Project description:The trans-luminal LINC (Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex plays a central role in nuclear mechanotransduction by coupling the nucleus with cytoskeleton. High spatial density and active dynamics of LINC complex have hindered its precise characterization for the understanding of underlying mechanisms how the linkages sense and respond to mechanical stimuli. In this study, we focus on SUN2, a core component of LINC complex interconnecting the nuclear lamina and actin cytoskeleton and apply single molecule super-resolution imaging to reveal how SUN2 responds to actomyosin contractility. Using stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), we quantitated the distribution pattern and density of SUN2 on the basal nuclear membrane. We found that SUN2 undergoes bidirectional translocation between ER and nuclear membrane in response to actomyosin contractility, suggesting that dynamic constrained force on SUN2 is required for its proper distribution. Furthermore, single molecule imaging unveils interesting dynamics of SUN2 molecules that are regulated by both actomyosin contractility and laminA/C network, whereas SUN2 oligomeric states are not affected by actomyosin contractility. Lastly, the mechanical response of SUN2 to actomyosin contractility was found to regulate expression of mechano-sensitive genes located in lamina-associated domains (LADs) and perinuclear heterochromatin. Taken together, our results reveal how SUN2 responds to mechanical cues at the single-molecule level, providing new insights into the mechanism of nuclear mechanotransduction.

Project description:The mechanical environment is sensed through cell-matrix contacts with the cytoskeleton, but how signals transit the nuclear envelope to impact cell fate decisions remains unknown. Nuclear actin coordinates chromatin motility during differentiation, plasticity and genome maintenance, yet it also remains unclear how nuclear actin responds to mechanical force. Intriguingly, ATR translocates to the nuclear envelope to protect the nucleus during cell motility or compression. Here, we show that ATR drives nuclear actin assembly via recruitment of Filamin-A to the inner nuclear membrane through binding of the hippo pathway scaffold and ATR-substrate, RASSF1A. Moreover, we demonstrate how germline RASSF1 mutation disables nuclear mechanotransduction resulting in cerebral cortex thinning and associates with common psychological traits. Thus, defective mechanical-regulated pathways may provide an explanation for complex neurological disorders.

Project description:SUN (Sad1 and UNC-84) and KASH (Klarsicht, ANC-1 and Syne homology) proteins are constituents of the inner and outer nuclear membranes. They interact in the perinuclear space via carboxy-terminal SUN-KASH domains to form the Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex thereby bridging the nuclear envelope. LINC complexes sustain numerous biological processes by connecting chromatin with the cytoplasmic force generating machinery. Here we show that the coiled-coil domains of SUN-1 are required for oligomerization and retention of the protein in the nuclear envelope, especially at later stages of female gametogenesis. Consistently, deletion of the coiled coil domain makes SUN-1 sensitive to unilateral force generation across the nuclear membrane. However, absence of this domain does not lead to different expression levels of sun-1 and other known meiotic genes in the mutant compared to wild type. Premature loss of SUN-1 from the nuclear envelope leads to embryonic death due to loss of centrosome-nuclear envelope attachment. However, in contrast to previous notions we can show that the coiled-coil domain is dispensable for functional LINC complex formation, exemplified by successful chromosome sorting and synapsis in meiotic prophase I in their absence.

Project description:Mechanical forces generated through adhesive interaction of endothelial cells (EC) influence nuclear envelope and thereby gene transcription. Alteration in EC mechanical forces may trigger aberrant gene transcription leading to lethal vascular diseases including acute lung injury (ALI). The intrinsic pathways that instruct EC nuclear-mechanotransduction and thereby maintains vascular homeostasis remain elusive. We have identified focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-mediated mechanotransduction at the nuclear envelope in instructing transcription of EC-barrier protective genes. We show that loss of EC-FAK increases intracellular tension, which in turn activates nuclear envelop protein emerin, and DNA methyltransferase 3a (DNMT3a). Methylation of transcription factor KLF2 promoter by DNMT3a impaired KLF2 synthesis and transcription of the crucial barrier-maintaining gene, S1PR1. Restoring KLF2 or S1PR1 expression or impairing emerin or DNMT3a activity rescued vascular homeostasis in lungs with FAK-deficient or WT-damaged endothelium. Thus, FAK protects against tension-induced aberrant DNA methylation in EC and is a promising target to prevent ALI.

Project description:The transposon silencing piRNAs are produced from precursors that are encoded by heterochromatic clusters and processed in the perinuclear nuage. We show that the Drosophila nuclear DEAD box protein UAP56, previously implicated in mRNA splicing and nuclear export, co-localizes with the cluster-associated HP1 homologue Rhino. Prominent nuclear foci containing Rhi and UAP56 localize directly across the nuclear envelope from Vasa, a conserved DEAD box protein and core nuage component that is required for piRNA production, and piRNA precursors immunoprecipitate with both UAP56 and Vasa. A uap56 point mutation that prevents UAP56 protein co-localization with Rhino also disrupts nuage organization, transposon silencing, and expression of dual strand piRNA clusters. By contrast, this allele significantly increases ectopic piRNAs from protein coding genes. We therefore propose that UAP56 and Vasa organize a piRNA-processing compartment that spans the nuclear envelope, increasing the efficiency and specificity of piRNA biogenesis. 3 replicates of each sample (uap56, vasa), total RNA samples hybridized to tiling array.

Project description:Lamins and transmembrane proteins within the nuclear envelope regulate nuclear structure and chromatin organization. Nuclear Envelope Transmembrane Protein 39 (Net39) is muscle nuclear envelope protein whose functions in vivo have not been explored. We show that mice lacking Net39 succumb to severe myopathy and juvenile lethality, with concomitant disruption in nuclear integrity, chromatin accessibility, gene expression and metabolism. These abnormalities resemble those of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), caused by mutations in A-type Lamins (LMNA) and other genes, like Emerin (EMD). We observe that Net39 is downregulated in EDMD patients, implicating Net39 in the pathogenesis of this disorder. Our findings highlight the role of Net39 at the nuclear envelope in maintaining muscle chromatin organization, gene expression and function, and its potential contribution to the molecular etiology of EDMD.
