTM1 functional interaction domains, which include LIR, PB1, UBA and KIR. Despite various attempts to unravel the complexity of the SQSTM1 protein network, our understanding of the relationship of various components in cellular physiology and disease states continues to evolve. To investigate the SQSTM1 protein interaction network, we performed proximity profile labeling by fusing TurboID with the human protein SQSTM1 (TurboID::SQSTM1). This chimeric protein displayed well-established SQSTM1 features including: production of SQSTM1 intracellular bodies, binding to known SQSTM1 interacting partners via defined functional SQSTM1 interacting domains and capture of novel SQSTM1 interactors. Strikingly, aggregated tau protein altered the protein interaction network of SQSTM1 to include many stress associated proteins. Overall, our work reveals the dynamic landscape of the SQSTM1 protein network and offers a resource to study SQSTM1 function in cellular physiology and disease state.

Project description:(Macro)autophagy is a cellular degradation pathway that delivers substrates to lysosomes via autophag(Macro)autophagy is a cellular degradation pathway that delivers substrates to lysosomes via autophagosomes. Among physiological stimuli, nutrient starvation is the most potent inducer of autophagy. However, the logic behind the selection of the autophagy substrates during starvation is unclear. During starvation, the transcription factor EB (TFEB) becomes activated and promotes the expression of numerous autophagy-related genes. In this study, we demonstrate that TFEB enhances autophagosome biogenesis by driving the formation of p62/SQSTM1 bodies. Within these structures, we identified ubiquitinated ribosomal proteins as key substrates. We found that the E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNF598, a newly identified TFEB target gene, is upregulated during starvation and promotes the ubiquitination of ribosomal proteins, facilitating their sequestration into SQSTM1 bodies. These findings reveal a transcriptionally coordinated mechanism through which TFEB regulates both ubiquitination and autophagy receptors to direct selective cargo clearance during starvation-induced autophagy.osomes.

Project description:Usutu virus (USUV) is an emerging orthoflavivirus, which mainly affects birds but in rare cases can cause severe neuroinvasive disease in humans. Due to the limited size of the orthoflavivirus genome the virus relies on the host machinery for replication. In addition, it must subvert the host antiviral response for successful replication in the cell. Studying this complex network of virus-host protein interactions by proteomics approaches can provide us new insights in the replication cycle of viruses and can help us better understand the viral pathogenesis. We have previously shown that the USUV protein NS4A acts as an antagonist of the interferon response, and here we further map the host interaction partners of USUV NS4A using proximity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry. The resulting NS4A interactome revealed many host proteins involved in the autophagy pathway. We showed that both USUV infection and overexpression of USUV NS4A can induce the autophagy pathway. However, stimulation or inhibition of the autophagy pathway did not affect USUV replication in general. Therefore, we decided to look specifically at the role of the selective autophagy receptor sequestosome 1 (p62/SQSTM1), which was identified as an interaction partner of USUV NS4A. We found that p62 is involved in the degradation of USUV NS4A. Furthermore, the knockdown of p62 enhanced replication of USUV in A549 cells, which means p62 functions to restrict USUV replication. In conclusion, this study showed that USUV NS4A induced autophagy and was then targeted by p62 for degradation by the autophagic machinery, uncovering a new role of p62 in the antiviral defense against USUV.
